I think if they were mad at wage decreases, they wouldn't be stubborn about not giving larger cups....it would be the exact opposite - they wouldn't care about saving KI money and would give away larger cups, give you the ICEE cups for the ICEE drink plan, give you another side when hush puppies are out, etc. In this instance, that was a directive told to the employee and the employee being newer was following the instructions provided to them. It is only after getting yelled at by guests enough times that they say screw it and give away the larger cups. It isn't costing the employee anything and saving a lot of f bombs being dropped on them.

Heard today: No wonder they gave away the drink plan, they have no ice or cola. I'd be ticked if I paid for that.

And what is the next step when that is done and still denied....and what does guest services really do in that situation for a season pass holder - promise to do better next time?....

Is the sponsor new for the 4th fireworks lol All-American thrills are waiting for you at Kings Island as we celebrate Star-Spangled Nights presented by M&M’S https://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/star-spangled-nights

In today's episode of Six Flags budget cutting, Skyline is out of season long paper cups and refuses to provide guests with the larger cups available and forcing guests to then carry their Skyline to another place to get their drink. And they are out of onions... Buy your season pass with free drink plan...and go to Coney BBQ where the drinks are flat... Caveat Emptor

IYKYK lol (you actually answered your own question.....)

Water is available at some of the fountain drink locations...well actually all of them right now with so many drinks out of syrup

Anna Sun by Walk the Moon And with its chorus "This house is falling apart" seems appropriate for Six Flags at the moment lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDVW81bXo0s&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD

^If they feel the steal is too much, I could see the chain eliminate the self-serve and return to the unsanitary hand the associate your nasty dirty souvenir cup and fill up and touch the ice scoop and drop back in to the ice or give you water cups they filled. Right now they feel the theft isn't worth the hourly rate of associates to manage it.

Buy your silver pass Caveat Emptor

47,000 rides baby LOL

Whatcha talkin about Willis

It was Gary Coleman. He has had many health issues and doesn't make it to the park very often anymore.

Let's not forget that in 2019 the park put up signs in The Beast queue with stats and pictures and recognize Carl Eichelman as the official record holder at 4,400 rides. Or did Rick accumulate 40,000 rides since those signs went up to go along with his over 5,000 Orion rides

If only there was a rumors subforum...oh wait...

Many of The Beast ride ops are returners over many years. Many don't know who he is other than what they see on FB... Many here worked Beast in the 80s and 90s and don't know who he is other than on FB... Over the last few years, probably under 20 times, and that is probably generous. Maybe he has smoked 43,000 cigarettes in the park

Just like they stopped complaining we need a giga after Orion was built

Are you sure that Coke Freestyle drink stand by Enrique's re-opened? Every time I went by after 12:30pm that sign was there that is was closed. Maybe it did for a short period, but seems unlikely. As for The Beast guy, he is a nice guy, but a good fish tale story teller LOL. So, this Vlogger attended CoasterStock in 2022 and from this video dated May 23, 2022, they ran into him and he says on the video that he has rode The Beast 31,030 times and when @Tr0y and others (because there seems to be daily posts with pictures with the guy on FB), claimed that as of July 24, 2023 he has rode The Beast 38,000 times.... And as recently as last week, people were posting on FB he said he is over 47,000 rides. So who believes that in 14 months (but really about 9 months when you subtract out Nov-March) that this dude rode The Beast 6,970 times? And without a Fast Lane? And at the pace he walks? Not even Mr. Racer got near that many rides in a year when he was on his marathon stretch LOL. Mr. Orion struggles to get 2,000 rides in a year and he has Fast Lane. Mr. Diamondback never hit near those numbers in year either. Heck has anyone hit more than 6,000 rides on a single ride in one year LOL. He also says his name and picture are on a plaque in The Beast queue - has anyone seen it and got a picture? As they would say on Mythbusters, this claim is FALSE. Enjoy his stories, but don't take it as 100% accurate.

No different methodology than the person that bought a pass for 12 months and then watches in August someone buying a pass and getting 17 months (August thru end of following year)... Did they do anything for those that feel cheated the past couple of years on that deal....

Go on days with rain in the forecast they say...maybe Zimmerman has some social media plants to make the park comfortably crowded on historically light days lol (about 40min wait)

It was deliberate to get another trip out of them

PA announcement Soak City closing in 30min, so 2:20pm lol

They plan to open it today (Monday) https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/places/cedar-point/top-thrill-2-closed-cedar-point-weekend-update-tony-clark-sandusky-ohio/95-8ec3cfd5-3541-4dbe-8534-1f4ea2adeecf

Caveat emptor

You will Make it a silver pass
