It may still be there now...But there are still several weeks until April 18th...Plenty of time to knock down a building...

Also on that map, I'm wondering what is occupying the former AZ target...

I just posted this in the Banshee Construction thread but since it applies here too...

"If you enlarge the map and look closely I think it looks like a shaded area, sort of like what is near Gatekeeper (by the Coke Freestyle and Yogurt Plus stores). I also find it interesting how this one sort of resembles a spiderweb...Adds to the whole creepy/dark feel of this area with Banshee and The Bat nearby too."

I'm not sure whether the lockers will be here of it it will just be a seating area. I'm hoping for the latter but then I'm not sure where the lockers will be.

I wish I could zoom in on the map.

Wait...am I really behind? I see no one talking about the tent-thing in the Action Zone circle. Or is that in another topic?

Also worth noting is that Action Theater was listed on the named on the map previous years, but is not this year.

That's what was being discussed in several posts above yours.

If you download the Education Days packet from the Kings Island site, you can zoom in all you want.

In other news, I was wondering when they'd remove The Box from the map; seemed confusing to have it on there if its only purpose is a Haunt attraction.

The tent-thing I assume to be a makeshift pavilion/shade structure that most likely won't have any ties to Banshee thematically, even if the base does resemble that of a Celtic circle.

Banshees lift hill goes over the second inversion? Go home map designer, you're drunk. lol

Notice that the giant room used for The Crypt is not on the map for the 2014 season for the first time.

If we will continue with trends from the past, the big building will be there for three more years until the park decides to remove it for future park expansion!

Not meant as a slam on the park, just a joke!

That's actually not unrealistic IMO!

I like it that they still consider that they have an area of the park named "Oktoberfest." Outside of the Viking Fury and a Festhaus that has nothing German in it- not sure that such an area exists anymore. But cute that they still name it.

While I'm at it- not sure that there's anything international about "International Street" anymore either outside of a Paris-themed tower.

But what about pizza and funnel cakes?

Funnel cake sounds good about now. Walmart has a funnel cake maker on clearance for $10 today.

No, it's not! They could easily remove that building, have that hill kind of create a circle to the entrance of The Beast, and have a large flat, or in time perhaps another coaster. Hopefully a flat first if one of the two.

I was looking the map over, and there is something unusual in the triangle of grass between AE, The Racer and FOF. It looks circular. I can't zoom in close enough to see, but generally, things are not put on the map that don't exist in some way...wonder what it could be?

I'm pretty sure that's the artist's depiction of Slingshot's ball.

Looked again....Yep you are right....LOL

I really like/appreciate that Timberwolf Amphitheater is labeled on the map as it hasn't been named on the map in recent years.

What I saw on the park map with the circle in the Action Zone area, was like a shaded area, with a small fountain in the middle? That's what it looked like, Action Zone really needed the shade.

The map has been highly unrealistic in proportion and coloring since about 2006. I miss the old maps back then... But I do appreciate the way they are made now because it's FUN. Which is what Cedar Fair is all about.

I think certain other maps are more useful in at least six ways...

For those wondering about the old Crypt building not being on the map, Don said in the Banshee Construction Progress thread that the Crypt's building is not being removed because it's not in use Opening Day through Labor Day. It will be back on the map during Halloween Haunt.

Here's the link to that post:

Actually, it shows Sling Shot as next to Delirium. Would the ball be that far away from the ride label? Though, I am looking at it on my phone, so that might be a factor somehow.

^ Yes; the ball is depicted at maximum height after launch, plus a level of exaggeration typical for the map.

^Ah. Thank you. I could barely see it on my phone.

Overall the new map looks good but I have some small qualms with the following items:

Delirium swinging toward Banshee just creates a giant tangled mess. They should've made Delirium swing the other way to prevent the congestion and also to allow for more space to accurately depict Banshee. The dive loop is crammed in there and the vertical loop doesn't go around the lift...

Also, I think The Bat's track layout is wrong near the turnaround next to Banshee.

Finally, the "new" path that connects the "new" Splash River entrance to older paths isn't the same color as the surrounding paths which makes it look like a separate path.

EDIT: Most of The Bat's layout seems off... not just the turnaround. (Nice catch rcwizard13)

Also on The Bat, the turn over the lift is shown as under the lift.
