A 30 minute commute isn't all that bad. When I worked at KI I lived a couple miles down the road from Kenwood so I was like 20-30 minutes away. Anyway, I was a games supervisor so I can't answer all of your questions (but I totally recommend games haha)
1.) It's fantastic. They were a little strict on rules, but they have to be. We did so many after work activities and it was great.
2.) You can be 15 and work there! Though there are a lot of hours you can't work due to labor laws.
3.)N/A
4.) When I worked there as an associate I believe I was paid a little more than minimum wage but they now pay even more!
5.) I can't completely answer your question but I can say that there are rude nights where they have a select few rides open for employees after hours! Big Bash is the best.
6.) Absolutley. KI was by far my favorite job ever and you make everlasting friendships!

That turn looks interesting though. It's a tight one.
Yep....instead of "what's in the shed" I want to know how the train will make a 90 degree turn between the shed and station.
Probably the same way it makes it out of the station. A slight change in elevation and gravity.
Take a look at the plans again. The building are at a perfect 90° angle, the track isn't.

Does Cedar Point offer season passes or do we have to get platinum next year?
They offer season passes. Please direct yourself to PointBuzz as well.

There is no way every single one of these clues will make perfect sense once they announce the name. They are too random. I think they are stretching on some of the clues.
Look at Banshee for example; Scarecrows, owls, etc. Diamondback as well, with all the wild western themed things and how we thought it was going to be "Mustang."
I say very few of these teases will mean anything when it's announced in 25 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES!!!!

Hey guys. I was around while Banshee was being constructed. Ever since I've just been lurking and have shared a couple videos with the KIC Twitter. Anyway, the table he was referring to was a blueprint table. Here's a photo of them at it. Sorry for the poor quality/shot.It must have gotten lost in a flood of nonsense. A metal table Greg Scheid tweeted a pic of, that turned out to have a tall rail attached to it. If you go back through the thread you'll eventually see the discussion.

Games take skill.
Every game at Kings Island is winnable. They just take skill.
Few games at Kings Island are chance. Like Ring Toss and Goblet Toss. Most games (like Peach Basket and Bank-A-Ball) take skill.
It angers me to see videos like the one posted here because it basically says they're impossible when they're not.

-
Most of the arcade games were moved to the other Coney Mall arcade.
-
The arcade across from "Goblet Toss" and beside "Zephyr" has been closed now for a few days.
-
Just asked the woman working the photos what the new screens were for:
"Video. They should be on sale tomorrow."

The worlds first and only inverted wooden coaster: The Son of Banshee and Beast.
This is a joke.

Not sure if this was asked or answered: How would they know if I'm a dad or not? What if my child isn't with me?
-
Fence looks like it can be removed though, probably just before Haunt. I think they fenced Crypt off last summer did they not?
Yes, but not a screwed in fence.
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned on this forum yet or not. I know it's been brought to everyone's attention that The Crypts building is no longer on the map, but has anyone noticed the new fence blocking the entrance to the building? It's doesn't seem to be a temporary gate either, seeing as how it's not only screwed into the fence but the sidewalk as well.
-
The ride op said they have to run a certain number of tests today before they can open and they're still in the low numbers. But they should open today, weather permitting.

They should theme it around The Peanuts' seasons/holidays. Kind of like Holiday Horror.

The "Lasso"
in Kings Island
Posted
I just found out that Intamin created my loop a year ago. I wish my original image was still attached from 2013. But the description I had posted, matches these concept images that Intamin had shared.
I can’t wait for it to be real, since I’ve imagined this since I was a child, and I’m now 31. haha
I’ll be there, wherever it first goes, on opening day.
