@Don Helbig Wow! In the argument for best ride experience ever. #FuryFever @Tony Clark Just experienced #Fury325 with GM @mikefehnel and Marketing Director John Taylor. Oh. My. God!!!!

When you have #FuryFever

When you drive though standing water on the road and it reminds you of Diamondback's splashdown

Just checked out the Fury 325 webcam facing the underground dive and all I can say is Wow!..... You HAVE to check out the "lightning bolt" lights striking back and forth under the tunnel! Amazing! ....On a somewhat related note....Lights have also been placed and aimed upwards at the support beams making them glow into the night. Carowinds Webcams Page

And Mason is not Cincinnati. Sorry, I could not help myself........

And then what would have been the incentive to renew early? You snooze, you lose. The earlybird gets the preview night. The snoozer gets to pay more.

You are not the target market. Yet.

Several more years and Snoopy may be as inculcated in the hearts and minds of Kings Island lovers as Fred Flintstone once was.

Check towards the top left of the picture.

^ Yes, the park does have that information. If you ordered online and want to reprint your receipt, you can do this at https://cf-ki.secure.accesso.com/orderLookup

I received an email from the park recently specifically saying I am invited to the event, because I renewed in the fall. I plan to have a copy of that along with a print of my renewal confirmation when I go, just in case. Still curious whether season-long meal plans will work that evening.

It looks like they are adding the graphics onto the Woodstock Gliders ride today. Its looking nice!

I feel like they should have just made the preview night open to all passholders

I said the same thing until the birth of my daughter. Then all of a sudden they seemed very important.

You know it; I saw Big last night (well technically Thursday night since it's past midnight lol) and it was amazing!!!!!!!

... when Snoopy makes a random cameo appearance in a certain local musical production

Do you or a loved one think they may have #FuryFever? Talk to your doctor and find out if FURY 325 is right for you!

I'm not familiar with that. Can you post a picture or two to enlighten me?

Details are up: https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Coaster-Campout-Reservations?mobile=0 Campsites this year are $200 each, with all proceeds going to A Kid Again. There are 65 campsites in the grass and 115 on the concrete, and campsites this year are first-come, first-served (unlike last year's lottery). Tickets will go on sale this coming Tuesday, March 24 at 9 AM. To access the ticket purchase page, you will have to enter the promo code CAMPCP in the upper right corner of their home page after 9 AM on Tuesday. Who here is going to do this? I was hoping to do it this year, but $200 is out of my price range given my budget for the year.

It creates alot less confusion and the Carowinds and KD preview nights are open for all passholders

Not just you. It's being very, very slow for me right now.

Bring back The Chippery!

Sorry to double post... Winners have been selected. If anyone else wishes to participate, please PM me. I will put you on a standby list. Plus we may be adding another testing day. Thanks!

So apparently Juke Box Diner has been re-added to the All Season Dining Plan. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/dining-plans

Each campsite holds up to 4 people. $50/person is very reasonable for all you get, and all the money is going to a very good cause. This event was a lot of fun last year.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but it looks like the cars have been added to KI's scooters! Captured from Kings Island Webcam.

For those of you who do not know, here is where the name almost certainly came from. I really like the name by the way.

The 2015 park map calls it Shake, Rattle, & Roll. I would take that as a yes! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/uploads/file/2015%20Map.jpg

The access via the exit system is generally not considered universal access unless EVERYONE accesses via the exit. (Note however, an available elevator MAY be reasonable). It is, at most, an interim solution until major renovation occurs. And, contrary to many perceptions, there is no 'grandfathering' under the ADA; the facility owner must make reasonable accommodation.

Think a Soak City expansion is much needed. We could definitely use at least a new slide tower if not a few big new slides.

The Season Pass Portal is the best way to stay informed about exclusive events, early rides lineup, bring a friend days and more! Enroll your pass today if you have not already done so.

When you watch a POV video of The Beast front seat, and start simulating the ride.

... when you sit in a chair on your back patio pretending you are on Slingshot as the chair pivots backwards and forwards just like the ride does.

You know when.....you are driving down a country road, you see a dip in the road, and you intentionally speed up so you can experience airtime.

When you step outside early in the morning while it's still dark and there's fog. Feels like you're at Haunt.

When you get excited about new coasters testing

When the purple Banshee cup is $.49 at the thrift store.

When people post more (and more) coaster videos on your Facebook page. I guess even my non coaster riding friends even miss me going to amusement parks in the off season.

When your lady friend asks you which POVs she should check out on YouTube, even though she isn't nearly as involved in this stuff as you are.

When you ride the elevator to the top of your building, and you push the sub-basement button then you pretend that you are on Drop Tower.

When you receive a phone call from Kings Island saying you are being re-hired, and yes, I am being re-hired.

When you let amusement park ambiance sound loops "rock" you to sleep.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of grateful for the off season. If you spend as much time as I do at KI, you really need some time to recharge the batteries. Don't get me wrong, I'm as bummed as everybody else on closing day, but I like to take the off season to try new things since so much of my time is wrapped up in the park while it's open.

When you can't even come up with something clever because you're about to lose your mind from the offseason...

When you're half asleep and NASA TV is on, and you wake up early in the morning and they're interviewing astronaut Scott Kelly, and you're rubbing your eyes because you think you're seeing two Dons! National Aeronautics and Space Administration

You know.....when you try to make a grocery store purchase by swiping your Platinum Pass. (True story)

When you consider the next opportunity in life as a great adventure.

When you write a poem about the offseason for a class and consider your next poetry assignment to be about The Bat (1993, not 1980's). EDITed for date clarification

When you can't sleep at night anymore because you need to ride a coaster.
