KI FANATIC 37

I saw this posted elsewhere. So sad...so sad. I saw his Facebook post that he posted before this that makes the situation even more sad. Praying for everyone involved.

I drive 2 hours to Kings Island when I go, maybe you can say I do not plan, but I do not bring extra insulin pump supplies or insulin. I have been going to Kings Island with diabetes since 2010. I have never brought extra supplies, glucose tabs, or anything. My sugar has gotten low multiple times. During those instances, I simply walk up and get a Coke. Easy peasy. Back to the fun. No issue. I will say if someone wants to bring extra pump/insulin/diabetes supplies, they should be able to. But there is NO reason anyone needs more the one additional infusion site to Kings Island. That has to be miserable to carry around right? If I came to Kings Island with all the supplies I needed and glucose tabs to replace everything, I could fit it in the bag that they allow entry with.

If this did in fact happen, that person should have denied that request. I'm no Karen, but I would have just laughed in their face to that answer.

Agreed. Ive had type 1 diabetes for 13 years now. Every Kings Island trip, all I have is my pump in my pocket. You could never tell I was diabetic. That being said, if you have a medical bag, it most certainly will be allowed. No ifs and or buts they have to allow that. Some people like to be a little extra and pack a lot extra for their medical supplies. Is it needed? probably not. Should it/is it allowed in the park? 1000%

This just keeps getting more sad

"The female told officers she had shorts on under her dress and dropped her cigarette pack out of them. She said she bent over to pick them up and her friend helped her." I feel like you could have come up with a better excuse

I also just really doubt we will see a coaster for a few years. Kings Island is normally on the 3-5 year cycle (2009,2014,2017,2020) for new coasters. I just keep thinking back to how much revenue theey had to lose in 2020 and 2021. I bet the ROI for Orion was so bad due to the awful timing of its opening and COVID. All things considered, given how bad the past 24 months had to be for Kings Island, I thought the park was in great shape this year when I returned. I was so pleased. I would really be surprised if we go anything "big" before 2025. This is all just my novice opinion. You all are all much more in tune with the park than myself.

^Totally agree. I was thinking this last time I was at the park. I enjoy Orion's drop a lot more, but I like the rest of Diamondback's layout compared to Orion. I find myself riding Orion just for that first drop. I love the whole two and a half minutes of Diamondback.

Part of me likes Diamondback more than Orion. Diamondback's airtime is hard to beat.

^I believe that is the Kings Island app that shows you wait times only when you are in the park. It has not been too accurate for me, but I have a small sample size.

Looks very nice and would make that area look great. I doubt they would do this though because I think part of the reason they have these concerts is to bring people into the park. Drives more money spent in the park. Still, really cool concept!

What a blast from the past lol

Crowds were light today thanks to heat. Everything was a walk on. This was my second visit this year, and this year is my first time back in the park since 2015. The park looks amazing! I was very impressed. I thought Beast felt great, MT was a surprise for me! I really really enjoyed that ride, and I did not think I would. I also really enjoyed Orion. I still like Fury 325 more, but I think Orion is a great addition to the park and will bring me back. Great job Kings Island!

Great idea! Got it in 4!

I couldnt agree more with this. I think this would be great for the park and The Beast. Do I think it will happen...probably not.
