NEW KI I-STREET WEBCAM NO MORE MYSTIC
Seems as though the view on the I street cam zoomed in a bit (can no longer see the top of the tower).

2023 KI shows announced
Absolutely fine with the line up. Reminds me of the old days when shows would get 2-year runs. However, back in the day the shows were staggered so every year there was a new show or two. Made it easier for creative to come up with one or two new shows a year rather than all of them at once. Maybe they'll get back to that rotation, it gave the regulars something new to look forward to show-wise every year.

GRAIN AND GRILL NEW FOR 2023
I would like to see pasta/ziti, etc. They could do a Hugo's like at CP. It always seems to be busy.

2023 Offseason Speculation/Work
Hard to tell how much is painted. If it's only the lift hill supports, that could be done in a day or two. I think they can open it without the painting complete. Since KI is only open weekends for the first month or so there is plenty of time during the week to get it done. We will know soon enough when they start testing it in a week or two.

Food places in KI for 2023
In the past I have upcharged the dining plan with tomato soup (I think it was like $2.)

Food places in KI for 2023
I agree but they should keep the "true Cincinnati" like Skyline, Greaters and LaRosas. Places like Chic, Starbucks and Cinnebon are pretty much available everywhere.

Make sure to NOT follow this training video. (One of my all time favorite you tube videos :)!!! (Yes, it's a parody, NSFW (language) and absolutely hilarious!) And here's the original source material:

What if The Bat 1981 was a success?
Interestingly enough that also happened to another suspended arrow. ElToroRyan mentions it in his video. No one was on the ride and I think it was when they were transfering it. The car fell about 10-15 feet and wan't damanged except for the bottom "sabilizer" wheel.

ElToroRyan just did a great video on his youtube channel about Big Bad Wolf that shed's light on the original Bat's issues.

Looks like Monster is coming to life on the cams if anyone is intersted. (Any guesses on when the tree will be taken down by zepher?)

Backlot Stunt Coaster Special Effects Removed
My guess would be yes.

Food places in KI for 2023
My guess is being closed on Sundays didn't help. You have one location that can make food that is not opened or staffed 1 day of the week. In my opinion Chick should have made an exception for theme parks, zoo's, etc. when it came to their Sunday policy. I wonder if CF asked them about that. I could see people coming into the park just to get Chick, however I doubt not having a Chick would keep anyone away. Let's see how many people will be asking for a refunds since the choices of the meal plan changed during the off season

Phantom Theater Encore Reviews
I hope it returns as well. Back in the day when KI had the best shows in the industry they would run a show for 2 years. As I've stated before I hope they do this with Encore as well as release a vinyl album (like they did with Celebration) with a bi-fold cover full of show and behind the scenes pictures and a qr code for digital download. My copy of Celebration was signed by most of the cast.

I'm gathering that the KI camera's are not moveable like the ones at CP. The Orion camera is focused on just that, Orion. Chances would be better to take the Mystic camera and use it as a moveable one to highlight new areas (put it on the (old) Hanks building as an example.

Splash Mountain water for sale...
Just think of the money that dried off riders in the sun. Little did they know they could have wringed out their clothes, collected the water and at $50 an oz maybe would have had enough for parking

Camp Cedar No Longer Listed On KI’s Website
Aside from being a great place for birds to nest, not sure

Camp Cedar No Longer Listed On KI’s Website
CF knows what they are doing when it comes to hotels, camp grounds, etc. Just look at the campground at CP. Always full during peak season. I think the probelm here may have been overestimating the amount of people who come to camp. CP is a destination with the park, beach, watersports, etc. People usually go for more than a day or two so camping makes sense from a money standpoint. KI has no beach and can usually be tackled in 1 day (especially with a fastpass). Plus the campsites are not a walk to the park like the ones at CP are. Completely agree that the old KI Inn site should have been used for a Hotel. However it would have to be a "Breakers Express" type pricing because of Great Wolf Lodge so close.

Museum of Horrors - Any Information?
Thanks, I knew you'd be able to help! I'm almost positive the spinning tonel was used in CarnEvil both when it was in the Festhaus and in the Snoopy Theatre. Miss that maze, it was a good one.
