I’m assuming Adventure Port will be open for Memorial Day weekend? I can’t picture the area being completed in regards to theming considering how far behind they are but the rides will be operational.

I just want to say, I’m impressed with Chef Joseph Perez so far this season. He seems to take a lot of ownership with the restaurants within the park. For the 4 visits that I have been I have seen him walking about in 3 of those visits. It’s always a good sign to see someone that is passionate and cares about what they do.

Meanwhile at Kings Island: The price is wrong BOB!!!

I guess I could have been more specific when it came to this being the worst opening at KI in the CF era. What I meant was the combination of things not being opened for opening day, or for the opening of the regular season. Adventure Port is still not ready, technically the VIP lounge, The Bat and Delirium were not ready on opening day. Drop Tower is still closed. Let’s not forget the bait and switch tactic the park used on people with the VIP lounge. I might sound pessimistic but I’m truly passionate for Kings Island, it’s a great park but with that being said, it’s too good of a park to be so behind and late on things. Especially being a SEASONAL park.

True, but there was plenty of weekends they could’ve left it closed to get it finished for opening day. Remember they started painting Diamondback in FEBRUARY! February 23rd to be exact. Mako which is a near peer coaster at Seaworld closed in April for general maintenance and it got an entire fresh coat of paint. It reopened as of yesterday, May 18th. With all the other projects not being completed for opening day. Dare I say this may be the worst opening in KI history during the CF era?

Should’ve just kept it closed till it was finished.

That is why Kings Island losing Chick Fil A is a huge deal. It was the most consistent quality restaurant the park had to offer.

I’m curious how the park plans on completing painting Diamondback now that officially the regular season has begun. Unless they close it during the regular operating hours I have little faith it will be completed till the regular season is over.

There is running tap water in the VIP lounge. There is a spigot right above the infused water coolers to keep them topped off. https://ohparent.com/kings-island-opens-vip-lounge-for-prestige-passholders/

Does it make me petty that I created a twitter account to reported whodat17 for suggesting to RMC The Beast?

Me on other side of the construction fence waiting for the rest of Adventure Port to open so I can ride Sol Spin and the Adventure Express.

Busch Gardens uses it for both:

Currently in Orlando, Seaworld gives their pass members free drinks and a place to sit in the air conditioning, and all I could think of was how people paid a lot of money to eat a bag of chips in whatever the weather is for the day.

Are they no longer serving the crinkle cut fries at KI Skyline? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry for double but yesterday they’re was a huge wait for the Juke Box dinner, not because the kitchen was slow, but it was due to a crowd of like 30 or so people who were apart of the same group event I guess? They were redeeming their food and drink wrist bands. Now I understand having some behind the counter as a one off but I would think that being a large group that more than likely purchased them in advance, they would have those ready for those folks for pickup near the entrance of the park?

While everyone this weekend will have their focus on The Bat reopening and the grand opening of the Grain and Grill. Kings Island has secretly been refilling the pond underneath The Beast.

Got to try the Grain and Grill yesterday. The food was good, but to me the star of the show was definitely the Brussel sprouts. They were incredible! Definitely a unique side item for an amusement park and most definitely an overlooked one.

I mean the park isn’t really losing out on anything honestly. You’re allowed to leave the park and come back.

For those who have families and don’t want to spend a small fortune at amusement parks. Here’s a little trick I saw online: https://www.intheknow.com/post/free-food-water-park-amusement-park/

Those are really nice, kinda wish there was one for the K.I & Miami Valley Railroad. Only because I’m a train dweeb and all..

Well, there goes the affordable daycare for a lot of parents. . . In all seriousness tho, I would have much rather seen more serious punishment to the unruly individuals than a new blanket rule that affects us all.

I had an instance this season of 2 teens tying to line jump during pass holder preview night on Orion. There was quite a few turnstiles open and they were ducking in between the rails to catch up to where the line actually started. My friend and I who were in front of them was just following the queue path. What they didn’t realize was that this “old man” being me, at the dusty age of 30 could duck between the rails too. As soon as I saw what they were doing, I began to duck between the rails just so they wouldn’t get ahead of me. Once we caught up to where the line actually started. I made sure to take a second to look down at them as if they were clowns and they mean mugged me.

wow, do I feel older now at 23. Haha, try 30 pal!

Man, we need Terp back.
