10 PM closes are back at Kings Island. Here is a peak including the Area 72 Launch Party. How has your 10 PM close experiences been so far this season

The reresection of this thread inspired our latest YouTube video.

I am not sure how I feel about a SIX guy coming into SEA... They are night and day park chains.

I was hoping it was a fluke and they would fix it, but it has not happened yet. There has to be more than 5 or 6 calming songs. I would go to guest services and/or send an email to them to voice your concerns. Hopefully they will get a bigger playlist soon.

I'm not sure this is something I miss, but could always be heard halfway across the park. Son of Beasts anti rollbacks.

Their last post was Thursday and acknowledged it. Nothing wrong with that.

I whole hardly agree with this. I have developed lifetime friends and even meet my wife at Coasterstock. The ERT is nice, but not important compared to the relationships I have made. It also would not be the same if I did not get to ride with my wife and friends. Some of which I have not seen since the last Coasterstock. Even with covid, labor issues, and having a delayed date, the park was still willing to host us. That to me is also way more important to me than what is on the actual itinerary. Thanks for your willingness to make this happen Don.

Has anyone tried this?

Make them little UFO's. That would fit and be very fun.

The online calendar still says 10PM. We must be good.

Double post here, but this needed its own. I would like to take this opportunity to thank @DonHelbig for making this event happen this year. The few conversations I have had, I know he worked very hard to pull this off for us this year. Not only trying to find a working date, but all of the details that go into making such a big event. He could have just said we will try again next year, but he didn't. It is much appreciated to get us back to this awesome event.

Some people you just can't make happy. AE was on the list a few years ago. Maybe they are trying to to change it up a bit. The houses may not have proper ventilation to have us in there yet? I am very excited and looks like Don has us very busy start to finish.

Come on @gforce1994. Every time the park moves dirt, puts up a flag, mows the grass, or marks a tree for removal you jump right to a coaster. Let's expand our possibilities and include all ideas. That is what makes a discussion like this fun.

DB air horn.

That would be nice!

What a vague article. What ride was it? How did the boy fall? Why did the ride restart with him trapped. I have more questions that were not even addressed. I do hope they can save his legs and he can recover.

My goodness, how unexpected this must have been. Condolences to the family and all those affected.

Who got to try it today? I loved the little tins it is was served in. It was delicious!

Park is pretty busy today. Lines are not bad most big rides are 30 to 50 min.

Grand Carnivale is just around the corner at Kings Island. Grand Carnivale runs July 17 - August 1 (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun) 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM .

Floats are starting to show up at Kings Island for the 2021 season celebration. Which part of the celebration are you looking forward to the most?

At first glance, I thought the Diamondback logo on your shirt was her hair. It is always fun when they get off and want to ride again.
