Went there for the first and only time in 2021. Middle of summer and not enough workers to run but about 2/3 of the rides in the park and only about 1/2 in the waterpark. It was kind of run down as well. Mind Eraser (prof screamore) was not a good ride. Firebird was ok. Superman was fun. Not much else there. I can see Ragin' Cajun and the Harley Quinn frisbee/pendulum rides being relocated for sure because they were new(er).

Weeds will replace it I imagine. At least for a while.

Was heading to the park yesterday at 1pm with my wife and 17yr old son. When we got on I-71 at the South Lebanon exit (the exit just north of the Kings Island exit) traffic was VERY slow. As I slowly got to about 1 mile from the KI exit I realized that the right lane was at a standstill ALL THE WAY to the exit!! There was no opportunity to even squeeze in, so I drove on down to the "south KI exit". When we went by the KI parking lot, it looked like a Saturday in JULY!! We all said "No freaking way!!" and went to Sonder Brewing instead I don't know why I expected a "regular" season pass preview day... No one in school, lots of people off work, beautiful weather. Absolutely INSANE!! We'll go back on a Sunday morning in a couple weeks...

The efficiency and speed at ALL of the restaurants and rides really annoys me to death! It has for all of Cedar Fair's ownership. You have to just come to the conclusion that they don't really "care" about efficiency and speed. You're in the park. They got your $$. Plus it's a bunch of dumb high school and college kids (with barely any supervision) running almost everything and they DEFINITELY don't care about speed or efficiency!

The digital kiosks they had for a year or two after COVID were GREAT!! SO strange (and inefficient) that they went back to humans taking your orders...

Nowhere

Rode Georgia Gold Rusher @ Six Flag Over Georgia (Atlanta) last weekend and it's a really FUN ride!! It definitely needs to do one more pass through at full speed to make a 20sec longer ride though. They didn't have the 2 clusters of seats spinning yet. I got to ride on the end though so it was great. They DID start the water effects later in the day (got up to 80°). They totally need to get more efficient at load and unload but it was only their 4th day of operation. Kings Island should put one of these in the area behind Orion and make it space themed!! Wouldn't even need the water effect, but that could be a space capsule splash down I suppose.

Yep. It was in the back by the giant playing card house and sunshine turnpike.

I think it will either be a(nother) total revamp in the Boo Blasters building, or possibly a new dark ride in the Tomb Raider building.

Get a Bank of America card. NO foreign transaction fees! There's lots of other cards that do this too.

Years ago (2017) when they still issued physical passes, you had to go to your "home park" as your FIRST visit of the year... That's not a thing anymore is it?

You HAVE to assume that the $$ listed on the Canada's Wonderland site are CANADIAN DOLLARS, right?? If so this order is insanely cheaper than buying from Kings Island!! Only $273 U.S. dollars (before taxes) versus $388 if bought from K.I. !! Can this be??

Have you ridden Fury325? Such a better drop and way more fun ride overall...

Has anyone dug around enough and found WHERE/HOW you get the ALL PARK add on for $65 as mentioned in this article? https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/2024/09/11/six-flags-launching-7-new-coasters-2025-how-you-can-ride-them-all/75104736007/ "the company also will introduce an expanded All Park Passport membership add-on that gives Gold and Prestige Passholders and Members unlimited admission and parking to all 42 of the company’s amusement and water parks. It's now on sale at prices ranging from $65 to $125 depending on the Passholders’ Pass or Membership level and purchase location."
