Season pass sales must be trending down to offer this so early.

That's simply adorable. Kind of reminds me of the song "Come Sail Away With Me" by Styx!

Maybe they will use them for a floral display. If they don't creatively reuse, it's lazy or cheap. If they use what they have effectively, it's wise.

He's a cowboy! Giddyup! Yeeha!

So is this a Kings Island post or a channel twelve post? I'm not the most media savvy guy, but these photos look thrown together and the quality looks like it was taken from a disposable camera on a cruise ship.

I never patronized the park and understand the historical significance and local sentiment. I rely on the anecdotal experiences of the Tower Topics podcast last week, where they discussed this topic...both said when they went in recent times, there were very few patrons. I just don't think, if this was the norm, the operation could have been viable, especially since parking revenues would likely go to the orchestra. Supposedly, Coney got the parking revenue from Riverbend and that was it's bread and butter. Most of what I hear is that the orchestra has stolen/closed resident's close by park. I just don't think the pool could be sustained with customers in a ten mile distance.

It's a good idea, but with live entertainment being eviscerated, I don't think it's probable in the current state of Cedar Fair.

This is pretty cool:

Isn't Richard Zimmerman the park president who, under one of the paramount ideations, basically tried to destroy old ki with many ride removals?

Ahhhh...so that's why we now have 3 platform ride ops on The Beast instead of 6. And dirty midways. And scaled back entertrainment...

Can you summarize, it's a pay wall.

I can't reveal my sources, but I can't not share this news, which some will love and some will hate. Planet Snoopy expands in 2025. Diamondback as we know it, is being retired and renovations will shorten the height. It will be called "Linus's Big Boy Coaster"

I understand your viewpoint. My interpretation might be splitting hairs, but it says YOUR benefits CAN be used at other parks. So if you are a KI PP holder, whatever is offered at KI can be used at other parks. But different parks can offer home park benefits to their PP holders. But, based on the KI implementation of this tier, it would take a lot of improvement and trust for me to ever buy this pass.

My take is that this is acceptable. All benefits are park specific. It sucks, but if they opened it to all, KI passholders could take spots from CP passholders because they are limiting attendees. Look from a different perspective...if ki had a problematic coaster such as SOB that was closed for 2 years and a fan favorite ( which it wasn't, but it's just an example) that was turned into an awesome RMC or GCI hybrid, thousands would want to ride. If you are one of the most loyal clients of Ki and spend all the money on this pass, you'd be very upset if 15 CP prestige pass folks took a spot away from you. But, we both know how terrible KI's implementation of this pass level is, so if they had this event, they would probably open it up to silver and above and limit it to 200 registrants. Screw the prestige! Let them eat yesterday's skyline chili leftovers that have been dumped on the ground by the dumpster and if they are lucky, a staff member will hose the down with reclaimed urinal water!

Park is cashless now. And running cards for . 45 cents would probably cost the park more than that in cars fees.

Desserts will be an extra 8.00 each, or you can get a season long dessert add on for 80.00. Tap water is always free, of course, for Prestige Pass suckers... passholders.

I hope he blossoms this season. I didn't see him around as much as Chef Major and Chef Nate, but I was very impressed when Meteor Canteen had new employees last may, and were short staffed. He came in and worked the location. When an executive does the work of a front line worker, it speaks volumes to me.

It is a shame because Kings Island was leading the pack when Chef Nathan and then Chef Majors were at the helm. It's great to present new food items but the implementation is key. Grain and grill is awesome for the sides, but the protein, in my experience, has been subpar. And could they please listen to the customer and remove the bone in chicken and replace with boneless skinless breasts?

I wonder how many of the hard working performers and staff have been downsized because of the budget cuts? The live entertainment has been decimated.

I'm sorry you (apparently) never got to experience Coasterstock. This is essentially a plussed version of the Coasterstock blueprint. While it's more expensive than Coasterstock, I still think it's a good value and I'm excited because I've never been to a national Ace event. The bts of sign shop and bat and AE are things I've never done. I was hoping for more guest speakers (Denny, I could listen to all day as well as gravity group) but they are Coasterstock regulars. I think more non locals will gain a better appreciation for Kings Island with this event, which frankly, I hope is contagious to the local enthusiasts. In spite of budget cuts and corporate politics, we have a true gem here, and familiarity breeds contempt. I'm hoping that acers who dont get to ki frequently will reignite the energy of 2022. Fof Btw is great! Whatever you do, don't miss The Beast bts. That's worth the event price in and if itself.

When I was a college student, I spent a year in Yellowstone National Park working for a lodging concessionaire. On site dorms. We had college students, retired people, middle aged and the whole lot living in harmony. I'll never forget Granny Betty and Uncle Frank. Long live Wapiti and Tatonka dorms!
