This update from Kings Island's 2019 opening day contains several photos of what is new this year. This year Kings Island is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Beast. We waited 2 1/2 hours at opening for a free commemorative t-shirt.
New this year are the Kings Mills Antique Autos, Miami River Brewhouse, and a refurbishment of International Street and the facade of the Festhaus.
Also we too some photos from the top of the Eiffel Tower of the land clearing occurring on the former site of Firehawk.

Is this the early stages of construction for a giga coaster?

Also of note is that straight behind maintenance a new building is being built. Also, the land clearing to the right by the Racer turnaround comes very close to the Fireworks launching zone.
