Hi all! I think it would be a fun project to get some more good pictures of our beloved park. Pictures of all of the buildings (exterior & interior), rides, stands, theaters, and vistas within public view are requested. Do not enter restricted areas for a photo. Put some thought into the pictures you take. Play with the composition of each shot. If there are people in the way, kindly wait until they move or are away from the main focus of your photo. 

If you're interested, have access to a good phone or camera, and find yourself at Kings Island on a day where you can take some good pictures, then join the project! Submit your photos to KIC (linked below) and feel free to post them here as well. I will have a second post with suggestions below this one, including some KIC albums that look like they may need more up-to-date pictures.
