Adventuro Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I just heard their isn't going to be bins for your stuff in the Banshee station. Why not? It's kind of a new idea for CF to do with newer rides. It's supposed to increase capacity and obviously revenue from the lockers. It's both a good and bad thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It looks like more than just the AZ circle is gone. It looks like all the concrete there is gone. *fingers crossed* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast1116 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I just hate it cause my family and me will have at least2 bags. But we don't want to pay for lockers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There is absolutely no reason to carry two bags in the park. If you're carrying anything more than what can fit in cargo pockets and/or a fanny pack, you're carrying too much. Here's some tips on how to reduce what you carry: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28780-no-loose-articles-in-the-Banshee-station/page-3#entry582057 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamesAndRides Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That same thing happned to me TheBeast1116, Me and my friend were going to go ride Firehawk (We each had a bag) But they said we had to get a locker, I dont get why they cant have the bins in the station. I guess they tested it on Firehawk, Went well and now they will use it for Banshee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Firehawk has no bins because the station isn't big enough to have room for bins. If they put bins in the Firehawk station, they won't have sufficient room for people to move around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast1116 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 What I mean is their is 8 people in my family. My sister and me will have a draw string bag. I'm getting a Kings Island bag before we go to have my Beast train replica in, so it won't get damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Leave it in the car. Simple as that. You can get your hand stamped when you exit so you can re-enter. If you buy something during the day, take it straight out to the car. There is no reason to carry a backpack or other bag in the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSaturdayNite Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Bring non-riders with you. Take some time to find activities at the park they would enjoy and in exchange, ask them to hold your stuff. You'll get to experience new aspects of the park as well. And if that's not an option, don't be afraid to split the party. This isn't D&D. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We typically only carry a bag in primarily so Katie can put her glasses in something. I am looking into the band that Terpy mentioned. It is likely we will invest in contacts. She's going to try out for track and it will be better for her. I may benefit in the band myself. I need to start looking at cargo pants for us.

UnrealNightmare Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Speaking of contacts I lost a pair to Top Thrill Dragster's front row a few years ago. This is why I always bring extra now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortexfreak Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We normally only have one bag and it's the drawstring Diamondback bag but with two rides now that don't allow bags I guess it's time for cargos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheikra_rocks Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I just heard their isn't going to be bins for your stuff in the Banshee station. Why not? Because they said so. Honestly, there is no reason to carry a bag in the park UNLESS you are going to the waterpark. Then once you are done with the water park, take the bag back to the car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast1116 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Actually my nephew is on 15 months old, so I could always leave my bag with someone who is watching him. I forgot about ithat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I carry the absolute minimum. My pass, some cash, keys, and license. I don't even bring my phone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy something during the day, take it straight out to the car. There is no reason to carry a backpack or other bag in the park. Unless you have a little one, or an old one, or are on vacation and want to take pictures (say you have a nice Nikon or Cannon). Lets say you want to make sure you carry sunscreen for your little ones. Sometimes just "running" out to the car and back is not always an option. But your point is a good one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 This tip might help those who NEED a cell phone like myself: When the season starts, spend $15-$30 on a cheap trac-phone. Keep it in your car when you're not at Kings Island and refill minutes when needed. That way if you have an iPhone, like myself and many others, you won't have to worry about losing it. If you want to bring a nice camera along side, I suggest investing in an all day locker or don't take one at all. Chilly night ahead? While it may be "unfashionable" to some, tying your jacket around your waist is always handy! This is the first year I'll be driving to KI, so now I have to bring keys, phone, and wallet containing my license, some cash and my season pass. Years before I only brought with me a cell phone and some cash that I stored in my back pocket. So I decided to buy a key chain that can be tied to your ankle. I refuse to take a draw string bag with me. Side question: I love Monster Energy drinks to the point where I drink one every 2 days or so. My question is am I allowed to take one in? If not, are there any places in the park that sells them? Last year I took one in 3 or 4 times and didn't get stopped. I just don't like going against park policies so if that means skipping something I didn't need in the first place 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBlade21 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Don't they have restraunts with gluten free food? And that's understandable. I think they offer gluten free food but it might be more expensive than regular food. Also, I don't think they want to get involved in saying yea or nay to anything that relates to a medical condition. Edit: unless that medical condition is a potential safety risk for other guests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
