Island Smokehouse now open at Soak City
Gannersdaddy replied to malem's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Just ate there today for 2nd meal. Here's my take: The area it's self is nice. Let's hope it is maintained. I found a killer new drink combo that I hope sticks around (Mello Yellow zero limeade) With one side open and a line to the door, the folks were really hustling. I did appreciate that. As for the food, we sampled as much as we could. Pulled pork: Not bad. I have had better and worse. Seemed too wet and lost the smoky flavor. The sauce was OK also. I maybe should have got the hotter one. Shrimp: Again, OK. A little fishy. Did not see any sauce. I do have to applaud a new food item at the park. I had half and my son had the rest. We had 10 on our plate Chicken tenders: really good. Nice and moist with a light crust. I think a little better than chicken shack. Mac and cheese: Good. I had one bite and my son devoured the rest. Again, a good item for the park Smoked baked beans: Really good. I have never had them like that. Spicy hot but not overpowering. I will have these again Corn pudding: Pretty good as well. I had a corner piece. I will get this again. Overall, a really good place to eat. I will be stopping by guest services to give them kudos. I have not really been paying attention, but will this place stay open after labor day? -
Riding Drop Tower today, they did the 10 9 8 (drop). As I had read about it here, I was ready but got a kick out of the other folks on the ride that were not

We did the same. Had to go Beast as Diamondback sold out

I forgot about this. Oh well, still planning on going to the park this weekend. Friday should be interesting, as the forecast is for thunderstorms all day and night

Just noticed that they are doing it again this Sunday. I guess last Sunday was a bust? https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/gold-platinum-pass-bring-friends-day

Haunt will be here before you know it

Out of curiosity, is anyone here doing the Coaster Campout?

Over the PA system at the park

They just announced Soak City is closing today at 3
-
Getting in at 9 should not be a problem. If all you want is a Beast night ride, head straight there. As long as you are in line at closing, you can ride. As it draws close to the end, they will call out that they are only running so many more trains, so a front ride may not happen. Also, they shut Beast down for fireworks but it should not be a problem. After that, if you have time, see if you can hit Mystic Timbers on the way out. In any case, enjoy!

It is. Usually 5 to 15 bucks more on weekends

CoasterMania & HoliWood Nights 2017
Gannersdaddy replied to malem's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
HW is not too packed today. Voyage is having estop issues that will hopefully be fixed by ERT. I love the reuse policy here. We did 2 rides on Legend without gettingout because there was no one waiting to get on that seat. My son was consoling someone that had to take a WOS -

Tuesday after Memorial Day crowds?
Gannersdaddy replied to angela@birthlouisville.com's topic in Kings Island
Not sure how the crowds will be, but I would wait until you get to the park to check the crowds before buying. There is no discount for purchasing Fast Lane plus online versus at the park. I would expect it not to be too bad, but the forecast looks good. If you have a gold pass (or platinum), the ERT lets you get in a half hour early. This month is Diamondback and Mystic Timbers, so you can get these ridden early as they tend to draw a lot of folks. Have fun Tuesday and welcome to KIC! -
Just got in the park. A lot of busses in the lot. In line for Diamondback. Looks like a 10 minute wait. Edit: Lines moving quickly. Within an hour rose Diamondback once, Mystic Timbers three times and ate at Chic Fil A.
-
Food lines are walkon also! !

Arrived 11:30, Diamondback walkon x2. Mystic Timbers was down but just came back up. No ques open but rest is to the gate
