Any kids you know named Beast, Racer, Mystic, Kenny or Lew, don't ask them why they are named that

My friends were excited to check out the 5th item on the list of Pass Details for the new Prestige program

Drop Tower has been down a week.

It got freaky during the Paramount years lol. People thought they were part of an ongoing audition for some MTV reality show

Wasn't that you

It has been running the past week or so with just the red and blue going and the white train dismantled. It has been down the last couple of days though....

What about this one in KI's very own app LOL

According to Jim, a park employee over on the passholder Facebook page, he says you get two this year and two next year with the Prestige.

Exactly - It seems reasonable that one shouldn't expect these benefits at a park not participating in the Prestige Program, but should expect benefits at a park that does have the Prestige Program... Otherwise there should have been zero references to contact the park you visiting regarding applicable benefits if the only benefit was parking and entry into a visiting park like a platinum pass, along with 15% off purchases.

But they did caveat it with "Prestige + Passholder benefits may vary by park. Contact the park you are planning to visit for any questions regarding applicable benefits." Which I think most would interpret that as you are eligible for any benefits a specific park is offering if they are part of the Prestige Program. If it was only specific to the home park, then this caveat should not have been there AT ALL....

Yeah, we know the "while supplies last" language is coming...or else they will either significantly reduce the number of preferred spaces sold each day (not likely) or they will expand the preferred by a lot and the VIP lounge. I personally know enough people that have purchased Prestige that if they all were at the park the same day, the VIP lounge would be over capacity...

It keeps changing and seems to be getting more restrictive. Didn't some of the original language say it included the VIP lounge at CP and now it doesn't? I know some of the other perks were assumed by the caveat that said contact the park you are visiting to determine their benefits, but I thought the lounge was specifically mentioned. And the backpedaling, if happening, is potentially ticking off some of the most loyal and highest per cap spending guests! I know many that upgraded to Prestige that have every season long add-on and has far exceeded the average per cap number CF announced.

Yes it does.

Wait Less...Ride More

It happens way more at KI than people would like to believe LOL....

Remember when Kings Island use to have a Singles Only line...oh wait different kind of single LOL

Yep, it seemed like every time I would walk past it, parents are telling their kids to hop on it for a picture, despite the no climbing signs...

Shows, like roller coasters, have people that like different things. For the roller coaster you hate, it is someone's favorite. Same with the shows. Ed Alonso had a great following. Cirque had a great following. This show had a great following. Some people are huge fans of all 3. Others are only fans of one or two of them. Variety is great, not only in the ride offerings, but the shows. It is great to see KI get back to more unique type shows in each venue. Who remembers when it seemed like every show in every venue was some sort of all new musical review show, usually to a pre-recorded music track....

It's in the latest revision to the Prestige+Family pass

^You can have that happen at KI too when they have only been trained for gold pass and you try to redeem a platinum meal plan. On their screen they are trained for the meal plan in the middle of the screen but the platinum is on the right side of the screen (or they were not paying attention during training lol) and they tell you that you don't have a meal plan. This has happened to several people I know after multiple visits to the park they were told they don't have a meal plan. Usually resolved when a super comes over. But I get your point.

Sorry for the double post. You may recognize some people and places....

^Yes it is rare to hear a CEO say the quiet parts out loud, and when they can him within the next six months, that is why CEOs don't say the quiet part out loud!

Plus they caveated it with "+Prestige + Passholder benefits may vary by park. Contact the park you are planning to visit for any questions regarding applicable benefits" which most would interpret that you get the benefits the other park offers their prestige passholders (if the park has the program as not every park is doing this) as some parks may offer more or less than your home park. Previously, a platinum passholder with KI as their home park would get the same benefits going to CP as the platinum passholder with CP as their home park. So logically one would conclude that if you have a prestige+ pass, then you would get the prestige benefits another park provides. And @BoddaH1994 makes a good point, even for the parks that don't have Prestige, they should be able to print a single use front of the line pass for Prestige+ passholders visiting the park. But even so, one would expect to at least get that at the parks that do have the Prestige program. I am sounding like a broken record LOL, but if the benefits were meant to only be park specific, then this should have been a park-exclusive add-on to the platinum pass instead of this "premium" prestige+ pass that doesn't sound too premium as more attempts to clean up the language seem to devalue this pass offering.

^Some feel we need more bars

The wooded survey stake is literally within 30ish feet of the launchpad, between slingshot and Banshee. The pk-nail is between Slingshot and Hanks. That is simply a control point so they have a known X,Y,Z to go from.
