Gannersdaddy Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Not really said but did. At the park today, we got a nice good soaking rain. Any and all shelter spots were full. Afterward, while walking through Rivertown, I noticed a large line waiting for White Water Canyon to open. 90% of those in line were dry. 8 Quote
JCJTheHurricane Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 Similar to @VortexBFForever's situation, I was working WindSeeker one day and I looked up and just saw a puff of vape smoke go out to the side from one of the seats... Thought it was a little amusing then told the driver to spiel about not smoking or vaping on rides. Also if I had a quarter for every time I've heard a guest say or ask something about Vortex sinking, I would probably have enough money to dig the thing out of the ground. 1 1 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 A group of people were discussing how DB was taller than Drop Tower in the queue for DT. Not sure if their mind was changed after seeing themselves being raised over DB? 2 Quote
JCJTheHurricane Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 I really thought it was kind of hard to believe that people think Adventure Express is somehow the Son of Beast, until I was walking to Vortex today. A woman was talking to her group and said that they used to have Son of Beast but then it became Adventure Express. 1 3 Quote
nicescoot Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 At Surf Dog a child wasn't tall enough to ride and I told the parents the height requirement and they just responded with "they should really put that at the front of the line".......... 4 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 While we were getting lunch at Coney Smokehouse today a group of guests with souvenir cups in hand was hanging around outside the exit. As soon as we opened the door to head out after getting our food, they squeezed past us into the restaurant. I told them "This isn't an entrance" and they looked at me like I was crazy. Apparently walking through the line to get your souvenir cup refilled is too hard. 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 You don't even have to walk through the line. There is a straight shoot from the front door to the registers, bypassing the queue. 2 Quote

Apparently walking through the line to get your souvenir cup refilled is too hard. As I have reported elsewhere, many people do that and skip the register and don't get the cup scanned, effectively bypassing the 15-min waiting period... And in some places like International Street Skyline and Hanks and Chicken Shack, these people skipping the line actually slow down the entire line. More times than i can remember, I have literally had food in hand heading to drink dispenser and 7-8 come in through exit and jump in front of me at drinks and avoid register all together... 2 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 While all of that is unfortunate it would be much less of a problem if the park were not so stingy with opening up dedicated refill stations. 8 1 Quote
disco2000 Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 ^and get their ice problem worked out LOL. When I would see this happen at Hanks, the refill station to the left upon exiting Hanks was open but empty of guests...with ice dispensed all over and non left in the machines 1 Quote

sixohdieselrage Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I heard some guests talk about "Kings Dominion" while I was there yesterday. They were saying "Why have another park less than 20 minutes away from KI, and why is it they advertise alot of coasters when they dont have any." I later found out they got confused with "Kings Domain" off of 350 in the Little Miami River valley. I thought it was amusing. 1 3 Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I remember one guest talking to his friend while in the que for Boo Blasters and he said “Yeah they tore down Son of Beast and replaced it with Adventure Express!” Quote

JubJester Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 This guy who was with his family took 4 attempts to get past the metal detector. As many people know, metal will go off if you walk through a metal detector. This guy tried to walk through with a wallet, a cellphone, a huge set of keys, and bunch of coins. Each time it went off, he would only remove one of these. Apparently not understanding "remove cellphones, wallets, and other metal items". He asked, "Is it my underwear?" In attempt to be funny. Eventually he had everything out and it went off because of his belt, but he was good to move on. Before leaving he said, "I guess it was just my belt." Apparently he still didn't get what metal was. 2 1 Quote
JubJester Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Sorry for the double post, I was at Cedar Point. Should of made that clear. I did not buy the park out yesterday. Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 One day during the Paramount days I heard a guest say “I can’t find the Eiffel Tower!” My reaction: Quote
silver2005 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 ^That's a fairly common question that I got a lot when I worked there. Also got a few questions about how to find Cedar Point coasters at KI. 1 Quote

kingsislandfan1972 Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Guests with regular tickets in the morning : “Hey why do those guys get to go in the park early?” *Referring to Goldpass holders* Quote
chad_1138 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 This is more of a did. We got off The Racer just now and observed a family having their kids climb over the fence by the troll to get a picture with it. I’m just thinking, “This is why we can’t have nice things.” 2 Quote

kingsislandfan1972 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Literally while I was waiting in line for Beast yesterday a girl turned around looked at Diamondback and said “Wait is that The Beast?” I turned to her and said “That’s Diamondback, welcome to Kings Island!” 1 Quote
