| 6/24/26 | Remembering Kenton’s Cove Keelboat Canal | Take a nostalgic trip back to Rivertown as Tower Topics explores the forgotten legacy of Kenton Cove’s Keelboat Canal, one of the most beloved family attractions in Kings Island history. While legendary rides like Vortex, King Cobra, The Bat, and Son of Beast often steal the spotlight, this innovative log flume entertained more than 40 million riders during its 27-season run. Join Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr as they dive into the ride’s unique turntable loading system, dual-drop chutes, surprising airtime, rich Rivertown theming, and the memories that made it a fan favorite before its removal in 2000 to make way for Tomb Raider: The Ride. If you love Kings Island history, vintage attractions, theme park nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories about lost rides, this episode is a must-watch for every amusement park enthusiast.

| 6/22/26 | What Could Vekoma Build at Kings Island? | Could a modern Vekoma coaster be exactly what Kings Island needs next? In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr dive into how Vekoma has transformed from its rough-and-tumble reputation into one of the most innovative coaster manufacturers in the amusement industry. From family launch coasters like Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood to cutting-edge tilt coasters and other next-generation attractions, they explore which Vekoma concepts could fit perfectly in Kings Island’s lineup and whether a family-focused thrill ride or groundbreaking new coaster belongs on the former Vortex site. They also compare Vekoma to manufacturers like Intamin, B&M, and RMC, discuss coaster industry trends, and debate what would truly move the needle for Kings Island’s next major investment. If you're a coaster enthusiast, Kings Island fan, or theme park industry follower, this is a must-watch discussion packed with coaster rumors, ride analysis, and predictions for the future of one of America’s most beloved amusement parks.

| 6/19/26 | Popcorn, Get Your Popcorn! | Is Kings Island losing the attention to detail that once made it one of the premier amusement parks in the industry? In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr discuss a seemingly small incident—a bucket of spilled popcorn left outside the park’s security checkpoint for more than a day—and why it may point to larger concerns about cleanliness, staffing, guest experience, park operations, and overall standards at Kings Island. From overflowing trash cans and inconsistent food service to maintenance, presentation, and management priorities, the conversation explores how the smallest details can shape a guest’s perception of quality and whether Kings Island is drifting away from the high standards that built its reputation. If you're a Kings Island fan, season passholder, amusement park enthusiast, or theme park industry follower, this deep dive into park operations, guest satisfaction, and Six Flags management is a must-watch.

| 6/17/26 | Should Kings Island Introduce Pin Trading Like Disney Parks? | Could Kings Island launch its own pin trading program inspired by Disney? In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr explore how Disney’s wildly popular pin trading culture became a guest favorite and discuss whether a similar collectible pin program could thrive at Kings Island. From limited-edition ride pins, event-exclusive releases, and anniversary collectibles to guest interaction, merchandise sales, and creating a stronger collector community, they break down the potential benefits and challenges of bringing pin trading to the park. Could exclusive pins for Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare, WinterFest, Haunt, Food & Wine Festival, and major attraction anniversaries become the next must-have collectibles for Kings Island fans? Join the conversation as they examine how a pin trading program could enhance the guest experience, boost merchandise revenue, and add a whole new level of engagement for coaster enthusiasts and park visitors alike.

| 6/15/26 | ![]() Does Kings Island Need a Major New Water Ride? | Could Kings Island benefit more from a groundbreaking water attraction than another roller coaster? In this episode of Tower Topics, Don Helbig and Ryan Suhr dive into Carowinds' newly announced record-breaking water ride and explore whether a similar investment could be the next big addition for Kings Island. From the future of Congo Falls and White Water Canyon to the park's current coaster lineup, they discuss how a major water attraction could appeal to families, casual visitors, and thrill-seekers alike while filling a gap in the park's attraction portfolio. Is another coaster really what Kings Island needs, or would a signature water ride create more excitement and value for guests? Join the conversation as they examine the possibilities, compare industry trends, and debate what could be next for one of America's most beloved amusement parks.
