[Kings Island 2019 Discussion]

Can't wait for my visits this year. Last year gave me some great memories at the park, and I'm hoping this year will do the same.

I think it's funny how the GP think AE is Son of Beast when they are on the Eiffel Tower. I'm pretty sure I hear that every time I'm up there. 

Yeah, for some reason or another, lots of people still don’t know that Son of Beast was ever removed. Heck, my dad still doesn’t know it’s gone, and he loves coasters as much as I do!

[Favorite coaster at ki?]

Racer for me!

Your tattoo is lovely! I'm glad you're not afraid to express yourself. You're a lot braver than I am!

It's called stock photos. Corporate websites use them. 

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Let's just say I'm not the sharpest fork in the drawer!

I was looking at images on the official KI website when I noticed something a little.. Strange on the image used for Backlot Stunt Coaster.

Look closely at the front of the carts in the image below.

That's right. The logo on the cart clearly reads "Kings Dominion", and you can definitely see the logo for another KD ride in the background.

Don't believe me? See for yourself!: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/rides/backlot-stunt-coaster

Looks like an admin for the site must've gotten the images for KI and KD mixed up. Oh well, they are very similar!

[Favorite food and restraunts at Kings Island]

Only places I've eaten at in-park are the Red's Hall of Fame Grill (which is definitely worth the scary-long wait), and that one restaurant that I can't remember the name of for the life of me that has the huge stage inside of it, not to mention a band was currently playing on the stage.

Nothing like your first concert being witnessed by accident at KI!

[Instrumental music returns to International Street]

Is it bad that I actually said "oh heck yes" to myself when I saw this topic?

I don't know why, but whenever I hear a song at Kings Island, I will ALWAYS associate that song with Kings Island. And seeing as how I've been waiting for the return of this atmospheric orchestra, I certainly can't wait for my visit at the beginning of June.

[What do you like the Most about KI?]

I know I might sound crazy, but I don't know if I can even put into words what I love the best about the park. Is it the memories I have there? The people I go there with? The overall atmosphere? The rides? The arcades? Soak City? Yes. ALL of those reasons. I have such an emotional bond to Kings Island, that if I were to honestly describe every single thing about the park that has made my life worth living, I would sound like an obsessive maniac. 

To put it in short, I go into the park feeling like a loser, and come out feeling like a better person.

[Least Scary Rides]

Well, since we've already discussed what we think the most scary rides are, let's think about the opposite for a second.

What do you think is the LEAST scary ride at Kings Island?

[Party in the Park Length?]

About 20-30 minutes with a 10 minute meet and greet after

Okay, thanks!

[Party in the Park Length?]

I know this is kind of a stupid question, but does anyone have any clue on how long the Peanuts Party in the Park show lasts?

[Guests Say The Darnest Things]

I once heard someone ask a staff member "Why are there two Charlie Browns over there?" while pointing at the Charlie Brown and Linus characters.
