[emoji2363] While they're at it, they should use bearings that never need grease and wood that never rots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes... Although it was a special... So it wasn't on the menu board, nor did it even have a placard. I usually always check to see what new options are there... As it keeps the dining plan "exciting" add the season goes on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today's special at the smoke house... Gumbo. Includes your choice of side and a hush puppy, a well as corn bread. Served over white rice. Nice flavor, light spice (more than most park food), and I always enjoy trying a new option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice... Although I still maintain that if they can do wait times and update show times in the app, they could also update restaurant open /closed status within the app. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know many liked the noodles... But when they didn't move fast enough and sat too long, they got nasty... So in that regard I like that it's just rice now, which they can keep fresher. I was disappointed they dropped the mixed veggie option... As it seemed moderately healthy... But that's been gone longer than the noodles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's not nearly as cold nor as wet as last night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stood outside the fest haus waiting for noon... Nothing happened. Has anyone seen it "animate"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some new signage in The Beast que Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That seems like a mess... Everything I've seen said the first 40 trains on Saturday... I mean honestly, how many people come on opening day who don't have a gold pass??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Food service today was pretty good, although crowds were light. I street la Rosa had both sides open, so checkout was quick. The line at Coney BBQ was long but moved pretty well... Until the cashier. Cashiers were quick with normal payments and dining plans, but when people wanted to add on all season drinks it seemed to really slow down the check out. I wish early season they would open express checkout lines for dining plan and credit card customers only... And people paying cash or wanting to add a drink plan could use a slower line (which they could staff with a more experienced cashier or manager) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I heard them as well and confirmed they were from KI. My guess is that they were practicing the show for tomorrow night... But since it's just a practice they didn't need to wait until 10pm to do it, a that's later for the employees to be out, and it's more annoying for residents. I'm hopeful this is another indication that the fireworks will be even better than ever this year, with the addition of the new fountains. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got to experience carowinds yesterday. Wow, their food was top notch... And it was day 3 of normal operation. Service was a little slow... But I didn't encounter a single person at a register that truly had no clue what they were doing. Harmony house is a dining plan parents dream... You mean every member of my family can get exactly what they want and I only have to wait in one line? And options of really good salads... Like one with rice, beans, quinoa, cheese, and greens with my choice of smoked meat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is also my family's first summer of platinum after many gold seasons at KI. We planned our spring break trip to myrtle beach last week so that we could hit carowinds on the way home! Have an epic road trip planned the first week of June where we'll do 10 days and hit: Carowinds, kings dominion, dorney park, knoebels (it looks inexpensive and it's literally on the way), & Canada's wonderland. A trip already planned for Cedar Point, although I'm sure there will be more. A trip to southern California where we plan to do: Legoland, knotts, & six flags magic mountain. Last year we had 50 visits to Kings Island... With all the other parks/trips, I expect this year to be less... But we'll still probably get in 30+ trips or so depending on what the weather is like in the fall and winter. I'm very happy we decided to do season platinum dining!

Let's see if panda holds the line on the 1 entree (vs 2)... Recall they tried to do this last year and it reverted back to 2. It's a nice option, but if it's 1 I'll probably never get it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plus, with them out, it makes more space for ice skating at winterfest Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The best part about this... Dining plan!!! I'm way more excited allot this than antique cars... It's a shame they didn't announce it sooner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The cost to you to upgrade will actually be the current price of platinum, minus the price you actually paid for gold. So if you got the gold when they were cheaper, or on a discount buyout day, the delta between current platinum what you paid may be higher than current platinum and current gold prices. Same will apply to your dining plan... You'll need to pay current platinum dining price minus the actual gold dining price that you paid when you bought it. But yes, you can do it.

At least KI offers gold. At CP the only options are season pass (without free parking) or platinum pass. That said, I do think it would be nice if all the parks had a perk for platinum passes.... But honestly getting entry and "gold perks" at every park seems good enough for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The "snow" I've seen on international street is actually tiny soap bubbles. I have seen actual snow machines at KI. I would imagine the soap water would freeze and doesn't work if the temperature drops too low... Perhaps that's why you haven't seen it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's the buffet option for dining plan? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I figured that, but the way I read the website was that there is early ride time for every public opening day, except Fridays of Haunt & (Fridays of) winterfest. But I guess it's actually supposed to read more like: except Fridays of Haunt & (all of) winterfest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.visitkingsisland.com/tickets-passes/season-pass-early-ride-times Anyone know what is open for winterfest ERT for gold pass members? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great wolf is expensive... Especially in the winter (as people seek indoor entertainment)... Especially on weekends (we people are available). You can often get deals on week nights... But rarely weekends. You could just do a night there.. And then mix in another hotel and other indoor activities during the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Backlot and racer are not near any trees that could potentially fall.. They also aren't as tall as most of the other coasters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
