Whatever they’re getting it will probably break a record.

Looks thrilling, thanks for posting!

I’m finding that out quickly.

I have found no survey markers near or around the old SoB station. My guess is all of the commotion going on at SoB station is because it is used as storage for Halloween props.

I’m a bit surprised that even after investing in Camp Snoopy that KI’s ranking for Best Kids Area dropped to 3.

They didn’t have SSBR or Camp Snoopy opened on time for the ACE event.

Has anyone seen Orion? I can’t find it listed with the other North American giga’s.

Booze Blasters

There are markers by Boo Blasters.

While you’re down there. don’t forget to snatch a Lion King Magnet that’s for passholders at Animal Kingdom.

Nice little surprise today. Disney sent me a magnet for becoming a Passholder:

You can still get the grilled chicken sandwich? Its at Jukebox Diner.

Same cheese sauce they use in the Mac and cheese, I believe.

As recommended by @BoddaH1994 last night I tried the One Giant Pretzel at Brewhouse. Very good! I it’s a better deal for two, than Auntie Anne’s at the park.

Another marker seen in Coney Mall:

I’m curious about the size of the tastings and the amount of drink tickets each participant receives. However, the fact they offer a designated driver ticket is promising.

@rexpostalis suggesting the comment made by @BeeastFarmer was of racial undertone.

The park is being reimbursed by corporate whenever someone redeems a meal with their all season dining pass. Including Chefs plate. So even if you wanted to call it “steak for free” demand the park is getting paid per meal plan redemption. I can almost guarantee what the park gets reimbursed from corporate is more than what it actually cost the park to make a single meal from Chef’s plate.

Bait, AND switch!

By all means, show me the metrics that support your claims.

This is just a friendly reminder for KI to order the fog juice now.

That’s a great idea. I would prefer better Halloween decor around the park than scarezones. Anyone who has been to Dollywood’s Harvest Festival can attest how well they decorate the park. Jumpscares should be left to the haunted mazes and therefore optional to folks. Like any other attraction at the park.

The Cincinnati metro area experienced a 6% increase in population between the years 2010-2020 In the same timeframe Kings Island on the other hand between the years 2009-2019 experienced an attendance increase of 17.3% If KI attendance figures followed the metro population of the area it resides in. Then the attendance number should be much lower.

Statically speaking each coaster since Diamondback has on average added 179k to the attendance per season. With the exception being Orion: Diamondback between the years 2009-2013 averaged 3,133,400 attendance per season. Banshee between the years 2014-2016 averaged 3,319,000 attendance per season. Mystic Timbers between the years 2017-2019 averaged 3,492,000 attendance per season. Orion, excluding the years 2020-2022, best season in 2023, averaged 3,488,000 attendance. Each of those coasters had the highest park attendance during the season prior to a new coaster being built: Diamondback in 2013 the park had 3,206,000 in attendance. Banshee in 2016 the park had 3,384,000 in attendance. Mystic Timbers in 2019 the park had 3,521,000 in attendnance. Orion in 2023 the park had 3,488,000 in attendance. If you include the average increase of 179,000 in attendance for each respective coaster addition since Diamondback. Orion in the year 2023 should have put the parks attendance number in the ballpark of 3,673,00 for the year prior to Snoopy’s Soap Box Racer. However that is not the case. Orion’s last season had less guest attendance than Mystic Timbers.
