Magenta Lizard Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for the link. It's still automatically redirecting me back to mobile no matter what I try. I wonder if they broke their site code or if something changed on my phone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantisMan Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 some new events are up on the KI site including passholder ride nights https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/events-and-promotions Gotta admit, I'm excited for more details on the Banshee Brew and Food Truck Festivals. I love food trucks....nuff said. I love beer....nuff said. Wonder where they will have the "live entertainment"? I can think of a really good location that would work great for a beer, bands, Banshee celebration. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Okay, so are they testing Woodstock Gliders? Or is the ride literally moving on it's own? Seems like it moves a lot, haha. but the gears my not be fully connected yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You have to wonder if past Kings Island management could have fathomed how relatively quickly two of those massive buildings in that pic would go virtually dormant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well well well, look what decided to take flight today.Update: I do believe Don Helbig is currently looking at the ride at the webcam. haha (Well, was on the webcam anyways. lol) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark6495 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 just be careful logging onto free public wifi. Your data is able to be accessed by others... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 So you're saying that any data transmitted over Kings Island's in-park Wi-Fi network will be Accesso-ble by Cedar Fair? Well, that (It) Ain't FUN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 http://www.howtogeek.com/178696/why-using-a-public-wi-fi-network-can-be-dangerous-even-when-accessing-encrypted-websites/ When you connect to an open Wi-Fi network like one at a coffee shop or airport, the network is generally unencrypted — you can tell because you don’t have to enter a passphrase when connecting. Your unencrypted network traffic is then clearly visible to everyone in range. People can see what unencrypted web pages you’re visiting, what you’re typing into unencrypted web forms, and even see which encrypted websites you’re connected to — so if you’re connected to your bank’s website, they’d know it, although they wouldn’t know what you were doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Encrypted connections are safe to use over public WiFi, as only the site owner (with the site's private key) can decrypt data you send. Many sites and apps (including Gmail, Twitter, Google Docs, Google search, bank websites) are protected. When using a web browser, it's important to make sure that the site is secure (eg. padlock icon, "https" url, or other indicators depending on your browser). If you receive a certificate error message, do not accept the invalid security certificate. Unencrypted connections can be intercepted by anyone in wireless range of your device. If you're logged into the KICentral forum over public WiFi, for example, someone else nearby could theoretically see what you're doing and even make posts from your account. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Who would take their time to get into peoples phones and see what you, a visitor to the park, are up too? Not anyone. I don't believe someone would buy a ticket just to hack into peoples phones at a park.I'm sure there is no wifi in the parking lot. So the ability to get access from the drop-off area is not likely.

Italian Job 2005 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I know at my school, on the Wi-Fi, they let can see your device and it's activity, but can't really associate a name with that device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 That depends on a lot of factors, really. When you connect to a public Wi-Fi network, the network operator will receive identifying information from your device such as its hostname. Sometimes, this is enough to identify the device. They're not likely to look at that, however. What they're more likely to look at is your web traffic. If you view any pages that aren't encrypted (as mentioned above), the network operator can see all the data that you send to webpages as well as the webpages that you view. So if you send personal information (think name, address, SSN, username/password, etc.), the network operator can see this information. Thing is, it's not just the people who host the free public Wi-Fi that can see this data. If the network is not set up to isolate clients (meaning devices), other people connected to the network can see that same information. So, say you send a bunch of sensitive info over public Wi-Fi. A malicious person connected to this network is logging the data passing through this network. They now have all your personal info. Fortunately, a lot of things have minimized the damages that can be done by this. For one, most of the more popular websites (and many others) now encrypt your information by default. Encryption basically uses a secure key that only the website and your device have in order to "randomize" the information sent to them. This means that when you log into Gmail, your username and password are scrambled and no one but the website can decode them. As for Cedar Fair? I suppose they could attempt to data mine your activities for some marketing purpose. Will they? I wouldn't really worry about it. TL;DR: Cedar Fair or other users may be able to get some data about your web browsing, but it's probably not enough to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 ^^^ There are automated tools that automatically spy on connections. Some criminals have set such programs to capture others' data at frequently used WiFi hotspots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
