I may have stumbled upon a blue-print of the next thing that will take the area of Vortex...

Also, I may be mistaken here, but I believe if someone voluntarily provides proof of vaccination, that is not any type of violation. HIPPA only really comes in to play when that type of information is given out without consent of the individual. Hence why you have to sign all of the forms giving permission for the doctors to tell immediate family member of any condition, should you choose. Regarding rights, I believe it has been discussed at length in other topics what we are, and are not, entitled to as patrons of the park.

My dream has come true. Im so happy right now that I'm almost in tears. I can't believe it has happened. Thank you IMMENSELY IceePirate. Thank you KIC. Thank you Kings Island for giving me the chance to own a slice of Arrow history. Thank you everyone here for helping me make this happen. Thank you KIC. I wish i could show you all how happy i am right now, but through here its impossible! Thank you so much IceePirate for making my dreams come true. Thank you everyone!!

So you are saying our lives haven't changed the way it is? The reason I refuse the vaccine has nothing to do with the mark of The Beast, the card or anything like that, I don't need. The reason I refuse the vaccine is because I don't get any vaccines of now. I don't get the flu vaccine because I don't want it. This is the same. If I get the Virus, so be it, that is my choice and I will either live with the consequences, or I will be called home. Please don't take this as an argument, I just want to clarify why I don't want this. The fear the media has spread will not influence my decisions. I mention the numbers, which I really believe are inflated, just so others can see my understanding on how I feel about the scare tactics. I have had friends that have had this, and yes, a couple have went home, but those that went home, had other conditions. Some, had a slight fever and a positive test. I have seen from one extreme to the other, and am still refusing to fear this virus. IBEW_Sparky- You are correct on the phone. I am not a fan of the tracking with it and try to ignore that as much as possible. I don't believe it matters on who has accepted the vaccine and who hasn't. Fear has caused the people to argue and fight over how others feel. If masks work, then open the country, if social distancing works, then spread people out. I card saying I have been vaccinated is not going to change these things. Lastly, am I saying this is the mark of The Beast? No, but it can lead to it. I will say this again to finish, you don't have to agree with me, nor I with you. However, I will respect your wishes as best I can. I just hope people question all things being presented. You all have to make your own mind up on How you feel about what is going on. I will respect that.

1. I will not get a vaccine for something I am 99.98% survivability rate or better. I would guess many feel this way. 2. Is this the beginning of a mark for purchases? I know religion is not permitted, but this is a thought on many minds and needs addressed. I will not argue for or against any one religion, but I know what I believe and will stand for that,

Yes, all of this!!! Id be 100% on board with A)going back to full trains, even if the mask requirement remains for the queues and for all building structures OR (prefrrably) B)Having a card with one's name and/or photo on it showing verification of receiving the vax and simply being able to show it to security/admissions to compare to my pass name and photo for unrestricted access to the parks.

Oh, for the "I aint gettin no dang guvment vaxxine, its got one of dem dang trackers in it" demographic..... may I ask if the aforementioned are posting on, or even carrying, a smart phone? No more will be said. Ive addressed what Id like to see, I know Im already on lists, I have no concern about willingly getting a vaccine provided it will allow me to contribute to the eventual return of normalcy, I wish to "freely" (pure freedom is anarchy and unsustainable) enjoy the time Ive got left to enjoy this go around, and I can happily sit back and watch the rest of things unfold.

In order for people to be truly protected from COVID-19, there needs to be herd immunity where the people around you are also protected with a vaccine. If someone gets the vaccine, there is still a small chance they can catch it from others they are around if they have not been vaccinated. By choosing to get vaccinated, you are not only protecting yourself but others whom you know and strangers who you don’t know.

I still stand by my previous statement. Lemme just put a fake marker in Planet Snoopy real quick and.... Planet Snoopy STRATA COASTER

As always, if you have any ideas for future episodes, please let me know!

If you get the vaccine, great! But don't be complacent with it. The claims of 90-95% effectiveness are wonderful, but if people have the mentality of "I'm vaccinated, so I am good!", a false sense of security can ensue. Also, it's not "HIPPA"--its HIPAA! )

I know we may never know but I am still very curious as to why the ride was removed. The timing for its removal just seems so off to me.

From what I have been hearing campers are very hard to find right now. Sound like this will be opening up right on time. I am not a camper my self mostly because if I don't sleep on a quality bed I have back issues. We have thought about buying a mobile home at some point for this reason.

I'm a christian and the son of a former church minister (left ministry for personal reasons) and I had a long talk with my dad and we both agree that this vaccine or any vaccine is likely not the mark of The Beast found in the bible. According to the book of revelation, the mark is going to be used in worship of the antichrist. Taking a vaccine isn't worshipping anything. That's one thing I want to clear up. However, I don't want to get too technical in religion or politics because obviously those aren't allowed on here.

"Survival" is not the only important metric. There are countless cases of people who "recovered" and are still suffering with various symptoms months later. Concerns for lasting lung damage, mental health issues, etc. So you might not die, but your life will never be the same.

This is a HIPPA violation and a violation of rights.

If most airlines have stopped leaving middle seats open in a confined enclosed space, then certainly we can start seating every row on an outdoor coaster again.

I find it a bit hard on the thighs if you sit the wrong way, but for it's age, I don't think it's too bad... I've always found it a bit underwhelming compared to newer hypercoasters, but I think it's just they deliver more of the feeling that I enjoy... I really enjoy the small hills coming back to the station, but that's also where the most potential for pain is... I also think that the ride is much better at night...

If you missed Episode 1, you can listen to it here first:

I voted for Action Zone. I think they could replace Invertigo and Congo Falls with a Mack PowerSplash and then retheme/update the rest of the area.

When deducing what could replace Vortex, maybe we should look into the eyes of the general public/non-enthusiasts. What type of attraction would give the park the best possible roi and be a hit with the general public?

Monday's update!

Those photos are pretty cool! Here's some photos that I've taken.

Those are some amazing pictures @Gordon Bombay! Especially with 35mm...very nice.

So we should not get together with family and friends for maybe the last chance to see others? We will never know when we will be taken from this earth, but we are going to be threatened by the media that having a gathering will kill us. Please pay attention to the ones that are telling you that you can't gather. California governor disobeyed his order by having a party. Is there a danger? Yes, but protect to ones that are compromised. Wear masks around them if needed. But, for the most of us, we have a 99.98% or more chance of survival. Am I willing to give up my freedom for that? No. Be with family, it may be the last time. Protect them, but be with them. Now, back to the question I asked earlier as I was thinking someone here might have a definite answer about how many people have been infected at amusement parks. One person said probably zero, and I would believe that. Most parks are taking several protective measures, maybe more than needed, but why should the parks not open when they have the chance. It is time to open America back up. Let the parks open to no restrictions, but give the park the ability to do there own safety protocol. I have seen many complaining about Indiana Beach and their lack of safety, but if no cases have came from there, maybe there is something to that. If you don't feel safe, don't go. However, if we keep pushing the fear into everything, the middle class will be no more. This is my opinion, you are welcome to disagree. Just look at the things around you.

Action Zone and Oktoberfest are conveniently adjacent neglected areas. I'm staying with my previously posted opinion to merge AZ into Oktoberfest, and Bat/Banshee could be the Black Forest part of it. Then you'd have a good-sized, proper Oktoberfest like Busch Williamsburg.

How about wInTeRfEsT?

If you've had the vaccine, why do you care if I've had it?

Knotts cancels their tasting event.
