TTD-120-420 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Is it just for this weekend, or is it from now on? Quote
bkroz Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone notice this? Greg Scheid @KIGMGREG Price drops? Yep, happening this weekend with water and pop prices around the park! Come out and enjoy the warm weather and have a drink. With many of the food and drink places having monitors now instead of price boards, they can change the prices on items much easier. But will the price of an ice-cold Coca-Cola look different on a packed Saturday with 90 degree heat waves and full humidity than it will on a cool, misty Tuesday in August? Changing the price at the drop of a hat is convenient, but for whom? Hopefully we can count on pricing integrity, but "test and adjust" isn't just a process in the attraction world! Quote
Joncars05 Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Anyone have any information of the gold/platinum pass loyalty plan Greg mentioned a couple of months back? I have been looking for a list of incentives but cant find anything. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 They haven't announced any more info on that yet. I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming weeks. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Anyone have any information of the gold/platinum pass loyalty plan Greg mentioned a couple of months back? I have been looking for a list of incentives but cant find anything. Funny you should bring that up, because Greg just tweeted this: Kings Island's loyalty plan being rolled out the weekend of May 19th! Stay tuned for some great news. https://twitter.com/#!/KIGMGREG/status/197859140922650625 Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Appropriate in more ways (and threads) than one: After this, because of this? Quote
Joncars05 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Sweet! I have no idea what direction they could go with this. But I'm excited to see what they will offer. What do you all think they could/will offer with the loyalty plan? Quote
standbyme Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I am also curious what a loyalty plan might end up being...and it's perks. (It would be too much to hope for that one of the planned "perks" would be that management would stop mocking/ridiculing some of their most loyal customers.) Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I have never felt mocked by KI and I am even a former associate at KI. Quote
Ffej Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 So what are these new lower drink prices? Anyone notice any significant drops? Quote
cholderfield Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I meant to check it out yesterday, but I didn't even think to look because I tend to completely ignore vending machines for fear of them reeling me (and my dollars) in... Quote
beastrider97 Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 The machines in the Diamondback queue were all $3.50. I believe that on Opening Day they were $4. Quote
Ffej Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Oh lol I thought maybe they were going to try a new significantly lower pricing strategy for drinks....like $2.50 or something for a large fountain drink. Guess not. Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I saw the sodas in the machines by Vortex were $3.50 as well. Not sure about at the food stands. Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Food stands (or at least Street Funnel Cakes) seemed to have a deal with $5 for all-day refills for refillable cups. Anyone else see that, or is there small print I didn't see? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 The smaller sized fountain drinks were about 50 cents cheaper. Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Demolish The Racer, or Vortex? Build the next building with wood, or steel superstructure? Read a book about wood, or read a book about steel? Hire Joe Wood, or Sarah Steel? Here we go! 7 Quote
stashua123 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Hybrid conversion? Since all of Kings Island's wooden rollercoasters are good, noooooooo!!!!! 5 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Cedar Point's GM had an interesting reply to that tweet. 5 Quote

JubJester Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Mike Fehnel favorited that tweet above. Don't know why I wanted to share that but I did. 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 This post's title seems destined already for epicness. Maybe. I don't want to throw a timber tantrum just yet. 6 Quote
freaks76 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Who know? (yes terp, I know someone does. ) Seems like the hire up the chain ya are, the more ya like riddles. And diversions. 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 ...and the more, it seems, that they know we do, too. 2 Quote
purdude86 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I agree with the sentiment of why not both. A hybrid coaster would be a great addition to the park. Just don't convert any of the ones we already have. 8 Quote
