I know why I like the sound of Diamondback exiting the station so much. It sounds like clothes in a dryer with a button clanking rhythmically on the drum. I have a load going now and it sounds just like it. Neat huh?

That is hilarious. Ever get someone who speaks it too?

Hello again everyone!
I know this isn't strictly related to Kings Island but I wanted to share it anyway. Cedar Fair just made a bit of a partnership with Planet Coaster and they made a model of Cedar Points upcoming Steel Vengeance roller coaster. Check it out on YouTube of you're interested. I am hoping they continue and maybe add some things from Kings Island in the future. I don't think they will just do this one thing and stop. Planet Coaster has a very Cedar Fair feel to it.
I apologize if this is too off topic.

Thank you for the replies.
He specifically said it was from Kings Island. And I haven't been getting any marketing calls other than this one time. I admit I did not read the rules so that's on me. Live and (sometimes) learn!

I agree with you completely lifetimecoaster. There is no excuse. It's too easy too look up information and educate yourself. It doesn't seem to be normal behavior though. That says a lot about us.

During my last visit I filled out one of those cards where you win some four wheeled vehicle. I did it jokingly as I have never won anything in my life. I didn't win it. But I did get a call saying I won a cruise. It was a live person who called and it was a local phone number to me (Indiana) which I thought was odd for a thing I tried to win in Ohio. It sounded legit until he asked my FICO score. I don't know what mine is but I knew it was lower than the requirement for the cruise. So I am pretty sure it's a scam or they used my information to try and get a sale of some sort.
I just wanted to see if any one else has had this happen to them. If I really did win something great (well not really). If it is a scam or aggressive sales tactic I would warn everyone to avoid putting their information in these things. Thanks!

I like to clap my hand in time with the clicks as we exit the station.
Maybe we will get lucky and a staff member will ask a maintenance person about this.

I went to the Dino area to kill time until the sun went down for night rides. After a full day of walking I thought it would be a nice break. I was wrong. It's a neat place. Definitely check it out if you have a gold pass. I wouldn't pay extra for it. It takes thirty to fifty minutes to walk through depending on the how fast you walk and how many times you stop to fiddle with the animatronics. Most didn't seem to work but the theming and larger dinosaurs are awesome.
The gift shop has some really cool stuff.
This would be a great area for a car ride to go through.
It also gives a different view of The Racer.

I did some googling and there is a thread on coaster buzz that has some interesting ideas about that noise.

It might be the same noise only faster. I've looked at DB a lot and don't see anything at the bottom of the lift hill that looks like it should make that noise.
I LOVE the rhythmic clicks as DB leaves the station.

I too have seen different ride ops doing different things with the Fastlane people. I prefer they just let them in. That way there isn't a big line that gets a whole train. That said if there are a ton of FL people I'm not sure what the right answer would be. That's got to be a tough thing to balance.
Thanks for the info about other parks. I think I still would prefer KI system. Waiting is waiting and I'd rather just get on the ride.
Another question about the other systems.. If you get in the virtual queue is there a time limit or can you bonk off and just skip the line when you please?
Nice googling for those patents!
On Mystic Timbers I love that they assign rows. I wish they did that on more rides. I hate seeing a bunch of empty seats when they could fill them up. Especially on Banshee. One person and three empty seats with a twenty minute line? I've also have had great success requesting a seat. Maybe I wait a few cycles and that's OK. I agree it depends on who is running things.
Sorry this post is jumping around. Overall I think KI does a great job and most of what I see that causes issues are other guests.

Ah I see. Thank you. I don't think that's abuse though. They paid for that luxury and deserve to do it. You can't marathon it a ride of you have to wait thirty minutes between rides. I do agree a large group with them does add up.
Also I shudder when I see a large group or family all with them. All I think about is how that cost more than my first car.

Im not seeing what's wrong with the current system. I don't know how you can abuse the Fast pass. You buy it and it's good for a day. Unlimited.
It's great for when you don't live next door to KI and you maybe want to ride something repeatedly. I have to plan my trips a month out and only get to do so once a month. So if it rains or it's busy I don't get to ride at much or at all. It's not worth it to drive for a few hours to spend most of your day in a line. I can go to Walmart for that. Grab a fast pass and you're good to go with a great ride filled day.
Full disclosure. I have never been to another park as an adult so I've only read about other systems. But the idea of checking in and going to wait somewhere else for your turn doesn't sound too great. Apologies for ignorance. I'm just trying to understand.

^well the message immediately before going into the shed is "go in the shed, go in the shed, go in the shed", so there's that...
Well great. Now I don't know what to do.

I totally agree. I hated it for the first ten rides or so. Now I love it!

I though the hype for the shed was way overplayed. But it was a nice misdirect since the coaster itself is amazing.

I have to agree with this kid. Don't enter the shed? I'm locked in a ride that is always going to go in the shed.

I buy Fastlane when it gets too busy and I have the extra money. I love the way it is now and don't think I would like it any other way. It just doesn't make sense to spend extra money for anything other than a front of the line perk.

Does anyone know how to contact the person who made that song? I want to have a shirt made of it.

Ever since I spent the extra ten dollars for it I do it every time now. Well worth it.

Gold Pass Renewal
in Kings Island

As far as I can tell KI has on their web page that they are doing Dollar Days this year too.
Dollar days have been my worst times to KI.
