While surfing recent Kings Island videos, I saw that maintenance had people over at the water park painting some of the slides. I can imagine if Soak City opens for the 2021 season, it will have a new coat of paint...

Thought I would start this thread early lmao. With Labor Day right around the corner and the seasonal closing of Kings Island coming soon (November 1st this year), what do we all think will happen in the off season in preparation of the parks 49th season? First off, with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, I think at this point it's pure speculation. Who knows what impact the virus will have leading up to the 2021 season. Second, I would assume the park would begin to prepare for the 50th season in 2022. As to what those preparations would be, I would assume more cosmetic work. The Eiffel Tower needs a new coat of paint, as does Diamondback AND Racer (prefer Racer war repainted to its original color scheme), and other things I cant think of right now (lol). Third, there is no third....I ran out of things...to think of....oh dear... But yeah, what do y'all think?

I honestly feel an RMC like this would fit in great at the park. But judging from the POV, it seems a tiny bit tame.

I mostly agree that we don't need a giant wheel, but putting it in Planet Snoopy?!?!?! Please God no.... I'd say either put one back in Oktoberfest or somewhere along the Coney strip ^^^^This

Solid amen!

The Racer is hands down the best roller coaster. Period.

I don't think the BRUH moments can get any bigger than this...

That would be awesome!

Definitely better this year because they have the fountains fine tuned. Yeah, its shorter, but the improved effects make up for it 110%.

I can see it now....the Eiffel Tower is transformed into the worlds largest Bier Stein..... German music and Bavarian themes....the food....Paradise... Seriously, Kings Island must do this fr.

Believe it or not, it didn't stop. By chance I got an AMAZING blaster (in a car and seat I will not tell) and I was able to hit all of the targets. Some of them multiple times.

I haven't seen it yet. But just by looks, it seems like what I like to call a Sharknado Show. Whereas its so bad its good.

My highest score on BB was 3270. Did that back in 2016. Every time I ride, it seems like I either get close to it or not at all lol. But I havent given up.

Going off what @brenthodge said, this is steps in the right direction. Glad that the park is beginning to pour some love into Oktoberfest.

Why listen to them? There's more important issues. Like why is LaRosa's pizza better at Kings Island than at the restaurant?

They really need to get the band organ up and running. Its such a nostalgic part of the carousel and the CD track just doesn't have the same effect.

You forgot to mention the Viking Fury(325)'s repaint.

Basically (probably) the (former) smoking areas. Smoking is now only allowed OUTSIDE the park.

I think WinterFest is fine as is. The reason I go is to get some winter rides on the rides that are open and to take in Kings Island as a winter wonderland. Something you can't get the rest of the year. The sights and sounds alone are superb. On a separate note, going along with what @SonofBaconator has said in another thread, I really do hope that the park gives Oktoberfest more love. And thankfully over the last two seasons it has. We got the glockenspiel back in 2019 and Viking Fury got a repaint for 2020. I hope to see more done with Okoberfest and see it return to something unique in the park. *plays with the idea of a AE re-theme*

Me when I hear Kings Island is finally re-opening: (Squidward is my other summer plans)

Well, I know what i'm building at 2 am tonight!

Me and the vices in my head when I hear Kings Island can re-open: Putin: Kings Island can reopen!

What's wrong with The Racers? I don't entirely agree with your statement...

I believe that title now belongs to Orion. It's much larger, faster, taller, and expensive than Diamondback. Also, can you provide an example of a "rickity clack clack roller coaster"?

I dreamed that Kings Island opened tomorrow.
