Miythandria Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Just curious. Does anyone know who has the park rented for September 5, 6, 7, 13, and 14? Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 September 5th is Pride Night. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/uploads/file/2014%20Pride%20Night(1).pdf The 6th is GE and Kroger YP mixer http://events.sfgate.com/mason_oh/events/show/371149320-ge-kroger-yp-mixer 1 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 The 13th and 14th is typically rented out by Procter and Gamble for their employees and their families. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 That's Procter & Gamble, aka P&G. The company does not use the word and there. Terp -- in your heart you knew he would. 2 Quote
TriumphBonneville Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I've always been curious as to why Kings Island closes for 4 days during the week leading up to Labor Day weekend. Is it because all the schools around are back in session? I know that in Michigan, where I reside, the state passed a law prohibiting the schools from going back before Labor Day. For several years I always took a week of vacation during that week so as to maximize my time away from work (weekend before, week, long holiday weekend) and always thought that that would be a good time to get back to Kings Island. But when I would look online I would discover that they were closed. And of course, I would forget about this little problem by the following year. Upon further research, I found that this was not strictly a Kings Island thing. I noticed many parks, with the exception of Cedar Point, were closed during this time. I hadn't been since 1996, so I really had a desire to get back, as I always found Kings Island to be a beautiful park with some great rides. Needless to say, I was a bit perturbed every year. After all, it was still August! But, on a positive note, I did finally get back for one day in 2013, and 3 times this year. 1 Quote

The park is closed August 25-28 mostly due to staffing issues with their employees being back in school...and also a lot of their guests. 7 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I can't even imagine how much it has to cost for a company to rent the entire park for a day. Any guesses? Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 ^ The best guess I can give to that question is "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". 5 Quote
Diamondback96 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 That's Procter & Gamble, aka P&G. The company does not use the word and there. Terp -- in your heart you knew he would. & it matters, right? 2 Quote
jdf21972 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Don't forget that the park is closed until 7pm Saturday September 20. Someone is having an event earlier in the day. Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk 1 Quote
