Pipeline only has one inversion though, this may not be a model that is heavy on inversions. The seats might have something to do with that. We also have two launch coasters, one thrilling for adults and another more family oriented. While that's not a lot I wouldn't call it a lack either. I'll second an extreme spinner! Time Traveler is much preferred to Copperhead Strike. Although an S&S 4d or Axis are only second to an Intamin.

Brimstone is the one the RenFair puts on. I found it alright but being in the cart means actors can't scare you until it stops making it a bit repetitive and predictable. It had long stretches of nothing happening too. Haven't been in a few years though. Some of these haunts you can do in one night. Kings Island is about 30 min from Mt. Healthy and Dent is less than 20 min from Mt. Healthy. Lewisburg Haunted Cave is about an hour from Mt. Healthy but north and going away from Dent, also north is Land of Illusion at about 45 min. Both are some of the best haunts you will find anywhere. Depending on hours (Haunted Hall being all volunteer will probably have the fewest hours, 8 to 11 Fri and Sat, 7 to 9 Sun) you could chain a few parks together. If the math can work out going Dent -> Haunted Hall -> Land of Illusion or Lewisburg might work. Dent also has weekdays they are open. Some descriptions that might help: Dent: The most detailed and immersive scenes you will find anywhere, the sets are truly amazing and even a Kings Island Easter egg! The Phantom Theater stage is part of the haunt. Great actors and a decent length. They have a chain link maze that is ok but I would skip it for other haunts if I had limited time in the area. They have been voted best haunt in the nation and for good reason! Lewisburg Haunted Cave: An actual cave and very long, the longest ever according to Guinness. The entrance area is my favorite of any haunt traveling over water in a dark cave with something lurking in the water! They have had to tone it down a bit due to fire codes but they have running cars and a fire wielding Satan. Tons of hand made animatronics and some clever gags make it unique compared to places like Kings Island that get those sort of things from companies. I've seen the same animatronics at a number of haunts before but Lewisburg keeps it unique. The actors here are very good as well, I've never left this haunt disappointed. Land of Illusion: Several haunts in one but kinda expensive. Expect to pay for parking too. Very animatronic heavy and lacking actors in some of their houses. They get kinda "haunt in the box" for my tastes. But they have a large area with fire pits, games, bull ride, food and more. Unless lines are short an all night affair. The Middletown Haunted Trail is the highlight here with some nice animatronics (headless horseman) and pretty long. They have some good detail in some of the houses but others are more bare bones. They also have a small carnival ride they count as one of their houses. You can buy a combo ticket or per house. Check their website for deals. Mt. Healthy Haunted Hall: A charity haunt benefiting a Boy Scout Troop, Knights of Columbus Council and the Mt. Healthy Food Alliance. Every year it must be torn down to free up our building so it changes every year. This will be our 32nd year (skipping one for covid) with this years unique theme being The Voyage of Fear. We don't have fancy animatronics so most of our sets and props are hand made. We have a giant Vortex tunnel (much bigger than you see elsewhere), Hellevator, and a dark maze for a finale. Decent length (around 20 min depending on how long the maze takes you) with our building, several army tents and a backyard trail. You'll be surprised at how good many of our actors are since many of them have been haunted since they were 11, but we do still have some youngins that may not scare you as much. Despite that I'm blown away every year with what some of them come up with! We tend to be very interactive too, many of our actors will act along with you. Bring a canned good for $3 off or on Sundays bring two cans of soup for half off, $6. We also have a coupon for our fist Friday and Saturday on Sept 30th and Oct 1st. Terror Town: A western themed haunt with a special "extreme" option. I was lined up in a firing squad, hauled away with a sack over may head, had my head dunked in water, was drug across the ground and had copious amounts of blood dumped on me. You can opt out of course! But events like live (as in buried alive) burials, the firing squad and a hanging give you something cool to see while waiting. You can also explore the town which has actors, food and shops. They notify you by text when ready so be sure someone has a phone that will get service out there, not all do! This haunt is really cool but beware the effect the special band can give. I was the only one in my group with one so I got mauled at every scene while the rest of the group was kinda ignored. They do have good actors that interact as well. Not many animatronics if that's your thing. Overall this area has a lot of Haunted Houses, real haunted places and some very good scares! If you couldn't tell I prefer the old school scares and clever scenes much more than high budgets and animatronics. But there is an excellent haunt within an hour for every taste.

