Jr for Birdy Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I've had a beer in line numerous times at KI...never been a word said to me. They don't say anything to kids wearing swimsuits in the dry park, either, but that doesn't mean it's allowed. or some grown women wearing bikinis that make me want to puke. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Why would grown women wear bikinis that make you want to puke? Would other bikinis be less likely to make you want to puke? Isn't your problem with the type of women as opposed to the type of bikinis? And what would the park do about a similarly built male who attempted to wear a bikini in the dry park? Terp, who likes to ask questions. 4 Quote
Forgotten Scream Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 People can wear bikini tops in the park, they just can't have the bottoms on. They have to have some sort of short, skirt, or pants on. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 People? So either gender? Terp, who likes to ask questions. 2 Quote
Forgotten Scream Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I asked this to GR and they said that as long as their nipples are covered, it's okay to wear. So I assume, which I probably shouldn't do, if guys realllllllllllllllllllly wanted to wear a bikini top, they could and still ride. Quote

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Bathing suits should be limited to the water side of the park and should not be worn in the dry section. According to what Forgotten Scream said, GR said as long as the nibbles are covered, it is ok. That is very broad. Kind of what the State of Ohio requires strippers to wear over their breasts in strip bars. I have seen women wearing bikini tops that are very brief that most bras have more material than bikini tops do. Women should be required to wear shirts and shorts over their bathing suits or change out of them for cloths. Quote

violakat03 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Dollywood's dress code is pretty conservative, especially compared to KI's, and specifically covers that situation. It's fine as long as it is joined both top and bottom and does not pull in enough to show nipples - button-up shirts must also be buttoned high enough to keep them covered. Cut-off and midriff shirts are allowed but all shirts must cover at least 3/4ths of the torso. Swimsuit tops of any variety, even a tankini or the upper half of a one-piece must be covered with an opaque shirt. I have to admit, it was nice to not have to deal with mostly uncovered individuals all summer last year. 2 Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I dont think women should be walking around in bikini tops at Kings Island. Its bad news either way,im either disgusted or im covering my 12 year olds eyes and listening to my wife complain about how trashy that is! Its a no win for me! 1 Quote
stashua123 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 How did a topic about souvenir cups become a topic about dress code in the park? 2 Quote

Jr for Birdy Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Just wait... We'll soon turn it into a Son of Beast topic. Ummmmm, that was weird! Great minds think alike. 1 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 How did a topic about souvenir cups become a topic about dress code in the park? By having a vague thread title. 1 Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 How did a topic about souvenir cups become a topic about dress code in the park? The same way that any topic about ticketing turns into talking about passes not scanning or a topic about food turns into complaining about pricing. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Or a topic about dinosaurs turns into a discussion about nickels, prior management, and...carousel organs (!?) Diversion. Have a Coke and a smile. Quote
BB1 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Just wait... We'll soon turn it into a Son of Beast topic. I find it odd that there are mini footers in the SOB area..... Quote

FYI - Try telling these people they are inappropriately dressed. It doesn't matter how politically correct you are when you tell them the policy, they still act like you called them a hooker. 1 Quote
Roarbot Posted May 5, 2013 Author Posted May 5, 2013 OK, back on topic. I just checked out the souvenir cup online purchase. $9.99 versus $12.99 in the park. Turns out there's a $5.99 processing fee and sales tax added to the online order and it says delivery fees may apply(pretty sure the delivery fee is a a disclaimer, since you would just print a code for a cup to be picked up at the park). So, I'll just pay $12.99 plus tax at the park tomorrow. Also, off topic, anyone had problems with passes renewed online? Last year we had to go through processing even though the renewal went smoothly. Also, SOB. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 So you went back on topic, and then back off topic in one post? That's AWESOME!!! LOL! I can tell you that I renewed online several years in a row when I always got my platinum with Kings Island and it always went smoothly. That's the ONLY thing that ever went smoothly about my platinum pass, but that part was smooth. The only problem I ever remember was one year when they tried to tell me at GR that my pass was only good for one free visit after the renewal. I politely repeated that it was a RENEWAL, and was told, but you used your one free visit. ...feels blood pressure rising tremendously and a little more angrily spoke... My pass is a renewal. Are you trying to tell me that because I renewed my pass that I invalidated what is left of my season pass for this season???? I've never seen a GR backpedal so fast in my life, and then all was fixed. Quote
malem Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 The best way to avoid season pass drama is probably to renew at Guest Relations at a park where it's staffed well. At least at Kings Island, there are people there who know the ins-and-outs of the Paramount Parks/Cedar Fair gate software well. They assured me that my pass was "ready to go", and indeed it was. When you renew some other way, no one is checking the status of your pass as you wait, and people are still having problems in 2013. (My educated guess is that you're relying on either a batch process or an employee hired for data entry.) Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Every Platinum Pass I've ever had problems with was purchased or renewed at a Cedar Fair park front gate. One was processed by the head of Guest Relations at Kings Dominion. Most of the others were purchased or renewed at Kings Island. I've had NO problems with passes purchased at Six Flags. So, what is your advice for me? To Go Big? Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 To process a new pass every year, and keep the old one as a souvenir. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Which hasn't worked. Newly processed pass from Kings Dominion didn't work at Kings Island. And vice versa. Last year's remedy was to visit Mr. Reid-Anderson's establishments instead. This year, I have a new Kings Island Platinum Pass. Will it work at KD? Dorney? Stay tuned! My Busch pass never fails to work. Nor Dollywood. And so on. 1 Quote

retrofan22 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 im sorry but i think this is bs. ive been coming to Kings Island for 8years and never had any problems with bringing old cups. i wonder if any other parks will be doing the same Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 All the Cedar Fair parks are supposed to. Most already did. Quote
