Meal Deals, and meal deals
$12.99 with whatever you want on it. Then there are kids portions for $8.99. Just had a meal there and it fills you up real good, and didn't have too much on it. Person I am with almost finished theirs. The buffalo mac is very good.

How is the crowd right now?

The Giga Speculation Thread
Saw that moving like a week ago. Looked to be moving dirt.

Saw that the Eiffel Tower had some different light patterns going tonight, so I decided to go up and see it myself. Here's one of the patterns. Also can see the new lights on Boo Blasters.

Have you even seen it in person? If you haven't, I don't think you can make a final statement. It is quite a sight in person. I really like how it can change colors.

Chef Nathan is really doing well creating these new food/drink items. Here's another one he just tweeted out:

That's a great idea. I've always wanted a Wildmouse Coaster at the park, and thought that section would be perfect. WinterFest would definently benefit from it.

Intamin or B&M
First off, you worded your thoughts extremely well. This last statement I strongly agree with. It's just based on preference. I think the two company's are completely different in many aspects, and then are similar in several ways. Which is better than them being extremely similiar.

Guess what? I went back up just now again hoping to see the Eiffel Tower fully lit up...and it was! International Street looked awesome too. I saw some cool lights flashing purple and blue. I think it was the Boo Blasters building but I couldn't tell.

Do you know when they remove all of the photos? I do recommend this deal. Not only for unlimited photos to your phone, but you can also get great deals on magnets, frames, and other items for five bucks. Was really worth it, and got some great photos. Especially an onride photo for the first time my little cousin rode a coaster.

Closure of Dinosaurs Alive and opening of lots of land.
Of course no one likes waiting in lines! If people had to choose between the two, they would pick no line. People probably do still complain, but they choose to go in the lines. For example, two and a half hour wait (probably more) and people still were going in. They could complain but they knew what they were getting themselves into. Most people care about is the ride and the experience.

Drove by again due to having nothing else better to do. The big tree in front of the gate is now lit up:

Closure of Dinosaurs Alive and opening of lots of land.
It just comes down to how the ride ops are doing, and if guests are having trouble. Its more of an estimate, so somedays it could be 400 and others 840. There are so many factors that could change the number. It just depends.

Get rid of one coaster- The Poll
I really had three coasters in mind. The first one is Backlot. Like others above said the placement is terrible, but I think the ride is quite enjoyable. I know they probably won't do this, but if they did decide to remove it for some reason, I would hope/enjoy it if they kept it and moved it somewhere else. Invertigo was one of the two rides (other one coming up) I debated about voting for. I think you could do something better with that space. I do enjoy Invertigo but not as much as the other coasters. Michigan's Adventure could take it if they decided to reuse it. Looking on Google Maps I believe you could put a coaster in that space and go behind Congo Falls and the amphitheater. What kind? I think a Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster, like HangTime at Knott's, would be fantastic there. With a similar lighting package HangTime is getting, it would look absolutely fantastic at night from the parking lot and the highway. Maybe without the holding break, would rather have a B&M Dive Coaster. Could also make it longer, taller, and even more spaced out than HangTime. Here's the space I'm talking about and HangTime's lighting package: ^ From Google Maps ^ It would look fantastic in my opinion. Walking to the gate would be a different experiece as well. Photo credit: Knott's Berry Farm You could also even move Backlot there into Action Zone, would maybe have to get rid of/move Congo Falls though. Finally, Firehawk. I think Firehawk is in the way of potential expanding of X-Base. I ended up voting for Firehawk, because I really don't ride it a lot or even go into X-Base for that matter. I think a brand new plaza would be great and would accommodate a potential giga coaster. Especially with Dinosaurs Alive! going away. The warehouses and maze buildings would probably have to go away to really go all out. Could add some flats as well with the plaza.

Here's two pictures of the Eiffel Tower I just took (all taken in legal locations). Seems the lights on the back of the tower are the only ones on as of now. They also have some lights on the poles leading up to the entrance. Also saw reindeer on the top of the entrance building.

Souvenir cup question!

Here's a tweet from the Kings Island's games department. Looks like you'll be able to win a giant Santa, a candy cane, and/or a big bear (probably more). @MDMC01 should be happy based off his recent post in this thread .

They did say some prices weren't listed on the guide, so maybe there is one. They would be missing out on a good amount cash. If it's 25 I'll probably only do it once.

2018 Construction in Coney Mall
@gforce1994 It's still there. See below. Bathrooms still there as well. It's also on the grid map on their website. As "Sugar Plum Sweets". Link (select grid): https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/winterfest/attractions-activities

This WinterFest map reminds me of the old Paramount maps, in terms of the ground color. Here's one from 2004: Here's a comparison of this year's WinterFest and Paramount's WinterFest in 2005. Much more bigger this year and a lot more things to do. I mean a lot more.

2018 Construction in Coney Mall
That's the idea I have in mind. Not only that it will make them feel valued but I think it will bring even more workers in who are even more skilled. Which will make lines go faster. I'm pretty, pretty positive they can fit it in their budget. This will also make their overall park experience even greater.

Oh I agree with the fact about service needing to be approved. Hopefully they can get it fixed next year. How are they going to do it though? (It probably starts with the workers) Edit: Also think the Chick Fil-A should get renovated completely. Especially considering the issue @chugh43 brought up.

Current wait times
They never sell FastLane during Gold Pass events. I'm not sure why (I'm sure someone on here knows). I think if they want to lower crowds in the future (for future attractions) for preview night, they should implement a deadline to be eligible for it. (Like end of the season or December)
