Stumbled on this on Twitter... it appears that Kings Island may be selling a small sliver of land adjacent to Kings High School to the school district. The land is currently undeveloped (and much of it cannot be developed due to topography), but would be used by the school for its sports fields and storm water management.

Area of interest on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/EHugudjSg3MqVpRt9

I cannot find any additional information on this, but thought it was interesting. Does anyone know more?

Also, an interesting aside... the map appears to still show the park's former Monorail, which was removed after the 1993 season. That land is now vacant.

Not surprising. Kings Local Schools is my local school district and they are running out of room for students and are currently trying to get a bond issue passed to be able to do some big projects.

Crazy to think that’s less then 1% of the property they own.

Yet they'll make $100,000 off of it

Wish I could sell 1% of my property for $100,000
