The park really hasn’t been trying to hard to take my money lately on their site over the last few months…they really haven’t added much. I have been patiently waiting for them to add their new line of stocking caps that someone posted over on FB weeks ago…and yesterday they finally did! I love things like these that are park/ride specific. I checked the site in the morning and these weren’t up…and then a couple of hours later…and then they were…unfortunately The Beast with the pompom was already sold out! They are $24.99 each.

…and also to see the new AE one.
I wonder why they felt a need to have a second Adventure Express poster? I think the first one was much nicer.

So I hope everyone bought their Vortex models this year, because I bought the last one last night.
I had been putting off buying The Vortex set, but once you posted that you purchased the last one I checked the KIGear site and found that they still offered them and quickly got one ordered…which arrived today…I am puzzled though…this set is advertised to be limited to only 250.
Here is a photo of the box from the KIGear site:
(Notice the Limited Edition numbering.)
Here is the box that I received:
(Notice no number.) So, I am puzzled, did they sell all of the original “limited” 250 sets and now are just making more?

^ At least it’s still 12…they haven’t cut any days out of IT yet.

My wife and I have ironically been looking at new Magic Band +’s this week for our trip in January.
We purchased the Magic Band+’s for our trip in January earlier this year…unless they have perfected them since then they weren’t worth the extra money…you had to struggle BIG TIME to get them to work with the statues…and even when you got it to work the effect really wasn’t that much. We were disappointed after spending the extra money.

So you think season pass sales are down compared to prior years?
My family have all had season passes since 2002...but this year I am the only one who renewed mine. There were various reasons...but It seemed like the major one was that they have been unhappy with the quality of Halloween Haunt, they did not mind that it has become more family friendly...just that it's pretty much the same haunts year after year after year, and now less of them...and then there's the Winterfest decorations being put up while it is still going on. So, that is 5 less passes that the park will be getting next year...which does make me sad...but I don't disagree with their decision.

Thoughts on the results?
That all of the “I can’t wait, bring it on” & the “It’s fine” votes are from Six Flags fans.

There's just no universe where such a lawsuit would not be laughed out of court…
Why argue with someone who now claims to have such a vast knowledge?!
(DispatchMaster…nothing personal, the comment just struck me as funny.)

These are finally up on the site…now hopefully they will add the “You must be this tall” pin soon.

An idea I have that wouldn’t take much effort to accomplish but could get the park some more attention: adding titles to their rides.

Because complaining, and creating that narrative with Kings Island on KIC has no repercussions for him.
It is his opinion, which he is entitled too just like you.
As for where I stand , I have no horse in this race…I have never really known Don…but it does strike me as being a huge coincidence that his tombstone is damaged. Why wouldn’t it have been repaired before it was put out? (vinyl letters aren’t that expensive.) In my opinion…and we know what that’s worth…if it was already damaged and was still put out like this, it shows little respect for a man who did so much for the park.
I am curious, are there any other tombstones that are this damaged?

If it was intentional…and it looks like it was, that is both childish & petty. That is worse than just eliminating his tombstone. I am disappointed in the park.

That’s not always the case. I’ve seen actors avoid certain groups altogether because one of the people was wearing a necklace.
But once again, how does that affect you? Logically those four other non-wearing No Boo people are with the person wearing it…and if they don’t mind, why should you?

In my opinion the roaming scareactors are one of the best things about Haunt. Not only do they add to the Halloween feel, they are great photo ops…plus they give everyone an easy chance to (possibly) be scared without waiting 2 hours on a Saturday night for one of the haunts!
As for the No Boo necklaces…why are no many people upset with these? It’s not like it affects anyone other than the person wearing it?!-

I was hoping that once the KIGear site came back up from maintenance that there would be some new stuff up…like the pins I have been waiting for….there was nothing new when the site came back up….but now they have added two new items, gift cards!
If anyone from the site is possibly reading this, here’s a tip… maybe I’d buy a gift card if you would put some new stuff on the site that I wanted to buy! -

Last year my wallet couldn’t keep up with everything that was being listed on the KIGear site…it seemed like they were listing things twice a week, now it’s about once every week and a half or more. I am still waiting on those 2 pins that I have been looking for….and it has now been over 2 weeks since I emailed them specifically asking for them to be listed.
I guess they aren’t hurting for money this year.

How much revenue will Holiday World realize as a result of a few minutes of banter on CBS Orlando?
I once heard banter about Universal Studios on TV here in Illinois and drove to Orlando to see it.

Since my last post the KIGear site has added The Bat pin and all 3 sets of the Phantom Theater pins…unfortunately they still haven’t gotten to the “You must be this tall..” pin or the Adventure Port pin set…which of course are the ones that I really want.
I contacted them before they even listed The Bat pin specifically asking them to stock those…but it looked like a generic response of “they will be stocking new items in the future” type of a reply…so I still have my fingers crossed.

Revenue is probably down just because I haven’t bought nearly as much merchandise as I “had” to do last year for the 50th Anniversary.

This thread is like a car wreck that I just can’t seem to help myself from looking at!
My earlier post with the man digging a hole was just my (completely neutral) observation that everyone just seems to be digging a hole deeper and deeper into a subject that obviously no one can win…everyone’s minds are already made up one way or another and there doesn’t appear to be a way for anyone to sway them one way or another, yet they keep trying…that’s why I find this thread both amusing…and sad.About the only good thing I can say about this thread is that I am glad that KICentral still exists where we could even have a conversation like this.

1972 Footage
in Kings Island
Posted
Really nice stuff in there! I've never seen the canoes in action...it looked like a total free-for-all...I wonder if it was timed?
