happyslap Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 How long will Labor Day lines be? For my birthday, I'll be going with 3 of my friends the day before and I want to be able ride everything I can with them since two haven't been on a roller coaster before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I plan on going on Labor Day as well. If need be, my friend and I will buy Fast Lane. It's a $19.99 BAF day as well as dollar days, so unless the weather is bad, I anticipate crowds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Expect crowds--then if you have a light day, you'll be ecstatic! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Anyone going to be there at open today? We are headed that way, wondering if it's looking to be crowded tonight or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindingSon Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Webcam check tells me it's very light right now. But the park hasn't been open for 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 With HS football hitting week one in Ohio, you could probably shoot a cannonball down the queues of most rides tonight and not touch anybody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Looks like the line for Diamondback isn't even out of the station. And I saw a train on the lift on the webcam, so it is definitely operating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIDB Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The app says Diamondback is closed but there are people on it. Going to hit up Action Zone until meetup at 6:30 for the night ride photos. 30 minutes for FoF. Sigh.

KIDB Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Amazing night! Haven't waited more than 10 minutes for anything, even ones where the app indicated a slightly longer wait.

Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I ducked into RHOFG, and have never, ever seen this place as packed as this! Hopefully this order of mozzarella sticks and unsweetened iced tea will see me through until the rain breaks up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looks like DB is having some trouble from the webcam. Riders are having to walk back to the station from the break runs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtk1378 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Longest lines as always is the food lines, they really need to address this next year, I think this year is a lost cause. 20 minutes for RHOFG, 15 person line for Planet Snoopy grill, waiting behind about 30 people in Larosa's line at Festhaus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The park, and its meal plan customers clogging up the lines in front of me, has taught me to again leave for food. After all, "people gotta eat." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Job 2005 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The park, and its meal plan customers clogging up the lines in front of me, has taught me to again leave for food. After all, "people gotta eat." Sigh. I wish the lines were flowing instead of "clogging". The all-season meal plan is a great deal, providing that the park can manage it. The park cannot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Was at the park last night (packed) and today (definitely not packed). Have meal plans, and we ate both days without a substantial wait---even last night when Beast and Diamondback had ~45 minute to 1-hour queues. Today we ate at...12:45pm. Took son to Potato Works in Coney for a corn dog meal, nobody in line. Wife and daughters took about 10 minutes to get their subs, then we took all that food to the picnic tables by the pond behind Hank's. I told them how I wanted my burrito---which did take a few minutes---but that was that. I would like to throw out another possible reason for clogged food lines. It's not always the meal plan folks---it's people wanting their soda's filled! My gosh...we have a couple of those refillable cups and I swear it takes FOREVER for them to take my money and fill the cup. We've had good luck getting food, but I'm always shocked at how much time I spend behind people getting soda's refilled, including my own. It should not take 2-4 minutes just to fill up a refillable cup---especially if the person has money in hand (sometimes people don't, which is inexcusable as well). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should not take 2-4 minutes just to fill up a refillable cup---especially if the person has money in hand (sometimes people don't, which is inexcusable as well). Possibly a symptom of charging 99 cents for refills. Add tax to that, and you get $1.05 (I think), which means people digging for spare change and/or the cashier having to count out almost a full dollar's worth of change. Solution? Figure out what price becomes precisely $1.00 when tax is added, and charge that rather than 99 cents. The Columbus Zoo, for example, charges 93 cents to refill a souvenir cup, which becomes $1.00 even after tax, which is much faster than dealing with change. Yet Kings Island charges an extra nickel, which is perhaps a leftover from the Kinzel era? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, making it a $1 flat would make a difference for sure! Hopefully next year will be better with all-season free refills. As has been mentioned before, I think I most notice the...uh..."lack of motivation" by employees when getting refills. Not much incentive for them to hurry it doesn't seem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Is sales tax in the park 6.75%? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 ^ At Kings Island, yes, that is the current rate. Sales tax in Ohio increased by 0.25% in 2013. Total lodging tax in Warren County, Ohio is 12.75%. It's higher in Hamilton County. Thanks in part to efforts of members here, there is no admission tax in Mason, Ohio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Only open five hours, searing heat, and threat of storms are keeping the crowds very low so far tonight. There's only around 100 people waiting for the gates to open so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
