Snowball

I'd be pretty surprised if they never reopened again, honestly. I think they'll be okay, just not this season.

Somebody's chlorinated the water hole!

I was wondering about the fate of this just the other day!

A little off-topic but I love the way they've graphed the data on that article with it being interactive and easy to read. I wish that was more common!

It's not your fault the article is poorly written!

No, I believe that's just speculation.

From the petition comments: Uhhm, as much as I want to go back to the park, this is going to be a resounding "Hell no!" from me. This week AND no restrictions? That's recipe for disaster.

Not to be a negative nancy, but online petitions are pretty much pointless and rarely accomplish anything.

All of these clickbait headlines and articles about Cedar Point, The Zoo, Kings Island, etc. saying "REOPENING ON [date]" are starting to really get on my nerves. None of these places know when they can reopen because it's up to the Governor, not individual businesses. The "experts" they sometimes cite are proven wrong time and time again and yet these articles still get published.

Short answer: Nobody knows. Long answer: Aaaaaaaaaannnnsssswwwwweeeeerrrrrr

That too! That's a very scary thought.

It's hard enough to drive around in the park during the day even after going through training, I shudder at the thought of distracted guests driving through at night with no training. No thanks!

I mean, it probably doesn't cut down on smell, just germs.

Definitely. Large gatherings like that certainly won't help make it less intense though.

Stuff like this makes me wish we had an angry react button. The people that do this kind of stuff ruin everything for all of us. This stuff is what will cause a second wave.

Not that they’d be open, anyway.

I personally don't put any merit on what local (or any) news stations are putting out, just pay attention to what the park says in their statements. The media knows nothing more than what we all know. Plus as other people have mentioned, the person they credited doesn't have the best track record as far as predictions about KI go.

I’m thinking it might be rental/dealership lot overflow, then.

Using Photoshop, I put the entire park inside of The Vortex land plot. I think this would be a great addition to the park.

That's pretty far back from where those cars are parked, though. I still don't think it makes sense to park there.

I don't think anyone has given a definite answer for those cars. It's still a mystery as far as I've seen. Employee parking is nowhere close to there, so I doubt it's employees. Do they leave at night?

My thoughts on this are pretty similar to what others have said. I don’t see KI ever using those. Mystic Timbers is still very new in terms of a wooden coaster, so there’s no reason to replace trains already. Also, as gforce1994 mentioned, there’s quite a weight difference between these trains and the others. For Racer and Beast, I still don’t see them ever using these trains. I don’t think they’d match the style at all and I could see Kings Island not wanting to deviate from the current look and feel of those rides.

I was supposed to attend the Ozzy show at Riverbend. Maybe the shows will be rescheduled. I wouldn’t be mad if he decided to retire though, he deserves it 100%.

I moved to Ohio in 2008 and all of these posts about Phantom Theater really make me wish I was able to ride it. It sounds like I missed something awesome.
