  1. It is an event where you must purchase a ticket - your season pass does not work, as this is a fundraiser.  Looks like a new group is hosting this year.  Yes, Planet Snoopy is generally closed during the event.  In the past, meal plans and drink plans have worked, not sure about this year.  I will be there loud, proud, and most likely with some form of glitter on me somewhere.  A meet up would be fun!

    Exciting!!! Anyone go to the Gold Pass Preview day last year? I didn't but I heard that it was total insanity...like lines for food as long as you'd expect for a big coaster. lol  Any thoughts? Or was the person I talked to just exaggerating?

    Complete mayhem and bedlam...but would not have given up the experience for anything!  I had a great time despite the lines, crowds, and everything else.  Being among the first to experience Mystic Timbers is something I will cherish for a very long time.

  3. To me, the horrible state of the parking lot is a major detraction to the entire feel and vibe of Kings Island. Knowing I have risked my car's alignment is generally not a good way to start my #KIBestDay .  I think if I could have one "wish list" item to push to the top of the list, it would be the parking lot at this wonderful park.  I know other things need tended to as well, but the parking lot is really getting bad.

    Did you know you're likely to walk 5 - 8 miles a day when visiting a theme park?

    But if it's worth it to you to park 300 feet closer to the gate, by all means.  

    When you have rheumatoid arthritis, 300 feet after a long day can mean the world.

    I went to Camden Park a many a years in my childhood (I live about 20 min. from the park) and I don't think I've ever seen it run at night with the headlights actually on. It's very possible it's happened! I just never noticed it emoji846.png

    I feel horrible living about 20 minutes from Camden Park as well and not having been there in at least a decade or so.  I cannot remember the headlights ever working either.

    I'm sure if there isn't a retrofit of the attraction happening it will be open.  

    I wouldn't count on any seasonal theming inserted to any extent.  It could complement the verse of the song 'Most Wonderful Time of the Year' that's says 'there'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago...'  I never understood what that meant anyway.  

    Apparently ghost stories at Christmas is an old tradition

    Just discovered this a couple of years ago myself!  Interesting read....

  7. I know I am in the minority, but removing bins really would serve to make load in of rides much quicker and efficient.  Hello Cedar Fair...give us the option for drink wristbands and/or putting them on our season pass card and much of the complaints go away.

  8. I have to say that Pride Night seems to have hit its pace this year!  Wonderful event for a wonderful cause and SO happy it will be returning.  Unlike the speculation previous, knowing that Kings Island is so accomodating toward this event is the prime reason I renew my Cedar Fair Platinum Pass every year and feel better about spending the additional money (even if I don't get to go to any other park).  I know it is a buy out night, but clearly with the additional decorations and the obvious mentions on the main sign for the park, they are approving of this event.

    That was the first random thought that crossed my mind when I saw the axe in the MS video and I have no doubt many others did as well. Fun to joke about but moving a woodie is not cheap and probably wouldn't save much money over building something from the ground up. It's almost 30 years old. Many are absolutely certain about an RMC job, I am skeptical,

     OMG!  I am not completely crazy...well, I am completely crazy....but at least others saw what I saw.  LOL  - Can today just be Friday already?

  10. I want to make one of the most ridiculous speculations and highest of conspiracy theories of all conspiracy theories in a “decoding” thread….so take this with a grain of salt….

     

    During Announcement #1 decoding, there was mention of an axe being sent to media outlets
    http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/31913-decoding-episode-ii-rivertown-2017-and-the-falling-trees/page-202#entry736863

     

    The announcement of Mean Streak Last Rites, an axe and mention of the word axe is mentioned heavily:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYcva24mxU0

     

    The most far fetched and obtuse decoding from the realm of Area 51, Art Bell, X Files, and The Kardashians is Cedar Fair moving Mean Streak from Cedar Point to free up area in the back of the park to Kings Island. 

     

    Please be gentle in throwing stones and realize this decoding should be taken in the spirit of fun and light hearted humor.  J

  11. I attended the Cincinnati Pride Parade and Festival this year at Sawyer Point, and as a Platinum Season Pass Holder, it was very pleasant to see uniformed staff from Kings Island at the GLBTQ Center of Greater Cincinnati booth helping promote the event.  As Christian and a member of the GLBTQ Community, it is fantastic that Cedar Fair permits such diverse events as SpiritSong and Pride Night to both occur at Kings Island.  I will certainly be at Pride Night!  Cannot wait for another fun night!!!
