Ok any of you with kids or who have done the park with kids ..... ..We are able to ride most coasters with our 7yr old.( We broke him early .. LOL ..)

For rides he is not tall enough for yet he usually comes through the que with us . We get him over to the exit to wait there for us or like for the Borg one of us goes through the line when we get close to the station we call the other and then we go up to the exit and the operator lets the one ride while we wait then the one gets off and then whoever was waiting goes in through the exit and rides. they do this because no one is allowed to cross the tracks on the borg.

MyQuestion is this finally

on the rides at PKI how does this work ???...he is not tall enough yet for

Delirium

Face Off

Flight of Fear

Tomb Raider: The Ride

We have doen the you ride while you guys go elsewhere and don't mind but some rides We like to ride together if at all possible.

Thanks now for any info

Kings Island has a Parent Swap policy. Stop by Guest Realtions and they will give you all the information on the policy.

Yup, Parent swap works in the way that one parents rides while the other parent is left behind with the child. As for riding together just the parents, i think a few of the mentioned rides have kiddy corals, a safe locked area where the kids can enjoy many activites such as waiting and free fresh air. The parents ride the ride and collect their child once they are done. I know Flight of Fear has a Kid Coral but im not sure about the others.

all of those rides have kiddy corrals.

Yep, like PKI Vortex said, stop by guest relations to pikc up a parent swap card because sometimes at the rides they may not have one and when you want to do aparent swap make sure you tell the ride operators so they can clear it with the other guests, that way no one thinks your cutting in line or riding twice.

...a safe locked area where the kids can enjoy many activites such as waiting and free fresh air.

Mommy! Daddy! I wanna go outside and wait and enjoy the fresh air, just like at Kings Island!

I would love to be little and enjoy the fresh air and wait on my parents to get done riding.

Is that moobey in your avatar?

Always happy to provide a service hope you enjoy your ride and your park experience

Tomb Raider doesn't have a waiting area for kids without parents. I would advise that you do the swap there becuase kids have to wait outside of the building. We have done the parent swap there a few times and it works out well.

Why yes it is he golden calf of View ASkew Fame ...

And again many thanks for the tips and advice ... I know a lot has changed since my last visit in 96...But i am so stoked to be coming back to one of my favorite memories of childhood. Once or twice a summer we would make the trek from Chicago .I am now looking forward to making this great park a part of my child's life ...

whether he likes it or not ....

I am sure i will be posting more as the days draw near ...i am super stoked ....

If you havent been there since 96 then you are in for a shock the park has changed tremendously.

Oh yes, Kevin Smith is the man!

You said it! The children's area has been redone- three times, the world's tallest gyro drop has opened, two new looping coasters have been added, one being the world's tallest and fastest woodie, the world's first giant enclosed top spin was added, the world's first swining frisbee was added, King Cobra was removed along with Phantom Theater, a new Scooby Doo attraction exists, the water park has been renovated, and a terrible "family" coaster has been added

^Actually NC to OH since your coming with your family your going to love the Italian Job:Stunt Track, I believe you said your song is tall enough to ride 48' rides but not 54'? Then he will love IJ:ST your whole family will......yeah its no Borg Assimilator or Flight of Fear but its good funt hat you all can enjoy....hope you enjoy the trip and form your own opinions about the park and new attraactions first before you let the whiny people like theo ne above me get to you. HAVE A FUN AND SAFE TRIP!

yeah i hope you have a great time! and dont let those IJST haters influence anything you think xD it alll depends on the person....personally i dont lean either way on how good it is.

as for the kid corral, i know beast has one....i got put in it last season i wuz 18 and i had to sit in the kiddy corral >.<

LMAO!

yeah. i felt even worse when he locked the thing with the little hook lock thingy. all cuz some jerk jumped into my seat when i went over to put my jacket up.

Yeah there isnt really a waiting area secured for the kids, the place they wait is right outside the preshow door. Separated by two doors and the PreShow music. I can never hear someone knock on the door to get in anyway lol..... to hear someone outside knockin i must be gettin water or something. Otherwise i wouldnt hear scared kids knock on the door. Parent swap is probably the best option for Tomb Raider. Plus while i was there towards the end of the season we basically had just enough people, so we couldnt move from our workplaces to check on the unattended minor.

DMC

Yeah we have no plans on leaving him outside alone on Tomb Raider. ..As far as The Beast he is plenty tall enough and super super excited to ride ... i mean like annoyingly excited at this point ... LOL

the haters don't bother me eveyone is entitled to their own Opinion .

And as far as IJST ...thats one of the ones he is super stoked for as well. I am sure he will like it . The beauty is that he is so young he has yet to really become to cynical about ANYTHING...

Sounds like this kid is gonna have a good time. Buy him an on ride picture from The Beast, It's worth it.

If I may ask, What terrible family coaster are you talking about?

I believe that was a sarcastic reference to Italian Job Stunt Track. . .

Oh a picture on The Beast will be bought for him. He is starting a nice collection of ride photos.

You can also ask him how many days it is until we are there.He has told everyone he can tell from his teacher.the school janitor and his bus driver ... lol

He will start this weekend i am assuming to tell strangers and the grocery store.

i just can't wait myself now ...

let the pacing begin .

LOL.....

When are you guys scheduled to come down to see us @ PKI?

Should Get him a picture at FoF, if you manage to score a ride in a car alone, the empty seats are filled with aliens in the photo

Im sure he'd appreciate that, i know i would sadly im to cheap to buy pictures lol.....Only picture of a ride i ever bought was a Space Mountain in Disney Resort in Paris (School Trip, Memories)

Hope You Enjoy Your Time Here
