The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 More and more, I see a chain trying hard to drive attendance--pricing integrity be darned. Amazing. 4 Quote
shark6495 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Makes me think that the other items for sale in parks are doing better than gate. While yes it's a good deal it's only an additional 7$ ( or so) off of the other deals available Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
jdf21972 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I would have liked it better if they included free drinks for additional $10, CP has their Ride & Refresh deal $49.99 adult ticket, great deal. I was just going to purchase the Hotel Breakers ticket at $39 when I went in August, but $10 more and free drinks , what a steal. Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 ($10 more and free...) wow. such a deal. 6 Quote
shark6495 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Its a bummer that KI doesnt offer any unlimited drink deals for $10..... 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Or that, if it does, it's only communicated to some. 1 Quote
rivertowngirl Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I get free unlimited drinks every time I go. You can get perfectly cold and very free ice water at any food place (except for the carts). 9 Quote
LoraX Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 You have to inquire about the drink wrist band, they do not offer. 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk Both the souvenir cup and the drink wrist bands are $10. I don't see what the issue is... I was being sarcastic. (We really need a sarcasm font on here). JDF stated he would like it better if for $10 more they offered unlimited drinks. 1 Quote
Italian Job 2005 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 You can get perfectly cold and very free ice water at any food place (except for the carts). Yup. The carts are convenient, but they also conveniently only have bottled drinks, which will set you back 3 something dollars for a single bottle of water. Quote

The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 So secret specials for the cognoscenti are okay with you? The occasional visitor, not knowing, pays more and\or experiences less. Parks are getting more like airlines every day. WDW FastPass, anyone? 2 Quote
Italian Job 2005 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 WDW FastPass, anyone? I'd take that system installed at Kings Island any day verses the Fast Lane system we have now. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I got an email from CincySaver.com today with an offer for Kings Island tickets for $33.99 for use during Kings Island Kicks Cancer Days, July 25th - August 24th. $1 from each ticket sold online goes towards the Kings Island Kicks Cancer campaign. 2 Quote
Mandee Wurts Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I wish I would have bought tickets when this was posted. i paid $34 at kroger today. Oh well :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 ^ Sorry you missed it. Welcome to KIC anyway! Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 If you only bought one ticket, you still came out ahead. The $30 one-day sale was online only, and any purchase through the KI website involves a $6 fee tacked on at the end, so a single ticket would have cost $36. If you bought two tickets for $34 each at Kroger (total $68), you only paid $2 more than you would have online (30+30+6=$66). If you bought more, then you would have benefitted more, but $34 a ticket still isn't bad. 2 Quote
Mandee Wurts Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Well I did buy 2 tickets but $2 extra isnt bad. I didnt notice that there is a $6 fee online. I was thinking about buying the parking ahead of time online (if it gets you inside any faster on a sat morning?) and maybe the all day dining plan. I am considering just doing one all day dining plan for both my husband and i and we can share the meals. I know you can only order 1 meal every 90 minutes but maybe its worth it. But idk if it will be worth it if there is a $6 fee online? *i havent been to ki since i was a kid so this is the first time i am actually paying for it and making the decisions so im not experienced at all on what is a good deal or not!

malem Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 ^ The $6 fee doesn't apply to parking or dining plan purchases this season, so you should be able to order either online without an extra fee. The all day dining plan is intended for one person; sharing isn't permitted (per the park). For less than the cost of one dining plan, you could both dine at the full-service Reds Hall of Fame Grille located near Diamondback. Many here consider this to be the best food value in the park. 3 Quote
blue171717 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I wonder if there was some sort of special deal going on yesterday too. We usually go on Wednesday because it's not crowded but yesterday was the most crowded we have experienced it all season. We waited over an hour to ride The Beast ate ice cream and left because it was so packed. Before getting our passes this year, I hadn't been to KI since I worked there as a teenager in like 1993 or so, so maybe I'm just out of touch with what normal mid-week volume is in the middle of summer though. 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 You were probably seeing the result of the Monday sale (those tickets are able to be used for a couple weeks), awesome weather, and it being the middle of July. 1 Quote
thegajone Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Weather most certainly was a factor. Doesn't get much nicer than this for mid-July. 3 Quote
