When I asked the production company for any details, they said nine would be released until opening night. They did say that the format would be similar to past productions, specifically: "The show will be the same format as the previous ones (30 minutes, 3 times per day, 6 days per week, 10 artists)."

I'm guessing it will be packed Friday. Sure there isn't a new coaster, but the weather Friday night looks great and Saturday looks bad... Plus, the change last year allowing ALL pass holders (vs only those that renewed by the previous fall) meant a ton more people are included now... And it showed last year. I wish they would go back to fall renewals only... But I see no business reason to do that (as it could discourage people from buying if they miss the deadline... And I doubt anyone decided to not buy a gold pass once the benefit of a quiet preview night was eliminated). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why no sides? My family has celiac and they were able to eat the Cole slaw at island smoke house. Hopefully this location will have corn cob as an option as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on Kings Island comments on their Facebook page, they are not starting it's a gluten free restaurant... But that it will have plenty of gluten free options... But it seems like cross contamination will be possible. That said, my celiac family has had good results at island smokehouse (which isn't a dedicated gf facility) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't care for the Mac and cheese bar during winter fest... But I'm hopeful that this new location will follow the water park location and offer smoked meat as part of the all season dining plan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure why you're asking. If you've never been on it, and your coming.. Then I'd say it's at least good enough to try it and decide for yourself. Are you honestly considering not even trying it if people in this forum said it was "not good"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw this today: https://cf-ki.secure.accesso.com/packageList/keyword/Daily%20Tickets?merchant_id=9248&emerchant_id=500&username=KITravelzoo&password=kingsisland One day ticket as low as $37 (plus fees). Seems like a decent price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please remove if this isn't allowed... But I messaged Les Productions Haut-Vol (company who created the last two cirque shows) via Facebook and they confirmed that they have a brand new show for Kings Island for 2018! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So ki food blog retweeted cp food blog... But aren't both of those not actually officially Cedar Fair sources... So it's really no different from me tweeting something (possibly false) and then citing it here in the forum as a source just because it was tweeted by someone. Am I wrong here... Is cp food blog actually in the know and a legitimate source? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Complete History of a Kings Island Ghost
chuck norris replied to KIghostguy's topic in Kings Island History
So this is interesting... Her brother William was born Oct 30, 1840... Per that headstone. So you know... Human biology says that Missouri Jane could not have been born June 27, 1840 (only 4 months before her brother)... According to social security death records for William, he was actually born in 1841... So that would make sense (in terms of Missouri Jane being his biological sister), but it makes his headstone wrong. Also of interest, Per the kings mills Ohio Wikipedia page... There was a town in that area named gainsboro that was started in 1815... But it didn't prosper and eventually kings mills was established in 1884. So it's plausible that Missouri Jane, and her brother William, were born in this Gainsboro area, and then their family left for Illinois after Missouri Jane passed (1846) but before their next sibling (nancy 1856) was born... They possibly left when the town of Gainsboro (now kings mills) disbanded. Or Gainsboro could have been long gone by 1840... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Thanks kighostguy.. I'll go search more. Where did you find the info about a younger brother? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Complete History of a Kings Island Ghost
chuck norris replied to KIghostguy's topic in Kings Island History
I'm into genealogy... Not so much ghost... So I found the history intro interesting. Do you have a full picture of the headstone, or a full transcription of the text? Using genealogy tools/websites, I can find record of Stephen and Nancy galeener (maiden name malsbury), and records for at least two children they had... The first (i can find) is Nancy Alice (jr), born 1856 in Ohio. This matches, and she would have been 4 when Missouri Jane passed. The second is Stephen Clifton (jr) , who was born in February 1860, after the family had moved to Illinois. This matches the statement at the end, of Missouri Jane's parents being buried in Illinois... But seems odd that brother Stephen Clifton would have been born in February of 1860 in Illinois if she was born later that same year, but back in Ohio. I can't find any Ohio birth records for Missouri Jane, but I also can't find birth records for the siblings above... The info I have is from their Illinois marriage certificates later in their lives, or death certificates, or birth certificates of their children (referencing parents birthday)... So likely the Ohio records from that time weren't kept or are not yet digitized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Top five things you'd like to bring back/change
chuck norris replied to IheartKI's topic in Kings Island
Montgomery inn bbq sauce at chicken shack (vs the Heinz sauce)... Or even the smokehouse bbq sauce instead of Heinz. That's it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Other tips related to three topics... Patent swap, you get a form at guest services when you enter... One parent waits in the coaster line with big kid(s), other parent hands with the little kid(s). Then at some point you swap. When the first parent rides, the ride attendant mark the form which does two things... It essentially validates it for the other parent to use the Fast Lane... And it marks that ride as "used" so you can't do the swap again. The parts of this we sometimes have trouble with are that it works best if the second parent rides immediately after, as the attendants remember their specific mark... But for a family, it works better to swap a few times per day. Also, it can be hit or miss about how many older kids can re ride with you... As they are essentially skipping the line too and making the line longer for others... But if they can't skip it and aren't old enough to wait alone then the parent can't really ride either. Most of the workers are pretty chill about it. Regarding food... You can load all of your family passes into the ki app... And then into Apple passbook. So then you stunt have to take multiple physical passes into the park... And if parents split up, either one can grab food for the family. Keep in mind your family needs to be in the park per the rules of the dining plan. Finally, if you have a stroller, we've never had issues bringing in our own small water bottles and just leaving them on the stroller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have two members of our family with celiac. We've had good luck with the fest haus made to order gf pizza. We've also had good luck with the non beaded meats and Cole slaw in the smokehouse... The meats are now available at hanks burrito. We're still trying to confirm if the tater tots at hanks (sub for Mac and cheese) have gluten.. We assume yes since we haven't gotten a confirmed no. Potato works in Coney mall used to be a special treat for them, as they never get breaded chicken and rarely can eat fries... But if they bring a year round smokehouse to the dining plan they will be happy. I've heard the turkey dinner plate option at la Rosa can be gluten free, but haven't tried it yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In addition to the Mac bar in hanks, the other addition to the dining plan for winterfest is a ham or Turkey dinner plate (with sides) available at fest haus la Rosa Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd say put it in the general one, as it might lead into menu changes for next season. Either way, any updates (additions) to the dining plan? Can you post a photo of the dining plan options? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fyi.. I asked my winterfest question here because I don't look in the "coming attractions" thread for posts as most of them are actually speculation posts. Since others are asking questions in the main forum, can an admin move the winterfest thread to this forum? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can we move this thread into the "Kings Island discussing" forum instead of coming attractions? I never look in this forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
