  1. They keep flirting with this idea of mobile food ordering. I think there’s still a “coming soon” at the front of juke box.

    I’d love for this to be added. It works so well at six flags to keep people from having to wait in food lines.

  2. Wait??? KK has Dollywood cinnamon bread? I’m torn between ready to drive down, and depressed the uniqueness is gone. 

    Yes. KK has added a cinnamon bread location… just like KI now (or usually) offers cinnamon bread in French corner.

    Neither are as good as Dollywood.

  3. I ef9e77f9a2f48d6e5383764acab4b386.jpg

    Tried French quarter again.
    Pro - asked for lettuce on the Sammy and they delivered.
    Con- as bad as the undercooked potato side was, the “Italian slaw” was inedible. I like vinegar based slaw… but this was white cabbage in Italian dressing. Hard pass.

    Guess I’ll try the pasta salad next time.

    Bring back the potato straws.

  4. I enjoyed a to go Italian croissant with potato salad yesterday at the French Corner. Last year, I was a little disappointed with the French Corner. Hopefully menu items have improved, because I prefer smaller yet more tasty portion sizes.

    I really enjoy French quarter when I’m looking for something lighter. Although the potatoes were not cooked enough and were still a little crunchy, so I’ll probably try a different side next time.

    Larosa's breadsticks are now half in size or at least seemed to be half LOL.


    They were shorter… not half.. and fatter. I thought they were the same total volume…

    Anyone get food or go through Festhaus? Does the inside still have that weird smell? The smell is one of the main reasons I can't eat in there, which is unfortunate because I like Panda and Pizza. 


    We got la Rosa in the fest haus. I didn’t notice a smell. The floors are all completely redone.

    Some folks above mentioned the new fries at coney and the sushi/empanada option at brew house (not clear if that’s on dining plan). Both are called out in todays food blog.

  6. I don’t know if they’re working at at all, now. They didn’t scan my pass to get in about 45 minutes ago. 

    This morning they just stopped trying to scan and let people in by just showing your card.
    All the dining places still worked even though we hadn’t officially scanned in.
    The two times we got in line for food (fest haus la Rosa and hanks burrito shack) the POS terminals went offline and we just had to wait for them to come back.

  7. We started a six flags membership last summer. So I’m addition to Kings Island (gold pass) we’ll be focusing on six flags parks this summer.

    Last summer we did a road trip of six flags eastern coast: America, Great adventure, New England, Darian lake, & great escape.

    This year (since it’s “good” for 12 months since we purchased it) we already hit over Georgia and plan to also get to:
    Over Texas
    Fiesta
    Frontier city
    St. Louis
    Great America
    & possibly Magic Mountain

    Next year we’ll either go back to platinum Cedar Fair (although Cedar Point has been pretty bad since they added the gold pass for there) or try Busch gardens/sea World passes.

  8. Six Flags has two meal plans, a regular one which is one meal and a snack.  Then a deluxe meal plan which is two meals and a snack.  Both allow you to substitute a snack in place of a meal.
    I really want a deluxe meal plan at Cedar Fair, I am willing to pay extra to get a snack every visit.

    I’d even be content with the current plan (2 meals, 4 hours between), but allow me to use a meal credit on a “snack item” if i so choose instead of a meal.

  9. A massive collection of utility trucks was staged today in the south end of the Kings Island parking lot. Looks like at least 50+ trucks were there by this evening (with the portable parking lot lights on them) when I drove past around 9pm.

     

    Presumably preparing for the ice/snow storms that are forecast to hit the area tonight.

     

    Glad to see KI supporting the community with the space. Hopefully this effort proves unnecessary.

    Finally made it to chicken shack for winterfest. Very good. Got the smoked wings, which included fries and toast (during the season the meal didn’t include the toast unless you got salad). Yes, I ate some toast prior to photo ;)

    Special honey mint garlic sauce, which tasted mostly like honey… didn’t taste mint nor garlic, but the honey glaze was tasty.

  11. ^ Did The Racer what? 

    I think he was asking “did The Racer lose their ace status when they retracked it this summer”.

    Although it’s not a relevant question since The Racer didn’t change its layout or angles. They just replaced old wood for new.

    As previously mentioned, The Beast is an ace landmark as a historic addition to coaster history. None of that changes with this retrack… especially as it will continue to be as long, tall, and fast as it was when it was originally given the ACE designation.

  12. What video? Also again it’s plausible that it’s a case oF mistaken identity given how dark it is at Winterfest. For instance this season during Winterfest I was accused of filming on a ride even though I hadn’t. Not saying they’re innocent.

    There’s a video news story in the included link. In that story they talk about how these kids visit the park regularly, and include some footage of them in the park on previous visits (from their own cell phones). One of those videos is of them on The Racer, filming themselves. In the case of on ride filming (which wasn’t what ban was supposedly based on), this isn’t just an accusation… it’s a self incriminating video they shared with the news reporter.

    Bread bowls on the dining plan

    I got there right after opening.

    The photo of the Turkey pot pie bowl was the first one I was served. The bread was hard as a rock, literally I could not bite the lid. Fortunately I said something to the staff, and they apologized and immediately remade it with fresh bread. Final product (which I didn’t think to photograph) was great.
    Net: if you get there close to opening on a day that was open the night before, (Ie next week Monday-Friday)… be sure to check that you’re not served day old; pre cut bowls.

  14. Well since the year is almost over and each visit this season makes a new personal high for me 90 visits after 6 Winterfest visits. I finished this season with 1245 rides on Orion making my 2 year total 1522, this year I had nearly 1800 total rides on rollercoasters and added 24 new credits to my total bringing me to 150 different coasters ridden. I attempted to hit 100 rides on Orion twice this past season failing each time mostly due to issues with the ride but did hit a high of 69 rides in one trip. You can usually find me at the park hanging out with fellow passholder Jeff Hellman. If anyone else out there is over 1000 rides or getting close come find me, even if you are not say hi I love meeting fellow coaster lovers.  I am going to try and get in 50 new credits next year to hit the 200 mark but only time will tell. See ya all at the park

    My family got 6 flags memberships this summer and hit the following in one week, gaining 44 new credits in the process.


    America
    Great adventure
    New England
    Great escape
    Darian lake

    What’s your plan for hitting 50 next year?
