Delirium2018 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok, this has been on my mind for a very long time. Every time I go to Kings Island, I usually go to the bathroom before I start to ride the rides. I must say the bathrooms are really disgusting. Yes, I know it's hard to keep the bathrooms really clean. But the thing is are they even trying? The stalls are the most disgusting. I think we all can agree they need to work on their bathrooms... What do you think they can do? What could they do to keep them cleaner? Also part of the reason of the overly disgusting bathrooms is not just staff but also the visitors. What so hard about flushing a toilet?! Or going to the bathroom in the toilet and not the FLOOR?! Come on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Some strange topics being created tonight... Anyways in my experience, Planet Snoopys bathrooms along with the Rivertown/Coney transfer have always been acceptably clean. Maybe you catch them right before cleaning time? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yes, I will agree with Planet Snoopy's bathrooms being somewhat cleaner. BUT the bathrooms by the entrance, Action Zone, and Coney Mall in my opinion are nasty and smell like it was flooded with urine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 As a former Park Services worker, I used to clean the mens restrooms back in the early 90's and we were always assigned a specific group of restrooms to maintain for a particular area. For instance, I might be assigned to clean the mens restroom on International Street and outside the main gate and the mens restroom in the Festhaus. We took pride in our work and kept them cleaned, but we are unable to clean up a mess when we are in transit to the next restroom. Any employee that notices a restroom that needs attention, will notify their supervisor or call to report it. If a guest sees where it needs attention, just let an employee know and they will take care of it. On busy days it can be hectic, but they do their best and they all try to work together. On those days, a supervisor might be helping out and will help. Also, if any sweep worker spots something that needs attention they will try to take care of it and or notify their supervisor. But yes, some guests can be a pain in the butt, but we try not to let it get to us. Outside of keeping someone stationed in a restroom full time, not much can be done when the worker leaves and the next guest messes things up. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The ladies restrooms this past season was cleaner than in recent years. I saw ladies cleaning throughout the day on each visit. In fact I think the entire park is cleaner since CF took over the park. Then again, I try going on days that are not busy.

malem Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There is a phone number posted inside every restroom in the park, along with instructions to send any concerns/complaints via text message. If something's filthy, let them know. For what it's worth, I didn't see any major restroom cleanliness issues at Kings Island or Cedar Point last season. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 It wasn't terrible this season. But in the past it has. I have never actually thought about using the number for bathroom problems. Guess I should try it this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I always found the bathrooms to be very reasonably clean for an amusement park. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 If you are truly dissatisfied with the state of a particular facility, you're given a number you can text to tell them there's a mess that needs attention It's usually over top the exit door. No joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD-120-420 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Speaking of this, do you guys have a "secret" bathroom that you use in the parks? By secret I mean off the beaten path and not used very much. At Cedar Point, I've never seen another person in the Challenge Park restrooms. I have yet to find one at Kings Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There are not very many bathrooms at Kings Island: 1) International Street 2) Rivertown 3) Coney Mall by Racer 4) Snoopy 5) AZ by Banshee 6) AZ by Invertigo. And 7) Coney Mall by WindSeeker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could actually see that about Challenge Park to a degree. At KI they are all pretty busy typically, unless its raining heavily then nearly all of them are quiet cause no one is there really to speak of, lol. I spent many years working Park Services, I actually loved it. Lots of exercise! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International Restaurant (yeah yeah, I know, not generally open to the public) And then even a few more if you were to include Picnic Grove and Soak City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 As far as bathrooms go, just add one in X-Base and I will be a happy camper. I dislike the fact that if I really have to go, I would have to walk very fast (no running in the park) to either the bathroom next to WindSeeker or to the one across from The Burrito Shack. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think that people are lazy, but I think the bathrooms should be made bigger especially when there is big crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegajone Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I went on a Saturday during Haunt this past year and the park was the most crowded I have ever witnessed in hundreds of visits, but every bathroom I went in was surprisingly clean. I thought the staff did an outstanding job given the crowd. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I can also attest to that. No matter how crowded it was, bathrooms were well kept!Also, not very crowded on the male end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think that people are lazy, but I think the bathrooms should be made bigger especially when there is big crowds. if you can design a bathroom that can expand and contract based upon the number of people coming thru the gates, you'd be a very rich person. I'm not exactly sure what laziness has to do with the size of the bathrooms, when you've got to go, you've got to go. Secret restrooms? If I had a secret restroom, I certainly wouldn't share it, as it would no longer be a restroom, but the festhaus ones seem to be pretty well attended to, as wel as the onces in the Reds HOF grille. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purposefully left all of those out because I was referring to each standalone bathroom building. I also didn't include SC of PG because they are areas outside of the main park which we were talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceWayneWins Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My secret bathroom is the one over in the X-Base area. But that is as much information you're getting out of me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBInternational Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My only comment on the bathrooms is that they should bring back the dyson hand dryers they used to have. Those things were amazing at drying hands. Why did they take them away? The regular dryers blow. (pun intended) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Don't they have those really high powered ones you slide your hands into that dries them almost instantly or is that just in Planet Snoopy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I much prefer the Xcelerator hand dryers over the Dysons! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantisMan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Gotta say every visit I made to the bathrooms last year I was very pleased with the cleanliness. Then again....at my age, I have a highly trained colon that does not need attention throughout the day at the park so my only impressions came from a quick wizz stop. To be honest, never have been a fan of public toilets for the more intimate extractions and usually avoid them unless completely necessary. TMI?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Intimate extractions? By definition--Extraction: the action of taking out something, esp. using effort or force. 1. Enough to make me chuckle already 2. I just picture you forcefully pulling something out 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I despise the Dyson Airblades. I don't think they are remotely sanitary, and I think the Excel Dryers are far more effective. Other than the airblades, the restrooms at KI aren't half bad as public restrooms go. I've certainly seen much, much worse. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
