Seems like the Bengals coaster went to the wrong Kings park, lol

I'm bringing these up because I know they were brought up in past discussions. I can confirm that the eternal flame for Son of Beast in Banshee's queue was lit as of tonight. Also, there was no visible light coming from the casket in front of the Son of Beast grave.

Honestly, with Metro building the 2 BRT lines in their pilot program, I could see the subway becoming incorporated into the BRT system as an express method should it prove to be successful. Of course, I think MetroMoves would be best if it would get implemented fully, but that may be wishful thinking. Would just need to expand the tunnel down to 9th/Walnut, Govt Square, and the Riverfront Transit Center to better flesh it out but I wouldn't think that'd be terribly expensive since I don't believe there's any underground tunnels under Walnut to dodge outside of what you'd normally expect for city utilities and I-71, of course. Even expanding to the Covington Transit Center if Kentucky wants in on it too.

^I like Kings Island more, too, but I have the opposite problem- if there was an opposite side of Ohio from Sandusky, I'm pretty close to that point. I live 5 minutes from the Ohio River and about 40 minutes from the Indiana boarder. It's a good 4-5 hours to Sandusky for me depending on how driving through Dayton and Toledo go (I go north up I-75 and east on OH Route 2).

I love this picture from the Eiffel Tower. If you want to follow me on Facebook, I run a page called Cedar Fair photo fan page. That goes for anybody on here too.

I wish I lived in the middle of the state. That way I could choose between Cedar Point and Kings Island and be equal drive. Between the two I love Kings Island more.

And please, if there is anything left sacred in this World, NOTHING with "Hawk" in the name like they were so fond of in the past!

No way knowing for sure, but I can’t imagine they would be happy if that were the case. So I’d assume there would be some kind of NDA-like agreement in place.

I am at the park today. I have already rode The Beast, Mystic Timbers and Diamondback. The rides are running great for early morning, so I think it's gonna be a very good day for rides. Especially once it gets dark later.

All I ask is that they give it a name better than thunder striker haha

Has anyone else noticed the new digital signs that have popped up around the park? They seem to be in places that used to have either a park map display (where the interactive map screens used to be) and where the advertising boards were. Specifically, there is one in the calendar date planter and another on the side of the Eiffel Tower near French Corner with others around the park. Thoughts? Ideas of why the park replaced the physical map boards? I think they're kinda neat because they're new

Those 2 sections are just areas where the rubber rock wall paneling has fallen off (it's old). The bottom section is also an access hatch to service the moving door from between the walls. (There is one on both sides of the door)

Couldn't agree more. All the greatest attractions in the world wouldn't mean much if it wasn't for the amazing people running them. This goes for some great interactions I've had with food service staff as well. None of them can control the crowd levels or the situations that arise throughout the day, but some recent visits to other parks has made me realize how lucky we are with our staff. Now if only a certain company could realize people are there greatest assets... Here's to an amazing Haunt and Winterfest season. Looking forward to some festive decor and testing over the next few weeks

I first off want to say I made the stupid choice of going to the park yesterday because it was an absolutely beautiful day, I had the day off and honestly I knew anywhere I had the idea to go to would probably be busy and or crowded with people, so I made the choice to go to the park for the last official summer season day. Boy I should have just stayed home. Place was absolutely SLAMMED. Even the Fast Lane lines were long. Longer than I've seen in a hot minute at least. I ended up skipping out on a bunch of rides because having been spoiled by just being able to walk right up to the platform of any ride or just about, I simply did not have the spoons to stand around for long dealing with the gobs of humans in every direction. On that note though, I am making this post for a reason. I want to give a big thanks to all the ride ops for the hard work they put in this summer and for working the massive crowd yesterday as best they could. The 6 rides I did decide to do in the 3 1/2 HRS I was there, ya'll did an excellent job making it work. I also want to give special thanks to the ops for allowing me to have my seat of choice when I politely ask for it and goodness I wish I caught the young man's name at Invertigo yesterday. I was a single rider and the line sep was going to place me in a row I did not want to ride in. After I told him I vastly preferred one of the end facing seats he saved row 1 for me and I was incredibly grateful for that. I not only prefer this seat for the view/ride experience, but with ANY invert, they trigger my motion sickness if I do not ride in the front. Not sure why that is, but if I can see the track and everything directly in front of me I'm perfectly fine. Any other seat just does something negative to me. I will tell any line sep I will wait the extra cycles for the front just so I can ride comfortably. As for traditional sit down/floorless inverting coasters I am perfectly fine to sit in whatever row, but inverts require a front seat ride for me not to feel crappy. Moral of the story, that young man did something that might seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it was huge to me. I love our park and our ride ops. You all have made my visits over the years special. And this season is no exception. I'm sure a lot of you will return for the fall/winter season if school and far travels aren't an issue. Keep up the good work and thanks again for being rock stars. Looking forward to an awesome fall season this year! I hope everyone had an amazing summer season.

They lost the keys to the cargo containers

Well we know you're wrong as it's been over a decade and still no green Intamin track to be found.....lol

Winterfest tickets are now on sale on the website. They readded 4pm opens but only on Saturdays, no 4pm openings on Sundays this year.

Going to beat this drum many times until something is noticed- and I know several from the park (& a few from corporate) peruse through these forums occasionally. Yes, I know, I may be an "entitled" Annual Pass Holder- but I'm betting guests who pay retail for admission and food with their discretionary income are more critical observers. I know people are gross and can't be counted on to throw their things away and clean up after themselves, but at some point the park needs to do something- this isn't an isolated observation. In addition to cleaning at regular (or more regular) intervals- maybe install sanitary wipe dispensers near the outside sit-down eating locations so guests can clean it for themselves (since who knows how many times those towels get used and on goodness-knows-what). The picture at the Skyline location, though, is really unacceptable...

If only there were trash cans close by

Where's the link?
