Didn't get may visits in since work started mandatory weekends on me. Managed 2 days in April, 2 in June, 2 September, 1 December. Avoided most of the crowds and heat so that is a plus. Most important part is my 11yo made the 54" mark and we finally all hot to ride Diamondback together. Planning our first CP visit for July. Excited to finally get to go and test her crazy limit. Kid is now ditching us at the coaster trains if she sees another kid by themself to ride with. Guess it's more fun with kids her own age lol. Though she has already decided she will grow up and build a 600ft coaster because "Orion could be taller" .

The KI page that shows Fastlane on sale soon shows Diamondback demoted, and no Vortex.

Late response on this. Just got done looking into adding the 2020 season FL through the app and noticed the description says 29 attractions, didn't 2019 only have 28 attractions?

Doesn't Platinum get you in earlier to Shores though? That isn't part of a hotel stay that I've read.

I just wish the layout was a bit different in the kids area of Soak City. I had a horrible time keeping up with my daughter when she was 4. Can run in any direction and off to the rest of the park. It was actually why I went to Kentucky Kingdom for waterpark when she was little: fenced in so less stressful.

The only one that seems close to what my family would do is the Sunrise Thrills since it's mainly focused on backstage. 11yo has been asking for a Beast Tour for a few years now lol. The front of line access isn't a huge importance to us. At the same time being a passholder with drink/dining plans seems to make it less value.

I was curious about getting how to get backstage tour/coaster access and this came up: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/vip-tours Is this an old page or something to keep an eye on?

According to my 11yo a bit of construction or Area 72 can be seen while riding Zephyr, I'm just taking her word for it because I can't do dethaw quickly enough to ride. And of all things she was most excited to see during Winterfest this weekend was.... a Skyhigh Coasters truck in our hotel parking lot

Browsing Twitter and a construction webcam showed up in my feed.... https://www.holidayworld.com/holiday-world-webcam-splashcam2020/

Anyone else wish they did a horror makeup demonstration during Tween? Kids are curious things and being able to see how it's done could inspire the next gen of artists.

Definitely, it's on the site and same info was posted in the Eiffel Tower elevator when we went during Haunt.

Easier to convince ppl to ride that may be a bit intimidated lol.

From what I've read police said it was a "strong-arm robbery" and things escalated to someone shouting "gun" which caused the panic.

Fox19 is at the park this morning for Vortexand Haunt. Don't have the channel here but they may give some Orion info as well.

Should have saved the video of her singing "Hard Knock Life" doing laundry . Math teacher already has her doing worksheets with amusement park word problems since she won't shut up about KI. She'll be happy to see lights on the Eiffel Tower though.

Ohio Valley Coasters has more pics on FB. I thought these guys were on here... https://m.facebook.com/ohiovalleycoasters/

Still done, I just owe her 40 minutes of webcam lol.

Eh, I've been using construction cam as a bribe for my 11yo to get her chores done. "You take too long you won't have free time to check" . Whatever works I guess hehehe

Peronally think they would just add Orion and leave KMAA. If they bump it to Fast Lane it cuts out visitors under 48" from needing Fast Lane+ because it's the only ride for under that height unless the waterpark is open. Then it only works for kids over 40". Financially it's more $$$ for the park.

Blue, white, red France!!! Lol

Chad posted progress on the Eiffel Tower. Looks like they only have 6 strands of lights up so far, hopefully they don't need it complete before the cams come back on. https://mobile.twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/1187056768599416834

Sorry I'm in the CNC engineering spectrum lol.

Quick give us your work number and we can request "service work" or something.

I had to take a 2nd glance at that one, thought I missed the hill topoff. Really good

US government not happy about the asteroid impact announcement?