Depending on how far you are willing to go Lewisburg Haunted Cave, Dent and USS Nightmare are all good choices. Terror town is fun and sorta has roleplay events while you wait. Haunted Hoochie is awesome but north of Columbus. For a more old school style the charity haunt The Mt. healthy Haunted Hall is about all that's left. I am personally involved so I think it's great of course but we are often told we are better than Kings Island! Land of Illusion gets pricey for all the haunts and only the haunted trail is truly special. I tend to prefer the more focused haunts. To that end any of the side haunts at Dent or the Haunted Cave are completely forgettable. The Renaissance Fair has a haunted hayride as well but the nature of it makes it less scary with safety distance from the moving cart.

No, no. It's one stall 2 feet off the ground with a 300 foot drop to the septic tank.

An employee running the kiddie train said the same to my sister, take that for what you will.

I think it's 5 and 6 but there is a sign, they are around the middle of the train.

Then erosion might make it rise!

He asked for a source on The Bat not Vortex. You don't know when it will reach the end of it's service life or if that will be the stated reason for closure. Unless you have a source to prove otherwise.

Have to disagree with this, the first hill is angled that way on purpose to keep the tunnel in sight. It probably wouldn't line up correctly anymore either. I don't think I'd like them risking the change to new trains either, we saw how well that went with The Voyage.

If your trusted friend thinks they are right they aren't really lying to you even if they are wrong. A trustworthy source can still be a bad one. I bet they mean well but may be doing more harm than good. Social media is a terrible source as well. Keep in mind Google merely finds information, it doesn't vet it. It also prioritizes info that draws clicks without regard for it's accuracy. As far as antibodies go they are all natural since your body makes them itself. The vaccine causes a somewhat different reaction resulting in different antibodies but the end effect is the same. From all I've read the vaccine response is superior but doesn't last as long requiring a booster shot to keep antibodies active in the body. Antibodies from an infection last around a year while the vaccine lasts about 8 months. Having both is better than either alone. Your chance of infection with the vaccine from Delta is around 30 percent. Eliminating 70 percent of the risk is still a good result. This also helps to stop the virus from mutating.

If anyone was planning to visit the Mt. Healthy Haunted Hall the first night is Oct 1st this year not the 27th as in the pic.

I was there Thursday and the crew cycled trains so everyone got off at the station as normal. They then cycled trains again to park a specific train in the station.

He's much friendlier when you're getting off.

My brother and I were waiting in line for it last Thursday night at the back row when it went down. Waited a few minutes when the op at the back told is it would probably be down for a while and said "our trains are a hot mess right now", take that for what you will. Seeing as fireworks weren't long away we left the line. Edit: trains were still being cycled when it closed so I would think the lifts are fine.

All they have to do is add the "Twi" to X2!

I received one of the settlement claim forms and it states I could receive up to $60. On a side note since it always comes up when talk of frivolous lawsuits abound- the McDonald's debacle was about a malfunctioning coffee machine that made the coffee scalding hot giving the woman third degree burns, not that it was simply hot. McDonalds was considered negligent because they didn't fix the coffee maker or properly warn the customer.

Makes leaving them a bit sillier but the logic of not needing a locker or worrying about losing them on a ride still remains. Getting my Dad to pay for a locker is harder than pulling a lions teeth!

You do realize some people are cheap? Why not save yourself 10 bucks if you're meeting someone in the parking lot anyway? And you can't blame their logic with how rare this kind of occurance is at Kings Island. You don't need to convince me of anything as I keep my keys on me.

They probably thought they were safer locked in their friends car than getting lost on a roller coaster. Can't say I haven't seen my family do it.

I could be wrong but I think the last time this brood came out it so happened to sinc up with another smaller brood making it larger than normal. I certainly recall it being the biggest I've ever seen.

Diamondback has one switchback full on the webcam around a 30 to 40 min wait. That's the only queue really visible from the cams though. Strange that Banshee would be so crowded but not Diamondback. Hoping next Sunday isn't too bad since I can't make today.

I used the meal plan for a cfa sandwich Saturday no problem. Seems it is still available.

Wasn't it Diamondback that didn't have an increase? And I think Mystic Timbers was 2%. Also be careful when comparing percentages. Kings Island attendance is much higher than many other parks which makes for lower percentages. Additions may also be made simply to keep attendance up rather than increase it.

What about security guards?

Everyone is worth $15 per hour. While you may take a second job many will give up their second job since they won't have to work two jobs. Given employment needs I don't see a job shortage. To answer you question, no I don't see a problem here.
