    Mystic Timbers Theming Down

    in Kings Island

    Posted

    That would be a shame if it was a copyright issue with the shed's specific playlist.... When I rode Friday, I didn't hear the radio either, which I thought was odd...
    ...so I started singing parts of the songs myself!

    My kids and I have done this the past few weeks. They pick a song (from the Former playlist) and we sing away.

    I’m sure it costs money to use those songs. Maybe that’s it?

    Maybe… if so, that’s too bad… as they play copywritten songs all over the park, so it’s hard to imagine the right to a few more were a deal breaker.

    If they had to change the songs, that would actually be a fun upgrade… but removing them altogether was sad for me.

    The shed theming has been back working for a few weeks now… however the shed “fun” music never returned. The “radio” still turns on… but it just plays “creepy sounds”.

    Does anyone here know why they stopped playing the music?

    I may have missed it - and I know there are two conversion machines in the front..  does anyone know where the others are located?

    There are two right after you enter the turnstiles, at the front.
    There is one by each of the spots where paper maps used to be.

    I have a few issues with this. First and foremost,  my cash says right on it "this note is legal tender for all debts public and private"
     
    What that means is they cannot legally reject my cash payment. 
     
    Next, will everything in the park be switched to a flat $ amount after tax? I can't put an exact amount on the card at a kiosk. 
     
    I don't think its fair to be forced to add $10 to a card for something that costs $9.75.  Will there be ways to get $ back off my card if not used or does the park get to keep that?
     
    Worse yet would be the card issuer charging me for $ deposited that I can't use during the 4 months the park is closed.  Winterfest ends, park doesn't open until spring... thats more than 90 days. 
     
    Just a few issues I have with cashless.

    I don’t think the legal tender argument is valid.
    Kings Island as an establishment will still accept cash… just only at their cash to card machines.

    In this way, it’s no different than Dave and busters game card or Chuck E Cheese tokens… as they exchange cash into a system that’s accepted within the place.

    And even better, it’s not like they are only giving you park credits in return… it’s a legit cash card.
    So if you do end up with 25 cents on it, just use that card at the next place you shop and get the full amount off of it. It’s not like Kings Island is stealing your money… it’s on the card, which you can use anywhere that accepts card.

    Interesting experience today on wind seeker.
    After multiple attempts to check the seats of larger riders, they announced that there was an issue and that a few riders would need to exit the ride.
    They then proceeded to ask ALL the larger riders to exit (there were 5 different seats that were asked to exit) I’ve never seen this before for one person, let alone 5.

    My question… does wind seeker not have the ability to alert the ride ops to exactly what seat isn’t “closing”? And thus they have to try to guess which seats… and if they can’t guess it right after a few tries they just have to remove all the larger people and then they know they “got it” when they ride says it’s all ready?

    It really didn’t seem like the coasters, where they can call out a specific seat number and then they check it and push on it until the main operator gives them the thumbs up… it’s like they had to get everyone right… then check…

    Flight of Fear is only comfortable with people with extremely small feet.  There is no room in the floorboard unlike back yard.  Premier trains like on full throttle are even better.

    The second row on each car has more foot room, As it isn’t over the wheel.

    We enjoyed the Ham and Cheese Croissant, but I hated those fries. They were like the awful mini potato sticks from salad bars of old. I wish they would swap them out with a nice kettle chip bag. 

    I like the “fries”… although I think it helps to think of them as skinny potato chips… and if so they taste like what you expect (a potato chip)

    Today I had to wait an extra minute for the cashier to put coins into his register before he could scan my pass for my meal.

    I mean it was only a minute… but I kept thinking “at a minimum they need a cashless line option” glad to hear they are making the jump.

    We have ate at the French Corner several times now. We have enjoyed it. If it was me I would make sandwich 2/3 the size they are now and give out 2. Otherwise a great option.

    It’s definitely not filling, and I wouldn’t turn down a 1/3 more sandwich… but it’s still my preferred location for a healthy feeling lunch.

    Maybe they could bulk it up a bit more with a slice of tomato and some mixed greens on the sandwich.

    I was at the park from noon to 1:30.
    Diamondback and Orion were both walk on.
    We did a few laps of each, ate lunch, then went home.

    I assume it will get busier as more come for the evening/fireworks… but I couldn’t believe it was this dead for a holiday weekend.
