So, What's Gonna Happen to Old KCI?
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the building in the middle of Kansas City. Old KCI. That horseshoe-shaped relic of the 70s that somehow managed to confuse more passengers than a TSA agent on a power trip. Now that the shiny new terminal is all up and running, the big question is: what’s going to happen to our beloved (or loathed) old airport?
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.

Demolition Derby
The short answer is: it’s getting demolished. But this isn’t just any demolition. This is a spectacle we’re talking about. Imagine hundreds of tons of concrete and steel being reduced to rubble, accompanied by a soundtrack of explosions and the cheers of demolition enthusiasts. It’s basically a real-life action movie, minus the Vin Diesel.
A New Chapter for Kansas City
Once the dust settles (literally), the city has some big plans for the land. We're talking about turning this aviation graveyard into a thriving hub of activity. There’s talk of parks, office spaces, hotels, maybe even a theme park dedicated to the history of aviation. Or, hear me out, a giant slide that goes from the highest point of the old terminal all the way to the ground. Now that would be something.

A Bittersweet Farewell
While the old KCI might have been a pain to navigate, it was also a part of Kansas City’s history. So, let’s take a moment to appreciate the good times. Remember those questionable food options? Or the art installations that were so abstract, they made modern art look like a kid's finger painting? Let’s cherish those memories, folks. And maybe, just maybe, someone will save one of those iconic moving walkways as a piece of art.
How to...
- How to say goodbye to old KCI: With a mix of relief and nostalgia.
- How to prepare for the demolition: Stock up on earplugs and sunglasses.
- How to get excited about the future: Imagine all the possibilities for the land.
- How to avoid getting hit by falling debris: Stay far, far away.
- How to make peace with the loss of the moving walkways: Embrace walking. Or rollerblading.
