Welcome to KIC msm2009! This is the Embassy Suties in Cincinnati, who apparently have jacuzzi's. If the Reds are in town this hotel option could be more crowded because of the location, but are around places like Newport on the Levee, which provides some fun things to do.

This has already been posted here. It's a good video though.

I think this might be a good idea as long as the participant is informed that they will be receiving a deflated ball. I could imagine KI getting some complaints over winning a deflated ball if an inflated ball is displayed. Even though inflating a basketball is not rocket science, it does take away from the allure of winning a prize, I think.

That article was written really good.

They aren't going to have it completely finished by opening day. This is from a 5@5 question:

With the additions of Planet Snoopy and Boo Blasters, as well as Diamondback I would imagine it most likely would be pretty busy. I went last year and it was busy for Diamondback, but unfortunately I can't recall how the rest of the park was, sorry. The weather forecast is calling for chilly temps in the morning though, so it could be a little less crowded then.

I wonder why they offer both designs? My only thought is it would save money for the parks not to issue new passes to people renewing, which harldy seems reasonable. Frisbeefan, here is my take on the situation. If you noticed the advertisements for Platinum Passes in the past, they all had the same design on them, the one I mentioned with the Delirium looking ride on it. My thought is that these are passes they have accumulated over the years and they are trying to get rid of them and usher in the new designs on the passes, the ones with all the rides on them and the park logo in the bottom corner. That makes sense, but it's still puzzling as to why some people get the new design without asking, like I received, and others get the old design. I would think if they are trying to push out the old design they would issue those passes unless specifically asked otherwise. Just my thought.

There's a similar poll on KI's website: http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/fun/polls/index.cfm

I am too, I just hope that, if Cedar Fair does alter the ride, they don't by the middle of summer.

I don't think I even need to comment. 'Nuff said...

That's very chilling to read, I can't imagine what it was like being there at the park when that occured.

Cedar Fair (and many other parks) has this policy in place to prevent the same season pass or ticket being used by more than one person. Yes, season passes have photos, but that doesn't mean that the ticket taker is looking. I would think it would have to do with attendance figures also. With a season pass, that same person's pass would be scanned in multiple times during the day resulting in inflated attendance numbers. With each specific bar code being scanned it might not count it as another person, but you never know.

I really hope they don't make that addition to the ride and would think that they would have to adjust every ride that has made people "grey" or "black" out. I've had this sensation many times on Invertigo during the loop.

Thanks, I'm planning on going to KD in August, and I'm trying to figure out where to stay.

There is a picture of it here. This is what my pass looks like, however when people in my family processed their pass there's was the old style with Delirium on it.

Drop Zone 99: Did you stay at the Best Western Kings Quarters? If so how was it?

I like how the map shows the splashdown on BLSC

Row 16 is awesome. The first drop offers some amazing air, also the turnaround is great too in the back, very fast!!

I think the Jamboree is held for two weeks at KD, so I'm hoping that the crowds won't be too bad.

How busy is the park on those days? I'm planning a trip to Kings Dominion and the Boy Scout Jamboree is going on. Is it a waste of time to go there during that?

This is from a person on KD Fansite. That's pretty intense!

^ That's awesome, hopefully she will like BBoBH!

I like the new guy, he's funny and I think BBoBH will be a nice experience.

It's good to see it on the track again. I did see the other day some work being done to the splashdown area, hopefully cleaning will eventually be done.
