How crowded is KI on Memorial Day?
I am still kicking myself for not going down last 4th of July...

Meal Deals, and meal deals
Totally agree. It is so nice to grab a drink to have in line and not have a big plastic cup to worry about. Or, in the case of MT and Banshee, being able to have a drink in line period. Well done KI!

Well, was planning on making an evening trip down after work today, but with the rain moving in sooner, doesn't look like it will happen. Tomorrow afternoon looks promising, however...

We are loving the new paper cup drink plan this year. Especially last night when you could walk up to any drink stand without waiting. Really going to be nice on hot days this summer to grab a drink before waiting in line and not having to worry about storing a plastic cup. Great job KI!!!!

I really hope it's not as bad as last Friday. Those crowds were worse than when we go to Disney in June. We are coming down when I get off work. Should be to KI by 5:30. Really wanting to get rides on everything we didn't get to last Friday. Planning to end the night with our first night-time MT ride!!

2017 Kings Island park changes & upgrades
Hoping to get a ride on Dodgem Friday night to check out the new lights! Showed our 10 year old the pic in this thread, and he got all excited and said, "It looks like night vision!"

Dinosaurs Alive?
We enjoy it. Our boys (10 and 7) really like it. I agree with IndyGuy4KI, it is a nice afternoon break. We will walk it a lot of days after eating lunch. Lots of walking, but nice and shaded for a lot of it. Plus, with Gold/Platinum passes, it is free! Welcome to KICentral!!!

I think we are going to come down Friday when I get off work. Should make it down by 5:30. With the park only being open from 5-10 I am hoping for low crowds. Well, at least lower than last Friday....

My wife and I use running belts that basically hold our phones, gold pass, key. They are very low profile and go under our shirts. We haven't had any problems with these. Was your fanny pack on the outside of your shirt?

Season drink plan questions
Yes. Another member measured that it is about 6 ounces smaller. Agree about the paper cup plan. This is the first year we got a drink plan and we love it!!!

How was your ride on Mystic Timbers?
We totally enjoyed it. We ended up waiting for 3 hours (2-5). Worth every minute. The shed was pretty cool, but maybe a bit over hyped. 5/5 for the ride!!!!

What is the price of slingshot throughout the day? Would you recommend riding slingshot if you have never ridden it before?
My wife hates WindSeeker and LOVES Slingshot. Early in the day it is $10 per person. During peak ride time it goes as high as $25. She rode it with our 7 year old son. They can't wait to do it again! Enjoy your visit!!!
