News: Kings Island prepares for opening

By Aaron

Apr. 7th, 2005 -- When Paramount's Kings Island begins weekend operation on Saturday, guests will notice plenty of little changes and a few big ones at the park.

Two new shows will play at PKI, including "Turn It Up!", a country music show which has played at the park before, but was not running last year. Nine of the park's rides, including the park's famed Racer roller coaster, will have increased height restrictions. The Eiffel Tower and Face/Off will be repainted, although Face/Off will remain open during the process.

The park's biggest addition, The Italian Job: Stunt Track roller coaster, will not open until May 20. However, later this month, PKI will begin "technical rehearsals", allowing guests to ride the coaster and give the park comments on it.
