Guest KingsIslandPR Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hope everyone is having a great summer! I wanted to let you know that we're going to keep Boomerang Bay open for an extra hour until 8:00pm Monday, July 18 through Sunday, July 24. Our 15-acre water park is included free with park admission to Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) No offense, but is that an official account or an impostor? I see nothing on the official KI website about these extended hours, though the username matches that used on the park's official Twitter account. EDIT: I see now that the aforementioned Twitter account verifies the extended hours, but I'm still a little leery of accepting the KIC account as an official account until I see verification of the "officialness" of the KIC account from some source that I know to be official. EDIT 2: I've posted a question on KI's Facebook wall to try to get confirmation either way. EDIT 3: Edited to clarify the first edit.

Hendrick Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 You trust their Facebook account, but not their Twitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Let me clarify. I trust both their Facebook and Twitter accounts. However, the fact that their Twitter account has the same name and posted the same information does not prove that the KIC account is official, as it's still theoretically possible for an impostor to have created the KIC account a while back and have just copied the info. I'd ask them about it on Twitter, but I don't have a Twitter account, so I posted the question to their Facebook page instead. Does that make sense? (I've edited my first post directly to clarify what I meant as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrick Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Alright. Makes much more sense. I thought KI had a different account here on KIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It would make sense for them to have an account here. And I'll let JC spill the beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 KI has now confirmed that the KIC account above is official. Nice to see the park posting here, and apologies for the suspicion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Over my visits to the park for the last 20 years, I've only been to the water park a few times. I decided on my trip a few weeks ago to dedicate most of one day to it. It really is nice. It is very clean, has so many water slides, and is very well staffed. I think it's a nice change from the main park. They have really made the shops over there very nice, too. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly typically so am I, but I plan on going tomorrow and with as hot as it's supposed to be I'm thinking I'll take my chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Duct tape your stuff to your body, and enjoy the band-aids. You can't miss them, they float by on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Duct tape your stuff to your body, and enjoy the band-aids. You can't miss them, they float by on a regular basis. You could always get a locker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 You get five back of the fifteen, I hear. When we went, there were none available. It was one of the Military Days. Everyone keeps selling the lockers. There were none available. Really. None to be had. They can put more lockers behind the pavilions. They could charge less money with more lockers, and still make up the difference. They can have fewer broken lockers. On days when there are no lockers to be had, maybe add and extra security person or two, simply because with no lockers to be had, one might have to depend on the honestly of strangers, which doesn't work. There were no lockers available when we got there. So the locker argument has become rather moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delirium123 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Or park in the water park parking lot and leave all valuables and unnecessary items in your car until you are done. Thats what we do. Its really no hassle and saves you however much a locker is. I haven't bought a locker in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Very good decision to keep BB open later this week-it is has been a long time since it has been this humid outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
