Camden Park, 1995
That was true of the previous owners. It is NOT true of the Boylens. If they didn't care, why are mother and son both there 12-14 hours a day? Why have they liquidated nearly every other asset they have while keeping the park? Why have they turned down buyers who would level the park?I know Jack Boylen personally. I have met his mother many times, for various reasons over the years. When making a statement like the quoted post, remember, those are PEOPLE you are talking about. In this case, people whose blood, sweat and tears have gone into that place. Yes, it's in bad shape. But, it is open. Which is far more than can be said of so many other parks. And it may have a future. So far, I've made it to the park too few times to suit me. And I'm depressed the place seldom gets mentioned here unless I mention it. Support your parks. Or watch them go away. I did not know about this, I stand corrected. I really hope they can do something with it. Was it them that put in The Rattler?

If Paramount still owned Kings Island, what rides based on movies would you like to see?
Paramount bought Dreamworks in 2005. So a Shrek themed ride would be cool to see.

Has Ridership Increased on "The Bat" After This Year's Makeover?
They need signs like they have at Dollywood. They tell you what direction and how far is some of the big rides. A directional sign at different locations, like one by Delrium would be perfect.

Interesting Things Ride-Ops Do
See I find this annoying to all end when they do this, and they do it alot at KI. If I dont feel like yelling all the time or sometimes not at all, maybe im talking to my wife. I'm not here to entertain you or make you feel important just because you have a mic. Don't get me started on the " I say Diamond you say Back....UGH.

WCPO: Woman asked to upgrade son's Jr Season Pass mid season
Its starting to become a trend of fleecing us. The other day somebody said KI security made them stop eating in parking lot. Now this? I know its a business and every thing is about money but you dont want this kinda of reputation, not very family friendly.

Eating food in parking lot
I dont like eating in the parking lot, bc I eat so much out a lunch box as it is. But I totally get it and dont see how they can stop you from eating in your own car or truck.

Eating food in parking lot
This will cause more people to not go to park. Not a good move if this is new policy.

The Owners dont care, nor will they sell it to someone who does.

Fast Lane
Fast Lane merges at the station and is no diffrent than the normal que as far as seating goes. Preferred seating is not guaranteed with Fast Lane or without. Most rides you can pick, depends on whos running it or the ride. You have a small seperate line for each seat. For example you use it on Diamondback and want to sit front row, you will have a small line for it once you get on the station, that Fast Lane doesnt skip you ahead of. Hope that helps.

They put in "The Rattler" but they need to put alot of money into the park, which I get the feeling ain't happening.

The back seat of the front car is typically the magic seat for airtime for wood coasters, hypers and gigas. Enjoy! Is this true for Diamondback? I cant tell much diffrence.

Landmark ONE HUNDRED MILLIONTH Racer Ride Coming Soon!
IDK I just feel like it will go to someone who won't care about it. I would think Don would love it, even though he can't admit it publicly.

Ideal Build-Out: Kings Island
Only way I would be ok with the removal of Vortex is if you replaced it with a Maverick clone.
