I hope that this will all come to pass soon, even though there is a high chance that this might be a long haul. If only people would stay inside!

Will they bump a ride from the FLP lineup for the new coaster or just add this one in?

I thought Mystic Timbers executed it's theming quite well, actually. Walking up to the queue for the first time I was genuinely impressed because Kings Island has not tried theming of that level since Tomb Raider, and for a regional park they really did what they had to do. I just hope 2020 can take notes from what it did right.

Do you guys think they'll try to theme the queue for the coaster in a similar way as they did for Mystic Timbers or do you think we'll see bare minimum theming like Banshee or none at all like Diamondback?

I really would want to see a SkyWarp or a Dark Ride (specifically in either the former crypt site or X-Base)

Is this recreation accurate as to how the coaster is going to end up looking? If so, it is extremely impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CutYxw9W2xc

If Boo Blasters had been properly maintained it would not be in the state of ire it is in now. At this point Kings Island can leave it as it is, renovate it, or replace it. Had you asked me a couple of years ago I would have said they would leave it no doubt, but with the current trend of renovations in the park I am slightly more hopeful that they will do something with it.

As someone who got a season pass for the first time in 5 years, I am actually very pleasantly surprised with the general improvements around the park. It feels so much better to just walk around again even though the area around Flight of Fear has seen better days at the moment, but hopefully the new ride will give incentive to spruce up that area as well.

I have only been on Banshee, Raptor and the now defunct Dueling Dragons at Universal Orlando. I happened to like Dueling Dragons better as Banshee ended up giving me a headache so bad that I had to sit down and drink water so I could continue on in the park. Ranking: 1. Dueling Dragons 2. Raptor 3. Banshee

They really aren’t messing around with how fast this is going up!

Personally I am more excited for WinterFest, just because I love the time around Christmas so much and I will definitely enjoy the lights and hopefully snow this year! Haunt has always been a little too much for me, but I might go this year just to ride the rides again!

What I would love to see in the old Tomb Raider building is a spinning roller-coaster like the one installed at HersheyPark not too long ago. It could probably work with the space in the building and it would be a great fit if they could tie the theme into Mystic Timbers somehow.

I think all The Beast needs is a new train to be a 10/10, as it's currently at about a 9.5/10 for me because of how awkward the dividers in the middle are. If they can fix the trains, I think the ride would be almost perfect.

I think the most we will probably get is a flat or two. Where they would put it, I don't really know. Maybe taking out Dinosaurs Alive and expanding X-Base or Coney Mall. I would love something similar to how they fixed up Candy Apple Grove at KD.

When I rode Banshee this year it seemed to have just a slight rattle to it that shook my head enough to give me a headache. Has this been something anyone else has encountered?? I found it very odd, as when I rode Banshee last it didn't seem to have this.

Yesterday was my yearly trip to King's Island, and it was also my birthday. It turned out to be the absolute perfect day to go, and had almost a perfect day with no real hiccups. The day began at around 10:30 AM and my group and I went to the Mystic Timbers lockers then went straight to the ride. The wait was around 10 minutes, which was MUCH shorter than I expected it to be. I was seated in the back row and had an amazing ride experience. As my first ride on Mystic Timbers, it was an amazing ride and one of my favorites in the park! Then I was able to almost walk on to Diamondback, and sat in the back car of that aswell. The other highlights of my day included riding Flight of Fear for the first time. It was alot more enjoyable than expected, but it did give me a headache on repeat rides. An oddity I experienced was the fact that Banshee was alot more shaky than remembered. It unexpectedly gave me a headache after riding so bad that I had to sit down for almost half an hour. Is that something anyone else has encountered? I ate my meal at KI at the Reds Resteraunt and split a 12 piece boneless wings, which at $12.99 was alot cheaper than I expected and it was of better quality than other food I had seen in the rest of the park. I did end up biting the bullet aswell and buying the Souvenir Drink Cup and definitely used the refill stations more than twice! I also bought a Mystic Timbers sweatshirt that was only $29.99 which was quite a deal considering where I was buying it! Overall a very fun trip, and I was extremely glad I went. Ride Count: Diamondback - 5 Flight of Fear - 3 Mystic Timbers - 2 The Beast - 2 Banshee - 2 Backlot Stunt Coaster - 1 Racer - 1 The Bat - 1 Delirium - 1 Adventure Express - 1

Sady, I wasn't able to attend. But I did make a driveby of the park when I was on my way to Cincinnati. Hopefully going to be going to KIsometime soon, but I hope everyone has a nice and safe time!

The new website seems like it will be easier to find things more quickly, so that's always a plus!

I am indifferent to the Smokehouse, as I don't normally visit Soak City. But it does seem to have typical foods so my indifference continues.

Oh, this just got me 10x more excited than I was a few minutes ago!

The focus on Rivertown has really added so much to the park, in terms of atmosphere and it's a really good sign that we might see similar things coming to other areas of the park.

The tunnel seems shorter than it seemed it would be in the Rendered POVs, maybe they still have a little more to add to it??

I hope they are still there, they were always a good addition to the light package.

Easter sunday is always a great day to go, because most people forget that the park is open that day or are busy spending time with families. Always the best day to go and see the new additions to the park!
