And here we go.

Snoopy's Soap Box Racers brought to you by Sonder.

Never said it was irresponsible or incompatible. I was not in favor of when Paramount banned alcohol in the park in the past. I just believe in everything moderation. It's not my faith in the park that is in question, but rather some of the people who attend it. I have observed people leaving 21 and colder drinks half full outside the entrance to a ride. Anyone could just go by and grab it. My point simply was there are now more places to buy alohol in a park than ever and they keep adding family freindly attractions. The more alcohol in a park, the greater the chance under age people will get ahold of it. Can you imagine the press when a under age person gets hurt and explains that they got the liquer from a park employee that didn't check or failed to identify a fake id? That happens enough times we'll be back to banning alcohol in the park again. I thought the whole reason for the no re-entry policy during haunt was so people wouldn't go out to their car/get drunk and re enter. Now it seems that the just want people to pay their upcharge prices for alcohol. I don't mind that you want to make money of liquer but if you're going to have more places that serve during Haunt then maybe make the event 21 and older. I may be a little sensitive to people getting drunk in parks living through Tower Johnny and the Flight Commander incident. In conclusion, I'm not really in favor of something that uses employees in a time when they are hard to come by. I'd rather see a drink/Icee stand, food stand or a ride open than a 5th place to buy alchol because of the chase for the all-mighty dollar. But that's just my 2 cents.

Completely amazes me that a park that keeps adding "family friendly attractions" keeps insisting on increasing the amount of alcohol consumed in the park. Don't care which way they go, just pick a lane and stay in it. Nothing like kids spending the day with "drunk uncle"

Chef's Plate This Sunday, August 25th at 5pm! https://x.com/KingsIslandPR/status/1826349077816135932 "Grilled Butcher Steak" Roasted Garlic Potato Cakes Cracked Pepper Aioli Sweet and Spiced Carrots Way to go culinary team! Looking forward to it!

Faster for me. Seems to have worked here.

Same here (and I check daily )

I, for one, have no problems with the smaller cup and no lid. The lid is just one more thing I'll throw away and I can always get another one in 15 minutes. My grandchildren and I are truely enjoying the Icee option this season and get one every visit.

I may be wrong but Skyline and Panda Express are operated seperate from KI themselves. I heard the decision to go from 2 entrees to 1 for the dining plan was done by Panda Express, not KI.

I did as well. Nice portions on each. Also Chef Major blessed us with his presence

I think GC will be around for a while. This year they actually have more beads, tinsel around windows (from what I can tell), reported IS lights synched with the parade stop, etc. This event is a very low cost since most of the decorations/floats are already made. The only new costs are the food (which are recooped at a profit) and a couple of kids crafts. Bottom line is there is always a buzz about it and it gives people a reason to re-visit. But that's just my 2-cents, I could be wrong.

Went tonight and after a 2 year hiatus the Chef's Plate did not dissapoint! Got in line about 4:45 (line was at the first Starbucks door) and 10 minutes later, the line was to Grain and Grill. I don't like tomatoes but these were very good. The crab cake stole the show and the steak was tender. (The line even started moving 5 minutes early). Chef Perez said they will have one more next Tuesday and that will be it since Carnivale will be starting. (P.S. They have already started decorating for Carnivale!) Kudo's to Chef Perez and the entire Culinary Team. I for one appreciate the effort! Now if I could only get the Merchandising team to make a "Plate like no other" shirt

Announcement just made that all rides ahould be operational in an hour (1pm).

Park is experiencing an extensive power outage. No rides going and they evaded people off the hill if The Beast. WindSeeker was stopped about 50 feet up. Reastraunts and other powers fine. Started around 10:45.

I may be mistaken but I do believe there is razorwire on the top of the fence in the parking lot in front of Congo Falls/Invertigo.
