flightoffear1996 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I heard the same thing about Canada's Wonderland. I am excited for a health 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Is that something that KI offers up or is it something that the government tells them they’re doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there may be some force of law, it's normally a voluntary thing, often with a rental fee attached. Basically, the city, county, or state government (health department) rents out a parking lot, parking garage, or convention center to host the vaccination site. Kent County, MI, in Grand Rapids, originally agreed to pay its convention authority $12k/day in facility rentals for this purpose, before getting that waived..

TheHappy_13 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Most do it for the PR. Every time the news (Cincinnati/Dayton/C-bus) brings up a vac site they will mention Kings Island. the thought is (obviously) it can/will create revenue.

BeeastFarmer Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 They could offer Fast Lane vaccination or Pharmacist's Needle (available on the All Season Vaccination Plan). Members of coaster clubs could come to VACCstock and get exclusive BTS tours of pharmacists drawing up the doses. The anti-vaxxers are not forgotten either: An All Season Cool Aid plan could be offered with a refillable cup in the shape of a syringe with red line or a disposable paper mask cup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
