King Ding Dong

Does anyone see a scenario that KI can operate safely at normal attendance levels? Does anyone see a scenario that KI can operate profitably at a 50% reduction in attendance? (Say no daily tickets sales except for bring-a-friend)

As long as they don’t use Storm Troopers, those guys are crap at aiming lasers.

This could be a Boo Blasters re theme.

Well, I for one would like them to allow masks this year.

Only recently saw a picture of it but it looked more like Jesus telling a tale about the size of the fish he supplied for the wedding. Regarding all this talk of hiring and opening the park. Think about all the restaurants that have apparently shut down for good that make all that wonderful food. Those chefs are going to need jobs so could be a phenomenal year for KI Food Service. Maybe we could see some actually good pizza.

@KIfan73 is that the venue referred to by the “Outdoor Drama ->” sign on 23? Everytime I pass that sign on the way to camp I always chuckle “No thanks, I have enough Indoor Drama at my house”.

Cough, Cough I know, I know, the 14 day clock starts on my quarantine again.

Absolutely, but my oldest was 6 at the time and probably didn't weigh 50lbs. I should still have the rest of the box of masks but can't figure out which box of crap in the basement they are in. Both boys mowing machines now, but not great with the gas trimmer. Going to try that again this year.

How does a ride-op on any coaster check restraints/staple without getting up close? Is PPE the answer? July and August hustling outside with all that on? Not to many are going to put up with that. I gave up wearing an N95 mask mowing my lawn after 3 times and just paid a neighbor kid to do it.

And I raise you, fortune favors the bold.

Source please. That is not what several media outlets I have seen are saying he said.

Again: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/seaworld-ceo-resigns-after-5-months-cfo-promoted-effective-immediately-2020-04-06 Sounds like a great opportunity for those seeking some temporary seasonal employment in the theme park industry.

@CedarFairFan787 Knotts released a statement this weekend for Platinum and Knotts Gold pass holders. Passes and add-ins will carry over to 2021. No information yet for Gold Passholders at the other parks like KI. Given what has been announced for Platinum passholders, my hunch is the same will eventually apply to Gold Passholders at individual parks, but that hunch is worth what you paid for it. Edit: If anyone is looking for some temporary seasonal employment opportunities, the CEO position at SEAS just opened up again. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/seaworld-ceo-resigns-after-5-months-cfo-promoted-effective-immediately-2020-04-06

@MDMC01 RFYLCB is a kiddie ride according to the park. Otherwise that would be my pick as that was the first ride we rode at KI in 2016. I think the Dodgems would be the longest since. Looking through the ride lists for got 2 we have never been on. Grand Carousel and KMAA.

Not trying to sound paranoid or anything but these people literally want to kill me so I can no longer spend my money at Kings Island. So don’t try and tell me it is not on topic.

Very true. Just seen to much of that idiocy today. But I disagree these are outcasts, there are very large, very popular congregations planning this. Planning to make all of this sacrificing we are going through moot.

Instead Middle-America plans to go to church on Easter Sunday in large numbers.

Well, crap. 500 Billion isn’t so bad I suppose.

Link please. I want to be the next overnight trillionaire. I know some hospitals in NYC and here in Cbus that will pay top dollar. Don’t post it. PM me, I will give you a cut. On that note. I sure hope we can continue making payments on the payment plan if we choose. When I renewed the Canadian currency conversion rate was 1.3 now it is at 1.42

CDC says hand washing is better....

Needs to be something about increasing the availability of Coke FreeStyle machines.

By doing this and not issuing refunds, it locks in a solid customer base for 2021. Some may otherwise choose not to continue being a Passholder for 2021 due to economic or societal forces.

CF should add milk to the drink plan. Lots of flavors to chose from with a Freestyle machine.

You may very well be right, but why do you think that, what is your thought process here?

As a Canadian Passholder I am sure to get hosed.
