Why call out me? I didn't take those pics nor was I there. I was planning on going but I have been fighting a cold for days and even though I am fully vaccinated I decided not to go and spread anything to others.

One of the photos your are probably referring to was mine. I didn't post it as a social distancing observation. I posted it to discuss the 2021 season, as in the ride was officially running and we were in line. Now, it seems from your posts that you are not comfortable going to Kings Island at this point. Guess what? That is totally fine. No one is forcing anyone to go. Was the social distancing as good as it should have been? No. Did I feel uncomfortable at any point during the day? No. Here's why. I've gotten vaccinated. (I AM NOT STARTING A VACCINATION DEBATE. SIMPLY STATING A FACT). I did this to get back to normal. Saturday was one of the most "back to normal" experiences that I have had in the past year. Bottom line, if you feel comfortable in maskless crowds, enjoy the park. If not, then either wear a mask or don't go. As for me, I plan to enjoy the heck out of KI this summer. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you there, looking forward to visiting this season! Not concerned with being outdoors in crowds, but I'm also one of those people that has been deemed "essential" (expendable?) in a position where I work with the general public all day. I have managed to not only stay COVID free, so I'm not really feeling the discomfort that others are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been in person all year, masks only in the hallways, not in the classroom. Hope you enjoy your visits to the park!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighting is pretty much just upgraded throughout the entire ride, especially in the final tunnel, and all the animatronics are working perfectly. I don’t necessarily think brand new effects were added, but Kings Island did a great job of repairing the old ones that hadn’t worked properly in a while. One noticeable change is that the tunnel right before the first lift hill now had blue LED’s that give it a completely different look than it had before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 So question for whoever answers this. Since people weren't maintaining social distancing and/or wearing face coverings when they were supposed to, will Kings Island get fined by the state of Ohio? Also will they have to go back to having employees in the lines like last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
