KI FANATIC 37

I saw that. Hopefully it’s not what it looks like, but i wouldn’t be surprised. Since 2018. That would be a net negative 2 rollercoasters for Kings Island (not counting SSBR). Not a good look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On an unrelated note, Pantherian opened this afternoon after being down all season, and no announcement on social media advertising its reopening. What kind of PR is that? Truly pathetic.

I am not complaining. Frankly for the consumer, seems like a no brainer. But it does concern me that the company felt that this was the best decision financially. How bad were estimates for next year looking on their end?

I have seen online (and some teasing through Six Flags social media), that Kings Dominion and likely other Six Flags parks will be including the "all parks passport" to their 2026 season passes. I would assume this will be rolled out to all parks in the coming weeks to try and get season pass sales up for next week. Thoughts? Honestly, I thought the All Parks Passport was a steal this year, and it seems like an odd finanical decision to me. Maybe this is a sign they saw the writing on the wall that season pass sales were going to be poor for next year. Here is the tweet from Six Flags and Kings Dominion. https://x.com/KingsDominionVA/status/1948429607171965022

This has happened to me in seasons prior and I just say nicely “you need to give me the other cup” and I’ve never had an issue. I’m not going to a different place when there are cups right in front of me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took my 4th trip to Kings Island this evening. With all the talk about the merger, the only difference I have noticed is the wait times at food restaurants have been worse. No issues with rides stacking, cleanliness, etc. I’ve been overall pleased with my experiences so far this year for the price I pay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone closer to KD heard anything about when Pantherian will open? I was planning a trip out there since i never have ridden I305 and I wanted to try out Rapterra. Its a shame its still not open.

I was younger when Diamondback opened and i remembering getting so excited in 2009/2010 when I saw him lapping it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually really like the BBLT from Brewhouse. Basic but good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s sad to hear. I wish him all the best in regards to his health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whatever happened to the guy that marathoned Diamondback when it opened? I remember Don would share his ride counts on social media. Gary something? Does he still frequent the park?

Currently at the park this evening for an evening trip and have to complement all the ride ops. Everything is moving great and not stacking. Great evening to be here!

I find it much more enjoyable to lap Diamondback over Orion. I think im only at 45ish for Orion, not much at all. From my experience, i feel like Diamondbacks operations are so much slower than Orion and always has a longer line which makes it harder to lap.

@BoddaH1994, I do not know you personally, but coming from someone who is a casual fan of Kings Island and rollercoasters, all of your posts as of late seem to have one purpose: to go at the park and constantly say negative things about their PR or operations. ON this site, we often voice our frustrations to certain users who always come to the parks aide (even when times they shouldnt), I see no difference with what you are doing here. I see your posts as forcing a narrative on the people on this website to try to prove a point. That being said, you have every right to voice your own opinions, but at some point, it does come off as beating a dead horse. I do not know what your end goals are here. It seems that you are much more upset about this than anyone else (including Don). I mean no ill will towards you at all, I just wanted to voice how your posts over the past few months have brought quite the negative outlook on the park.
