Limited Edition Eiffel Tower Cutout with Authentic Paint Chip
If I eat the paint chip do I get super powers?

How about a bobsled?
Why not go completely off the rails and install a Virginia Reel? That's what the Coney Mall really needs in my opinion.

Yes, Drop Tower is getting painted
But I like the checkerboards.

Behind the Scenes at PKI (1998)
It makes me happy that people take the time to archive pieces such as this. Degradation of magnetic tape is killing off so many historical bits of media like this right now.

Another stand up coaster
It's a fairly maligned genre of coaster. Even if they managed to make it comfortable, the press would likely not be as positive if it had been something more conventional. That being said, I love stand-ups.

50th Anniversary Updates
Kind of fitting though.

How much longer for Congo Falls?
I can't see anything but another family friend attraction going here if it was going to go right after something like Orion was built. If it does have to go, I think some sort of 'light horror' themed flat ride could go there.

It's kind of tall, dude.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
No offense, but I do feel as if that thing would ugly up Rivertown. It really fits the aesthetics of Paramount's Action Zone.

There's that and the fact that leaving a tree up in a position that poses a risk of falling upon the tracks is not so appealing.

Wild Animal Safari, 1980
Isn't it true that the air conditioning for this was not functional early in its days of operation?

How much longer for Backlot Stunt Coaster?
Given how little strain it puts on the tracks, I don't see it going anywhere any time soon. It's not practical to tear out a reliable, popular ride like that. One thing I can see them doing is restyling it. I don't think that would be too difficult with how compact it is.

What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?
I wonder how difficult it would be to put a small enclosed flat ride with a glass ceiling inside of the FoF building so guests could look up into the spaghetti bowl in the darkness. It's a strange idea, but I think it would be very interesting if there was adequate real estate. Something like a Rotor or Gravitron would make the most sense.

Beast extended downtime
Don't crucify me for bringing this up, but assuming that The Beast requires significant retracking there is a non-zero chance that CF might consider RMCing it. It's not a fate that I am comfortable with, but more tragic things than that have happened in the past. The park's 50th is coming up soon after all, so radical change is always possibility even if unpopular with many.

POLL: The Fate of the Tomb Raider building
Frankly, I think the building is an excellent candidate to become a large 'barcade'. Given the location, the park could easily decorate it with either a full Rivertown theme or perhaps even a neon 80s style theming, given how close it is to the old Vortex plot. Alcoholic drinks could be sold and a wide selection of classic arcade cabinets could be made available. This is something that older guests with less affinity for the summer heat could certainly enjoy.

Kings Island 2021 Discussion
You're supposed to use echolocation to navigate the queue after dark. I figured that was pretty obvious.

Repetitive music in park
The park definitely needs more ambient music. Something like this might actually get me to go near WindSeeker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_SVhB-a7cc
