Kings Island 2019 Discussion

Considering it’s a Saturday, and also Coasterstock and the PiviP event, I dare say a fair few people will be. 

[Creed Bratton]

I'm interested to see what new flavors of cotton candy will be available at the park this coming week/weekend. 

Anyone here know if there were any new flavors last weekend? If so, what?

Oh!! I didn't even think about the fact that this is Coasterstock weekend!! 

[Magenta Lizard]

It was new to me but I’m not certain it was new last weekend

I kind of threw up a little. 

[lifetimecoaster]

That doesn't even sound good. Probably wouldn't stop me from trying it.

I’ve been told that the Jelly Belly “Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans” “vomit” flavor is actually parmesan cheese flavored so it does make me question the palatability of sugary Alfredo flavor...

4 more days until my first visit of the season and I'm getting quite excited to see the changes. Anyone else going to be at the park Saturday the 18th? 

I'll be there If you can pinpoint me through a thousand people at the park.

I’m curious, how many people does KI hold on a very busy day? Anyone know?

I would venture to say about 35,000.

Somewhat off topic, but I think it would be cool if Kings Island could replace the Invertigo name, with Stinger.

Definitely or replace it with a better ride

I like the ride.. just needs a harness that doesn't destroy my ears.

Is the harness any different on the new train? I've yet to ride Invertigo this season

That would be including water park, but yeah that’s a pretty busy day.

It’s not any different, but it feels a lot smoother

Oh.. interesting. They didn't even bother to repaint it cause I was noticing how rusty it still is (compared to when I rode it last season) lol. 

[silver2005]

I'm still blown away our Invertigo model still runs as good as it has in terms of lack of downtime, especially considering the fate of the rest of the Inverigo models. 

I think KI should keep it just entirely out of the fact that its such a rare model. 

[FoF96"]

I’d want to keep it named Invertigo for the simple fact Stinger was associated with frequent downtime and strandings.  Sometimes names of troubled rides should stay dead

When I worked at KI, we had a haunt night with over 60,000.

[Shawn Meyer]

Alright forgive me. I was never good at math here. Lol

Just a strange observation. Yesterday, I was walking down I-Street and as always, I walk past the Starbucks. I like coffee, but it's not something I crave at Kings Island. So I usually never go in.  However, its presence at the park has always seemed odd to me, but I never really thought about why. Starbucks are everywhere, so I usually shrug it off. But this time, I look in. And it hits me just how weird it is. Unlike most of the franchises at the park, the vibe is exactly what you get at a normal Starbucks. Quiet atmosphere. College students on their kindles and phone, doing what looks to be homework? It's like the people there don't even realize they're in an amusement park.
