Ponds are nice but what the park really needs is TREES! I think the park should build a walk-way through the Intimidator field with trees everywhere. Something like the Canopy would be nice. Just a little walk through the woods. It would make a great scare zone too! The Thrill Zone also needs trees. There is no shade what-so-ever in that area. Also, there need to be more trees in Dinosaurs Alive. If I have to pay for it, I at least want to be able not to look at it from Afterburn and Intimidator. Keep it hidden. The best place for the skyflyer IMO would be in Kookaburra Bay's spot.

Totally agreed. The park NEEDS trees. It is hotter than hell in the Summer and there are no trees for shade. Not to mention shade and airflow in the que lines for all the rides, especially Afterburn. You are blocked from any type of breeze and what fans they have there are not enough. $50 million to spend, buy some fans and shade. Oh, and a new webcam!

Seems like earlier in the season, I reported seeing some stakes in the Intimidator field, you guys dismissed it as being for some show that was held there. I'm wondering if they were for the restaurant complex?

The new food Complex is suppose to go in that area, which also requires the removal of GR8 SK8 and the Train.

I really don't like complaining but I'm disappointed to hear GR8 SK8 and the train leaving. Last year, the cars left, now two more non coaster rides are going. As much as I love coasters, I wish they would start bringing in some non coaster rides instead of continuing to remove them.

I couldn't agree more, but why in the world would the two planet snoopy rides have to go? Is the complex really that big?

[arby]

They did say it will seat 500. The Festhaus complex at KI is quite large.

Festhaus is at BG

[RollerBee]

Kings Island has one too, it is next to I-Street.

^correct, I have been to both of them but only mentioned the Cedar Fair one since I'm guessing it would be modeled more after KI.

On a separate note, when I was at the park for the last weekend I noticed that the pass scanners were gone from the main entrance. That makes me think they're upgrading their point of entry systems or they were starting to take them out to begin the work on the front entry. Nothing new in that comment because we know they are going to be working on the front gate in 2014 and will have it closed for some time for that work.

I think there are workers in the pond, but I can't be sure:

Did the park ever say that they would actually remove the gr8 sk8 and the train or is that just a rumor and I know about the restaurant

[arby]

^I've only heard it on here mentioned by one person. I've not heard of any official confirmation from the park.

Theres is a ramp down into the river made of dirt on webcam. Skycoaster over the river? Hopefully they build a pier instead offilling the river.

I don't see any reason for them to remove either. If they use the preexisting Intimidator field, they shouldn't have to remove anything. I mean, how big can a restaurant be?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Yea I never heard anything from the park either, only on here. Didn't one person also say the train was staying but gr8 sk8 was gone... Cant remember... I think GR8 SK8 should be moved anyway to a new location more into the kid park or something, but I don't know. If they do remove it, it will be a big loss to a great flat ride we have..


Just checked the webcam and yea there is definately something going on over there in the pond... Pretty excited because I l want to do sky flyer again..
