First of all, I'm all impressed with the new Adventure Port since last year.... Second of all: this past June 24th, when I rode the new Adventure Express to get my 500th ride in and guess what? I got my 500 rides in.... Now that I have 1,649 lifetime rides with Adventure Express with ONLY 351 rides away to 2,000th ride which will also take place later this Spring/Summer 2025 and will also coincide with Cargo Loco when I get my 500 rides in at the same time in 2025.....

There are a lot of suggestions for Kings Island (Sxi Flags) would be several things: 1. Special Events in Spring months (April & May) like Peanuts Celebration and/or expanded Food & Wind Festival would be a great kickoff to the season before the Summer operation begins in May. 2. Yes---With The Bat & Banshee there.....I could absolutely foresee the possibility of renaming Action Zone into Mythical Village or Haunted Zone....It could go either way. 3. A new roller coaster. I would not be surprised if it will become Vortex The Grip of Fear by way of B&M or Vekoma or Premier 4. New restaurants 5. Renovated bathrooms 6. Expanded shows 7. I would not be surprised if a new themed zone area will be added and be called Jungle Xpedition the same way as what Kings Dominion does.

Hmmm, I'm starting to digress something here.......Where are the NEW Adventure Express hats and stuff???

Yes.....I have ridden The Bat (no matter if it is old or new).... 84 times (89 all time rides) last season is very impressive but enjoyed being part of The Bat's 30th Anniversary which is the reason why I have shown Kings Island a true spirit in capturing The Bat last season which has been a great start to the 2023 season....I'm now looking forward to the new season this April and I'm just about ready to go to ride The Bat again.....

I think I might know something........I looked at the clue #3..... Water slide!! Clue #2: Palm tree, roller coaster track, WindSeeker part & Eiffel Tower. Clue #1 Woods.

Not surprised about the merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair.....although I don't mind welcoming Six Flags to Cedar Fair family, so with that said don't expect any major changes until at least 2025.....

Well, first of all.....I have heard a lot of speculation going on with the expansion of Planet Snoopy to be turned into Camp Snoopy.....I'm all for that although I know the Camp Snoopy themed area are at Carowinds, Michigan's Adventure, Cedar Point & Knott's Berry Farm.... I wouldn't be surprised if Kings Island will get Camp Snoopy, that'll save me a trip to Cedar Point or Carowinds to check out Camp Snoopy.... Second, I'm all for the return of Phantom Theater although I've heard there were problems involving Boo Blasters that's getting crapped out somehow so I think that Boo Blasters should be eliiminated and be replaced with Phantom Theater....that'll make sense. Even though yes, I've seen new Phantom Theater merch going on at Kings Island as well.

Hopefully Adventure Port will be finished sometime by this Summer but I have heard there are delays going on which resulted in having Adventure Port not open and has construction team continue to work so that means it will be extended wait until May at best....but I know I was a bit disappointed with the fact Adventure Port won't be open on time and won't be open anytime soon until May or whenever construction is finished whichever comes first in order to have the Grand Opening Celebration take place at a later date.....Time will only tell.... The reason why construction is being extended due to delays and having to install the new rides they will put in which is also another matter along with Mercado.

Well, I voted the 2022 Cedar Fair Winterfest at Kings Island because I like everything the best including seeing the Winterfest Wonderland Parade for the first time.....Definitely enjoyable....Second of all, after I was there for the last day of Winterfest plus my birthday two weeks ago......got my birthday buttons (1 on my lanyard & 1 in front gate), rode the Antique Autos and to top it all off with getting my first ever Cedar Fair Winterfest mug with free hot chocolate for my birthday through Guest Services...... I can tell you that is why 2022-2023 Cedar Fair Winterfest at Kings Island is definitely my #1 favorite for the holiday season.

Well, I'm familiar to Halloween Haunt at Kings Island......definitely like this kind of nighttime Fall event.....really fun but that event doesn't bother me at all....thank goodness that the scare actors weren't going to scare me or doing anything crazy..... I can enjoy the rides during HAUNT which is what I like best.

