Man, seeing Adventure Express get this much love… I can’t wait until it opens! I hope we see the return of the Station Master voiceover in the queue.

Per Facebook: What do you think? Legitimate?

I remember her! Such a shame.

Love the old logo!

I spent a lot of time during my teenage days running around the park and having a great time. When my friends and I were old enough to start driving, the park was one of the first places we went. We never had, nor did we encounter, any issues. Quite literally some of the best memories of my life. It’s a shame that younger guests won’t be able to experience that for themselves. That said, this is an absolute unfortunate necessity. In a post COVID world a lot of people (regardless of age) take to acting like idiots as default. We’ve all seen it the last few seasons. It’s a shame. I don’t envy the park for having to enforce this, but it seems like the right call. I’d rather have something in place like this than something reactionary. Not sure how this will work, but I’m hoping for the best for everyone involved.

They typically open (what’s left of) the park around Memorial Day weekend. Looks like passholder preview is in 5/26. Enjoy it while you can!

I’m regards to the landscaping… Isn’t it typically sparse this time of year? As spring progresses into summer/daily operations, the landscaping work tends to expand quite a bit.

“You’re not her boyfriend, you’re her uncle.” Heard a grown woman say this to a child yesterday. No context. No explanation. Glad to be back in the park!

Cheers.

I’d still love to the park find a way to sneak another flat in Oktoberfest. It deserves some love!

I’d certainly hope it wouldn’t be as screen heavy as Berry Tales. A lot of the charm of the original ride was due to the nature of its physicality. Real sets, real props, real characters. Toy Story Mania tech is already dated. The shooter style dark ride is even more dated. The majority of the most popular dark rides lack any kind of shooting element. It’s not necessary. (I agree with you, though. That would be the most likely scenario. That said… I hope not)

Man, I can’t wait to have a frozen cocktail and ride the train.

I don’t know about the movies, but they sure took advantage of those poor phantoms who were just trying to make it in show business.

Per Reddit. Yeah, yeah grain of salt… I hope this isn’t true. That’s quite a hit the the lineup.

Looks like it’s official. Grain and Grill! https://local12.com/news/local/kings-island-adds-new-restaurant-2023-mason-ohio-cincinnati-amusement-park-chef-joseph-perez-food-grain-grill-enriques-mercado-adventure-port?fbclid=IwAR17iXF2MPxrSuqzFdjOj2ROaDG3JaWWboSIPCPVN9PIyiUXUtzuZL61KHk

+ Boo Blasters. That was looking pretty rough towards the end of last summer.

Okay. Chill. Hypothetically speaking, if they were to allow POV’s then it would have to be clearly defined as other parks do. Also, I don’t think “problems would happen” given the fact it’s allowed in many circumstances outside of Cedar Fair. I personally don’t care either way, but obviously guests do or this thread wouldn’t have been created.

I guess it comes down to why POV’s aren’t allowed. Is it because they just don’t want guests to film on rides? Or is it because of safety? Since it seems like a safety issue, I don’t see why a GoPro/360 camera would be an issue (as long as it’s secured safety). A lot of other parks are okay with it. It just needs to be clearly defined.

Grow up. You can’t just make unverified claims and present them as fact.

I’d love to see your source for this.

Good to hear and congrats to her! Should be a great summer!

Definitely Phantom Theater. But the Eagles are a close second. I still hold out hope that those tubs with make it back to KI eventually. Oh, and those blue phantoms too.

I don’t know. It’s occupies a lot of real estate (much of it being wasted). I’d rather see that area redeveloped to bring a bit of “park” back to the park. Between the OG cars and the loss of Swan Lake, that area has changed a lot!

I know!

Looks great. The culinary options at the park have certainly been killin’ it as of late. Can’t wait!
