A trip to our newest themed area opening this year, Adventure Port, won't be complete unless you experience the local cuisine. Enrique's will be a quick serve restaurant with a menu featuring traditional burritos, burrito bowls, tacos and more! Learn more: https://t.co/3fjqM6a4jP pic.twitter.com/LSWEHEWokq

There's also a major repaint taking place on Diamondback this offseason, the supports are being repainted to a darker brown while much of the track will be refreshed to a crimson red;

The repainting of Diamondback has begun in earnest. The color scheme is changing slightly on the 5,282-foot long steel roller coaster. We’re painting the track crimson red while the support columns are going from yellow and tan to mushroom brown. #KingsIsland pic.twitter.com/aKNISjRqOV

That top photo is a great unique view of Banshee, I quite like the red color´s contrast with the blue sky and the clouds.
