Things that need to be addressed by 2030
Bansheelover replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Kings Island
My personal wait times needs to be addressed. I believe with my support of Cedar Fair parks by 2030 CF should have a pass perk for my family and I to have Uber Fast Lane passes every visit. What is UFLP, you ask? It is a skip ahead of everyone and my choice of seat. I believe with my advance age, and my roller coaster riding days are numbered this will be a great idea for their number 1 fan. -
So you’re saying it’s a giper or higa?
-
With that explanation then Fury 325 and Leviathan are hypers as well since B&M doesn’t use the term giga. A giga coaster is whatever Cedar Fair defines it. The coaster could be absolutely flat, and then drop 305ft from the station to be a giga. Who really cares what is. It’s an amazing ride that dominants the skyline. When you’re on it you’re eye level with WindSeeker. 13 ft doesn’t make a difference.

Maybe the larger waterlines are need for an aqua coaster of dizzying heights?
-
I only consider Cedar Fair operations since we have Platinum Passes.

When we visited Carowinds last summer my daughters absolutely loved Ricochet. I really wish we had a wild mouse at KI. The nearest one to us is at Michigan's Adventure which we had planned on visiting just for the wild mouse this summer, but we all know why we could not. I think a wild mouse at KI would be a great addition, and would love to see it squeezed in by the Festhaus, or behind the Eiffel Tower next to BLSC.

I agree with the original poster. I think a year of park upkeep and repair is needed. Make the ole park the King for its birthday.

Completed my 14th trip on Orion this evening. I have rode it 2x in the front, 9 in the very back, and 3 in the middle. The front is most intense ride in the park. The wind whipping your face, and staring down the 300ft drop is intense. I did gray out a little on the helix tonight on the front. Very forceful. The middle I feel you're just along for the ride. Nice ejector air on the speed hill, but nothing amazing. The back is a lot of fun feels like you're holding on a runaway train. The first drop is very forceful which feels like you're getting popped out of your seat. The airtime is long and drawn out on the return hills, and the helix seems like it last forever. The last turn and hill to break run makes it feel like you will shot into the woods. The elements of Orion are fun, and fast. That is pretty much all I ask for. To compare it Fury or Millennium Force isn't fair. They're closer to the ground, and feel like you're in a race car. Orion feels like you are in a plane soaring above. I do enjoy the drop on Orion more so than Millennium Force it is steeper and feels like a free fall. Fury's drop feels like you've been shot out of canon. I am glad Kings Island has their giga coaster. It will bring thrills for years to come. It is a crowd pleaser, and very fun. My giga rankings 1. Fury 325 longer, faster, taller my overall favorite coaster. 2. Orion the drop and ejector air is amazing. 3. Millennium Force it is a speed demon, but get better seat belts, rode it twice last week, got kicked off the third time for my seat belt not fastening. yet to ride Intimidator 305 supposed to ride this year, but will in 2021. Leviathan will be rode in 2022.

As horrible as 2020 has been on our summer. I have been fortunate it enough to visit the park 15 times. Each time I have had a meal. All 16 of my meals have been hot , fresh, and delicious. Better than I can make myself. Ranking my meals by tiers. Tier 1 Pub Burger hot fresh, and my go to burger when I really want a hamburger. Fish Sandwich hot fresh with the perfect crunch. Space Hoagie blew my mind. The "condiments" on the sausage were really unique and full of flavor. Wish I could make this Chicken and sweet potato from Coney. I can't replicate the chicken. My favorite meal. Family doesn't like coney bbq Both salads at the Brewhouse. Really wish you could substitute the tots for a half salad. Tier 2 Panda kids love, I never venture away from double orange and the noodles. Has been fresh the 5 times I have had to eat it. Juke Box cheeseburger hot fresh, and tasty. Fries were undercooked that is what knocks it down. Chicken Tenders from Chicken Shack. Once again hot fresh, and fast. Does its job when I was in a pinch. Tom and Cheese BBQ is pretty good, but have had it twice first time would have put in tier 1, but the second wasn't melted or something as good. Drops it here. Tier 3 Chicken Sandwich from Chicken Shack. No condiments, dry, and stale. Will just go to Chic Fil A if I want a chicken sandwich. LaRosa's from Festhaus. Had been sitting out, cold, cheese was hardening. Not making that mistake again. Wanted something other than panda paid the price. Have not gone to Hank's this season can't talk the kids into it. Never been to Subway too slow. Usually go to eat at the Brewhouse and catch a few rides. I found myself craving the Brewhouse during the off season. Overall the food and service have been fantastic. The selection is perfect for me. Has a variety of things I like, and I try to try everything at the Brewhouse and Coney BBQ every season.

There’s still two pieces left laying on the ground at that the site. Do what you have to do.

Probably too late now, but KI should've had made The Vortex pit the smoker's lounge. Slide down into the mud, and climb back up. Would have been a new ride.

I don’t wear a mask, but if a business requires is like Costco I suck it up and do it. Since Kings Island will, and my kids want to go. Mask it is. -

I was using the pandemic as an excuse not to up my weight loss, program. Now I'm going to have to go back to my wrestling days in high school to drop weight. -

No, the park will be busy enough with everyone wanting to do something. May have to limit the amount of people in the park. -
