Guest faceoff Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Does anybody think Kings Island will decide to open easter sunday? The other paramount parks are also open good friday, saturday and easter sunday 10am- 8pm. I hope they decide to. I am coming on thursday the 13th and stay the entire weekend. I would really like to go easter sunday. What does everybody think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZosoBeast Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The last time PKI was open on an Easter Sunday, the park was a Ghost Town! The weather was perfect, but it was like you had the entire park to yourself! This picture, that was taken the very last time PKI was open on an Easter Sunday, pretty much says it all...... So I would be SHOCKED if they would be open that day! Shocked I tell ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Every Paramount Park had substantial cuts in the schedule of open days and/or hours this year. I HIGHLY doubt the park will be open Easter. Also, on Easter, as always, Paramount's Kings Dominion does NOT open til 10:30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess on easter sunday,i will just park across the street and wish i was riding The Beast and italian job. Sniff Sniff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Across the street? I hear The Beach will also not be open Easter Sunday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest faceoff Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Across the street? I hear The Beach will also not be open Easter Sunday... Across the street is the showcase cinemas parking lot. I guess, i will go to a movie and then sit in my car and wish i was in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooferBearATL Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 WOW! Did they move Showcase and the Beach? I've never seen it across the street from Kings Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest faceoff Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The showcase cinemas has always been across the street from Kings Island. I know this and don't even live in the area. I have been to see movies there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 And the Beach isn't THAT far away, and it sure isn't on the same side of the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Well, I'd say that Showcase is more across from the old Campground. I would not exactly call that across the street any more than I would say that Harley Davidson is right across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Well, you can see the Showcase Cinemas from Top Gun, and it is as across the street from Kings Island as you can get. Definantely more across the street than the Harley store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 If i remember correctly a few years ago on easter sunday, which happened to be bring a friend free day, the park was still dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would be SHOCKED if they would be open that day! Shocked I tell ya! I love that photo! I wish I was there! Look how dead it is. And observe that there is a train on the side track. That means theyre running two trains - only 2/3 the capacity - and they are STILL dead! That would be an excellent time to marathon Vortex! Oh and the girl driving the ride is awesome! I kind of hope the park is closed. Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe comes out on Easter, on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamdabozz73 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 the park will be open on Easter. My mom works in entertainment and they all received a memo saying the park would be open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZosoBeast Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 BEGIN SARCASM Hear that everybody? A brand new member with only 3 posts just said the park WILL INDEED be open Easter Sunday! Everybody make your plans now! Book the hotel rooms, get your season pass processed and tell the Easter Bunny to take a hike! I can say with no doubt in my mind, as I raise my hands to the heavens, Paramount's Kings Island will be OPEN Easter Sunday! YEAH!!1!!11twelve!11!one END SARCASM NOW Really, the day is marked off on both the employee schedule and the normal operating schedule. Believe me, I would LOVE the park to be open that day and make it a triple visit for me that weekend, I just dont see it happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Actually, the park will be closed this Easter. We open Saturday, and then are closed until the following weekend. There are also no plans as of yet to have the park open any later than 10pm until October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Right. I would have thought that they would have been open until 11 on at least the Fourth of July weekend. Oh Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It's all in cost cutting to make the books look better for the impending sale. I just hope we don't see and/or suffer from obvious cost cutting when the park opens this spring . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 But will it really make the books look that much better? Yes, it might make them look better for this year, but won`t any future owner look at the books beyond just this year`s? I just have a feeling that these cuts, along with not opening the gates until 10, will result in a hit to customer satisfaction. That is just a hunch though, and I hope it turns out to not be true.

Gordon Bombay Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 ^Good point Coasters RZ, theyre closing because not enough people are going to come to make profit (much like on the day you and I were there and the park closed at 4) and I'm sure theyd do this regardless of whether they were selling it or not, but Im sure the interpreter knows for sure, I think his aunts works in entertainment and she got the memo too.

The Interpreter Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 My aunt doesn't work for Paramount's Kings Island. None of my relatives work for Paramount's Kings Island. Nor do I work for CBS Corporation, Viacom or any other CBS related company. Further than that I am not saying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If you made that bet, you'd lose... I have carefully written what I did above, so let me add, I am not now employed by, nor have I ever been employed by Viacom, Paramount, Kings Island, KECO, Taft Broadcasting or their affiliates...nor is or has any member of my immediate family been so employed!
