disco2000 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 33 minutes ago, DonHelbig said: We’re nearing mid-July, and let’s be honest—this has been really rough season at Kings Island and for the company. From staffing shakeups to cutbacks, to things like no ice, no cups, and restaurants closed—it’s all added up. Guests have noticed. I’ve noticed. But here’s the part we don’t say enough: there are still a lot of hard-working associates out there showing up every day, doing their best with what they’ve got. And they deserve credit—a lot of it. The message about what’s wrong? It’s been heard. Loud and clear. The park knows. It’s on them to fix it. As we head down the homestretch for daily operation, let’s shift the focus and talk more about the good things happening during our vidits. Absolutely! The ride ops and other front line associates are doing the best they can with the limitations handed to them from above. Sadly, those making these decisions collect their big bonuses and never interact with the guests.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's honestly a better prize than any of those stuffed animals. Might have to take a crack at the ring toss... not that I'll have any luck probably 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I still have my 20% off games coupon to use so I may use that for this game and try my luck at it some time soon. Thankful to all the folks at the park doing their best to keep things running as best they can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The new family thrill attraction will be some Snicker themed dark ride. Imagine the ride cars 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterJack Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I gotta know how much KI or SF is making off of all this. I hope it's at least a few million for the entire chain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Does anyone have a link to the thrill seeker bundle? I'm a season passholder but taking my daughter and a friend on Mon. I saw it under daily tickets when I checked a couple of weeks ago but don't see it now, or forgot where to look. I thought it was available to buy throughout July?

I believe also in late Paramount/early CF there were "ride fact" signs sponsored by Marathon Gas. So ads in the park is not new. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I remember...I even remember when they had actual cars parked around the park advertising ....just pointing out we are slowing seeing the return... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Y'know, I think I might prefer these small signs over putting a car on a midway. You can tell they were made to be unobtrusive and easily changed out/disassembled. Kings Island has always had sponsors, as has Disney, and so have many other regional parks. The transition from the merger has allowed a ton of people to recognize a slight change and then run wild with comments. I also wanted to hop on the positivity train and mention that I've had a great time at Kings Island this season because of all the associates I've encountered. My food and drinks have been good. I really enjoyed the new Pep + Chee sandwich (I have got to find out how much pepperoni is on that thing). The shows, while having shorter runs, remain high quality. The rides are still nicely consistent. Most of my complaints are for Six Flags' corporate teams. Budget cuts affect everyone and I think there are better ways to go about doing them, but the echo chambers often repeat the loudest and harshest voices. The associates deserve much more than they're getting, and I hope the park and Six Flags are able to stabilize and improve the overall situation rather quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted Wednesday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:54 PM Is white water canyon super busted? Rode by in the train today and it was completely drained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
