November 26, 200916 yr Me too, though once upon a time an XL was really not long enough or even big enough . . . (and SOME mediums are too baggy these days...)
November 29, 200916 yr Author Happy shopping! As of now, most of the merchandise is Diamondback related, and there are few items to chose from. I'm sure the inventory will improve soon enough. Also, the store uses the same header as the homepage, so it appears wie will not be getting the Cedar Point site overlay.
November 29, 200916 yr You might want to take the link down. It hasn't been announced on KI's Twitter, and it's not linked to on KI's website.
November 29, 200916 yr I am in that awkward size of between a XL and 2X. XL sometimes is too short, and sometimes 2X is too long.
November 29, 200916 yr Yeah... I don't think it was meant to be found. I mean there is still 'Test T-Shirt' under T-shirts.
November 29, 200916 yr I find it to be a shame that they tried to match VisitKingsIsland.com's template. No update anytime soon...
November 29, 200916 yr Now, now...Cedar Fair has only owned Kings Island for a bit over three years. If they thought websites were important....
November 29, 200916 yr Heard from under the Black Hat that they are slowly but surely working on a new web site. I just can't imagine it would take so long- Knott's got a new one, and they didn't really need it as badly as the former Paramount parks.
November 29, 200916 yr Sooo is this store official yet? There's still no link on the Kings Island website......
November 29, 200916 yr Heard from under the Black Hat that they are slowly but surely working on a new web site. Emphasis on slowly? If they keep this up, the next owner can worry about the legacy Paramount Parks websites!
November 29, 200916 yr Its all Diamondback it seems. Looks Good though. Hopefully they will have more merchandise soon.
November 29, 200916 yr I would not buy anything until it is announced on the main website. It could be a scam.
November 29, 200916 yr I would love it if they'd have items available on the website for rides that don't usually have merchandise- Flight of Fear, Racer (besides that one shirt), AE, etc.
November 29, 200916 yr I'm very disappointed that the store only has DB items. No matter how fun the ride is, I really have never liked any of the DB merchandise. If the store had shirts with The Vortex "fist", I would buy more than one...
November 29, 200916 yr I would love some unique things, not clothes and hats. I did see they have a Diamondback snowglobe - that would be awesome to buy! And some keychains I think I saw.......I can tell the store will be used more for the offseason when people can't buy merchandise at the park.

It is fun to buy it at KI!

I normally only buy Shot glasses! 400th post!!!!!!!!!!
November 30, 200916 yr I'm very disappointed that the store only has DB items. No matter how fun the ride is, I really have never liked any of the DB merchandise. If the store had shirts with The Vortex "fist", I would buy more than one... Dude... the store's been online for like 3 hours... and it's not even official right now. I imagine they'll have a ton of products available sooner or later. I kinda do not want to buy anything from the store. It is fun to buy it at KI! I agree that shopping at the park is part of what makes what you purchase memorable. However take the online store for what it's worth -- it's a great way to get Christmas and birthday gifts during the offseason. I think that's the intention.

I bet the store will be busiest in the offseason than during the season. Mostly because people would rather buy while they go to the park, instead of wait for shipping, etc.
November 30, 200916 yr But with bigger things, It is a pain to carry around the park all day... Though it is rather funny to see people walking around carrying giant bananas.
November 30, 200916 yr But with bigger things, It is a pain to carry around the park all day... Though it is rather funny to see people walking around carrying giant bananas. I think I remember reading in an old Kings Island brochure that they used to hold your purchases for you until you left...
November 30, 200916 yr Indeed they did...then someone figured out this was hurting the locker rental business...and that was under Paramount Parks...Sometimes, it seems, the divisions between park segments (merchandise vs. games, for instance) seem more important than an ultimate focus on they who pay the bills and leave nickels in the park...the customers.
