  1. I don’t favoritism…as far as I’m concerned, it’s a money grab whoever does it…but no one tops Disney for grabbing.
  2. What am I missing? What are the possible large implications? How many people come to the park with 10 minors? How would they all even get there in one vehicle...legally? (Not counting a city bus.)
  3. First off let me say that I have no interest in Mr. Showalter one way or another….what he does or doesn’t do doesn’t effect my love for the park, with that said, I do agree with you, I am also shocked that this thread is still around…and the fact that it is seems kind of telling to me. If what the whistleblower is saying isn’t true I would expect one of two things to have happened by now….the obvious one is that Chad would have replied to the accusations and denied them…wouldn’t you have done that if it were you? After all it is not making either him or the park look good…why remain silent instead of setting the record straight….unless the record is already straight. Along those same lines, if the whole story is false I certainly think it falls into slander…so why hasn’t Chad threatened a lawsuit if this thread is not deleted? On a separate note, you seem to imply by the above quote that you know exactly who the whistleblower is….why not simply post your theory instead of being vague?
  4. I don’t think it takes an Einstein to realize that Whistleblower created an account to anonymously tell his/her story….so I hope you aren’t going to attempt to be shocked by this revelation. (I don’t think Woodward & Bernstein ever thought for one moment that Deep Throat wasn’t an alias. )
  5. But doesn't that mean the actual price of the food at the tipping restaurant isn't what it appears to be on the menu because they are expecting you to tip?
  6. I noticed today that when you go to the KIGear site you are forwarded to https://merch.cedarfair.com/ I am still happy that I can buy Kings Island stuff without going to the park…but wish I didn’t have to wade through all of Cedar Fair’s parks other merchandise. You can select a certain park…but once you do it, it is not listed from new to old…so if you want to see the New Arrivals you have to look through every parks new stuff. I’m also curious if everything ships from one centralized location now…or if shipping would be higher if you ordered 2 different parks merch?
  7. I’ve seen some new anniversary items posted for The Beast, Diamondback & Banshee that is for sale at the park posted by people on FB…also the new “I Rode It” 2024 pin series…but so far none of those have been listed on the KIGear site…but these were put up recently. Is this the new style lately? Are they supposed to look retro? The designs look dated to me…but of course so am I.
  8. @BB1 @chad_1138 Thanks for the pictures!
  9. Really nice stuff in there! I've never seen the canoes in action...it looked like a total free-for-all...I wonder if it was timed?
  10. The park really hasn’t been trying to hard to take my money lately on their site over the last few months…they really haven’t added much. I have been patiently waiting for them to add their new line of stocking caps that someone posted over on FB weeks ago…and yesterday they finally did! I love things like these that are park/ride specific. I checked the site in the morning and these weren’t up…and then a couple of hours later…and then they were…unfortunately The Beast with the pompom was already sold out! They are $24.99 each.
  11. I wonder why they felt a need to have a second Adventure Express poster? I think the first one was much nicer.
  12. I had been putting off buying The Vortex set, but once you posted that you purchased the last one I checked the KIGear site and found that they still offered them and quickly got one ordered…which arrived today…I am puzzled though…this set is advertised to be limited to only 250. Here is a photo of the box from the KIGear site: (Notice the Limited Edition numbering.) Here is the box that I received: (Notice no number.) So, I am puzzled, did they sell all of the original “limited” 250 sets and now are just making more?
  13. ^ At least it’s still 12…they haven’t cut any days out of IT yet.
  14. We purchased the Magic Band+’s for our trip in January earlier this year…unless they have perfected them since then they weren’t worth the extra money…you had to struggle BIG TIME to get them to work with the statues…and even when you got it to work the effect really wasn’t that much. We were disappointed after spending the extra money.
