Fantasy Farm - Middletown, Ohio
DonHelbig replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I went to Fantasy Farm 2-3 times a year prior to Kings Island opening. It was a fun time, something my family and I always looked forward to.- 19 replies

The all-you-care-to-eat wings are the traditional bone-in wings.

Yes.

How many chicken wings can you eat and still handle seven stomach-churning inversions on the Banshee roller coaster? If you ever wanted to know the answer to that question, Kings Island can help you figure it out. Kings Island is offering a $14.99 (plus tax) all-you-care-to-eat wing deal every Friday night at Halloween Haunt in the Reds Hall of Fame Grille from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. through November 1. In addition to all the jumbo wings you care to eat, the menu for this deal also includes tossed Caesar salad, fries, pickle chips, fresh celery and dipping sauces. Park admission to Halloween Haunt is required.

This is about giving our renewing season passholders what they've been asking for: something for renewing since there is not a price break in the fall between new and renewal. We're also going to be giving our guests that renew their season pass before November 2 something else they've been asking for with an exclusive preview night before the park opens for the 2015 season.

"Cirque Imagine" at Kings Island!

The last day for Cirque Imagine is August 17. The show schedule changes after Sunday for the other shows. -
On Saturday, August 9, Kings Island will attempt to surpass the world record for the most people applying sunscreen simultaneously to help raise awareness and money for the fight against cancers affecting men, women and children. The Guinness Book of Records shows the current record at 1,822 people applying sunscreen simultaneously. That was achieved by the Ann’s Hope Foundation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 18, 2014. The Kings Island initiative is part of its Kicks Cancer campaign to raise awareness for Melanoma Know More and will take place at 12:00 p.m. in the Showplace Theatre on International Street. Cincinnati Reds all-star third baseman Todd Frazier will join park visitors in the record-breaking attempt. Melanoma Know More is striving to reduce the impact of melanoma through awareness, education, support of medical research and assistance to persons affected by melanoma.

No matter when an event might be scheduled there are going to be conflicts, whether it's an event at another park, a coaster club conference. charity riding event, or park operating hours (difficult to offer ERT on days the park closes at midnight).

Landmark ONE HUNDRED MILLIONTH Racer Ride Coming Soon!
DonHelbig replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
That would be the type of rider that might really want to avoid publicity and eternal fame. If the milestone rider doesn't participate (provide name, pose for photo, etc), I wonder if they'd pick 100,000,001. We will take a photo of the 100-millionth rider. Whether they want to provide us with their name is up to the guest. -

Landmark ONE HUNDRED MILLIONTH Racer Ride Coming Soon!

More than 90 percent of the single riders on Diamondback were with groups of people who also claimed to be single in an effort to by-pass the line. -
Landmark ONE HUNDRED MILLIONTH Racer Ride Coming Soon!
DonHelbig replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
It wasn't that complicated to keep track of the ridership of each of the rides in the park in the 1970's. Capacity for each train is 30. If a train had three open seats, a 27 went in the log for that cycle. There was a big push in the 1970's and most of the 1980's to pair single riders which helped the ride surpass 3 million rides given in a season multiple times including 3.6 million in 1976.- 145 replies
