That's completely fine by me - makes total sense and reduces the fear I had, which was people clumping up together at the entrance. I like this plan!

Oh fantastic! So they ARE letting people in the park before 11! @DonHelbig - please consider this my public apology. Thank you!

Now let's see how that area looks in 15 minutes.

I've spoken to someone that's "near the front" and arrived at 8am.

Completely agreed. 10:30 now, so let's see what happens next.

The problem with that is they can't cycle the 10:30 group through, because they're not opening the park up until 11 - so the 10:30 group sits and waits in front of the entrance (can't social distance there, either, with that many people).

Yep! I'm a massive Stephen King fan so I always appreciate any reference I get.

Agreed. So far so good. My concern lies in what happens between 10:30-11...we shall see. I will publicly apologize to @DonHelbig if I'm wrong, since he dropped Jack Torrance on me above

Right, I just meant that they've opened it up to line people up at the tolls.

I'm guessing not as bad now that they've opened the gate and lined them up at the booths.

I appreciate the reference, but I'm still extremely concerned at how 10:30 won't result in people bunched up waiting for the turnstiles to open, if actual park access won't occur until 11. I hope I'm wrong, sir!

I'm hearing that the line to get into the parking lot is already all the way out to the street. An hour and a half before the lot opens. Opening the lot at 10:30 was a really terrible idea.

Yeah I printed it out just to be safe. It does show as a clickable option on the app, and it has the barcode to be scanned...it just says "None" as part of the meal plan on the pass itself. EDIT: Just fixed it myself by deleting the pass and rescanning it. I think that needed done anyway, because they were showing as 2020 KI gold passes, and we have platinum.

Had another dining plan question. We bought the plan tonight, and the voucher shows up on my KI app...but when I click on our platinum pass, it says "NONE" for meal plan. Should I be concerned about this?

So masks were or weren't enforced? Seeing conflicting information here.

I agree. I have a 10:30 timeslot on Friday and I'm dreading it. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, especially if it's true (as stated by a KI staff member on a Facebook group) that they will not let anyone inside the park at all until 11am.

Same for Holiday World. They pretty much have to stay at 50% capacity now.

Just received a reply to my email to KI asking about Whitewater Canyon being open, and the person said it "hasn't been determined yet" if it will be. I have a difficult time believing that they don't know if a ride will be open 17 hours before opening day.

Also a 10:30 spot on Friday, and this too is our plan.

In fairness, that doesn't mean you have a 0.3% chance of catching it But listen, I agree with you. With the mask policy and drastically reduced capacity KI is one of the safer activities there is right now.

Don't get me started. Extremely upset about that - I think if that ultimately does occur, we'll be the next hotspot. I'm taking my trip to Kings Island, my trip to Cedar Point (just reserved a 2nd day) and I'm done for the year, most likely.

Indiana still holding steady - despite that, we're pausing reopening where it is other than some select outdoor activities. We were basically supposed to go to full reopening on July 4. Impressed with our leadership for having the courage to do this DESPITE our numbers being steady.

As they should be. It should be nationwide.

I'm not trying to be "that guy", but do you have a source for this? This doesn't really sound like a scientific theory, and more just some random guess.

But I thought coronavirus was just like the flu?!?!?!?!
