BoddaH1994 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 G'day mate! This is just a friendly reminder that Kings Island's awesome Aussie-themed water park opens for the 2010 season this Saturday, May 22nd. Click here to see Kings Island's official Boomerang Bay site!

DropZone99 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'd like to make it out to BBay this year, I only went once this year and didn't even get to ride anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have to admit. I haven't stepped foot in Boomerang Bay in about 5 years. I find that kind of hard to believe since I have fun every time I go. I'm going to make it out there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 One of my greatest (yet also, most miserable) memories of KI was of BeastBuzz '06 when my friend and I skipped out on free dinner just to go to Boomerang Bay. We spent practically the entire time standing under the bucket at Jackaroo Landing. It was so hot and humid that day that water sounded much better than any amount of food.

I haven't been in the 'Bay (as a guest) since the remodel in 2004, and that was on a really slow day where I got on every slide in an hour because it was 65 outside and it was threatening to rain.

windshawne Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm not a fan of water parks, but it has to be pretty hot for me to go-and last year it wasn't. If it's close to 100 I will go, otherwise not. I do like the bay though, and I will dip my feet in the wave pool on the cooler days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivertowngirl Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I will be taking my son to BBay for the first time and I have a few questions... Are (soft plastic) water shoes permitted in the area and on the water rides? Do we bring our own towels? If so, where do we put them when we are on the rides? How much do the lockers cost? Can you get into them more than once or do you have to pay each time you get into the locker? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am not certain on the shoe question. I seem to recall seeing people wearing those water shoes before. Best solution to that would be to call the park and ask. (The last time I was actually swimming in Boomerang Bay was its first weekend back in 2004). But I have walked through Boomerang Bay, including once last year with my brother who is one of the pool managers at Coney. You bring your own towels into Boomerang Bay (unless you want to buy one from the gift shops there. There are lounge chairs around the wave pool, as well as near Kookabura Bay (the small lagoon type pool near the tipping bucket. I`m not certain on the price of lockers. I believe the lockers in Boomerang Bay are the type where you must put down a deposit for the key, and then get the deposit back when you turn in the key at the end of the day. As such, I believe that the lockers are NOT one time use lockers like the lockers by Firehawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 No problem. Glad I could shed some light on your questions. Have fun when you visit the water park. (The temperatures this week will be warm enough to make a water park visit sound enticing!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddie Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I went to BB yesterday and the place was EMPTY. We walked on every ride and were done in 2 hours! It was GREAT!!!! BB is looking good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivertowngirl Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 We did end up going today and had a blast. FYI, locker rental is $13 (!!!!!) and when you turn your key back in you get $5 back. You can open the locker as often as you want with your key. My son, age 3, was able to wear his water shoes on everything he went on but I think I saw a sign at the entrance of the water park that said aqua socks couldn't be worn on all the attractions (I assume they mean the larger slides). I am really glad he had his water shoes. The pavement was hot and my feet were killing me from walking on the flat concrete. Next time we go I will definitely bring some flip flops for me to wear.

lj89 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 As a gold pass holder I have been to BB a few times in the last few years but I have been too chicken to ride the slides! (crazy since i have no fear of coasters right) I think it is the fact that you are not 'secured' or something like that! I want to enjoy the water park even more this year and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions to get over my fear or good ones to start out on? Thanks!
