Just won the contest tonight!!!! Looks like a mini beast train. Excited to see what it looks like!

Most of you are missing the whole point.

I wasn't even going up the hill yet when I put the phone away. Didn't think it would be such a big deal before the ride basically even started. In the original post, I stated that I put the phone away as soon as I heard him the first time which was before the hill after that little curve in the beginning.

So I was riding Beast about to go up the hill and I was responding to a text message .. All of a sudden I hear out of the speaker from a ride op to put my phone away..I promptly put my phone away as soon as I heard..All of a sudden, the car stops at the beginning of the first hill and the guy walks out to grab my phone from me. He asked me rudely to give him my phone. I told him I had no idea that it was a rule and I put it away as soon as I heard. He then wanted to cop a little attitude and yell for the phone saying it is Ohio law to be using a cell phone during the ride and if I didn't give him the phone he was going to get security and kick me out of the park. I then proceeded to give him my phone because I wasn't going to get involved with something so stupid like that. For an employee to be so rude to a guest is unacceptable. After the ride was over, there was a security guard waiting for me..He said because it's private property, the employees choose who stays and who goes regardless and they can't control what their employees do. MAKES SENSE RIGHT? (sarcasm) Anybody ever had a problem like this before? Never had a problem with a phone on a ride or an employee in general.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I did the 0 on the phone line and it just kept me on hold the whole time. Not sure what was going on there today that they couldn't answer my phone call. I planned on going up there Friday so I'll just figure out then.

Since the Kings Island phone operators don't ever pick up and I can't seem to get a hold of them I thought I would ask on here first before making a trip up to KI. Anyways, I bought a gold pass last year and misplaced it after the season thinking I didn't need it anymore. When I go to renew online for 2011 , it says I need a card number and obviously I don't have that. Is there a way I can get the renewal price still? I'm thinking they could look up my information when I go up there, and they'll just replace the card. Any help? Thank you!

Sorry about late response but I did get a ride home from the girlfriend's dad that night..They let me keep the car in the parking lot over night and I went to go pick it up the next day..Luckily I had a spare key at home.

I think a lot of September weekends are mostly just filled with local people and pass holders..Everyone is done with summer in September, kids back in school, etc..

I've never lost anything on Diamondback the previous 20 times I have rode it so I thought some keys wouldn't be a problem.

I was at Kings Island a few days ago and I lost my keys on Diamondback which included my car key so I had no ride home after losing them..What really disappointed me was that none of the staff really tried to look for them..Yes I know there are signs all over the park about not being responsible for lost articles..But seriously keys that are lost when I told them I had a pretty good idea where they had dropped..I was sitting by lost and found for about 2 hours after the park closed when they finally came up to me and said they had found nothing which meant they found NOTHING at all not even phones, keys, cameras or anything..I asked one of the ride ops how they go searching for stuff late at night and said they just walk around with no flashlights or anything..Didn't really make sense considering there are no lights around the back half of Diamondback..Just thought I would get some of your opinions on here.

Thinking about going for Halloween Night..Trying to get away from all the trick and treaters and all that..Can we still get in with our 2007 season pass?

Noooooooooo...Not Days of Thunder..

Club Blood sounds pretty sweet...That is probably going to be the first one I'll be going to... The Dead Awakening also sounds interesting...Not sure which theater is the Showplace Theater though...Any help guys?

Well I'm 16..Only about 5'7..It was just mostly my head..Just kept bouncing back and everything..Never felt that way before.. Well yeah..It was never as bad as yesterday though..

I'll keep that in mind..Thanks..Yes I did ride in 7-2

I figured..But I wanted to do whatever my brother did since he doesn't live here in the area anymore..I hardly ever go way in the back for roller coasters like this..I'm usually towards the back but not all the way in the back or in the front seat.

So I decided to go to Kings Island yesterday with my brother and mom..Me and my brother arrived there at about 11 and my mom came to meet us at about 3 30..It was crowded during the first couple of hours but then it got less and less crowded as the day went on.. We first rode Son of Beast..Didn't seem any better to me without the loop..Was still really shaking..Didn't really like it all and gave me a headache Then went to Top Gun..One of my favorite rides there..We rode in the very front which is one of the best seats on any ride in the park..That ride was a blast as always Next up was Delirium...Line wasn't that long..About 20 minutes or so..Enjoyed it We then went to Coney Mall and rode The Racer backwards..This also seemed very rough.. Went to ride White Water Canyon and got drenched as you can imagine..It did feel good though considering how hot it was We then went to ride Vortex..Line didn't take long..Only about 5 minutes and rode it in the back..This also seemed very rough.. Me and my brother then went to do the 3 point contest..We did alright and won a small prize..I swear their rims are messed up We then went to go meet up with my mom and we decided to go on the Scooby Doo Haunted Castle thing..One of our flashlights would not work so only 2 of them we could use..Another one was pretty messed up to which sucked because we couldn't even really play Then we decided to have some lunch at LaRosas which is always good even though the high prices Next, we did the Spongebob 3-D which was pretty fun...Needs to be longer though Now here comes the fun...We then decided to go wait in line for Firehawk..It was about an hour wait or so..I really liked how they put in the misters though..Really nice addition..So were about to get on and all of a sudden some people cut right in front of us because they were in the handicapped line I guess one of the ladies could hardly walk..There were 4 of them so they took up the whole car..It really got me in a angry mood because I think that is the dumbest rule to let handicapped people go in front of everybody without waiting in line..If they're handicapped they have no reason to be riding..We then got on after though and it was a blast..It was the 2nd time I rode it and the first time for my brother and my mom..They loved it..Defintaly worth the wait Next up we rode Vortex again and it still seemed rough..I was really dissappointed.. The Beast was next and I think it was worse than ever..Rode in the back and I thought my head was going to explode.. We then decided to ride Face-Off for the last ride..Great ride as usual..Pretty much a walk-on too! Overall, I had some fun..I don't know what is up with some of the coasters though..It might just be me or a lot of them are getting rough and shaky..I think it was because we sat in the very back most of the time..But The Beast, Son of Beast, Vortex, Racer were all rough on me..Any ideas on why?

I'm about 15-20 minutes away..I live in Fairfield

Put the loop back in.

I'm not even worried about low attendance..That just mean less wait for me

If you need a ride then I can probably take you man..I'm probably gonna end up going..

Glad you have fun..I really like how KI is handling Firehawk this year..The crew seems to be working hard and they keep you entertained while you wait..Is it just me or is that the only ride where the crew is like actually active and seem like they're having fun? I wish they could do that with all the coasters and stuff..Makes the wait go a lot shorter I think.

Guys, I'm scared

I'm pretty sure it wasn't..I might be wrong though..Sorry I don't know a lot of information

Nope. Didn't get to that. My uncle wasn't having a very good day so we didn't stay too long. Hopefully I can go again soon. It seemed to be shut down to during parts of the day mostly in the morning.
