Had to leave literal hell with all these bugs, people said they were gnats but I’m not a bug expert.

I think the fact they no longer infuse the water with any fruit and returned to the tiny water cups shows just how dedicated they are to provide prestige passholders a premium experience.

Had the pub burger tonight, was very good. Brew house still blows out every other in-house restaurant at the park. Have not had a bad meal there once this season.

Terrible capacity and thus far terrible reliability, real winner the park has on their hands. Dont get me wrong I’m happy they built a flat ride but I wish they had picked a better flat ride for the park.

Most appetizing looking tea

Thanks for the clarification, guess their website needs updated.

So excited for all 60 people who get to ride it an hour you know the capacity is horrible if there’s no fastlane.

Terrible idea imo, going to make regular line longer while devaluing the fastlane product.

I think you summed up my feelings perfectly. The area feels like 85%, once they hopefully polish out the area with music & AE missing elements then it’ll really feel special. It’s a great step in the right direction and is by far the best themed area of the park.

I will say the other day I saw security tell a few kids to get off the brick ledge / wall on the path connecting Rivertown & Coneymall so maybe security actually does care about people sticking to path.

The head.

Cedar Fair is not investing in Kings Island because they’re trying to be nice or something. Kings Island getting an investment is solely based on what’s best for Cedar Fair as a business. They should be grateful they are in industry with fans who are willing to justify everything the company does.

Brew house has been very good this season. I’ve had the BBLT, KI Salad & Clucks in a barrel all in the past week and they’ve all been very good. They also give you 2 dipping sauce without charging extra unlike some other chum bucket restaurant on istreet.

Charging $1.29 for sauce to an already overpriced meal is ridiculous, I mean bruh look how little sauce is on that already.

Noticed two things yesterday. 1: It looks like an old arrow mine train is being used as theming, it looked like a crash train near the track. 2: it looks like it might have gotten a new or refurbished chain lift. Ik that it got The Vortex chain but yesterday I noticed maintenance Unpacking a new chain.

I want to clarify that there was no one present in the preferred lot station Sunday, they just had a sign saying preferred pass people can enter.

One interesting thing is that it seems like the size of the area had been reduced. I don’t think the airbrush building is being included in the area anymore as the concept art shows.

Went to the park an hour before close, the preferred parking lot was still open so it seems like they may have learned from yesterday.

Most of the data the park has is probably just from the ticket booths & whenever a transaction occurs tbh. I’m not quite sure how they collect the number of riders an hour. For purposes of the preferred lot I don’t think they keep track of how many people leave the lot or enter the lot (although I could be wrong here and they just assume all prestige pass ticket holders + Daily purchases enter the lot). Could totally be wrong on all this but that’s just my assumptions.

If they’re going to close off the preferred parking lot because they don’t want to pay for monitoring its capacity then it’s only fair they offer a $15 voucher imo. Ridiculous, greedy move by the park. Also the parking lot filling up in the first place is also entirely preventable, a data model could easily make a semi accurate prediction on how likely the lot would will fill up on a given day.

Do you have a picture of the light package? I don’t recall how it looked.

I feel the same way, the lack of bottle drinks is extremely disappointing. Them closing the preferred parking lot would upset me significantly since atm that’s really the only big perk of this pass imo.

One thing I do want to mention is that it’s a nice touch to be greeted by name when entering the vip area!

Unfortunately for my health Sweet shop has an even better variety of sweets this year! The buckeye mousse was very good and the cheesecake creamsicle was decent.

I think Kings Island needs to seriously consider a chaperone police like WoF. If they felt the need to close Action Zone on day one due to an incident I can’t imagine how many other times it’s going to happen this season.
