The lake is natural and would be exceedingly difficult to drain. The pool is not.

Actually the WWC lake is man made. It was created by building a darn (you walk across it to get to WWC) across the valley. If would very possible that they had put a drain in it when they built it.

If the small pond is the result of a dam, that dam would've been created pre-Kings Island- the train bridge, which crosses over the area that would've been lake, does not have water under it in the KI Construction video on YouTube:

In order for festhaus to return to the way it was, wouldn't panda express require das boot?

Yes, and in my opinion it would be a good decision. I love Asian food but not Panda express.

Refering to post #30 (as I can't reply on my blackberry). That is funny, we almost need a rivertown topic to get oktoberfest back in order.

I'd love to see Octoberfest be revived. The bier garten there is still one of the best chill spots in the whole park...and yes, I'd much rather see polka than country.
