Just got an email from Coney. Opening is delayed of course and all passes are valid through end of 2021 season also.
Kinda bummed but happy they expanding passes to 2021 season also.

The problem is the passes for Coney Island are $129.00. More expensive than Kings Island and being within less than an hour of each other there isn't much to draw me there.
My wife and I discuss this every year when it comes to passes for our family. Kings Islands is definitely the better deal, but as far as location (we are in Amelia) and the fact that my wife just wants to lay in the pool on a raft or hang out in the deep end of the pool, we ultimately choose Coney because there is no place for my wife to relax at KI in a pool.
-
Thats good to know. One of my favorite things about Coney is going there and just relaxing in the deep end and people watching. (not trying to be creepy lol)
-
Not to happy about this. I love the deep end of the pool to float, tread water and relax and get away from all the other people in the pool.

The workers will have a nice pleasant day today to work and get some stuff done.

According to this thread from awhile ago, there are no such bans on flying over or around Kings Island, lol, funny thing is that WCPO is the reason for that thread also!

Wish I could help you out there. It's pretty well known around Cincinnati that Larosas always taste better at Kings Island or at local festivals.
Wife and I found out that if you order from Larosas and get it "well done" it taste nearly identical from Kings Island

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet: the removal of Thunder Alley was disappointing for me (and probably no one else). As far as I know it was the last gas-powered go-kart attraction in the Cincinnati area after Eastgate Adventures closed several years ago.
Full Throttle is still open out in the Springdale area

WOW WOW WOW, look at that thing. Totally dwarfs Racer! Massive is all I have to say

Pictures don't do this thing justice. I can't wait to see it in person and how massive it is

I imagine that if they are wanting to do a big media event for the topping off they will wait till tomorrow or Thursday for that since most news outlets will be busy with election coverage today and results tomorrow.

What I'm wondering is if with the 85 degree drop, will it make the drop feel shorter or will you not notice a difference between the length of this and some of the other giga drops that are 300 feet.
All I know is that when cresting the hill and looking almost straight down, I will be having an "OH $h!t" moment!!!!

Anyone else wish they did a horror makeup demonstration during Tween? Kids are curious things and being able to see how it's done could inspire the next gen of artists.
That would be awesome to watch. It's amazing how they transform some of these people into something totally different.
On another note, there are tons of Youtube videos on special effects makeup and how some of the simplest house hold items can be used to create some crazy effects

I can quite literally remember standing in front of The Vortex future site staring into the abyss of trees and weeds where they'd placed a plaque announcing Vortex. Huge drop "at the time" and six inversions. 1986...I was 11. Makes me wonder what kids are looking up at Orion being built right now in awe...and who might also see it pass after riding it with their children 30+ years from now. I don't know what kind of ride 2052 will bring, but I bet it'll be crazy!
Ditto, I was around the same age when I took my first ride. I remember standing in line and kept thinking to myself, "WTF am I getting ready to get myself into and getting ready to ride!!" I had very sweaty palms that time

Where does it say O'Rourke constructs things...all of the above items are simply different marketing ways to present demolition in some form or fashion...
Skyhigh's own webpage - "we have been erecting steel since 1982"...nowhere does it say they dismantle....and they go further to state "ready and willing to travel to meet your coaster installation needs". Key word is installation. If they did dismantle they would state that or simply say coaster needs...
You are right though, either could decide to expand into the other market at any time if work is light in their niche, so do you have insider information to support your claim?
It is on Skyhighs website. Under projects they state that they dismantle coasters, specifically King Chaos

2022 Kings Island Season Passes Now On Sale
in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Posted
We are buying Kings Island passes this year instead of Coney passes. More value for us and more stuff to do at a cheaper price. We went ahead and got Platinum passes so that we can make a few long weekend trips up to Cedar Point!
One question, do I have to print out the passes for the first time to take to park, or can I bring up the qr code on my phone from the receipt they sent me to get in the park?
