    I really like the focus on theming and atmosphere we're seeing from Cedar Fair. They don't need to imitate Disney or Universal but adding these kind of details can really elevate the experience. Kings Island has always done a decent job with that anyway but this looks like they're really beefing things up. I'd love to see the new coasters throughout the chain get the presentation we see on Copperhead Strike.

    I live an hour away from Cedar Point and I'd rather go to Kings Island any day. It's more chill there, it doesn't get half the crowds that Cedar Point does, and overall just has a better atmosphere. We can argue Cedar Point has a better coaster lineup, but King's Island coaster lineup is also really solid and I feel provides more unique experiences compared to Cedar Point.

    Wow, Kings Island really tripled down on the Easter eggs! Never thought they'd reference the Last Night Ride On Adventure Express, but they did for us the enthusiasts. Would be awesome if Cedar Fair finally rethemes the Backlot Stunt Coasters. The old Paramount Italian job retheming was hit-or-miss, and each of these coasters deserves a unique theme for their park.

    My kinda dream plan for kings island is that after they put something (amazing) in the vortex plot that they replace son of beast station and use up the rest or a lot of the left over land from SOB for a major ride paying tribute to it. With this would come a heavy re theme of action zone. For me when I went to kings island last year action zone feels really lack luster compared to the rest of the park and due to the gap with sob station area bat feels isolated and out of the way to get on. With the new theming rout cedar fair is taking action zing just doesn’t hold up. With bat and banshee I feel like a horror or monster theme could work with Invertago eventually getting a light retheme since it’s be the easiest and least controversial to change to fit the theme.