That's more like Cedar Point's 150 Years.

Well, as far as I'm concerned.....The fights that the troublemakers caused...... I have realized this has been an ongoing problem already now but I can see why the loud, unruly, obnoxious brats (teens) have been looking for trouble by harass and distract while in queue lines when people are trying to ride different rides... With that said, it makes me sick to my stomach knowing the problems has gotten out of hand and apparently got worse so that's already problematic as far as I'm concerned. It makes me mad knowing the bad parents don't care at all about it.....It's obvious to me that the unruly teens don't give a crap and wanted to start a brawl..... Seriously, that's a serious problem. My point is that I would like to recommend this to Kings Island that there are consequences for unruly teens' misbehavior as well as including brawls, using foul language and some sort. What's more is they will get hit with very severe punishment from Warren County courthouse with judge along with Kings Island & Cedar Fair.....that will put unruly teens away into state prison and yes, if they have Kings Island Gold Pass or Cedar Fair Platinum Pass, it's going to be shut down, revoked and deactivated for good and they will NOT be eligible to renew season passes for the foreseeable future. That's exactly what part of the ban/exclusion will do to the teens.... And finally, once they are being put into state prison or juvenile detention....both of that will teach the teens a lesson not to cause trouble again. I agree with Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell when I watched the news about it last year.....He's giving them a warning.....Do not come to Kings Island....if they do, they're going to jail, period.

Absolutely agreed.....I love what Kings Island's doing for the 50th Anniversary Golden Celebration.....Really, I enjoyed being at my beloved Cedar Fair home park, Kings Island last week got everything related to the 50th Anniversary consisted of my own Kings Island 50th Anniversary gold all season bottle (similar to Cedar Point's 150 Years), program guide/map, King Crown hat, 50th Anniversary schedule card and finally my Kings Island 50th Anniversary Birthday Bash button.... I put my Kings Island 50th Anniversary Birthday Bash button/pin on my Orion lanyard last week and it's still there with me.

Yes, finally about time.

I will be there next week.....with my friend... See you inside the park next week for the big party!

Just about everything related to Kings Island's 50th Anniversary Golden Celebration Season......I'm definitely excited but looking forward to it.. Second of all, I know Kings Island has a lot of planning to do this year.... I am hopeful Kings Island will have 50th Anniversary stuff ready for the passholders in the next couple weeks....and I would love to add more buttons/pins once again this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if I see something like this...... Despite the fact that, I've already ordered my new 2022 special 50th Anniversary park map (two of them) for Kings Island through Guest Services so they're waiting on them right now but they will update with me when I hear from them in my future email so I know what's going on with it....

Agreed....I'm glad that Cedar Fair is staying put for good!! And what's more is that Cedar Fair Parks already made the right decision and the right choice to say a BIG FAT NO to Sea World/Busch Gardens offer to takeover the Cedar Fair parks.... I'm proud of Cedar Fair parks are doing the right thing to reject Sea World/Busch Gardens's offer... That fact.

ProjectSoul.....Hmmm...sounds about right....It seems that most Cedar Fair employees (including those at Kings Island) got them...... It would have been nice if the passholders were getting that.

Yes, I will do that in a couple weeks...so I can be able to celebrate my 50th birthday (golden). My reviews from 2018 & 2019 for Winterfest has been outstanding and I do expect the 2021-2022 Winterfest to stay the same like 2018 and 2019.... I will shoot a photo of my birthday button in 2 weeks....

Yeah, I'm thinking about coming up to Kings Island (Winterfest) for my 50th birthday in a couple weeks....

Yes....good thinking. Would love to see a redesign of what Kings Island will look like.

Yes, The Beast is getting new track work to make sure every ride goes smoother and less jerky.... I am sure it is going to take a while to get it back where it needs to be.
