I'm on my way to work right now. If you want any of them, let me know a.s.a.p.

All passes are no refunds, all sales final. The passes are "tickets" before being processed. These have not been processed yet You would hand these to someone for the forms to fill out the paper work for your season passes to be made.

I have three of them and I decided not to go this year so I'm selling them for what I paid for them. $80 each. I'll be busy working all summer, so perhaps I'll be able to enjoy the park next summer. Message me or post a comment. Update: 5/16/2013 ALL GOLD ADULT 2013 PASSES HAVE NOW BEEN SOLD THERE ARE NONE LEFT THANKS TO THOSE THAT BOUGHT THEM FROM ME Update: 4/23/2013 - 8:30am I live in the area, and could meet somewhere public like at a restaurant on a Saturday, to show the tickets before being paid for them. I can't get a refund for these because ticket sales at the park do not allow refunds. The non-transferable only applies to processed passes (with a photo and information), these are not processed yet! The passes are "tickets" before being processed. These are the tickets you hand in upon making your pass with a photo and information for your pass to be made. For those that know nothing about how season passes are bought and processed, here's how it works. 1. You pay for them, and they hand you tickets for them 2. You go to the season passes processing office and hand them the tickets, then they let you make a pass. The tickets for the passes can be bought at the gate or online, if online (names can be left blank) which I have done in the past, but these that I'm selling were bought at the gate on September 1st, 2012. They cost me $80 each, the current price is $105 each, so you save $25 a pass and I get back what I paid for them. They are gold, which includes free parking, so if you pay for parking to get into the park upon having these processed, save the parking receipt and take it with you and they'll refund your parking cost. The "no selling tickets in the park" rule is enforced so no one buys a hundred tickets and then stands next to their ticket booth selling them at cheaper prices to make a profit, I respect that rule and I understand why they have it. That's why I mentioned I could meet somewhere like at a restaurant. Plus I don't want to pay for parking when I'm not going to be going into the park. If you wanted to make sure these were valid, you could show me your money first, then I could escort you to the season pass office to have them made, and once made you could then pay me the money. There are no names at all attached to these passes. They each have their own bar code to be scanned and that's it! LAST UPDATE: YES, one person can buy multiple passes! People do it all the time for their family, friends, and co-workers. AND if the buyer had to have them made for them only, how would kids even be able to get their passes made? I thought everyone in this forum was a Kings Island fan! Doesn't anyone here know anything at all about Kings Island? I would have figured everyone here to already have hand fulls of season passes, and possibly be interested in my passes for additional friends and family. Sorry, but the stupid responses are getting old real quick. If you don't know something, just ask, or if someone told you something that you don't know much about, at least have the common sense to look into it to figure out the bigger picture on your own rather than being a robot and going by vague, unclear, face value information.

*feels soooo sad* Some time this month they said.... well it's now June! Looks like "WindSeeker" will become another non-operational ride like "Son of Beast"... The least they could do is turn on the darn lights at night and let us enjoy looking at it so it's not a total waste of space. I was checking the web cam page of ki daily for the last two months, but I give up, my prediction is it won't open at all this summer. If we are lucky, it might be working in time for Halloween Haunt! Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindSeeker All 4 Locations of WindSeeker are experiencing the same problems! I think the company that built the ride, built it with defects! If new parts need to be created, it could be another year before it will open!

This is still about opening day! and.... way29 mentioned line jumping in the 2nd post! My reply was to that Nice try in your defense of giving no answer, you trying to change the subject... However, I think you forgot way29 created this thread and I'm sure way29 would still like an answer........ Terp, is your answer "So what, too bad, and deal with it" ?

Terp, Are you defending line jumpers? You don't sound like you are enforcing any "NO LINE JUMPING" rules of the park! ... and since no one has ever seen this rule enforced, it is now being laughed at as a joke, and your post didn't help! At least I'm trying to think of a solution. Please, tell me how we are going to stop line jumpers other than having real police officers stand at the entrance of Diamondback! BTW, they didn't catch any either, I'm pretty sure!

Terp, now you sound like the police! I guess if a cop was doing something illegal and being filmed, you would also suggest that cop has the right to confiscate the camera filming them?

