Good lord, I rode the back seat tonight and got racked really bad at some point. Didn’t really notice it until we were on the brake run. Stumbled over the Coke stand and took it took me a good 20 minutes to recover. It was a little after 9 at that point so just decided to head home. Then the massive potholes and crap on 71 knocked my tailpipe loose as we got closer to Cbus. Fortunately I was easily able to snake it out from the undercarriage after pulling over at a BP. The pipe is only 3 years old and given the looks of it’s condition I obviously got some crap pipe, but sections of that road are a POS right now. Not my best trip to KI Just noticed this today.

JubJester Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 @King Ding Dong Sorry you had a rough night. Potholes suck, especially late at night like I learned heading up to Media Day. Also, what did you mean by "racked"? Never heard that term before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well being Cedar Point is every two years for me and Kings Island is 40 times a year, I can't say I'm happy to hear that :/ I do believe you though We plan to go to canada's wonderland next year, but nothing but positive reviews for SV.. So may just have to do Cedar Point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went last week even though we did ride it during passholder preview night, but that was only one ride, so we had to go back. It blows every other coaster I've ridden away. But with that being said, I honestly feel that KI is the better park, friendlier staff and just an all around better vibe. CP has always been my favorite for their coasters and I grew up in Detroit and went every year, but now I'm in Kentucky and KI is much closer and has stolen .y heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hey all, I was at the waterpark yesterday and noticed there were some different procedures for the drop slides at Tropical Plunge. First, no earrings/stubs/piercings are allowed an ride and must be removed/left in a locker or with a non-rider. Second, once you get up there, they give you a thumbs up (to check if you still want to ride) once in the capsule. Don't know if this second thing was different, but yesterday was the first time I've noticed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up 15 minutes from KI and went there for many years. My father got his job transferred to Cleveland. I think Cedar Point is a way more enjoyable experience. You don’t have to deal with the annoying middle school gangs, and the people are a lot less self entitled I guess you can say (besides Fast Lane). The food is better at KI, but Cedar Point has gotten a lot better the last few years. As long as you don’t go on a saturday, you can pretty much get everything done. I don’t even care about riding much just because Steel Vengeance is so much better than any ride in the park. I try to get at least 2 rides a trip. I usually get 3 and I have 13 rides on it in 5 trips. I used to like KI better, but now it just seems like child’s play compared to Cedar Point.

For me I was very disappointed with the attitude of a lot of the staff due to my limitations and using the ride pass system. The rides are better but I cannot just ride SV over and over, it's too much on my hip. I love their other rides and go to experience everything not just one ride. We went on a Tues and Wed and still did not get on everything we wanted, but I have to take things slower than most, I can't power walk and go nonstop. The addition of Ms Keets has led me to like their food better, but there was hardly anything open to try besides that. KI in my opinion just has nicer staff, I had an issue at CP w a higher up very well known employee and it just disappointed me greatly. If you are a die hard ride enthusiast yes, CP is probably the better park, but for me even though I am a huge ride person, I just prefer KI and they have my favorite coaster of all time, imo you cannot best The Beast.

We went up Sunday evening and arrived right when that message was being played - my kids flipped out and almost started to tear up lol I assured them it was a mistake, which it was. But I thought it was kind of funny, there were a lot of people looking confused. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmony29 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Has anyone noticed that there are a ton of people abusing the handicap ride pass program? Yesterday there was a teen in front of us, she explained that she couldn't stand because she had sandals with a strap around her ankle and had caught it standing in line for a ride, they actually have her a pass, I was stunned and if I hadn't seen it I would not have believed it.

Oldiesmann Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Like usual, Gold Passes have been extended again this year, but until July 4th this time instead of the usual week or so that they usually extend the sale for. Pass sales must be way down this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Anyone go to Soak City this weekend and how were the operations? Were all the attractions open? Reports are Cedar Point Shores had major staffing issues with both rivers, the bucket complex and lily pad all closed. That is a major chunk of an already limited water park.
