FUN&ONLY! Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Kings Island feels really crowded today, and the parking lot backs that up. However, lines for the major rides and and food really are kind of short for a Saturday. It is very interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think operations have been much more efficient, but a lot of food locations were still closed. From what I saw, The French Corner, Cinnabon, Graeter’s, Subway, Auntie Anne’s in Rivertown, and Rivertown Funnel Cakes were all closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was closed, but it is almost always closed in a normal year. I noticed a couple Coke Refresh stations closed, but most were open.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Honestly I think KI should bring this food truck event back or just bring in a bunch of food trucks and set them around the Eiffel Tower like they do here: Also, I did see the park did bring a food truck in today. It was right across from International Showplace. However, imo what I think they should do for at least the first few weeks of the season in the future is bring in multiple food trucks to help with food lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Speaking of food trucks, 1776 Grille is amazing! Also, I know the guy in charge of Empenadas Aqui (in the thumbnail). He is name is Brett and I was in youth group with him at my old church; his older brother Chris was in the worship band. Great guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There was a food truck there this past weekend over by International Showplace on that midway going down into PS. It was 1776 Grill. However, I do hope either they bring back the whole food truck festival thing in the future or bring in a bunch of food trucks for the first few weekends of the season and memorial day weekend and set them around the base of the Eiffel Tower to help with food lines.

Lines were low all day. longest wait was for MT and BBOBH which were each about 30 mins by mid afternoon. DB was only running 2 trains all day. There were a couple of pop up showers about 130 and 3 that each lasted 10-15 mins. the first one shut the outdoor rides down while the second only caused about half the ones I walked by to close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenthodge Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Walk ons every thing I’ve seen today. A few “not running” rides. I know weather factors in, but days like today I almost think they could’ve closed Tuesday and Wednesday, then kept the longer Friday and Saturdays and been better operationally. Tough call to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twirly Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 A humid day and lots of adolescents is enough to make me miss masks. OooooewwwwEverything is walk on that I have seen so far. Orion just closed.

YOULLBEBACK Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Has the heat today caused less attendance? Curious how that would affect the park...nearing 90 out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN&ONLY! Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 From the webcams, Kings Island looks decently crowded, but it does not look absolutely packed like it has on some days this year. On another note, Rivertown Freestyle is open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Crowds are on the thin side for a Saturday, probably heat and inability to just jump over to Soak City to cool off is a deterrent to many. They knew @King Ding Dong wasn't there today, so they opened that Freestyle 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even summer 2019 I got a walk on on Beast at like 2pm on July 4th. It did not get busy until about 8pm when the waterpark closed. Holiday World does not do waterpark reservations and this very same thing happened on June 4th this year. I got 5 rides on Voyage before the water park closed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know water park staffing is likely the main reason Kings Island is requiring reservations, but I could see them being dropped soon if staffing improves because I know Soak City goers probably cannot stand the reservations. This is forcing the crowds in the dry park to be higher than they usually would on such a hot summer day, and it is also forcing the park to make baffling staffing decisions like opening the Rivertown Freestyle location. LOL! In all seriousness, I am surprised Cedar Fair has invested so little into Soak City when it gets very crowded on most summer days. You would think they would rebrand and expand it to attract new guests and hold a higher capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
