Security Protocols

[lordyladybug]

I've never been to Kings Island but I can't quite work out how the security at the front works online (Do bags go through metal detector? Or do they just look inside and go over you with a wand?). I was just wondering because generally I get anxious going through security so when I can I like to know what I can expect. All the language on it online is kind of vague so I'd appreciate a walk through so to speak if anyone could help!

You walk through a metal detector and they look in your bag. Sometimes they wand you and/or your bag as well.

- walk through detector no beeps with or without bag

You go through no problems.

-walk through detector with beeps but no bag

Clear pockets and walk back through/wand offending area depending on associate.

-walk through with a bag and beeps but not without bag

Set bag on table and walk back through. Only bag check required.

- walk through with bags and beeps with and without

Bag check AND wanding of offending area. I.E waist-down, upper body etc

It appears to me the sensitivity of the metal detectors has been adjusted up somewhat. I can walk through with a phone, cable, power bank and fob and not set it off.  Switching to a different belt has probably helped as well.

I wonder what the OP is trying to hide.  A vape?

Probably one purchased in Michigan or Illinois.

Yesterday I set it off, presumably with my altoids tin, belt, and phone---the attendant didn't stop me at all and was mainly concerned that I got the 'code of conduct' business card.

Sad state of affairs when people have to be given a card to remind them how to behave in public

Isn't that the truth!

And even sadder that folks think that same behavior doesn't apply to the parking lot....just another lot fight after close last night. 

It is happening everywhere unfortunately.  I would like to think statistically it is less at KI than other places.

What happened last night?  As we were leaving after the Fireworks, we noticed a sea of "blue lights' in the parking lot in the general area were you would cross the street where you enter the handicapped parking.  I assumed it was an accident

Accident on KI Drive.

Don, thanks for clearing that up.  I know this is unrelated but let me tell you guys, the Grand Carnival is one great event.  Colorful, energetic, Almost as good as Winterfest, which is magical.
