Thank you all for your response. Interpreter,I want to esp.thank you for the address. Your posts are one of the reasons I visit the site so much. I just want someone above Katie, and her co-workers to understand. Katie told us several times last night that she was the "highest" person we could talk to. Yes I did mean 5/22 I was so angry when I was typing last night... We did fill out an incident report. We actually had to ask for something, because we felt the issue would be swept under the rug. It took Katie 7 minutes to get a xerox of it. Again thank you for your help. Sean

I don't post much on this site, but I lurk almost everyday. I live outside of Chicago, and have made a trip to KI almost every year for the past 4 years. I'm so disgusted with the park that I'm writing this from my hotel. I'm hoping someone on this forum will be able to help me contact the right person to rectify a bad situation. Today the park was packed, the ASA Sport..etc, but I will say the lines were moving pretty well. While waiting on Diamondback a male teen decided to cut from the single rider line into the regular line, probably because he saw that line was moving faster? Then he proceeded to push his way to the front of the line. When he was there he was granted a first seat. When I asked if I could have a first seat I was told that I would have to sit in the thirteenth row. I was a little mad, but the ride was enjoyable. Later while waiting in line for Back lot there was a teen girl who cut her way to the front of the line. I'm a not a person who likes confrontation, so I just let it slide. My friend was starting to become annoyed. We headed over to get some Blue Ice Cream in Action Zone. This was a total utter joke. The girls "working" the counter were too busy chatting with each other to focus on their jobs. It took them 10 minutes to get me an ice cream. The scenario was: Visiting with each other/ Can I help you/ Visit some more/ Ask me what I needed again/Take my money/Visit more/Then ask me a third time what I ordered. At this point I was ticked. I bought a two day pass, drove 250 miles/paid for a motel for three day for this. We proceeded to get in line for Son of Beast. Some one wants to pass us. My friend becomes very angry and says no. The person trying to cut in front of us has a group (6+ people) that see a an argument is breaking out. They come towards us, I tell my friend to just let him pass. I was worried about getting jumped at this point. At this point we were on the stairs going up to the station. I'm in my late 30's and my friend in his early 40's. This was a group of young hostile men and women. I was scared. When we got up to the station I got the attention of the attendant. I refused to get on the ride. I told the attendant I wanted security to escort me to Guest Services or the gate of the park, as I felt unsafe. The attendant quickly had security come, and "Katie". Katie works in guest services, or is a Manager...but would not give us her exact title, name, or name of her boss, as "she did not feel she needed to". At this point security has the group. There were people in the line who were thanking us for turning them in. My friend asks Katie if they are going to be kicked out of the park. She responds "NO, but security has warned them to leave us alone" Katie offered my friend and I a free pass to the front of the line of any ride we want. My friend said he wanted a refund on his ticket. I said I want nothing from the park except to be escorted out, as I didn't feel safe. I also told Katie if I wanted this kind of treatment I would have saved myself $500.00 plus dollars and what will be close to 500 miles of driving, and went to Six Flags Great America. I explained how my friend and I really used to enjoy the park, the atmosphere..etc. I asked her why my friend and I were being treated so poorly for defending our place in line. I asked her why her staff was not enforcing line jumping rules. She said she'd mention it to them. At this point my friend wanted nothing to do with Katie. I wanted nothing to do with KI. My friend went into guest services to complain only to find Katie there, telling her co workers "those are the two I was just telling you about". My friend starts explaining to one lady what happened, and RUDELY asked him why a 37, and 42 year old felt threatened by a group of kids. SERIOUSLY... this kind of treatment goes beyond words. If I had this work ethic I would be embarrassed of myself, and can honestly say i would not be employed. Does anyone on this board know who I contact? I want nothing from the park. I don't even want an apology. Will I return for the second day of my pass? Possibly, only because I paid for it. Will I spend a single cent inside the park? No Will I buy an memento's? I might buy a Kings Island T Shirt which I'm thinking of altering. I'm thing I'll write "Where line jumping is completely acceptable, Where else" I got really sunburned while I was there today. I stopped at a Walgreens to get some Aloe. The sales clerk asked me where I was. I told her. She asked if it was. I was very honest. A couple of people were tisking. Word of mouth can travel. Will it crush ans empire? Doubtful, but it makes people question if they want to spend their coins there.

http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Peter-Gabrie...8969&sr=1-2 Listen to Lazarus Raised, or Of These Hope. The music wasn't playing inside the ride, or even inside the indoor queue area. It was right outside of the the cave entrance.

The first time I rode TRTR was 2007. As I was standing in line, right outside the cave entrance, they were playing (very faintly) a track from either the The Last temptation of Christ, or the Passion Sources. I remember because I hadn't listened to the soundtrack, or Source CD for years, and at first I thought it was Dead Can Dance..laughs. I'm at work now so I cant say with certainty what track it was, but if I think about it later I'll try to identify what track I remember hearing. Once inside the cave the music went to a sort of tribal percussion track.

What flavor is blue ice cream? Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone! I'm excited about seeing the Park again. The last time I was there was when King Cobra was a new ride. The Beast was closed that day and I've been looking forward to riding it ever since.

I have plans to visit the Park on Saturday. I'm driving from Chicago. After reviewing the weather forecast there's a chance of a thunderstorm. Does anyone know how much of the park closes during a rainstorm? I dont want to cancel my trip, but..... Thanks in advance.
