The outdoor Coca-Cola refill stations used to be swarming in them last year. Now the only bees I have seen were carpenter bees around Race for your life Charlie Brown and the swarm in the parking lot that made the news. Has anyone else noticed this? A bee or no bee? That is the question. Had not given it that much thought, but yeah have only seen 2 or 3 in my visits so far this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am out of the loop unfortunately There was a swarm of honeybees on a car in the parking lot. Swarms are when a good amount of the ladies take the queen to start a new hive. They often stop and rest. Swarms are usually very calm and sedate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodVengeance Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Has anyone been able to go on the Eiffel Tower recently? I went to the park tuesday and friday of this week and it was down for both days. Weather was good on friday and WindSeeker was running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomPlague Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Is the wildfire smoke worse up in the tower? Don't know about Mason but here in central ohio, the air quality is pretty bad and I wonder if that causes them to close the tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 So what are everyone's thoughts about this weekend? There are A LOT of factors coming into play this weekend. -Holiday weekend. Granted the actual 4th falls on a Tuesday this year, many will be celebrating this weekend I'm sure -Taylor Swift concert in Cincinnati tomorrow and Saturday-I wouldn't be surprised if some of these folks make their way to the park this weekend before or after the concert -On the other end of the spectrum, the air quality could also play a role in keeping people inside this weekend and many might just skip going to the park all together 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It'll be busy. Saturday will likely be the busiest. I'd expect Sunday to be relatively busy as well with a lot of people being off work Monday. Weather may help the crowds a bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor.B03 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Just noticed that there is an old trivia question on the FunTV. It asks which ride experience is the fastest in the park, the awnsers are Slingshot, Orion, Drop Tower, The Beast. Slingshot is the awnser to the question. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Went to Soak City for the first time since 2018* and had a great time. It was great coming back to old favorites; I especially enjoyed Pineapple Pipeline (fka Bonsai Pipeline) and Ultratwister (not sure what it's called now). I rode all the old (WaterWorks-era) slides minus Zoom Flume (fka Rushing River) as well as Splash River, Tropical Plunge (green drop slide) and the old wave pool (Breaker's Bay). Speaking of Breaker's, I noticed that there is now only one entrance into that wave pool, with netting around the rest of the "shore" (it used to be a free-for-all as the wave pool could be entered from anywhere). Though I understand why they are doing this (I'm assuming for safety reasons), it still took some getting used to. I did not see if the same entrance modification was made to Tidal Wave Bay. *I've visited the waterpark since then, I just haven't ridden anything since 2018 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 If you are at KI today, avoid Coney Mall (and reportedly Area 72); there is currently a bug infestation. It’s worse from WindSeeker to the basketball game. Coney BBQ patio is much less of a swarm, but there are a few. EDIT: The bugs are less in AP and even less so in Action Zone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
