I would hate for this to happen, I as an avid Kings Island visitor along with my younger sister would be shut out from visiting the park together as I am between 18 and 20 years old, (Meaning I could come in but cannot be a *Chaperone*). The lack of such a system is why I love Cedar Fair parks. My hope is that this is just something mean't just as a band aid solution for Knotts, rather than a stepping stone for other parks in the chain, my assumptions are that since Knotts is located in California they naturally have higher operating costs such as staffing. With the recent events taking place there then likely adding more security is not economical so this decision was likely the only solution they could do for the time being. Again, all just my assumptions.