Anytime schools visit the park, line jumping happens constantly on every ride, all day long.... I would say at least once every thirty minutes for every ride. Last year I remember a time waiting for Flight of Fear when five kids jumped the line practically walking past the entire crowd in front of the UFO, and because they ended up in front of me, when I got to the coaster I heard several people tell on them. The entire ride was stopped while they looked for the kids but a positive identification could not be made of which kids so after ten minutes of looking for the kids while the entire ride was stopped, they let everything slide due to no evidence and those accused denying they jumped the line. However...... this gave me a great idea! Everyone has cameras that can film movies. So next time someone jumps line, have your camera handy and ready, and film them when they line jump. Then tell and show an employee, so that person that jumped the line get's kicked out of the park and if they have a season pass, they'll possibly have that shredded also!

Ride Warrior!!!!! And think of the backed up lines at the gate due to the extra time to search those shopping carts...this is not one of Ryan's better ideas. BavarianBeatle, the pic is a stereotype usually assumed by those consumed by greed of money. Homeless people do not look like this. They are not in the position they are in because of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, or mental problems. IN FACT they are homeless because they simply have no money! I've seen lots of hot looking females in their early twenties holding cardboard signs saying they are living in their car. FACE IT, if you had a million dollars to pay for a home in full, up front and in cash, it would still eventually be taken from you because the cities in which we live claim all property on which all homes are built actually belong to the cities and since all homes have pipes for water, sewage, and electrical lines, phone lines, and even sidewalks, and trash collectors......... the city will always own your home (even if you bought it and have it paid off), and the city will insist you pay property tax on it twice every year till you can no long keep paying them at which time your ass will be out on the street! standbyme, that was a terrible joke... I suggest everyone learn about money and how it really works before they make it the center of their world. Also, eating is an option! People DON'T HAVE TO EAT while at the park! Not in a 12 hour time frame! They can eat before and after at much cheaper places!

Sunday May 8th park will open at 10am and close early at 8pm also Boomerang Bay and Dinosaurs Alive will not be open yet Sunday June 19th park will open at 10am and close at 10pm Note: As always, the gold pass holder must buy the ticket at the park and show their gold pass at the time of purchase. If you have no one to take, then do a random act of kindness and volunteer to take someone less fortunate. Offer to take a homeless person, anyone you see holding a cardboard sign saying they are living in their car, or even check with various organizations that are intended to help people.

I'm trying to plan a visit to Kings Island for my company, and was thinking it would be nice to know the show times so I can plan for everyone to see Snoopy Rocks On Ice together and also meet in the Festhaus at a time before a show begins. All Show Times For All Shows Would Be Greatly Appreciated. Anyone have them yet? Please post... Thanks

I think this was more a consumer warning than anything else, such as if someone bought one of these and used it at home. Do you think heat from the sun plays a role in the possibility of suffocation though? And would this be better under shade from the sun, or in an air conditioned building? Also, does this seem like a Coney Mall thing, or should it be in the Boomerang Bay water park section of Kings Island?

I just saw this news article and thought I should share it with everyone. I haven't done this water walking ball thing yet, and I'm sure it's very safe, but after two incidents in other locations, everyone should be aware that children could have health conditions they are not yet aware of until they climb into one of these balls. After reading this article, post your opinions and suggestions. Personally, I think if the ride operators in charge of this attraction know all the dangers and know how to avoid them to keep it safe, I see no harm in keeping the water walking balls. (((BELOW IS THE NEWS ARTICLE)))

Yeah, Ohio Law, that's what I meant. Anyway, you should know where I got it from, the employees that ride you up the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower. They say no spiting or dropping anything from up there because it's against the law and it could kill someone. To clear this up, it'll have to be taken to the Eiffel Tower department. Perhaps it was a rumor created within their department from a belief without facts to back it up. However, by you saying spitting and dropping stuff from that height is harmless and won't kill anyone, wouldn't you be encouraging people to break the law? If it's against the law, it has to be for safety reasons.

