This 100%. Speaking of fog, did anyone else notice the fog bubbles in Coney Mall?

He was back last night! On the path behind the Tower toward Rivertown.

For my family, it is always the drinks and dining.

10:30 show of Monster Rock! Great as always!!

In the lounge eating dinner right now. Still have the infused water and non-Frito Lay chips. I did notice the phone charging (power strips plugged into the tent lights) are gone. Edit: confirming the lounge is closing at 8. Sitting here at 748 and everything is being closed up.

Cutbacks in the VIP lounge after selling Prestige Passes.

So, heading to the park now. Who else is ready to play “Spot the Newest VIP Lounge Cutback!” ?

100% price increase on hot chocolate refills. Now $2. (first night is still free after paying $13.99) For that price, it might be better to just buy a new mug each night, especially if you are sharing with your family.

You can get them from the “check your height” stand behind the FastLane booth. That stand is usually open into the evening.

So, since the park isn't open to the public this weekend, does that mean we should expect to see double the amount of downgrades next weekend?

This. I think up until the Prestige Pass came out, the lounge was perfect for the amount of people. We did the lounge one day in July (paid the 39.99), and there were 10 people all day. I am hopeful that we will see some good things come next season. If not, I'll just go back to Gold for 2024.

^Ugh, that stuff was disgusting. Tried all the flavors last Friday. All I could think of each time was it tasted like fruit flavored water diluted after 20 minutes of ice melting in your cup. I was pretty p***ed off Friday night with the changes. I am holding out hope that next season we will see better things with the lounge. #FingersCrossed

Add me to the list that has become displeased with the lounge. The removal of the bottled water was a big hit for us. The infused water was disgusting. It tasted like what’s left in your cup after the ice melts. I didn’t have a chance to try the chips. By the time I wanted some (around 930), all the flavors, save for one, we’re gone. I asked about it, remembering that in past trips they were restocking the chips until close. I was told that they don’t get anymore until the next day. If this keeps up, they can kiss our 4 Prestige Passes goodbye for 2024, as I will just go back to Gold. On our next trip, if there are more cutbacks, I’ll be visiting guest services.

Have you tried getting your front of the line at the check your height stand behind the Fast Lane stand? That is where we get ours. It is usually staffed into the early evening.

According to a post on the KI Passholder FB Group, physical Prestige Pass cards are now available at Guest Services.

Some random thoughts looking to 2023: 1. Let's add Meteor Canteen to the Dining Plan. 2. Please, please, please bring back the Pomme Frites to The French Corner!!!

Nice. We need more mazes this year.

https://www.visitkingsisland.com/season-passes Gold and Platinum passes for 2023 still have early entry. Summer passes do not.

Where did you hear this?

Looks like the 15% off isn’t triggering yet.

My guess is that the cardholder will be entitled to whatever perks+ the other parks have. Can't wait to get some more information on these!

The drink and dining plans are available for 2023. $130 for dining, and $34.99 for drinks. Did a dry run on upgrading my gold pass to this new one and all of the ads-one are available for purchase now.

Went with the Dinosaurs Alive turkey wing tonight. The wing tip was a bit tough, but the rest was really good. Be warned, the only way to eat this bad boy is to dig in with both hands. The sauce was good, a little spice. Also, the chips are very similar in flavor to the Afterburner Chips from Meteor Canteen.

According to the app there is a Skyline at Tidal Wave Bay. I don’t eat there but I have gotten drink refills there in the past.
