Ride locations will also sometimes have wristbands to issue children, but sometimes they do not, or have used the limited quantity they have. I do suggest first thing in the morning going to either of these locations to get an accurate height and banded before getting to any of the ride locations. Flash the band, get the final go ahead from ride ops, get in line, and enjoy the ride.

Scream for A Kid Again on Banshee
thedevariouseffect replied to a topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Just again congrats to all who secured money, those who raised enough to attend the event, and especially those who raised large sums for a great charity. Pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. It makes me proud to see this much support for a great group like this from this site. -
"The Boyz Are Back" - New Show at Kings Island
thedevariouseffect replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Watched the show today with Terp towards the end of the day. Great choreography, one kid did two backflips in a row, excellent talent. Voices were very good, I have experienced better, but they did pull it off quite well. As a guy, we won't enjoy the show that well, being honest I watched the girls and their excellent choreography more than anything. The music and guys (or should I say guyz) aren't there for us. Great show this year after a few disappointing shows in the Festhaus. I will say I enjoyed how they came out into the actual Festhaus area during the show all the way to the tables where many guests sat, and even brought someone onstage as well. -
If the block is clear the train will run full speed until it hits lift crest, which I prefer to experience, I'm not much for lollygagging on the lift

Tapatalk compresses the image format on upload. I uploaded the full high quality image on FB. It may still not be as good for some, if not when I zoom in it's still clear and I'll just type it out. It looks good enough for me to use though

Beast at night is a great and fantastic experience. It's impressive because it's long straights, tunnels, and turns in the woods seem to go on for ages and pick up speed taking you further out in the woods than you could believe, and then finishing with a great helix. Banshee is great because of the ride and it's theming. The pacing, inversions, smoothness, and excellent elements already make for a great ride. However the tombstones and amazing lighting put into the rides design really take the daily common ride experience to a whole new level. Lastly, Banshee can have a fireworks ride, wheras Beast never will. Last night it was honestly a magical experience. Looking on the lift hill right in front of you, the fireworks go off, with AE, Racer, and WindSeeker right in front of you, and great good big old booms in the sky from gunpowder rockets. Very very impressive night ride. I know I'll catch flack, but I give it to Banshee, it has taken the mantlepiece. Don't get me wrong both are world class coasters with excellent thrills, both have a different mission and both have a different set of expectations for their rides in both settings.

Is getting multiple shirts somewhat wrong, yes. Were there rules in place regarding said shirts, no there was not. I will say though in my opinion Fast Lane should not be able to be used for ERT. In the past this was not the case, and other parks in the chain do not have Fast Lane during ERT. I did see this being an issue. Especially clearing out a line of 20+ people in Fast Lane before getting to the regular queue.

Besides for some reason we get a great new B&M and everyone seems to forget giving DB love lol -
Plus there's been many a time I've gone in and ridden nothing just went in to enjoy the park atmosphere, watch the rides cycle, and walk around

The trivia is good and bad..some are easy some are pretty good questions.. If you want good trivia sorry but most of the GP wouldn't get it..hell let's be honest most of you wouldn't get it either..think of the trivia from Great Wolf Lodge..most of you failed miserably there

That Flea comment..wow..I thought I could be cruel and heartless at times, thats so beautiful

No seatbelts for now thankfully. Policies and procedures can change at any given time. Look at Iron Dragon at CP changing its height requirement this season.

I have pictures of the full menu..give me time to wakeup and relax and I'll post

"The Boyz Are Back" - New Show at Kings Island
thedevariouseffect replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I'll have to give it a watch I did hear Festhaus had a good show this year and that's impressive to hear. I was drinking beer at Reds Grille while y'all were in there haha -
Possibly... I think more from sheer exhaustion. My car nap and nap at home..fantastic
-
I didn't take many shots I was more content seeing the new park and everyone again after an off season. But great report And kids will be kids..can't be too upset though he's just a kid..his future job and taxes keep me employed, can't ever look past that

These that didn't like it may end up with a tombstone of their own among the new spirited ride
