If you think the winter weather conditions – the kind of weather that brings traffic to a halt – has slowed down construction at Kings Island on the new Kings Mills Antique Autos, think again.

Construction continues to move forward in the snow and cold with the ride taking shape more and more each day.

The attraction, which opens this spring, will feature two-third scale replicas of the 1911 Ford Model T. The leisurely rail-guarded drive will last approximately three minutes.

The Kings Mills Antique Autos will be comparable to the original Les Taxis antique car ride which operated at Kings Island from 1972 to 2004, combining nostalgia with new enhancements.

50th Anniversary Series: Kings Island construction uncovers forgotten cemetery

Surveying the 80-acre landscape of what would become Kings Island’s parking lot when the park opened in 1972, the construction project manager had 35,000 dump truck loads of dirt to move. He needed the project to stay on schedule and standing in his way was a cemetery, hidden somewhere on the giant plot of land. Before excavation could begin, his crew needed to find the cemetery and protect it. The clock was ticking.
