Hey Kings Island Central! I am a long time reader of these forums and have been a Gold Pass holder for about a decade, but I finally decided to sign up here and talk about my hometown park! Even though I have been a passholder for quite some time, it has been years since I have actually been able to make it to the park at opening. I just had a few quick questions that I was hoping I could get some help from you guys on: 1. What is the process regarding ERT? Do I need to show my pass to any specific employee or at a specific location? 2. How does the rope drop process work at park opening? Where should I be standing if I am attempting to get to X-Base once the park officially opens? 3. Finally, due to the long lines since I am normally at the park in the afternoon, it has been quite a while since I got the opportunity to ride Firehawk and Flight of Fear. I really like the front row on both of these rides and was hoping to be able to sit there on my rides. In general, how accommodating are the ride ops on these two rides in terms of row preferences? Which ride op should I ask about my preference? I'm sorry if any of these questions are really basic, but I really appreciate any help I could get from all of you! Thanks in advance and I look forward to chatting with you guys on here in the future!
