Looking back on the 90's and in 2001 and seeing International Street this way, with the landscaping along the Royal Fountains, really makes me miss it!

The old berm on International Street did look nice. Kings Dominion got a similar one back in 2014 for their 40th.

Do you (or anyone) know when it was taken out and just replaced with grass? 

From the KIC Podcast,  Chad didn't tell us but something new or updated seems to be in the works for International Street,  my guess is new paint on some of the buildings.

I would think the berm in the front with the park logo was removed during the 2002 - 2003 offseason when they rebuilt the fountain pool. The European style floral bushes along the fountain were probably removed in the late 90's.

I hope they don't replace the berm. Why block the view of the Royal Fountain?

Indeed, I like what they did so you can sit or stand and take picture's in front of it!   I hope they bring back the European style floral bushes next to the fountains though, they looked amazing! 

RiverTown most definitely, I just love the old style theming there, also because of Diamondback and The Beast. (Two of my favorite coasters!)

I agree with what everyone else had to say when they said Rivertown. You have The Beast, Mystic Timbers, and Diamondback that make Rivertown really unique. If I could change one thing though, I would move the Congo Falls ride over by Race for your life Charlie Brown and Thunder Canyon. It's weird how they have one water ride all by it's lonesome self in Action Zone. Also that would mean moving the old Tomb raider ride building over where Congo Falls sits now. I know you can't move a building, but I'm just talking RCT terms here. I also realize that would cost a lot of money to tear down a building, then move a ride across the other end of the park.

Rivertown for sure. Love the look with the building near Beast and around Diamondback with the corral front and gift shop and then log flume across the plaza with MT entry next to it. Plus great rides with Beast, DB, and MT along with WWC. Would like to see more thematic buildings added (change the appearance of Reds and the Crypt building mostly.) 

love Oktoberfest too for what’s there but needs to be bigger. But the trees and pond with the Festhaus is nice.

With Coney Mall getting the Antiques in 2019 and the B&M project in 2020, I suspect the foot traffic will stay in that section of the park. I have no idea if the park is finally going to brand X-Base as its own thing or if it'll stay a subsection of CM. 

River town until a new coaster opens and then it will probably be that area. The knack on Rivertown though is people think they are secluded enough to get away with smoking anywhere they dang please.

Some people are not considerate of others. I am not coninced it has anything to due with seclusion.
