The time is coming when everything will be revealed and made known to all.

After months of speculation as to what's behind the fence in Coney Mall, Kings Island will make a major announcement Thursday, August 15 at 10 p.m. All guests visiting the park that day are invited to attend.

While Kings Island closes August 15 at 8 p.m., select rides, games and food locations will remain open in Coney Mall for guests to enjoy from 8-10 p.m.

Kings Island began teasing guests last month with a series of posters on a construction fence in Coney Mall. Each poster features a current or former ride at the park and a letter that spells out #TEOTWAWKI.
