I found it interesting, but not surprising when you think of it, that clearly someone had to have made and tested that jump a few times. Look at all the tire marks on the landing ramp! And yet he came up just short when it mattered, not that most realized that though!

Change pen to computer and you get the idea (this commercial is a little old LOL)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlhFwFxi2Do (in case anyone doesn't get the humor - CF only has one computer for social media so they cannot get to everything as the Twitter employee didn't get their turn due to the email employee crafting an email )

They will be closed tomorrow due to a staffing shortage oh wait wrong park...

Guess what...just as many of us predicted...the park calendar now changed to show Soak City NOT opening tomorrow...where is a tweet or FB post about this change? Hopefully at the very least they notified those that had reservations! Will the 2 hours be added back now

So they just kick the staffing problems into next year... If the parks don't offer at least the same amount last year, I see the shortage being even greater then. Who likes doing the same job for half what they got paid last year?

At this rate, CP may have been open more hours in 2020 than they will be in 2021

What about large groups stopping to watch a performance by the entertainment department? I guess smoking in the park and in queues and phones out on rides are not ejectable offenses since it wasn't on the list...

What a nice deterrent

Usually, in this part of the season it is because a lot of their staff are still in school LOL. In Planet Snoopy they rotate around the closed ride until staff arrives, um I mean get out of school LOL. Historically it has been this way and some years are better than others in when the rides open. Or maybe they are still hung over from the associate event last night

Time to use your secondary twitter account

So did anyone get an email that said this or is this typical media misinterpretation: "In an email to season pass holders, the park said daily operations will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. until June 10. After that date, the park will be open from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m." The calendar has shown since it was published that 10pm daily would start June 25th and the current modified calendar still shows that... https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/ohio/kings-island-shortening-hours-due-to-staffing-issues-offering-more-than-50-full-time-positions/530-fda4f07a-a110-46ff-8c77-cede2bb73611

Not so fast, they may pull a Cedar Point and decide to close on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in June emailing us of the change is optional

Looks like they finally remembered the Twitter account password and posted something

Unfortunately, so far it is the other way around for CF parks...

Sounds like you should have that resume polished up given still no updates No ticker on the website, nothing on Facebook or Twitter, it is just buried in the schedule on the website and for some the app has been updated and an email to some passholders... If the strategy is "hey we put out a guest advisory that park is at capacity, but we still let folks in but it probably kept some from making the drive over, so let's send out an email to the passholders saying we close at 8pm to keep crowds down, but we will stay open til 10pm" will certainly blow up in their face. Once upon a time they used to say to follow their twitter and FB feeds for the most up to the minute happenings...

Well the rumor is KI is only a season pass holders park, but this is taking it a little too far only sending an email to pass holders LOL

At this point, wondering if maybe the 8pm close only applies to season pass holders, but only those that received the email

If they don't talk about it, it didn't happen right... And I agree, if the reason has to do with the incidents this past weekend, I think many would agree that the park should state that they are closing early to better monitor the situation until they can staff up security in the parking lot or add additional lighting in the parking lot (long needed) or whatever else. That would go a long way towards mitigating what most are assuming the reason for the early close is and badmouthing the park on social media...transparency is key in today's society. Certainly they knew before yesterday that they would be understaffed as they claim...unless it is for another reason. I guess at this point they will just let the guests hear the park close announcement at 8pm since it still isn't on their social media feeds.

Fight night across Ohio...this time at Kalahari, but arrests were made in this incident: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/crime/2-arrested-fight-kalahari/95-710c7eba-aad7-4665-8d4a-7c3237bb29b5

Kings Island doesn't hold an exclusive on Fight Night in Ohio Arrests were made in this one though: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/crime/2-arrested-fight-kalahari/95-710c7eba-aad7-4665-8d4a-7c3237bb29b5

The lines were too short so nobody has seen it

Due to staffing levels, Camp Cedar reservations can only be made for days that begin with C or have a C in them But an exception will be made on the days Kings Island is open past 8pm, subject to change up to one minute before your check-in time if we don't have staff regardless of the real reason And if the night crew doesn't show, we will force you out on the street at 2am

Did it just for you LOL

Yep, the silence is even more deafening on a new attraction being managed by the park!
