Yes, by the Junkyard coaster. But it is not coherent with the design of the other leaves of the clover. I've considered that area of the park no man's land because it could be either Rivertown, International Street or the area formerly known as Coney Mall. If you want to get very technical, the only restroom in Rivertown is inside the Brewhouse because the freestanding restroom near Diamondback seems to be a part of Planet Snoopy.

Yes, but those close with the park. My need for balance is challenged by the lack of a restroom on the Eastern end of Rivertown. The one near the Junkyard Coaster doesn't count because it's staggered. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'll make a deal. You all get your Area 72 restrooms and I get Rivertown restrooms. Preferably in the vicinity of Potato Works. Or when they renovate The Crypt, put them in there. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Pass Perks
I have 14 visits and have gotten 2 pass perks: BOGO popcorn, and today I got the $4 caramel corn. The popcorn was a nice perk as I was able to give a friend a free popcorn. Interestingly, the worker had not heard of Pass Perks and said she had no way to redeem it, but gave me a free popcorn anyway. The caramel corn won't be used as I will not be back to the park before the expiration date.

Cedar Point worst day
Sorry about your day, Collin. I've been to CP several times and this isn't typical. However, remember that if you leave your spot in line and try to return there, that is line jumping and can result in ejection. I hope your next visit is much better.

How do we know that they are not?

Smoking outside of smoking areas
Funniest thing I've seen today. On the KI season passholder page, an employee said that people were at the park, waiting for it to open today. Of course there were a bevy of comments about "the moose out front shoulda told ya". One person commented that it was the perfect attendance folks waiting for extra credit, but smoking.

Just to be all clear, I quoted a post. For some reason, my response was smaller font and in italics. Tapatalk has been quirky for me lately. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Smoking outside of smoking areas
Also, I've suggested before that I think it would be great to start a thread of shame on here, where we post pictures of smokers that are outside the smoking areas... So maybe we should do that in this thread? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What would be the point of a thread of shame on KIC? We know the rules, I'm assuming most KICers follow the rules. If it frustrates us seeing it live at the park, why repeat the image online? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

2019 Meals and Restau...RANTs
I had the tri-tip at Coney BBQ yesterday. I'm pretty choosy about meat and had avoided it because, well, I didn't trust that I would like it. If I could redo this and last season, I would have had it more often. It was that good. Can't wait to have it on Labor Day, my next visit. I also had the KI salad for my second meal. I decided to try the pullapart bread. The salad was excellent as usual. The pullapart bread was just OK. It's like they took 4 Kings Hawaiian rolls, put them in a bowl of butter, added cheese and chives and top, baked and served. The bottom was not edible, it was saturated with butter.

Kings Island 2019 Discussion
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a pain of glass was broken on a 2nd story window of the Swiss Building, with the curtains blowing out. Then later in the day, I saw the same thing on the Italian building. Now yesterday, I saw it was on the French, Spanish and German buildings. It's not like a rock was thrown threw the windows, they entire pain is gone. Does anyone reading this know why this has been done?

Adam House, with GCI, has stated publically that the tunnel is for noise reduction, and they worked with the neighborhood for input. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

What comes after the 2020 Giga?
Restore, don't replace! Put new shingles on the building, add the flags back, remove the ads, and highlight the year's new addition in the landscaping on the right side. Redesign the ticketing area. Maybe....maybe....add signage like CP and CWinds in the circle where the Christmas tree goes. Some rocking chairs like CWinds has would be cool. But don't ruin the sight lines of walking through turnstiles and seeing IS in all the glory. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Canada's Wonderland 2020
At the time I posted previously, it was not on the park's website or Facebook page. Now it is, so it's official. I believe it. LOL

^ I see that you identified yourself. When non medical people ask questions about cancer, ask about complimentary/alternative treatment and general nursing questions, it's an opportunity to educate. Kindness goes much further than smug aloofness. I may hear the same question one hundred times from the same person, but I'm not a jerk in answering the same question.

I have only seen this announcement on fan sites, not park sites such as their website or Facebook. Are we sure this is confirmed?

Basically it was news fluff. Just that the new coaster will replace Diamondback's park record for track length. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

The tone on this thread has been horrible for a while, but it's especially atrocious this week. In addition to the speculation about the physical make up of this coaster coming to a head with an eminent announcement, there is a full moon this week. It is well documented that the lunar cycle can affect the mental well being and actions of people, that's why mental health institutions were originally called lunatic asylums. I also can see anecdotal evidence of this at the hospital I work at, and I have experience in behavioral health. If you can control your response, consider PMing someone you consider to need correction. It's the nice thing to do. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

When I was riding The Beast yesterday (8-12), there were more trees down at the end of the clearing by the brake shed. It didn't look like major land clearing, but you could definitely see that more trees were down, at the end of the clearing.

Is this new concrete in the FOF plaza, or have I missed it this year? I counted 8 areas.. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

ELE was Extinction Level Event in the Armageddon movie. Or maybe it was the Asteroid movie. The one with Will Smith.

Off topic, but I got home from work and wanted to say something about FLP. I live 2.5 hours from the park and am fortunate enough to be able to avoid the weekends (except it is awful when they are on weekend only operations). There have been some busy weekdays this summer, though. I have only bought FLPs at KI once or twice, when I was with friends who don't go often, and the park was busy. At CP, though, I won't hesitate to buy one if the park is busier than I thought it would be, or if I take my niece. It worth the price to see her enjoy all she can, plus it wears her out so she is ready to go to bed. I have changed my perspective this year about rides. I am not looking for benchmark numbers anymore. I am not counting how many times I have ridden the ride this year. I am walking more, watching more shows, and people watching. I don't gulf down food, I savor it. I guess I have applied Winterfest mode to summer at KI. It has been a very good season. If you want to marathon certain rides, I'd highly recommend Coasterstock. If you like The Beast, for example, you can ride with a very limited number of other people (spread out usually between 2-3 other coasters) for two hours. Or you can go from coaster to coaster. It's walk on for about 2 hours. Very good event. Edit: Forgot to add: I have mixed emotions when I am at the park on a slow day and I see the people who have shelled out the money for a FLP of FL and everything is walk on. The may have the season long FL, or they may have paid full fare. Part of me is thinking "Wow, I can't believe they are out that much money when everything is a walk on!' and the other part of me is thinking "Haha, suckers! Idiots!"
