If you're correctly using the stickers you wouldn't be side by side besides passing.  19D257E5-C567-4AE6-A777-5AD351923CD1.jpeg

she shouldn't be there hence the staggered stickers. 

What about walking past each other?

I guess you could hold your breath? :lol:

I have heard that most rides have about an hour wait, but can any of you guys confirm?

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but how is the change from where Vortex was? Does it look different from the ground view?

Now we know it is going to be there for awhile...

Yep!  They know it's going to be there a while...

Yeah, my heart kinda stopped when I walked by The Vortex plot. The pictures are good, but it just doesn't show how much different it feels. Even for a first time park visitor, it definitely feels empty.

I'm thinking of coming by the park around 5, do you all think the line for Orion will have dissipated some by then?

they're staining it, not painting it.  Typically, wood fences aren't painted, since paint peels easily in extreme weather.  As to the social distancing- even if people can't (won't) stand 6 feet apart, wearing masks is much more important, since if everyone around you is wearing one, that greatly reduces the chance of contagion.  As for first day park ops-think about what Disney went through with Rise of the Resistance-parking tolls filling up at 330 and 4 AM and Disney having to open the Studios at 5 AM, until they figured it out and didn't open the tolls until 6 AM and the park at 7.  I was there on one of the first days of 7 AM openings to snag a spot and was thankful for it, instead of willy nilly opening the park at different times each day.  They'll figure it out.

Oh cool, maybe I'll be able to get a ride in when I swing by.

New sensor shuts it down when it isn't reaching capacity per hour:P

If you are so worried about it then stay home. You are not going to get 100% of the people to do things like they should. We have been experimenting on how to were a mask and not have our glasses fog up. We have yet to figure something out. I assure you that I will be taking my mask off often just to get my glasses to defog. So now they are forcing me to put my hands on my face FAR more often than if I didn't wear a mask. 

You have air flowing from the top of your mask towards your eyes. Seal that up better and you won't have fogging issues. Could consider some tape or a better fitting mask.  N95 you can adjust the nose through the strip of metal,  a handmade / handkerchief  you will have problems.

Seriously... I literally said besides passing. Figured that meant passing by as you queued. Just like passing people in a grocery store line or what not. But if everyone's on their appropriate sticker nobody should be side by side directly for when you're standing still.  
 

it is hard not to pack in like sardines when that's what you've been used to all these years. spacing out will take some getting used to and nobody's going to be perfect 100%. But the spacing in pics is still really good.  

Are there any changes to Flight of Fear? As in theming or refurbishment changes.

I just wanted to take a moment to say everything ran smoothly and amazingly today, and to thank everyone that took part in making it such a great experience!  Thank you Kings Island team!!!

So are we allowed to re-enter the park as in come in the morning (after our reservation time) stay for a couple of hours, drive outside the park (let's say to go pick up my wife) and come back in the same day? 

I'm thinking of getting there early Saturday and getting an Orion ride in and then coming back with her that evening after 5 (she's not a fan of the heat).
