Captain Nemo Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Self explanatory. What is something other parks do that Kings Island doesn’t but you think should? Free Sunscreen: Holiday world Hand mounted cameras: SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Better App: Universal Studios and Disney Free Lockers: Universal Studios 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is something other parks do that Kings Island doesn’t but you think should? Free Sunscreen: Holiday world is included in your higher ticket price. Hand mounted cameras: SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, no need. Already have an official POV, and someone will drop their camera. Better App: Universal Studios and Disney, Yes need a major upgrade. Free Lockers: Universal Studios yes, if your ride requires me to secure all loose articles an area to place my belongings that are needed in the park should be provided.

tuxedoman52 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hard pass on the cameras, just enjoy the ride and assume a proper riding position. This only encourages ignorant guests more who think it's perfectly safe to pull their phones out on rides; it's really becoming an issue.Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I think KI should have lockers like Kentucky Kingdom, where you get a wristband tied to a locker and when scanned, the locker automatically opens (as opposed to the current system where you gave to remember both a passcode and the locker number) This would be extremely useful in the waterpark, especially since the slip of paper with the locker info could easily get wet (and that’s if it prints at all…) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I would love see a Virtual Queuing and getting rid of fast passes. If your not standing in queue your spending money the midways. Also shade shade shade! Nothing worse than getting pelted with the say on a 95 degree day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly surprised that this has never been implemented given all the other customer-service focused improvements in a post-Kinzel era. When Fast Lane was implemented, it was very clearly a quick way to make profit. The overhead was low (wristbands) and the revenue had to be off the charts, but then the park continued to vastly "oversell." You'd see rides like Flight of Fear with a regular, slow-moving line and a slightly less long, but still slow moving "Fast Lane" line. Given the experience at other parks and the name having the word fast in it, I couldn't believe that they were letting that happen. Hell, even on Firehawk back in the day (RIP), they'd do one station for Fast Lane one for regular guests with both lines being awful. "Fast Lane" was like 45 minutes for that ride. And the park just kept selling passes all day. The debut of Fast Lane was typical of that immediate post-Kinzel era: profit placed way over guest experience (or, rather, certain park VPs of "Kingzee's Ayyland" trying to make themselves look good). Given the strides CF has made in recent years, I'm surprised to see the "system" still exists and hasn't been upgraded to something more modern/guest friendly/advantageous (with the other benefit being that guests with a virtual queue are out of line spending money). Could even make it app based... but then they'd have to figure out an app. Edited August 7 by Gordon Bombay formatting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 More weekend operations: events that could be held regardless of ride schedules. I’m talking about food festivals in Soak City on the weekends in November and March so that way it doesn’t interfere with the off-season maintenance that the dry park goes through. Even extending Winterfest on weekends after New Years and keeping the winter theme going would give people something to do-limited attractions running of course. Haunt Thursdays: I believe CP does HalloWeekends from Thursday-Sunday. I wouldn’t mind seeing extended Haunt dates in order to maybe disperse crowds. The theme of my idea is basically extended seasons with different offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I wish Cedar Fair being cashless adopted something similar to Magic Bands at Disney. Sunblock provided in Soak City like HW or at the minimum provided inside the VIP lounge. Water fountains in the queue line like BG. Haunt Thursdays like CP. More behind the scenes tours that can be booked like BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney has those too, but it would be nice if my phone and or Watch didn’t have to fight the sun on who is brighter, and I could just simply tap either to redeem my add ons via NFC.
