Given the recent developments in what the “All Park Passport” really means, we have learned some very valuable lessons. Tower Topics may be a good place to share our thoughts on that.

I would have gone, but I guess you snooze you loose. I don't think the price was unreasonable, given the situation.

It almost certainly has. In fact, I'd be willing to go as far as saying that there have been several test cycles. It won't be long until the associates are there for training, and the rides need to be ready for that.

Here is a tour that KD posted of their VIP lounge on Facebook. Posted without comment. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/BUasS7YBcZ3jZKf5/?mibextid=WC7FNe

If you’ve ever needed a testament to not buy your pass in the fall and wait until you see the product you’re actually getting, here you go.

I was there a few days before Flower and Garden started, but they had most of the decorations out, including many of the topiaries. I'm trying to decide if they're really so good that they're unbelievable, or they're simply not real. I honestly can't tell.

All benefits are park-specific? Doesn't sound like it to me. Unfortunately, this bait-and-switch is as adorable as it is predictable.

We didn’t forget about you, Gold pass holders!

“An All Park Passport is exactly like a Platinum pass.” Nope.

The monthly items were certainly a plus. But, as you may recall, they weren’t included in the Dining Plan the first few months, presumably because enough people complained.

“Ever” is a very long time.

It’s quite telling about how this year will go based on the fact that the other parks are showing off their lavish dishes that are new for 2024 and KI booked a photo shoot for their pizza and fries.

Oh they find a way. But seriously, I’m not saying it’ll make the bad crowd worse. I’m saying it could make a good crowd bad in addition to the bad crowd.

I believe that you cannot use them in the arcades too. If anyone knows differently, please fact check me.

Here is a good one too!

Enjoy your shelter between the dumpster and the restroom, Kings Island Prestige Pass holders.

Correct, and with the whole industry on edge about fights and misbehavior in the parks, I’m not sure how wise of a move it is to continue to introduce such a thing. But let’s not kid ourselves - this thing will be seldom open.

You also have to remember, they removed two restaurants that were on the Dining Plan for two bars that aren't. That's almost certainly by design.

Plus your KK pass is worth more than ever now, contrasting another pass which is diminishing.

I’ve seen a fair amount of that too.

No, it won’t make a difference; however, I’m willing to say that every top spender that gets fed up and leaves is replaced with the no-money-spending, payment plan, gets-in-fights type.

You’ll notice that you are valued at Dollywood. Their welcoming attitude and appreciation for its guests is as adorable as it is predictable.

Just Sunday? That’s easy.

You are correct. Same with passes in general. “We can do anything we want and they’ll still come.” Won’t change until they don’t come.

You know, I can forgive stories of “my pass didn’t work” or “I had trouble with my meal plan.” That comes with the territory. It’s the associates telling people incorrect information that concerned me. Between that, and the less-than-ethical business practices that we’ve seen out of the company in the past year or so that makes me and others hesitant to purchase prepaid plans. I’m not sure if that will get any better anytime soon.
