Riding Banshee today and the Barney Fife of the crew comes up to me after I’m locked in the restraints asking to see if my sunglasses have a strap on or not.. wow.

You can make it cold brew, just ask for ice. Also this time I tried the house blend. Not as good as the French roast.

Next to the ring toss.

Found another marker in Coney Mall:

Survey Marker in Coney Mall near Jukebox Diner:

For the first time this season The French Corner was open when I visited. Best believe at 86 degrees outside that I finally redeem a coffee with my drink plus plan. There are two options. I opted to get the French Roast. It isn’t Starbucks, but caffeine is always good. Their is half and half, sugar and or sweeteners to add at your discretion.

Meanwhile Zamperla:

Well if you would have been to the park in the last couple seasons you would know He’s talking about Enrique’s (KI’s chipotle) The sour cream is included with the meal. He is just asking for it to be on the side instead of it being on his burrito. I can assure you those little condiment cups are cheaper than the bowls they put your food in.

Have you noticed any savings with the advent of self checkout? All I have noticed is Kroger posting record profits year over year. In my opinion, supply and demand is what drives prices.

That comment about “creating jobs” part is not entirely wrong tho. There are jobs because of people leaving trash or carts behind. How many cart attendants have you seen at Aldi?

Have you ridden TT2?

From what I’ve seen the other day at the park. They’ve been hard at work making Towers Gardens look really nice for the event:

I'm curious if some of these pass perks are park specific or chain wide? Any non-KI passholder can chime in on this? King's Island seems busier this season than last.

New survey markers seen today in Soak City: The marker sits atop of a hill. This would be ideal for a tower for slides.

Did you get to ride it? How was it?

Menu for the Food & Wine Festival: https://qr1.be/JLZ1 Subject to change, as always.

Every Premier coaster new and old that I’ve ridden are not very comfortable.

I got to try Pig Pens Mess hall for the first time today. I got the cheesy met and for the side I went with the Saratoga chips. As others have posted it was good. **Might I add that the cheese sauce and bacon bits are not up charges. A welcoming change from the norm.

The ribs were good.

I’ll have to give those a try tomorrow.

Being overcooked is more criminal.

My first ACE event was a blast! The weekend had an itinerary with tons of things to do. My favorite part was having those extra ERT hours before park opening and after the park being closed to the general public. The value it provides is an understatement, getting 5-6 night rides on The Beast including Mystic, and Diamondback is something hard to pull off on any regular day, even with Fast-lane. The few photos that I did get doesn’t do the event justice. ACE and Kings Island did a great job organizing this event!

I agree with AZ needing an overhaul. DC Universe would be a great fit there. Im probably in the minority but I would like a large log flume to take the old Vortex spot.

It was good, the only downside was the limited toppings. No cheese or raw onions everything else, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes were present.

Had the coveted grilled chicken sandwich at Jukebox Diner for lunch.
