Covid-19 fallout result in mergers/acquisitions?
Six Flags is considering building a waterpark in Mazatlan, Mexico. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=https://lineadirectaportal.com/sinaloa/six-flags-podria-inaugurar-un-parque-en-mazatlan-lo-visitarias_20210107-1168953/&prev=search&pto=aue There are also rumors that Six Flags is taking a look at Fresno, CA. I wouldn't be surprised it they acquire Island Waterpark.

Could KI be getting a Floorless next?
I wouldn't mind seeing a compressed air launch coaster like Launch Roller Coaster at Sun Tzu Cultural Park. https://rcdb.com/12256.htm https://www.kuer.org/business-labor/2019-05-23/utah-amusement-ride-manufacturer-feeling-squeezed-by-both-sides-as-u-s-china-trade-war-speeds-up

What area in Kings Island needs the most care right now?
I voted for Action Zone. I think they could replace Invertigo and Congo Falls with a Mack PowerSplash and then retheme/update the rest of the area.

Aquaman Getting Delayed to 2022
Speaking of missteps, Screamscape needs to up their game or pass the torch to someone else. Screamscape is usually 2-3 days behind reddit.com/r/rollercoasters and most other sites with news.

[What if] Park exchange.
Cedar Fair trades Valleyfair and Kings Dominion to Six Flags for Six Flags Over Texas.

Indianan Beach To Add 2 Rides for 2021
"A second new rollercoaster here within the next year." would be the third new ride for 2021.

Kings Island Camp Cedar to Open Spring 2021
At first, I thought this guy had some sort of beef with the park because all of his videos and articles begin with "Don't Wa$te Your Money". It comes across weird.

Indianan Beach To Add 2 Rides for 2021
In case you missed it, Gene Staples mentioned that quite a few new rides have been acquired. A second new coaster will be installed within the next year. They plan to add a new ride each year. Skip to about the 11 minute mark on this video. https://www.facebook.com/NewsandReview/videos/vb.271345239574505/414930102976641/?type=3&theater There is a lot of speculation that the second coaster is Cascabel 2.0. https://rcdb.com/353.htm

Kings Dominion Rumored to get 2021 Wing coaster
Looking at the supports, it is clear that Kings Dominion is not getting the Six Flags model. The four \|/ shaped supports that get bolted to the foundation are not there. We don't know if this coaster is the same model as Adventureland Park or not. https://twitter.com/KDFansOnline/status/1335308941694291968 Six Flags model: Dragon Slayer at Adventureland Park:

Could KI be getting a Floorless next?
It will be interesting to see how the 4D Free Spin turns out at Kings Dominion and if Cedar Fair buys more of them.

The Beach Waterpark is for sale!
I am curious if SeaWorld would be interested in converting this park into a Sesame Place.

KI New Ride
Based on comments made during the Q3 2020 earnings call, 2022 seems too soon for a major attraction. Something smaller and cheaper would make more sense. https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2020/11/04/cedar-fair-fun-q3-2020-earnings-call-transcript/

Could Kings Island get a record breaking Dive Machine?
Hangtime is an Infinity coaster, not a Euro-Fighter. I really like the lighting package on Hangtime and I would rather see a coaster like that at Kings Island instead of something that Cedar Point already has.

If you owned Kings Island
I would move the Xtreme Skyflyer to the SOB station area in order to free up land for an Action Zone overhaul. Some grading and retaining wall work would be needed to make a flat platform area.
