Driving to work this morning, I thought it was fitting that a thick fog covered the entire area... Like mystic timbers was coming to life already. Note that you can normally see the entire Kings Island skyline from this point of the highway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Kings Island? Or are we listing the wait times for everything here now. If that's the case then the current wait time to check out at the Kroger by my house is 4 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live just across the little Miami river... In fact I can see my house from the high lift hills and attractions. It's a different magic. It's magic when you know it just rained and the park will be empty, so you head over to do walk ons. Or going so often that you feel like you know the actors in the shows, and will head over on certain days to see certain shows because you've memorized the schedule. Or not wanting to cook dinner, so you go to use your season dining plan. It's not really magic, but I know what my family loves and we have fun doing it. It can be a nice treat for the kids to sit on our front lawn and stay up for the fireworks. It's magic, but a different kind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Frankly I think it's odd that buses get such "prime" parking. Buses should drop people off by the handicap lot drop off and then bus and RV parking should be I the very back of the lot where there are always spots. Furthermore, this time of year there are hardly any buses... It's ridiculous to keep that area "open" for buses... During the final days of the school year I would understand handing out "tickets", but to do it today just seems like the wrong fight to pick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw this last weekend for the first time

Agree, I saw that one... But it was on the ramp up to the station... Seemed like I'd they really want wait times for purposes of crowd sourcing, they would post these after the ride, on the exit side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw these signs on multiple lines, but it was a day that I also took a survey when I excited the park that was all about FunTV. I'm guessing these scanners in line were actually a way to get you into the survey to ask you about funtv. Especially since I only saw the sign in the middle of cues... But not actually in the station (where total wait time would actually be more accurate) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is also a charge station in the fest haus near panda... Haven't seen one at soak yet, although I don't go into buildings there much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this what was on that elevated concrete circle that is in coney mall near Dinosaurs Alive entrance? If not, what used to be there? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe this is in another thread... I saw an electric billboard today (near Rockwood heading north on 71) which advertised "Christmas in July" July 25-30 at Kings Island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is it and what do you order it with?

Vegetables are no longer a side option at panda express... I can no longer fool myself that panda had a healthy option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stand across from restrooms by backlot... Aka stand across from rivertown la Rosa. You got options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a box of Diana's bananas at aldi for $4? for a box of 6. They only had plain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slower today... Although it's picking up and it's sticky hot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never doubt Chuck. Good luck getting one though since this place is rarely open and they don't actually have it or it's price listed on their menu. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

there is a picture of one on a window... I definitely saw that this past week... Unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it... Maybe the tropical smoothie stand that is rarely open? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We bring our own water bottles all the time. We usually bring them with our own water and ice. Some are clear, others are not. We have never had an issue. In general, if we ask for a concession stand to refill our bottle, they will only do so if the part of the bottle that contacts your mouth can be separated and stays with you... The link you provided had that. If I bring just a nalgene or other bottle where I drink straight from the rim, then they shouldn't be handling that. In those cases you can get kinzel cups and refill yourself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that there are permanent structures to shade the security guards at the main entrance and Soak City I've seen them doing checks every single visit. I don't think they are random anymore... I think this is the new normal. Personally I believe the wait is worth the security... Both to myself as well as to the public relations of the park to prevent an incident from happening in their park. I'm frankly surprised by how offended people are by this process. I can assure I have never waited as long in this line as my shortest wait at CVG airport security.

The shows. Origins is fantastic... the dog show has some good moments... Off the charts is a great show... Fireworks at closing. I don't care much for the peanuts show or any of the festhaus shows. Dinosaurs Alive is a decent time killer too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a local I've been many times in thunder storms... It's pretty rare that everything closes down. Soak City will close... And the rides listed above... But the park itself still runs. They will do things like rub less trains so that you don't have to sit out in the rain at the brake station as long. If rides are closed it's posted on the entrance ticket booth... So technically you get a heads up before you scan your ticket in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Banshee twice, origins show, panda express, racer, potato works... Next 90 minutes. No wait anywhere. Amazing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dodgem closes at chance of rain due to the slippery floor. Flying ace closes pretty easily in inclement weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's glorious. No rain. No lines. I've walked on, beast, Diamondback, Adventure Express, Vortex, backlot, gliders, and WindSeeker all in the past hour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
