I don't remember but I think we had to pay for yearbooks when I was in high school.
But then again I hated my high school and haven't thought much about the stupid place in 10 years....to this day I don't find it deserving a dime. lol. Probably why I don't have hardly any yearbooks from it but I have a yearbook from every year when I was in elementary school.

^right. Platinum passes do not get you free admission to it. I think Scary Farm is actually worth paying for though. I've been enjoying it for several years now.

Then go. It blows KI's completely out of the water. Also check out Queen Mary and Universal while in SoCal for their events.

I like GhostRider. And coming from me should say something since I don't like riding coasters.
My last ride on it though (October 2014) gave me a headache. That ride is in a very good location for me....opposite side of the walkway from first aid.

I like the cat picture.
Knott's and Disneyland both are home to a bunch of cats.

I got a bad habit of counting calories and now I am for sure I am never going to touch a burger ever again. Yuck....I took one bite yesterday and saw the calories and threw the rest of it away.
Personally, I like LaRosa`s sauce. And Skyline.
But I absolutely love Dewey`s Pizza, which was created in Cincinnati, by the son of St. Louis Cardinals owner William DeWitt. Dewey`s blows away LaRosa`s and makes it seem like a bland pizza. Not to mention you get to see them making the pizzas and tossing the dough.
You get to do that at the Flamingo, I thought they were cool to watch.

Hmmm... Unless there's a secondary barrier (or a very specific and monitored protocol), this will probably change forms quickly after smart phones, selfie sticks, and pocket contents start falling into the water.
I sure hope so there is a secondary barrier of sorts. I feel bad for the sharks since they'll eat just about anything that'll fit in their mouth. SeaWorld typically ran into this trouble with the dolphin petting pools, aside from people grabbing at and teasing the animals, people were throwing coins and other unwanted objects into the water. Kai at SeaWorld San Antonio was a culprit of eating all those foreign objects to the point he was moved to the behind the scenes facility so the only way I could see him was to go on one of the tours. It is/was still a problem even after the petting pools were no longer a free for all and became much more heavily supervised, some people don't like it but it is a lot of the reason why it is so regulated now. Which is why I hope KI better have a good supervisory team on hand with the petting zoo...going by what I saw during Haunt I was not impressed when some of the smaller animals were trying to get away from the wild children grabbing at them.

According to the FAQ on the park's website:
Do you allow pets at Kings Island?
Only service animals are permitted in the park. Kings Island does not have pet care facilities on site; however, we encourage you to visit our nearby partner's facility, Red Dog Pet Resport & Spa.
KI-ORIG-EMP is not going to be happy about this...
Well..I am not either, so that makes two.

And the portion size declined drastically.
As the old man said to the Country Cafe owner, "Your food is terrible and the servings are too small!"
My only issue with Knott's idea of proportions is that each slice is too big but the taste is ok enough for me....just got to make sure I burn it off asap...that's where my laps around the park come in while taking pictures. But a Knott's pizza slice is like 2 slices of KI's cardboard pizza. Come to think of it the pizza slices served at the Flamingo in Vegas are large like Knott's slices but don't even taste as good.
Not a lot of foods I really like, even today the smell and sight of fries and burgers made me want to yak up my spleen. I ate a pickle at least. Coworkers, bf and friends are constantly trying to feed me something. I think the only theme/amusement park food I really enjoyed happened at SeaWorld and Dollywood.

I put ketchup on Fries, Burgers and Meat Loaf. That is it. The folks that eat it on everything, especially Eggs, make me ill.
Mayo is nasty. Nothing but a blend of fat and oil. It is great for removing grease/oil from the skin. Once had a Dr use it to clean a wound before stitching.
lol....and I can not stand fries, meat loaf or burgers, I think they taste awful. Not a ketchup person either. Bleh to all of it.
I guess there's a reason my closest friends and coworkers don't think I eat enough.
I am missing the grilled chicken sandwiches at Knott's at the moment...
and their pizza isn't too bad either..more flavor imo than KI's cardboard pizza.-

Very disappointed in Cedar Fair if this is true especially if the multiple ride removal is true. There was a time Cedar Point had the best of both worlds, seems like the family rides/attractions are primarily what been seeing their way out.
Amusement parks are meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not just thrill seekers.
I made my thoughts known elsewhere so here on this thread I will refrain.

There is far worse than Kinzel in existence, imo.
Looking at you Marineland Canada and your boss...

I took a look at the area on Google Maps, and it's right in the way of a potential path from Blue Streak to the Iron Dragon/Luminosity midway. Remove the Cedars dorms and Turnpike Cars (I don't think CP needs 3 car rides, so the turnpike cars could just move to the Cadillac Cars track and the Cadillac cars could be put in storage as backup for the Antique Cars) and reroute Perimeter Road and you have a nice bit of space for expansion, possibly with some room for a new coaster.
Another coaster? I hope not...not for several years.
The footprint is large enough for a compact coaster like Coast Rider at Knott's though. All the cool things that made CP special to me in my younger days still keep disappearing, (albeit it hasn't been the CP Cinema in a very long time but..) it almost makes me not want to go back to that park especially if the reason is just yet another coaster.

A musical revue by any other name is still a musical revue.
Wake me up when it's over.
I'd rather watch dogs sing. (And DID, at NJFTP-- Paw and Disorder, 2014--truly one of the funniest and best shows I've ever seen in a park--with birds, dogs, pigs, rats, peoples,...)
I'll join you Terpy

No Canyon Blaster/El Loco or Desperado? High Roller is an amazing sight at night...we had a gorgeous view of it from our room at the Flamingo last year.

Maybe OSHA doesn't inspect until a report or and incident occurs?
.
lol...See SeaWorld. OSHA didn't really give a flip until the 2010 incident (of course one of the people doing the investigations stupidly got herself involved with the Blackfish crowd)

Even though my dad owns 1,100 acres of farm land...I don't want a coaster.
A zoo be more awesome for me....but neither is feasible due to location.-

I gotten word that all 3 mimes at SWF, as well as the Pearl divers been laid off. Sounds like the A'lure show being done away with. :/
I am saddened by the cuts among the Ent department. For me personally, the SeaWorld/Busch parks have always been my favorite chain and recently the park experiences I get out of them is the closest thing to Disney without the insanely huge price tag. Their shows (not just animal related), their food, family friendly atmosphere etc..I don't even remember the last time I'd ever been 100% impressed with a CF decision. Believe me I would love to visit Disneyland each time I am in Cali but those prices scare me. I have to admit, the friendliest park staff, which also happened to be the cleanest park, that I been to was actually at SeaWorld San Antonio for 2014. (followed closely by Disenyland and Knott's)

It would be an absolute travesty to see either/both Busch Gardens in the hands of Six Flags.
I'd say the same about Cedar Fair.

Kings Island 7/2/14: The stolen phone
in Trip Reports

Honestly I don't even trust the lockers there at the park either. I've had my brother, jcgoble sit with my stuff before when I rode Banshee last (lol May of last year)