Wow, Kevin Brunck the Area Manager of Live Entertainment wrote Hot Blooded and Way Too Much TV! Those shows were absolute crap. Any child could piece songs together and call it a show. Sorry, there's no talent there at all. The performers, singers, and dancers did a good job given the crap they had to work with and I felt sorry for them watching them perform such crap because I'm sure they thought they would be doing a real show when doing their auditions, but now I think we the people here at KICentral should start writing some real shows and submitting them for some season in the future. Average show length should be somewhere between 20 minutes to 40 minutes, let's get on it, let the show writing begin!

I had a thought earlier this week actually.... if it's a federal crime to spit off of the Eiffel Tower because one drop of spit could kill someone from that height, then how will riders with loose articles and riders vomiting on WS be dealt with when it is so close to the Coney Mall strip, The Racer, Action Theater walk way, and The Vortex exit? If one rider dropped just one pinny from a pocket, someone below could be killed. Just to be safe, blue racer for me from now on and I'll be cautions around WS, till I ride WS and see how they handle things.

They are advertising this attraction to be 12.5 wooded acres! This is very small, as anyone who may remember when Boomerang Bay first opened as Water Works (with only 6 water rides) was advertised as 30 acres, and only took several minutes to walk through it all. For more than 60 life-sized dinosaurs and 56 of them being animatronic models, I would imagine they will be very close together. So for a walk through this will be better for the younger kids that don't like to walk or stand too much. It would be cool if the park could somehow add real life actors to this, to maybe show how a meat eating dinosaur ate cave people or perhaps have the animatronic dinosaurs chase people and make it like an interactive stage performance set outdoors. Anyone with kids will see this at least once. I do have a few questions I would still like answered, and maybe they have the answers. If dinosaurs were real, why can't I dig one up in my own back yard and if all we have are bones to go by for information about what they looked like, then how do we know they all had reptile skin?

The haunt web site and the haunt guides in the park say The Crypt will run during the haunt, but every time I've been on Friday Night or even all day on Saturdays, it's always closed! So don't expect The Crypt to be running, even during early Saturdays when just about everything else is.

The list of rides he rode was just a list of what he rode for the first time, not all connected with the 48" height requirement. I just thought it would be nice to share with everyone all that he rode. Of course there's no height requirement for Eiffel Tower, but why would you take a kid up there to see all the rides in the park that they can't ride if they are under 48" tall? As for how most of you responded to what I had to say about Backlot Stunt Coaster, most of you sound like you either don't care because you are taller and it doesn't concern you or that you assume everything in life must already be the best it can be. If you want to talk ridiculous, what about the seat belts on The Race and The Beast? Well, they were added because of new safety requirements, and though they don't seem that important, the added seat belts on Vortex make the ride much safer! In the early 90's those seat belts weren't there. I guess with most of you all assumeing how safe everything must be, all of you would be the first to march right up and ride Flight Commander and do so repeatedly till Black Sunday! As for my comment about Surf Dog, I was being sarcastic to show how stupid the restraint system is on the ride. Instead of taking it word for word like a close minded person who can only perceive information at face value, I was hoping for some real answers and suggestions beyond the facts that I carefully presented. Drop Tower is very safe and very fun, my suggestion for this ride was to make it more enjoyable for smaller people which would increase park attendance! If they were to survey the smaller riders, they could find out if they need an added insert brace developed for the ride next year. Most people on this forum appear very young, thinking anything critical is negative. Feedback must be constructive, else nothing ever improves. Posting in this forum does more than going to HR or GR, and gets input from all employees and guests at the same time. Oh, and about the closing time. I know KI plans their entire schedule before they open for the summer. However, the answer not one of you gave was that... "Yes, every single time a ticket is sold, and every time a ticket is ready to be scaned at the gate, these employees should have to tell every single guest what time the park will be closing" oh...............and for the ride operators to wait till 6pm to tell people is pathetic, as most of the day will be gone by then.

Lucky for me I came earlier than I was going to. I would have been really mad if I bought the ticket at 5pm and only got 3 hours. Instead I came around 2pm and bought him a two day pass, glad I did that. However, when I was talking with other guests while waiting in lines for rides, some people told me employees told them the park closed at 10pm. This is a perfect example of how people get used to a pattern and then are thrown off. Not all employees knew about the time change.

