Backlot has a full queue.

We can use this thread to talk about general 2022 discussions.

Be patient as you come in. The card scanning is very slow.

Going to be a busy one!

A little busy already!

Yes it is.

Kings Island crews are putting the final touches on the park before its 50th Anniversary Season kicks off this weekend. Workers are busy decorating, testing rides, painting, stocking shelves, and more – all to get ready for guests on Saturday who are coming to the park to get their first rides of the season on Orion and their first tastes of the park’s famous blue ice cream. Details about the 50th Anniversary Season are available on Kings Island’s website at visitkingsisland.com. Add your name to our roll call list and join KICentral for a picture under the Eiffel Tower on opening day 4/16/22 at 1:00 PM! https://kicentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/40430-opening-day-and-preview-night-roll-call-2022/ (You must be logged in to kicentral to see the list.) Don Helbig puts together a history timeline of Kings Island with a quote from KICentral's Indyguy4KI: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2022/april/a-look-back-at-50-years-of-fun-and-memories-at-kings-island Here is a look at the work going on at the park this week to prepare for opening day!

With the changes to Sweet Spot this year, and other anniversary food items, the 2022 season is sure to be a great year in the foods department. at Kings Island. We will use this thread to discuss and review food and beverage for 2022 season. KIC looks forward to seeing your food pics and reviews in this thread!

Sometimes a surprise, when you walk into the park, is nice. That might be why the webcams are not active on the KI website yet. I know we are all chomping at the bit, but let's save some mystery for opening day!

Unless there is land clearing and is blatantly obvious, I would assume anything new would not be teased until passes start going on sale for 2023. I don't think they will want to take away from the 50th-anniversary celebration.

@malemis very excited about the weather. I bet he has his shorts and KIC Tshirt ready.

I actually love the banner. I hope they do full banners in the future instead of multiple smaller ones. It gives the entrance a lot more sleeker look in my opinion.

That is with fast lane!

Please use this thread to update wait times for the 2022 season! Please remember a ride going down is normal and it's okay to report, but please don't post "Riders are stuck on the lift hill of DB." A vague statement like that is not helpful and that is when the media starts calling the park. We can not wait to get the 50th Anniversary season underway in 2022! The KIC Admin looks forward to seeing everyone at the park on Season Pass holder day and opening day next week. The KIC Admin Team

I agree. That is a gorgeous picture.

They are replacing the skeletons FD with real people? In all seriousness, the train needs its own firefighters?

I wonder how that will work as a show? Sounds like a lot of costuming for it!
