JTW Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Kings Island Trip Reports: 2014 I'm way behind on this topic, and have already made several trips to the park. So far my highlights have been riding Banshee three times, and spending a few hours riding everything my kids wanted on one trip. Although my back may disagree with my second statement, I enjoyed that more than any new ride. To keep it short (for now) I may only update every few trips, or whenever something memorable or special happens. Ride count (totals in parentheses) Banshee + 3 (3) The Beast + 1 (1) Adventure Express + 1 (1) The Bat + 1 (1) BLSC + 1 (1) Flying Ace + 1 (1) Boo Blasters + 1 (1) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTW Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 So I haven't been as much as I would have liked this year and I've lost count on my rides but I did go today and had abnormal experiences. On the way in, the employee that scanned our passes stopped my boy and made a comment that he is 48" tall so we would be required to upgrade his pass to an adult one or we wouldn't be allowed in. What? Mid season? This irritated me and I don't feel wrong about asking for a supervisor to explain this policy. I understand this may be on the books however I have never heard of this. Kids grow, and at the time of purchase he was a couple inches too short. When our passes were processed we were not informed of this so it caught me off guard and he is barely 48". I'd have been a lot more understanding if he were way over the line but it seemed ridiculous the way we were stopped... Then later when exiting Adventure Express I noticed a medic cart nearby. While my son and I were riding another father and son were in line and the boy busted his head somehow. I was told it was because of rail gymnastics. My wife apparently fetched a bag of ice from a vendor while the medics were called and helped until the professionals showed up. Lastly, on our way out of the park while walking near preferred parking I noticed a van parked across about 3 spaces. At first I grumbled some choice adjectives and nouns to myself about seeing someone there blocking people from leaving and considered calling security. At second glance I noticed a couple people with the doors open on a nearby SUV working around the dash area and immediately made the call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
