  1. I think it's a personal preference. I'm often a single rider and I don't feel bad anymore about picking a particular row or seat. Banshee is great as you typically get an outside seat - I just like to ask first so I don't get sandwiched between two strangers. I will pick the even numbered rows on Diamondback so I can ride with someone or someone can ride with me. I just ask the person first before assuming - some folks would prefer to ride alone. I've also had parents ask to have their child ride with me while they are riding with a another child in the next row - apparently I'm way more approachable to children than adults! So...well, really, lots of options. Unless there is appropriate etiquette and I break every.single.rule. I am particularly a single rider during most of my visits to Kings Island. Lately on Diamondback I've been able to choose where I want to sit. Usually I don't ask anyone to ride with me, but if another single rider wants to join me, then by all means, the more the merrier. As a single rider on Banshee, rarely have I been able to choose my poison. But either way I'll be paired up with three other strangers making it very awkward during the ride.My opinion on this "Power Hour" thing. After skimming through this thread, it seems that people are very unhappy. I think that this is very unnecessary. This is making guests feel very uncomfortable and crews are very disrespectful and rude. I've haven't been to the park this year during a "Power Hour" so I have no experience. If you're trying to reach a certain capacity by the end of the day, just let the guests come by and go at their own pace.
  2. Happy Friday!! Daily operation begins today!!
  3. If the baseball team is knocked out of regionals, then I will do my best to be there. Not confirming yet. Edit: Us seniors are taking exams this week which means that I will be dismissed from school early. I only take one exam that day and then I have graduation practice. Might leave at like 10:00 and if I feel up to it, I may make the trip down to the park.
  4. Yes, I realize I'm late on this but here's my Trip Report from Opening Day! I get to the park around 10:30 and get my Gold Pass processed. I enter the park around 10:45 and purchase Fast Lane. Before I take a ride on anything I decided to take a stroll around the park and just let it sink in that I'm finally back at Kings Island! So after my stroll I looked to take my first ride of 2015 on Diamondback, however, it was closed for the time being. So my first ride of 2015 was The Beast. After that I go back to Diamondback and it has opened back up. I get at least 2 rides on there before I move on to Banshee. After two more rides on Banshee, it was time to fill up my tummy! I go to Chicken Shack, worst service ever! Waited at least 30 minutes before I paid for my food. After Chicken Shack I take another stroll to let the food digest before going on another ride. So I walk to Planet Snoopy to ride the new Woodstock Gliders. Very fun as usual! Now I felt like it was time for a few more rides on Diamondback. Rode it at least 4 more times throughout the day. Now I head for BLSC. Always a fun ride. I contemplated about riding it twice but I thought otherwise because I had to leave soon. So for my final rides of the day were Banshee. Rode in row 8 both times and as usual, had a blast! Before I left I had to find one of my old co workers. It was good to talk to her again. Unfortunately, the talk didn't last very long because she had to go back to work and I had to leave for my baseball game. We ended up winning that game and extended our win streak to 6 games. Overall, I had a great day at KI and it couldn't end any better than a victory on our home turf! Some pics I took.

  6. I honestly really like that! It gives a whole new experience than when it first opened. Sure all that fog and lights are cool, but no fog and less lights are cool too.
  7. I too am looking for all the Gold Pass benefits, but from mobile. It takes me to the mobile site.
  8. Get out the cake and balloons!! Let's wish Kings Island a Happy 43rd Birthday!! https://twitter.com/kingsislandpr/status/593418561642696704
  9. Wait for it... wait for it... SOMEONE DOES!!! Banshee, who just HAD to. [emoji41][emoji48]
  10. I took a random photo of Invertigo while in line for processing. Didn't realize it until a few minutes ago. I think this could be the cable that everyone is talking about.
  11. I also thought that food service was terrible too. Waited almost 30 minutes at Chicken Shack. Also waited about 10 minutes at Ice Scream Zone to refill my souvenir cup.
  12. Today was probably one of the best Opening Days's I've ever been to! Got Fast Lane Plus, saw a few former coworkers and had a lot of FUN!
  13. Diamondback is temporarily closed.
  14. TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Today is OPENING DAY at Kings Island!! Let the FUN begin!! Thank you all for enjoying my Countdown to Opening Day 2015. The offseason is officially over and Kings Island will be open to the public in less than 10 hours. Let's have some FUN, and here's to a FUN season! I'm ready!
  15. Hope everybody is having fun! I have a special countdown post coming at midnight!
  16. ONE. MORE. DAY!! Wow can you believe it? It feels like yesterday it was January with like 80 something days left. Now, it's Preview Night for Gold Pass holders who renewed by Nov. 6, and tomorrow is Opening Day! One of the fastest offseasons I've ever seen. Whoever is going to Preview Night, I hope you all have a FUN time and here's to a FUN season! Photo via @KingsIslandPR on Twitter and edited by me. https://twitter.com/kingsislandpr/status/588085123133878272 And now here's Meteorologist Banshee with the weather. Tomorrow is looking mighty dandy! Expected high of 75 degrees and mostly sunny and a low of 52 degrees.
  17. We have rides testing! That's another sign that Opening Day at Kings Island is among us! We are down to the final 48 hours until the big day! Guys and gals, it's getting real! It's almost here! And now here's Meteorologist Banshee with your weather update. This Saturday, we should be in for a spectacular day! Mostly sunny with a high of 77 degrees. Partly cloudy in the late afternoon into the evening with a low of 55 degrees.
  18. We're down to the final 72 hours until Opening Day!! It's almost here. Are you excited? Well you should be!! Banshee can't wait any longer for your arrival in 3 days. Edit: Weather is looking very pleasant right now! Last week I said that it would be 64 degrees with some rain, then I saw 62 degrees and sunny, and NOW my Weather app says 75 degrees and sunny! But that can still change.
  19. No, there is no discount.Didn't think so.
  20. Quick question. Do Gold Pass holders get a discount on Fast Lane?
  21. Banshee is wailing for you to come to her! In 4 days when it's Opening Day at Kings Island, we will answer her call. She's waiting for you and she can't wait for you to come!
  22. BLSC or The Bat will be the next to be removed IMO. I'd love to see the return of Antique Cars where BLSC is. Probably wouldn't be enough room there for the Cars. Maybe a flat though. Remove The Bat and the long walk and maybe put a coaster there in about 5-7 years.
  23. Alright ladies and gentlemen. It's officially Opening Week. April 18th is THIS SATURDAY!!! It's almost here! Just 5 more days to go until Opening Day at Kings Island. But I don't wanna wait 5 more days. Just like it says below. AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!! (I kid, I kid lol. Just thought it would be funny.)
  24. Hey, guess what? YES! That's exactly what I was going to say! We are SIX days away from Opening Day at Kings Island!
