New this year is the season pass drink plan. Instead of getting the physical cup, you can just activate this plan on your pass and then get a disposable cup every 15 minutes.

I'm actually considering this. Like every year, I think about getting the meal plan, but I never do. However, the price on the drink plan is easily affordable .

Not to mention you may or may not have to fight to get it home/to keep it at home. 

The NoChicken's have a giant gorilla that PrincessSparkles won back in the day.

I visited with my Uncle and his wife once and He played the basketball game by Racer countless times, winning a ton of prizes and he just passed them out to kids on the midway. The children were thrilled and the parents we less excited to say the least lol 

Once I saw another guest do something incredibly stupid because of a football he won at one of the games... I guess he threw it out of The Beast train when the ride took out of the station.  When the ride was over for our train, he somehow hopped a fence and went under the track to get the ball right when a train was released. It was so, so stupid. Fortunately karma got him, it is much easier to get into The Beast's enclosure than to get out. I got to see him escorted out by security and employees.

with regards to websites.  domain configurations have changed and have more flexibility.  Some ad agency in Toronto, Canada has kingsisland.com...  To have a more contemporary look and have all the parks in alignment they should do:

  • www.kingsisland.online
  • www.kingsdominion.online
  • www.carowinds.online
  • etc...

they're available.  just a thought.

IF KI ever wanted to get more people into season pass processing before the park opens. Follow Dorney Park idea. This is a great way to benefit a local food pantry and give a benefit for season pass holders.

So, I haven't read any of this thread. Keeping that in mind, I wanted to comment that I just saved $61 on the gate price of Kings Island and Cedar Point by purchasing their Coaster Combo tickets. I had planned on season passes this year, but by the time I went to do so, they were out of my price range. Plus, I most likely will only make one trip to each park.

was checking today, and realized we are now in weather.com's 15 day forecast window for preview day.  Obviously weather patterns will change as we get closer, but as of today, they are calling for light rain and a high of 61 on the 14th.  In a non-scientific prediction, the 14th is Good Friday and as a Catholic it feels like it rains on Good Friday about 75% of the time.  Hopefully this will be one of those 25% years with no rain, though it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it rained all day then stopped right about 4:00 pm.

Long time lurker here...but I finally joined up.  Had a handle a bit last year but lost my login and couldn't retrieve it.   I'm no enthusiast, but love KI and can say this is the kind of ride they need...not record breaking but it just looks like so much fun.  Hills, theme, the shed gimmick...pure fun and I can't wait to check it out!

Thanks for the great site!

Today's KI Story.

Don was quoted to say that "it is a great coaster that needed more thrilling inversions , because little kids love inversions ! "
