Great report! This. This is why I stay at Hotel Breakers and only Hotel Breakers when I go to Cedar Point. Y'all can keep your cheap motel rooms on the mainland. I want the convenience. I agree, but you're going to catch quite a bit of flak on here for saying that.

^ It won't be Cirque Imagine unless KI alters the show schedule. Cirque is off on Mondays and the event is on a Monday.

Yes, that's an option you choose when you log in. Try logging out and then logging back in, making sure not to check the "browse anonymously" box (I don't recall exactly what text is next to it, and I don't feel like logging out to find out).

Yes, they have lockers. I'm not totally sure on the price, but I believe they are $5 for all-day rental plus a $5 deposit on the key that is refundable upon return of the key at the end of your day.

All-day drink wristbands are eligible for the Gold/Platinum Pass discount. Mrs. No Chickens and I both received the discount when buying our wristbands on Sunday. The cashier wasn't sure whether they were eligible for the discount, but he tried ringing up the discount and the register accepted it. If they're not supposed to get the discount, then the registers need to be fixed to reflect that.

^^ I'm guessing that has yet to be determined and will be announced later.

AFAIK there is no bring-a-friend discount for the dinos. You may wish to call the park for a definitive answer though.

I finally bought some of these Sunday night and ate one last night while watching the F1 race from Sunday on the DVR. Man, those things are delicious! I'll have to remember to get some more occasionally throughout the season.

If you're trying to refer to me, I did wear last year's shirt on Sunday, but I absolutely did not attempt in any way to participate. I rode The Racer only once, on the public side. I simply wore the shirt to show support for the event. In doing so, during the day a few park guests saw the shirt and approached me to ask what the event was about, which gave me an opportunity to explain to them the wonderful cause that this event supports. I consider that a to be a plus for the park and for Give Kids the World. As for earlier posts of mine in this thread, my decision to not participate this year was made well before the two-lap-and-take-a-break policy came up. Looking back, I overreacted to that policy when it did come up, and for that I apologize. However, I had already decided much earlier to skip the event for the simple reason that I needed a break from it. Regardless of any re-ride policy, I will almost certainly be participating again next year.

Another reason that the only locker I use is the trunk of my car.

This page says the same regarding Flight of Fear: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/thrill-rides Interesting. Not having seen the Flight of Fear line on busy days yet this season, I can't comment as to whether it truly needs this or not, but it's an interesting change nonetheless.

Forget the view from the queue. The view of Banshee from around seats 5 to 10 at the top of the tower is AMAZING! A shame that there's no way to legally take a picture from up there.

^ Just another reason I prefer to travel solo. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

Perhaps somebody had nowhere to stay for the weekend because of the water main break and decided to get a free room at the jail. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

I loved the fast-forward of the Eiffel Tower's elevator at the end. I'm also surprised we didn't see each other. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

I got a seat facing Banshee right after sunset. You get an amazing view of Banshee from the top. I wish there was a way that I could legally take a picture from up there.

And keep an eye on the forecast for tropical systems. A tropical storm or hurricane near the Gulf coast of Florida may cause the park to close for the day, as they did when Isaac moved through in 2012. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

The ribs at the Reds Grille are HUGE: That's NoChickens's hand in the picture, to give you a sense of scale. Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

Papa Toilet's? How about not?

In other news, 4 out of 3 people have trouble with math. EDIT: What Terpy said.

The reservation center is likely on the peninsula, which is currently evacuated and closed....

More likely, you're speeding.

Also, July 12 will be the GOCC Midsummer Scream event at KI. Details on that event are still being finalized, but the date was announced in the last issue of Streak. I will be doing both that and the Coaster Crew event, since I am a member of both clubs.

I had Gold Star's chili cheese fries this evening. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
