Kings Island 2021 Discussion
Park is slammed today. 11:20 and the lot is half full already with a line of traffic down Kings Island Drive. Not a good day to be here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

CI Shooting Star
Yes, the star was moved to KI for Halley's Comet. Also, if you would like more info about the Shooting Star, I would suggest reaching out to Alfred Freeman on Facebook. He knows a lot about the coaster. He also worked on some including the Screechin' Eagle at Americana.

El Toro "Derails"
It was a derailment. The wheel is clearly above the track. The whole train doesn't have to come off to be a derailment.

Tweetups Return in 2021
Best line from that blog "Don’t assume every time you see me out in the park that a tweetup is about to happen."

Did you not read my post? The area was graded. There are no remnants of Firehawk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Possible Area 72 expansion??
It could be an elevated flat ride, something that would require a foundation that had to handle high stress . I highly doubt a new coaster. or maybe for a new train bridge to allow the train to go around the park??? That would be nice.

Possible Area 72 expansion??
Just an observation from riding Orion multiple times this year. It appears there may have been some core samplings done on the other side of Orion's fence. What I see are small round spots in the grass that appear to be filled in with gravel. These spots aappear to be fresh. The photos don't really show as clearly as the view from Orion, but you can't take pictures from rides. LOL Before people say "thats from Firehawk", here is a photo that will show you that the land was graded during Orion's construction so they are clearly new "holes"Just wondering what could be in store for the future??

On this date in 1875
I went exploring earlier this year. I was able to find the footers for the old Motordrome and marked them in Google maps. I also found some gas lines fro either old lamps from the motordrome. I may have also recovered some riding steel from the coaster. The parts where the coaster and motordrome were not filled in like the rest of the park in the 1970’s.

Here is the video. Looks pretty dangerous with the supports moving that much.

Kings Island app survey
I just wish that lockers could be paid for using apple pay since I don't take my wallet in the park anymore.

Having cash has no effect. You might want to research how businesses run. Most large investments are financed.

Eiffel Tower's 50ft Observation Deck
The 50ft deck would be excluded from the ADA because it existed before the act. There are multiple reasons. When it rained it became very slick and there where always people slipping and getting injured m, also teens would throw stuff from that level at people down below. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

KI Hotel Concept
Here is a crude diagram I put together I think would be beneficial for KI and the area. Adding a Hotel Breakers style Hotel and enclose the wave pool to be used in the winter time by Hotel guests. Also add a Kings Island Convention Center that can hold regional events.
