Its been closed since one of the launch motors burned up earlier in the season.

Depends on your definition of "Best". On Diamonback, second row is great due to the staggered seating. Gives practically the same view as front but not the line that comes with it. Middle of the train is great for airtime, back is great for the forcefulness of getting pulled over the hills and such. Backlot, Any seat for me as long as it after the first climb in the "Parking garage". Hate that part. Lots of options but it depends on what you are wanting to experience. And welcome to KIC and to the Kings Island "family. we've got a great park!

FoF was maybe 15 minutes around 3. It was a great day at the park!

Every year, My family ends up with a "summer song" and it usually does come from KI but this year, it came from Kings Dominions Starlight Spectacular. It was Summer by Calvin Harris. Kings Islands would Have been Ain't it fun by Paramore. Because "Ain't it fun living in the real world?"

Juuuust slightly a bit old.

Last season was my first trip to Soak City and i had no clue about the no metal grommets rule. The lady just had me roll them up to cover them and then let me go down the slide.

Music sets a mood. (To most) Take Banshee for example. Opening night, with the lights and the music from FunTV, the atmosphere was electric. Had there been just lights and crowd noise, it would not have been the same experience. That night and that ride might have been one of the best times I have ever experienced in a park. I always was curious what those booths were for. Now I know!

Looks like they moved the video as it was no longer "breaking". It was the one at SFMM.

Dude on one of the Facebook posts about it swears its getting converted to a hanging coaster.... The comments, oh the comments.

In the last 3 years if taking kids under 3, not once have I ever had an issue with it. If pushing a stroller, they wouldn't even question it I am sure.

The new COSI is great. As long as you have never been to the old one. So much was lost in the move. Unless you experienced it, you wouldn't understand.

It is already listed as chain wide via Cedar Points page. Kings Island just hasn't added it as of last check.

Its an entirely new entrance. Which us good because their old one kinda sucked. Having to walk half a mile to get from the lot to the gate was a challenge after driving for hours and having kids that had to pee. The new design looks much better.

I'm not surprised to see it extended from 2 to 4 hours between meals. We are guilty of hitting KI in the evening and having The Chicken Shack for dinner and LaRosas as a snack when we leave the park.

Entire chain.

The single park dining plan is cheaper than the chain wide plan. Can't pull it up on my phone at the moment but check out Cedar Points website as its the only one that has it listed at the moment.

CP has it listed as a $99 add on. If you thought it was a deal before.....

I didn't care for CPs fried cheese. It tasted like a white Velvetta covered in salty batter. It has no stringy feel or a real cheesy taste like one should. Seeing the frwah cut fries as an option at other parks is a welcomed sight! I wish KI would add them.

Cedar Point has a chain wide season plan with a Platinum pass. If the plans weren't to be offered at the rest of the parks, I don't think they would offer it chain wide. It wouldn't make any sense at all unless they are doing it just to drive up the amount of people that park hop.

If it's offered chain wide at Cedar Point, not selling it at other parks would lead to confusion I would think.

I purchased two separate plans for my family of 6 this year at KI and CP. Extremely happy to see this added this year. It's a huge money saver! Would have been nice when we traveled to Dorney, Kings Dominion and Carowinds this year as well. Checking the other parks sites, it appears that it is only currently being offered for sale at CP only. Anyone know if I can renew a KI Platinum at CP?

Just noticed on Cedar Points site that they are offering a chain wide All Season Dining Plan. Can't find it on Kings Islands. Sure hope its just not posted yet or I can't find it. Edit: Looking back, it doesn't appear the KI is offering the Season Long Dining Plan. Interesting.

I just finished paying of my family's platinums from last year. One if the best "investments" of the year!

Kings Dominion closed their Bumper Cars and the inside que for Flight of Fear for Haunt mazes. Losing an arcade is nothing.
