King Ding Dong

^ I thought Kings Island was daycare. Why else would they have have a drop off zone? On a serious note does KI have an unattended age policy? I don't recall ever seeing one.

Sounds like a Chuck is disappointed.

Question on who actually builds the coasters. Are the crew all GCI employees or just the supervisors/engineers/foremen and hire locals for most of the grunt work? I imagine much of the concrete work is poured by local contractors.

Does RMC have ANY announced projects for 16/17 off season? I still would be really surprised if CP started on a project with that site so soon with all the other projects they have going.

I like Railrider, I really do. However unless he can elevate his concern for the greater community over his love for the color red his posts will mostly go unread by many who are color blind and can't read them unless the font size is increased to like 50.

I don't see that, though I don't want Boss to be RMC'd, I would rather see that get a GCI revamp, such a good layout! I don't think anyone needs to worry about The Boss getting RMCed, beyond them hammering some nails back in place.

I miss beer

The dry sided was reportedly not busy today from this post: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/29795-current-wait-times/?p=749117 Weather is much the same Sunday. Wait until you get there.

Adult drinks?

No, thanks. I'll just ride.

Banshee 10k? That's like 8 rides, so they all have to be in a row? /jk

I wonder who is in charge of the naming....

Yes but he is Executive Chairman. Would imagine he has input into the budget and overall strategy.

Someone at CF sure likes "Timbers". https://www.canadaswonderland.com/what-s-new/new-for-2017-soaring-timbers-muskoka-plunge http://youtu.be/EEyUKzGF_-Q http://mondialrides.com/rides/transportable/inferno Questions: Is this new or used? From the picture it looks covered in planks, so are they retheming it? What is the Protein Spill per hour rate on this this thing? I am not a flat person but this does look fun. A Niagra/CW trip next summer just moved a little higher on the priority list. From this video of the inverted version it looks like the ride experience can be changed up a bit by the op or programming. http://youtu.be/D_VLBRJdY4g

They could also just install the kiosks and not man the booths. Once on your account you can just order online or from the booth up by the entrance. The only problem with that idea is not having someone editing out the a$$hats flipping the bird. But they could have one person at an editing station for several rides.

I am still hoping it is go go dancers.

If SFSTL is lucky they might get a few gallons of Weed-B-Gone in next years budget.

Funpix FAQ from CP or KI website. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/funpix/funpix-faqs Take a look at the CP website, they are currently charging $49 for a 2016 funpix season pass. Such a bargain.

^ There doesn't appear to be any financial benefit to auto-renew and the window before prices go up is nearly two months, so I am told. Anyone on this site is fairly well plugged in so we are not likely to miss the deadline.

^ I have two boys that will be going to college within the next 10 years and there will be no sports "scholarships". Unless I do something really, really stupid there is no international travel in my future.

Harmonized. That sounds so lovely and appealing I get the warm and fuzzies. Count me in.

^^ Then definitely not worth the risk on only 4 platinums. Was hoping to save $30 per pass to pay for the passport cards to actually go to CW. Do they have that VAT Europe has or is a special amusement park tax? That is a possibility, but at least at first I imagine their priority is to get people there so they can sell you $5 hot chocolates, $10 jumbo candy canes and $20 skate rentals. And on and on and on.

^Just at the C & K parks. M, V, G & D parks are excluded. New for 2017! All Season FunPix cardholders will get to capture, collect and share all of their photos at all other FunPix parks in 2017: California’s Great America Canada’s Wonderland Carowinds Cedar Point Kings Island Kings Dominion Knott’s Berry Farm

So other than the renewal benefits what are the cons of renewing through CW? If one needed to replace a lost/stolen card can that be done here in OH or would one need to travel to CW for replacements ?

^ I guess they didn't get the memo from the zoo regarding Harambe jokes.
