kingsislandfan1972 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Very similar to the You Know When Its Off-Season thread, but instead of off-season its on-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondAceExpress Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ... I can say to the family "I'm not cooking tonight. You want dinner? Go to Kings Island and use your meal plan." 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ... I can say to the family "I'm not cooking tonight. You want dinner? Go to Kings Island and use your meal plan." I wish I lived close enough to be able to save money that way. Unfortunately, the cost of gas for a round trip to KI is approximately equal to a fast-food meal here in Xenia. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ...or out in the park while posting on the forums. Darn! I was going to say that! Anyway... When I'm Currently eating at the Reds Hall of Fame Grill. Yum! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ^^ If I could average 40mpg, and assuming the $2.679/gal at my usual station, the ~260 mi round trip to Cedar Point would cost $17.4135 in gas alone. That doesn't include the cost to own and operate the vehicle or the ~5 hours spent driving there. Somehow, I don't think it's worth stopping by just for food. Throw in a few rides, maybe a ride night, and now we're talking. Speaking of which, tonight is a Platinum Passholder ride night on Raptor. Dinner? Oh, but think about the budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When instead of planning a trip to Kings Island around your week, you plan your week around a trip to Kings Island....... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When you have ride ops talk to you like they are your friend when they are off the clock. This goes well beyond The Beast crew. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfinn Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I actually don't mind if ride ops talk to me. Since I'm usually waiting in line/riding alone it is sometimes nice to chat with someone for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When a trip to the ATL suddenly has side trip possibilities. When Steel Force is calling your name.

Seafire Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 When you find yourself contemplating about whether to get on the steel monstrosity known as Banshee looming over you. Seriously. Every rider was screaming. -- When you find yourself mad because you think The Beast isn't long enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the best place to eat in Action Zone, also I believe you can kinda see Congo Falls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
