The rides have remain unchanged as far as experience goes but I will be interested to see what change in theming or colors has taken place. I am not sure I can get used to these new names. I grew up at King's Island and while some of these are newer rides, I still frequent the park and have gotten used to them. Flight Desk just doesn't quite roll off the tongue like Top Gun did.
Eli, sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean "new" as in now, but as in the new owners as of '06. Funny how a few words bring such clarity. :)
I believe this is the breakdown on the change. I couldn't find anything on the web that would validate them all 100% but for the most part, I think it's right.

Hanna Barbera Carousel - to - Nick-O-Round

Also, I submitted two of the newer rides that we didn't have listed. Phantom Flyers and Plankton's Plunge that were built in 2006. One these get updated. I'll try to add some descriptions when I get a chance to help with this kind of stuff in the future. Hope this helps! :)
