Kentucky has been late to the testing that’s why you are seeing more now.
I get that, but even as testing is going up, the number of cases isn't skyrocketing. We've done well to flatten our curve and even as testing increases, the number of cases is static or decreasing day-over-day.

If it comes down to Kings Island opening only for Ohio residents, or staying closed all year, I hope for the latter. Not sorry. It isn’t fair to those of us outside of Ohio that contribute thousands upon thousands of dollars per year to Cedar Fair. I’m going to be an ass about it.

Are you implying that the media sometimes sensationalizes their reporting
LOL, I think people on both sides of the aisle can agree to that.

Well with the exception of Solid Rock Church in Ohio, the press has been saying that Kentucky folks have been more likely to violate the order and go to mass
And that is the big question - how do any Amusement parks safely open if anywhere in the Country still have self-quarantine orders? If KI opens, many people in a neighboring state or further with stricter stay home Orders will be of your "I'm coming to Kings Island on opening day, social distancing guidelines in my state be darned" mentality.
Does KI only allow gold passholders from Ohio in? Do they not allow platinum passes in if KI isn't their home park? What does Carowinds do being in two states?
Maybe your statement was being sarcastic, but it is comments like this that will have parks questioning if they risk opening and then becoming the epi-center of a new hotspot and being forced to close again because people traveled to go to KI because the park in their state is closed...
ONE church in Kentucky, in one tiny town, has continued to hold mass. Our governor then instructed our state police officers to write down their license plates, forward their personal information to those individuals' county health departments and enforce an involuntary 14-day quarantine. Beyond that, there has been no other mass gatherings. We've had a few protests at the state capitol for the governor's press conferences, but even those people (for the most part) maintained social distancing guidelines.

And it is your "social distancing guidelines in Kentucky be darned" why Kentucky is yellow on the map - y'all can't follow simple Orders to stay home
Do keep in mind Ohio currently has a 14-day self-quarantine if you cross into Ohio from another state...so you will have to go self-isolate in a nearby hotel for 14 days before the opening if that Order is still in effect.
And what would KI implement to ensure that their guests are adhering to whatever Orders are in place at the time - do they not allow passholders with an outside-Ohio address? Not let non-Ohio plates in? Provide proof you self-quarantined? So many questions...
Because certainly Nosy Neighbor Nancy will be out patrolling the parking lot to send pictures to the Governor of any violations and get the place shut down. Just ask Hobby Lobby how their defiance of the Order worked out for them
Actually, it's quite the opposite - Kentucky has done better at "flattening the curve" than most other states in the country. We have been staying home. We have closed all non-essential businesses and cancelled all organized crowd gatherings. We also have a 14-day quarantine for all out-of-state travel.
I highly doubt Kings Island would open if there's still a 14-day self-quarantine order still in place in Ohio. There's absolutely no way.

Not really sure how Kentucky is in yellow on that map. We have fewer cases per capita than any of the states around us, including Ohio, so the map saying we have to wait longer to relax social distancing guidelines seems absurd.
Either way, I'm coming to Kings Island on opening day, social distancing guidelines in Kentucky be darned.

Well that's great, I thought I was being smart by purchasing an all-season fast pass for my wife and I last night, thinking I'd get more than a season out of them.
Ugh.

They sure are doing a lot of work on The Vortex site for it to just sit there unused for a few years.

So when do we get the Orion cam back? Surely they’re done with testing by now.

If the park is closed for 2020, I expect my PAID 2020 Gold Pass to be converted to a 2021 Gold Pass. I won't accept anything less and neither should anyone else here.

Where do you find this? I am curious. If it’s not allowed. I understand. In that case. Disregard this.
I am also curious.

Looks like the last two pieces will be assembled on the ground and raised as one piece.

I'm sure there's a chance. I think they wrap it up tomorrow.
