I did notice that the "service fee" is zero, which leads me to believe that at one point that may have been $5 and the printing fee was zero.

...that KI charges $5 for the privilege to print your tickets at home?

Spambot?

I see two problems: whenever the system goes down, the park stops making money... even if it's only for a little while (every time something was down for a "little while" at KI it was always like 30min...) it might make people decide that they don't need to get that drink anyway, so the park will lose revenue on that. Also, since their main marketing push is "you won't lose your cash", what if you lose the card...? Oh, and if you don't spend all the money on it, can you get a refund for the remaining balance? I see no problem with this if it's an option, but it's stupid to require it.

In before "KI promotes violence".

How absolutely tragic. I think I may cry.

So what happens when the system goes down?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of a park doing. Yes, let's make it more difficult for the guests to spend money in the park. That's a good idea!

That's because the food employees have very little knowledge of the food that they sell.

Aren't the hot dogs at Jukebox Diner all beef? I can't remember anymore.

I'm surprised they haven't stopped letting passholders reenter. I'm fairly sure that it'd be easy with the system they use...

For some reason, I doubt this event attracts the best clientele to the park...

Oh, god.

Countdown until OTSRs are installed...

I always found it ironic that people who asked for no ice in a Coke probably would have gotten more soda if they had just gotten ice. I usually tried to be nice and get rid of at least some of the foam, but when it's busy we really don't have the extra time to spend doing that. Was, but I got some sense and quit a few weeks ago. Life's been a lot better since...

I believe corporate has probably vetoed Haunt ideas before...

If Kings Island management didn't want the ride's future to be hinted at, that prop wouldn't be there. Just sayin'.

Bring profitable attractions to all the parks. What a bad idea. Better get the memo out to Disney, a lot of their parks have those castle things...

And you get a full 20 oz. of liquid instead of 8 oz. of liquid and 12 oz. of ice. The old red and white cups were actually 22oz, if you looked at the inner rim of the bottom it said 22oz, anyway. I feel like this is a good time to point out: if you ask for "no ice", you're going to get a lot of foam, because the ice makes the drink foam up less (don't ask me why) and the person getting the drink isn't going to spend lots of extra time making sure you're not getting a lot of foam, especially with Coke, which foams by far the most.

Outer Hanks fries are SOOOO good if you ask for a little extra seasoning on them (they should be able to do that if it's not extremely busy), especially if they're right out of the fryer. Other food related notes: 1. Half Sprite, Half lemonade. Only thing I drink there, but make sure the lemonade is put in first. It makes it less fizzy if they put in Sprite then lemonade. 2. Yes, your 2000 Son of Beast cup can still be used. Cups from other parks technically can't be used, but a lot of the employees don't know that and they'll fill them anyway. 3. It surprises me how many people don't know they can get a souvenir cup refill of ICEE at the places that sell just red/blue flavors (Coney Refreshments, Subway, that place in Planet Snoopy). It's $3.18 but soooo much more refreshing than a soda refill. 4. You can refill pretty much anything with water, but please don't bring a gallon jug, and if you do, don't get mad when you get a huge eye roll. 5. If you get food and there's something missing/something wrong with it, PLEASE tell the food people. They can't do anything about it if you don't tell them, and most of the time it's a mistake caused by being tired and/or giving someone the wrong food, so don't get mad, it's usually an honest mistake. 6. Jukebox fries are amazing, and the container you get them in is slightly bigger (if filled properly) for the same price as other places. (unless something's changed, they're served in a regular container instead of a cup) 7. 20oz drinks are 4 cents cheaper at a cart than at a fountain drink location.

Was it the green Haunt souvenir cup? Those cost more than the trick or treating does...

It's employee parking, not guest parking. No wonder so many of them pull in that entrance the rest of the year...
