Festhaus and Oktoberfest
Built in 1971, Frontier Trail was the first public pathway connecting Frontier Town to the Main Midway. It's original length was from Main Midway RR crosing to the bridge in between SRF and Mavericks trim brake. In 2000 the trail was shortened and now begins near Red Garter Saloon (where the cement changes to asphalt). Even though the Trail is often grouped with Town and that they share the same soundtrack, Trail is in fact it's own area of the park. Town represents the old west as Trail is themed after pioneer log cabin settlements.

New Kings Island TV Commerical
That is an owner who takes pride in her park and about cleanliness. When was the last time if ever Kinzel appeared in a CP ad, or ever talk about how clean the park is?

CP takes their animatronics in during the off season. http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/2006/3/30/Winter_Getaway.cfm I would therefore assume KI would do the same.

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
Hopefully they keep the lighting maintained, is something CF does not excel in. Look what has become of MF, Power Tower and Giant Wheel's lighting package.

New Food Options Near KI
Kinzel must blind fold himself driving between his house and the park, and then never look out his front window. Besides, doesn't he prefer to look at the Fridays.

I highly doubt it, the FAA has very strict height restrictions near an airport.

Kentucky Kingdom
^nearby airport = strict height limits

Windseeker & Coney Mall Construction Continues
It's probably due to winds, you can't lift things when it's blustery but you can work on the ground. Thus saving time later.

Flea Market in old Geauga Parking Lot?
No, a partly demolished amusement park that hasn't been touched in three years with a "temporary" landfill in the old wave pool is better for area business.