Most of us (being adults / taller than 48") would not notice these, but I recently brought my nephew to the park because he is now 48 1/2 inches tall, and he wanted to ride all the rides that he couldn't before. He rode these for the first time. Eiffel Tower Congo Falls Flight Deck Drop Tower Adventure Express Racer Dodgem Sponge Bob 2D Vortex Backlot Stunt Coaster Beast White Water Canyon Surf Dog This was last Sunday when I bought his ticket around 2pm and the person selling tickets never said anything about the park closing early at 8pm. I thought it was very rude and unthoughtful not to be told this and would not have known if not riding the Eiffel Tower. Seems like the only employees that know anything at all are the Eiffel Tower operators. Why can't the ride operators do this? Example: How was your ride on The Beast? BTW, park closes at 8pm. How was your ride on The Racer? BTW, park closes at 8pm. Hope you enjoyed your adventure on Adventure Express! BTW, park closes at 8pm. Since none of the ride operators do this, just as the ticket sales don't before selling their tickets, I suspect the ticket sales of ripping people off! Back in the day every night the park closed at 10pm. If they need to cut hours to save money, they should open later, not close sooner! Alright, about the safety concerns regarding 48" riders. ------------------------------------------ Backlot Stunt Coaster has no padding inside the car on the right and left side. It does have the padded bars attached to the top, but a rider 48" tall or even a little taller is going to have their head thrown against the side where those two screws are because the top of their head will be under the height of the side of the car, meaning they will have their head thrown against that piece of hard plastic that has the two screws. Especially when in the tunnel at the end of the ride when the rider can't see what is going to happen and the coaster takes sharp turns. Note: the back of their head also rests on the white plastic under the head rest, so the area under the head rest should be padded also to make this more enjoyable for younger riders. ------------------------------------------------ Surf Dog has a single lap bar all riders in the same row shares! I am thin and sat in a row with all kids much younger than myself, but then the last person at the end was huge and had really big thick wide fat legs, leaving myself and the rest of all the kids in the row with us to ride the ride with the lap bar about 9 inches from our legs, making it extremely easy to fall out. My suggestion is that guests should be put in rows matched with riders of the same leg fatness. -------------------------------------------- Drop Tower having shoulder restraints that are to high for kids shoulders, it actually pulled him down by his legs. Seems like there could be an added feature to this ride to make it not so painful for kids, kind of like a booster seat, but instead of something to sit on, it could be something that rests between their shoulders and the over shoulder restraint so there isn't so much pressure on their legs when the ride drops.

I was in the park Sunday and it wasn't in 3D! I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet how Action Theater was originally set up to have two movies playing and to alternate between the two to keep the line moving. Funny how playing the same movie for so many years kind of killed the line wait for this ride, and yet the park owners never got the hint to replace the film, instead they gutted one side of the ride by building a haunted house inside the other theater that mysteriously never plays anymore! This would be about the same as if you had a favorite t-shirt that meant a lot to you, then decide one day you want to make a torch so you wrap that same t-shirt around a stick and lite it on fire! This alone tells me it may not be around much longer. I would love to see the building fully restored back to both movie sides working again, and with an all new film.

I did a search for Stratosoar and it looks like the company that was going to make it wanted to do individual seats held by chains and a simple swing lap bar. Other words, the seat would swing and twist all over the place which is very unsafe at such high altitudes, and really nothing to hold you in and make you feel safe, plus not that many seats means longer wait time to ride and less rides given in a day. Comparing these two, I am much happier with WindSeeker, mostly cause of the steel arms that will keep the seats facing forward and the better restraint system which will lock and hold you in. Oh, and also that two riders can ride side by side, much funner than swinging in the air by yourself.

This will be a great ride, as long as the restraints feel safe enough! Not as thrilling as Drop Tower, but just as thrilling for those who want to expand their comfort zone to get over fear of heights. People love falling through the air, but it only takes 7 seconds to fall 300 feet, so to make the experience last longer, the swings are the next best thing! As most water rides have a sign that reads "You Will Get Wet On This Ride", I think this ride should have a sign that reads "This Ride Will Dry You Off"! BTW, great price for new season passes, I'm getting mine as soon as I have the money!
