cassie_KY Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi all. Been reading this site for about a year and a half now. Have to feed the addiction somehow! We went to opening day Sunday and I saw an adult wearing an orange (it may have been yellow with orange writing) bracelet with the King's Island lettering. It was one of those paper ones like the kids get, so he would not have bought it anywhere as it is something disposable. Just wondering what it meant? Thanks so much!

The Interpreter Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 It was probably for some group thing....like soft drinks at no additional charge all day, or for entry to the group's picnic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketingExpress Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Probably for access to the picnic grove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie_KY Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks much! Was certain it was something simple. It was the only one I saw that day, but then, on opening day, I had my eyes pointed upwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I did see a picnic event going on at the picnic grove on Sunday, but my guess would be a wrist band to show ride operators that they are under a certain height and the color is orange in the height guide. You Must Be Under: 80” Tall to ride Drop Tower – Firehawk 78” Tall to ride Invertigo 76” Tall to ride Delirium - Run Away Retar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianapolisman Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The wristbaands are for the parent swap program I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thats a great idea for the ride wristbands .. gets rid of any waiting in line and then getting ticked off that you cant ride it for people who don't know the requirements. Hopefully they do that all year that is a nice added feature from Cedar Fair .. they really are doing a fabulous job at Kings Island in my opinion.

The Interpreter Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The ride measurement program existed under Paramount, as well. Guest relations used to do the measuring at the front of the park, then later in the information booth under the Eiffel Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kwindshawne Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 One thing I learned about this year was the green wristband for kids. Put it on the child and write the parents cell # (if they have one) on it-speeds up the process of reuniting each other if they get separated. I dont remember them last year if they were available at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, even when they thought they were doing well.... it looked like ..... gravel, closed shops, closed rides, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day, The Beast is my favorite Woodie. There is nothing like riding it at dusk as the fog begins to fall over the track. It's funny, it's almost spiritual to ride it then.

At dusk in the fog...... Top of the first lift hill looking at the fog coming off the river....... Top of the second lift hill looking at the lights of the park through the fog........ Temperature not too hot or cold...... Without a care in the world...... It is perfect!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 And, back on topic, I believe the orange wristbands are for taller people who are under the maximum height. I know someone who is tall and they said they were given a wristband for that reason. (I'm only 6'1" so I never have that problem, just repeating what I've been told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 alot of the people that come from the lodge next door have braclets on for using their water area. We seen them last year with them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discodude3737 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Orange wristbands signify that a person is 54 inches, not that they are under the max height for certain rides. Unless it has changed this year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
