THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS. SO MUCH GOING ON, WE’RE GOING TO START WITH THIS A DECADES OLD DEATH FOR FAMILIES THROUGHOUT OUR AREA. HERE IN GREATER CINCINNATI. NOW, JUST DAYS AWAY FROM GOING AWAY AND FADING INTO THE SUNSET. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT SIX. I’M MIKE DARDIS AND I’M ASHLEY KIRKLEN CONEY ISLAND AND ITS ICONIC SUNLITE POOL WILL CLOSE AT THE END OF THE MONTH. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S TODD -- IS LIVE WITH WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE POPULAR SUMMERTIME PARK. TODD. YEAH, ASHLEY AND MIKE MOVING FROM A MASSIVE SWIMMING POOL BELOVED BY COUNTLESS FAMILIES TO A HIGH FIDELITY CONCERT STAGE DESIGNED TO ATTRACT MUSIC’S BIGGEST ACTS. THAT’S WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE PROPERTY THAT MAKES UP CONEY ISLAND. WE’VE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY FROM CONEY ISLAND IN WHAT MANY PEOPLE WILL CONSIDER A STUNNING ANNOUNCEMENT. MUSIC AND EVENT MANAGEMENT INC., OR MMI FOR SHORT, SAID TODAY IT PLANS TO TURN CONEY ISLAND INTO A STATE OF THE ART MUSIC VENUE IN A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS. THESE RENDERINGS REVEAL WHAT THE VENUE MAY LOOK LIKE, SO WE HOPE TO AND PLAN TO BUILD A $118 MILLION STATE OF THE ART MUSIC, ENTERTAINMENT VENUE THAT WILL GIVE US AN ENTERTAINMENT CAMPUS LIKE NONE OTHER THAT WE KNOW OF IN THE IN THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW. IT WILL ALLOW US TO UTILIZE RIVERBEND MUSIC CENTER, WHERE IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. PNC PAVILION, AS WELL AS AN ADDITION TO THE NEW VENUE, WILL BE ABLE TO DO BIGGER AND BETTER EVENTS LIKE FESTIVALS DOWN THE ROAD. ROSEMARIE MOEHRING IS VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING FOR MMI, WHICH RUNS RIVERBEND AND PNC PAVILION. BOTH ARE MUSIC VENUES NEXT TO CONEY. QUITE OFTEN IN FESTIVALS ARE DONE IN LIKE FIELDS IN JUST LIKE IN AREAS WITHOUT ANY PERMANENT STRUCTURES. WE WILL BE UNIQUE. IN THE SENSE THAT WE WILL HAVE THREE PERMANENT STAGES. WE ALREADY HAVE INFRASTRUCTURES FOR CONCESSIONS AND BATHROOMS AND EVERYTHING. A LOT OF PARKING AND SO I THINK THAT’S GOING TO ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE HERE COMPARED TO MAYBE SOME OTHER PLACES. MOEHRIG KNOWS TODAY’S NEWS WILL HIT SOME FAMILIES HARD, BUT SHE HOPES THE EFFORT TO ELEVATE CINCINNATI’S MUSIC SCENE WILL LESSEN THE BLOW. WE APPRECIATE THE HISTORY THAT CONEY ISLAND HAS HAD, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO, TO, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD AND AND JUST CREATING A NEW ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE WHERE PEOPLE WILL CREATE MORE MEMORIES AND FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO COME. NOW, THE NEW VENUE, WHICH IS YET TO BE NAMED, IS EXPECTED TO OPEN IN THE SPRING OF 2026. I ASKED MORING IF THERE MIGHT BE OPTIONS FOR ON SITE CAMPING, FOR EXAMPLE, SHE SAID IT’S TOO EARLY IN THE PROCESS TO GET INTO THOSE KINDS OF SPECIFICS FOR NOW. REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT HERE IN ANDERSON TOWNSHIP. TODD -- WLWT NEWS FIVE. TODD, WHEN WILL CONEY ISLAND CLOSE ITS DOORS FOR GOOD AND ALSO, WHAT CAN FAMILIES WHO HAVE ALREADY PREPARED FOR THE 2024 SEASON IN THEIR PASSES EXPECT? YEAH, YOU KNOW, ASHLEY, LOOK FOR SOME SENTIMENTAL DAYS BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THIS MONTH. CONEY, LAST DAY IS GOING TO BE THE LAST DAY OF DECEMBER WHEN THE PARK’S LIGHTS OF NIGHTS OF LIGHTS HOLIDAY DISPLAY COMES TO AN END. PARK OFFICIALS, WITH REGARD TO THE SEASON PASS HOLDERS FOR NEXT YEAR, PARK OFFICIALS SAY EVERYONE WHO HAS ALREADY BOUGHT ONE WILL RECEIVE A FUL
