Halloween Haunt 2022
There is nothing in this that isn't already in place or was in place for the past several years... I have heard a few ride ops call out guests for profanity and said they would call security if they didn't stop. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/code-of-conduct

Wurlitzer Band Organ to be restored in 2022!
I would say that an almost 100 year old historic organ, which the world famous auction house Sotheby's claims that no more than 10 are known to exist today of the Wurlitzer Style 157 Band Organ, breaks and is fixed within 4 days is well within an acceptable time period to fix such a rare item and in fact shows the priority the park is placing in this organ! Great to hear it again!

Knotts now will be enforcing a Chaperone policy
It is simply your opinion is it is unjust.... case law and precedence says otherwise... can the laws change at some point - yes absolutely. But until then, it is a generally accepted legal policy a company can implement. They are a private business and can implement whatever policy they want as long as it is legal. As an example, smoking is allowed outdoors. The parks are outside (except obviously for their indoor parts) and legally they can say no smoking or vaping within the park and that is their legal right and within their right to kick a person out for violating their legal policy. You as a consumer can decide if you disagree with a particular policy and then decide whether or not to patronize the business. If the company sees a decline as a result of said policy, then they will change said policy. Companies are in business to make money. Any legal policy they implement takes into consideration the pros and cons of said policy. If they believe that the overall benefit outweighs the negative, then they will do so. With the current industry trends leaning towards family-friendly parks, that is where the money is, not unruly teens that are causing trouble and aren't spending money in the park. If those same guests turn the magical age of 18 and decide as you say "Screw you, Charlie Brown", well that is probably still an overall benefit for the park because like you said, the age of 18 is just a number, so they would probably continue their poor behavior once turning legal. They want the well-behaved and properly parented children visiting the park and those positive experiences will encourage these said children to visit the park when they are over 18. The unruly teens causing trouble and making a family decide that for their families safety, they will skip the park is not what the park wants. And let's face it, since the parks are now cashless, it is easy for a park to determine if the guests they kicked out spent any money in the park....

Woman crashes car into pool at Kings Island Camp Cedar
The thing is the average person has no idea who the park's spokesperson is (obviously a fan site and enthusiasts know LOL), so if it is going to be titled in the article Kings Island Camp Cedar, shouldn't and wouldn't KI want to control that narrative, especially if they are getting paid to provide that service?

Kings Island Prestige Pass
It is what many will say the plan should be, but the language with each revision seems to get more restrictive and more park specific benefits opposed to benefits available at other parks. Let's hope they iron this out and not backpedal on benefits that @BoddaH1994 and others have already received at other parks.
