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.

Regarding the Son of Beast Station
matt112986 replied to CorkscrewMcPuke's topic in Coming Attractions
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.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
matt112986 replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
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. -
List of Cincinnati area haunted houses
matt112986 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
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.

Six Flags $36Million Lawsuit Settlement

All they have to do is add the "Twi" to X2! -
Six Flags $36Million Lawsuit Settlement
matt112986 replied to disco2000's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
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?

Kings Island Raises Pay for Seasonal Associates
matt112986 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
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. -
Kings Island Raises Pay for Seasonal Associates
matt112986 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
It's not being "handed to them" if they are working for it. It's not a handout. It wouldn't be a big change if we kept minimum wage up with inflation but we haven't. Now it's a much more painful fix. There is no need to raise other workers pay that has kept up with inflation, this pay has already raised. (The rest is not pointed at any person just a statement on it's own)For decades we have lived off others suffering, be that underpaid minimum wage workers here or sweatshops abroad. It needs to change. Don't short change workers and belittle them as beggars just because they work a minimum wage job. This isn't a political concern but an ethical one. -
The end of B&M is coming?
matt112986 replied to coaster sally's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
That same park tore down a B&M to replace it with the exact same B&M. Must see something in them to do that.
