Here are 24 pages for of fun reading back when FL was first being mentioned....a lot of posts about it is so expensive at $50 that nobody will spend that and thus we will not even notice a slow down in the lines...and now they sell out the $500ish and $850ish season long plans...and CP has hour long FL lines now

I noticed last week, or maybe two weeks ago, that one of The Bat trains seemed to have had a worn out, uneven, or loose wheel in the back and you could clearly hear it rattling or bouncing along the track in the exit area as The Bat flew by, so maybe said poster happened to be there on a day they pulled it offline to replace or fix wheel. I have seen The Bat running two trains more than I have seen the Rivertown FreeStyle open

^And it potentially makes sense to mention KI if KI implemented such policy, but why throw KI under the bus given it is 25-30 minutes between KI and Cinemark Oakley? It isn't like the kids can walk between the two places. If it was the former movie theater across the street from KI, then yeah, referencing KI makes a little more sense. But still, seemed odd to reference KI given the distance between the two and that KI doesn't have a chaperone policy, so mentioning them has a bigger chance at blowback than referencing say closer shopping malls that have implemented a similar policy?

LOL - yep people have been buying cheap seats and sneaking down to better seats for as long as there has been different price tickets.

And yet KI has not changed their policy....and never even mentioned contemplating a chaperone policy nor implementing a policy and then rescinding...yet social media posts have people believing both situations...A local news station suggested that as a policy, but it was never mentioned by the park.

Wow - I could maybe see if the theater was next to KI. https://www.wlwt.com/article/cinemark-oakley-station-adjusts-restrictions-for-teens-after-incidents-at-kings-island/36881014

I guess major issues will prevent opening this week as people have been reporting on the Camp Cedar FB page that their reservations thru at least July 11th have been cancelled...

And the list goes on and on everywhere. Shooting in Burger King over spicy sandwich being too spicy. https://www.foxnews.com/us/tennessee-shooting-burger-king-spicy-chicken-sandwich

Happening everywhere. https://www.wlwt.com/article/police-man-found-shot-after-large-fight-at-springdale-dave-buster-s/36878141

Thanks for providing a tiktok link to the official KI account since the website makes no mention of a tiktok social media presence Which one of the comments in the comments is your favorite LOL.

The enthusiasts just want something other than B&M

Sold to the man with the soprano sax!

It would have to be the bluegrass versions

Since those songs are not country... (cross-threading)

country music

Now that we have fireworks again, be sure to check out the new app Kings Island Live and turn your phone into part of the Royal Finale (must be present in the park for it to work)

They let riders into the Orion line until 10pm last night. I suspect the person you heard it from is mistaking that they shut it down early for the fireworks for shutting the line down early...

^Yes, although it might be up to 6 songs now

Open til 10, so come on down and witness with your own eyes lol

Effective July 1st, reservations are not needed for Cedar Point, but will still be required for Cedar Point Shores. They also added operating days in August.

The FS crew is rocking too, including your favorite @King Ding Dong

Orion crew is rocking it too today!

Line jumping has almost always happened (can't speak to like Coney back in the roaring 1920s LOL). I think FL has given some that do not have the money for FL the idea that it is ok to line jump. With many of the queues being close together, I have seen as someone else pointed out, someone entering the main line to get past the front of line employee, jump into FL line and then re-enter regular line just out of site of the ride separator at the station. I remember when the park used to have signs posted that was just about line-jumping and being ejected from the park at the entrance of many rides. Now they are non-existent and/or buried among the wall of text sign at almost every entrance, so nobody reads them, just like my wall of text posts LOL. Like everything, social media has allowed our knowledge of it happening to be more front and center. Most people post negative on social media "The place sucks - long lines and line jumpers all day" type posts. Very few post about the wonderful, event-free day they experienced. But in my opinion the bigger issue are those that feel it is necessary to vape and smoke in a queue line. I see that way more often than line-jumpers. More employees in the queues would be a start to solve both problems. While it sucks to see line-jumpers, I do not think it is to the point that much will be done at this point. They say you can tell an employee or text the hotline number. Unless they hand out numbers at the entrance and the line separator checks numbers and boots out anyone out of sequence or without a number, you really cannot put enough staff in the queues to prevent it.

I know that shocks you LOL.

Didn't one of the original versions of the app have a find my friend mode LOL
