    Orlando-Tampa area?

    Puh-leeze.

    That's like saying the Cincinnati-Portsmouth area...

    Even in Orlando the Disney draw is not universal, Harry.

    Not quite as a person who has lived in Orlando and Cincinnati and driven to Tampa and Portsmouth multiple times. Orlando to Tampa is about one less excruciating hour of drive. Cincy to Portsmouth is 2 hours of boring.

    Hey, it may not be for you, but for me it is. If you go to Florida, and if you want to go to Orlando and the beach, usually one would go to Tampa. If one goes to Tampa and wants to go to a theme park, forget BGA, go to WDW. Friends, relatives, even fellow enthusiasts do it. Florida is known usually for oranges, everglades, beaches and Disney.

    I prefer the Atlantic beaches over the Tampa beaches. Daytona and Cocoa Beach are great.

    No Pet Day Care in 2015?

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    I think this is a great thing. I remember sweeping outside front gate and hearing all those dogs bark and imagining them freaking out every time Invertigo cycles. I remember feeling bad for the dogs and wished that the pet care center would be moved to somewhere less noisy.

    To add what someone else mentioned my dog was freaked out a lot by Invertigo. Location was an issue but I do wish they kept it.

    As a Kentucky resident and a dog owner who has bad separation anxiety it will be harder to visit this year. Throw on top now they want to charge a toll for me to get to Ohio.

    I'm starting to think it may be a good thing I haven't renewed my passes.

    Working at Kings Island

    Try looking into Fairfield.

    Fairfield to Kings Island is a pretty lengthy drive for a seasonal job. I wouldn't recommend it, honestly. I drive from Fairfield to Loveland every day (which is a slightly shorter distance even) and the commute has been irritating enough to prompt me to look for places to live that are closer. And that's for my full-time career. I personally could never justify that commute for a seasonal job. Of course, I'm not you, and if it's something you really want to do, Fairfield is a great place to live. It's where I've lived my whole life (besides the four years I spent in New Concord, Ohio, the happiest place on the planet) and I think I turned out pretty good.

    Ultimately, what I think it comes down to is, are you looking to work at Kings Island for the income or for the experience? Because if it's the former, then it would be difficult for me to recommend over working at Cedar Point, where they have housing on-site for out of town employees. If it is the latter that makes you want to work at KI, though, my personal recommendation would be to see if you can get a couple other people interested so you can work down here together and split rent.

    I had no problem with it. Took less than a tank a week. A lot better than I'm doing now.
