Now I'm hooked

The Zoo keeps trying new things this year. What about these price points: Ticket prices: $75 Early Entry $55 General Admission $55 Early Entry Designated Driver $35 General Admission Designated Driver https://cincinnatizoo.org/events/hops-holly/

She said she thought she couldn't be arrested for not leaving the parking lot driving around drunk... https://www.wlwt.com/article/kings-island-arrest-breathalyzer-alcohol-ovi-amanda-mcgee/61998624

Don't give them any ideas LOL. Let's see if you say that for the Winterfest Buffet with the extra charge for dessert

Is it time to declare the 1st season of TT2 was a bigger disaster than the 1st season of TTD? Somewhere Kinzel is relieved a new ride took the title of biggest regret/disappointment

Maybe like everything else, ours will be announced weeks later

At least he was in the park and wouldn't have been in violation if they had a chaperone policy https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2024/08/19/dad-leaves-young-kids-unattended-cedar-point-roller-coasters-sandusky-police-corkscrew-GateKeeper/74857410007/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawEwx3hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfuAAxYLBYFepp87-yJddilGEbgLakc-2MKDwjV6ZlpRe3ju0wCWFwvSVQ_aem_QR_3rXP0yJhYhJVXjrn0oQ

It sounds like they were hitting the fence around the ride and hit the umbrella for the associate as the rotation didn't slow. Sounds like maybe an error in the estop to allow it to continue to spin full speed while the ride lowered? How often do they test that and is the normal operation when it is hit? On the flip side, if the estop completely stopped the rotation, many of the riders would have slammed together and I could see certain body dimensions where the momentum of the swing would stop and their upper body continue and potentially be tossed from the ride. 2nd accident in as many months on similar rides, rip them out I am sure someone is saying somewhere...

The past hour or so it has returned to normal speeds. Fingers crossed it stays like that!

Like literally two steps away is a trash can.

Still slow on my end.

Mines seems to be faster today....until this post jinxes it LOL EDIT - it is slow again

And yet a place like Canada's Wonderland didn't take away any Winterfest when the Halloween stuff was extended another weekend...and their Winterfest goes another weekend than ours does....(yeah I know about the permits expiring 12/31)....

You were robbed of a few extra ounces LOL

The last few days, the forum seems to take forever to load and switch between sections and see posts, etc. It happens on both computer and mobile device. Anyone else having a problem?

Same can be said when Maverick and Mystic Timbers was announced....and many people will now say those are incredible coasters in their respective park...

Or this when there are literally 4 trash cans within 20 feet

The park updated the website to show this additional Haunt weekend, but.... Just like that, the park silently took away Winterfest opening the weekend before Thanksgiving and now opens Thanksgiving weekend. That is why they say on that page: "Operating dates and times are subject to change without notice. Please revisit this information prior to planning your visit."

The WXIX article had been updated and they added a date reference that now just makes the article look dated lol: The changes came into effect on May 4 after multiple “unruly” incidents occurred at Kings Island involving juveniles in the past. CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated park guests 15 years old and younger should be accompanied by a chaperone at all times while in the park. Kings Island management says a chaperone must accompany anyone 15 or younger into the park and 1. Remain in the park while their juvenile party is here and 2. be available to their group via phone throughout the day.

As i said earlier, I believe it is an old article that got an updated published date from an old version of the policy before it was implemented. Check out my 2nd post above that is a screenshot from earlier today and compare it to a not even 3 hours later screenshot and now they added "Last updated 5/4/24" that was not there just a few hours ago. I believe this is in response to this article and shows that the requirement to stay with is not accurate.

And yet on the KI web page it doesn't show that....is it an old article that didn't get updated but the "publish" date did?

It is supposed to only work at "home" park (whichever park the "base" gold or prestige is bought from).

Any better?
