The Interpreter Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 And Kentucky Kingdom's new era has begun. Watch carefully. Nothing will ever be quite the same. And the park? Since that fated day, the bombast seems quite gone. It's a new era. How it ends no one knows and few are willing to even speculate. 2016 is a key season for the place, but 2017 even more so. Stay tuned. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 For my vacation reading this holiday season, I'm weighing three epic reading options (and I'm not kidding here): Stephen King's "11-22-63," Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace," or ...this thread! Five-thousand-seven-hundred-thirty-two posts about Kentucky Kingdom... on the top Kings Island fan forum? I've been ignoring something for too long, methinks. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You've missed such gems as the park refusing to admit a poster here and then refusing to admit they did so on purpose. An event that certainly would not have occurred had this thread not existed. And enough PR buffoonery to keep you in stitches for days. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An event that certainly would not have occurred had this thread not existed. And enough PR buffoonery to keep you in stitches for days. I wonder if any other parks would slump so low? If I'm getting my story correct (and please correct me if I'm not), a Park Near You once gave Terpy a very hard time when he tried to go in, but eventually he did get to enter. Personally, I'd have been Furyous had that happened to me. EDIT: Per Terpy's correction, he was prevented from entering that park as well. So yes, other parks might slump so low. A certain other user of this forum was at Kentucky Kingdom the day that Terpy was barred from entry, but did not witness this take place. THe aforementioned poster DID, however, post a wonderful trip report following that visit. I wonder who that might have been By all accounts, the park needed every extra person (and wallet) that they could have gotten through the gates that day, so one has to scratch their heads as to why they would have turned ANYONE away.

The Interpreter Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Excuse me. That day the "park near you" did NOT let me in that Sunday. Fortunately, the young(er) Mr. Kinzel is gone. I suspect the reason was the same both times. In each case, had I not been a poster here, and known, I suspect there would have been no issue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 And I seem to recall, in April of 2011 at KD's opening day, Your pass did not scan because it was from.... 1997*?!?!? Of course co-incidentally (?) that same day, the elder Mr. Kinzel was at that very park. *You would think they would at least have chosen a year AFTER CFs purchase of the park 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 And...after a lot of bureaucratic effort, they converted that pass to a KD Platinum Pass. Sure enough, when I got to Kings Island, it didn't work. There was no data whatsoever loaded on the pass. Kings Island fixed that. (I told them I had the receipt in the car, but they said that would not be necessary). Later that season, I went back to KD. Guess what didn't work? Converted again.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 So today as I was scrolling through my spam folder I found a few interesting emails from Kentucky Kingdom to yours truly. The first stated that I could renew my season pass, when I don't even have one nor did I go to Kentucky Kingdom last year. The 2 others were about buying or renewing a season pass, when I didn't even venture to this park since 2014. So I must ask, was I given a season pass to KK last year for free or what because I never bought one and this email states that I did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Do you live outside Kentucky? Perhaps they needed you and could count on you. Terp, who does not live in a state. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If I remember correctly I did give them my email in terms of future announcements, but not my address. Nor that I was a Season Pass holder, but I was interested in buying one(at that time). If I did get a free Season Pass, I was never notified and I never spent money on one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Via https://www.kentuckykingdom.com/ (the main website homepage) Looks like someone forgot to add a few spaces.

jcgoble3 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 HTML collapses consecutive literal spaces into one space anyway, so unless they use an entity to represent one of the spaces, it ain't gonna make a difference. On the other hand, adding instructions for Maggie on a public webpage makes a huge difference. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBEW_Sparky Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think its Fast Eddie who needs the help (especially in the PR Department) and not Maggie. Its obvious I am not concerned in being allowed into KK for its next (last?) season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
