International street makeover
Those lasers were used in 2023, 2024, and 2025 as well.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2025 Discussion
There’s a few in there that made a comeback this year. The Darkest Day from Independence Day, Main Title from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and a couple of others I can’t remember off the top of my head.

If you could have a sleepover at KI
I did it at KI! It was as surreal as you can imagine setting up a tent as the park closed, riding beast late at night, going to bed to the sounds of the park after close, and then waking up in an amusement park in the morning.

Are you sure? There’s no line right now!

Best places to propose at Kings Island?
I’ve seen lots of people propose in front of the fountain, that’s probably the most popular spot.

Burger King on International Street
I’m more of a Chief Beef guy myself.

The Mysterious House In The Train Fort That Cannot Be Torn Down
THIS is the kind of content I come to KICentral for! I just spent so much time looking at those pictures and comparing them to present-day!

Remember when Kings Island could've been connected to downtown Cincinnati by a metro rail line?
It’s times like these that I wish I was wealthy. I’d love to build a haunt in those tunnels.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2024 Reviews
They work during the day. Some activation points are on during tricks and treats, some are on during haunt only, and some are on for both. Many of them do different things during the day vs at night.

Food and beverage associate question
This would definitely be a question for your supervisor or for associate services.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2024 Discussion
I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure costumes are allowed as long as they are tasteful and don’t involve any kind of face covering (Masks, makeup, hoods, veils, etc.). I’m not sure on the exact specifics.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2024 Discussion
From what I can remember from my time working in the mazes during haunt (2016 - 2018), no boo necklaces are allowed in the mazes but they don’t do anything to keep you from getting scared. It’s a lot easier to not go through a haunted house than it is to avoid the scare zones. In most cases guests were instructed to turn their necklaces off before entering the mazes because they’re bright and they’re distracting to other guests. I still miss Hot Blooded, as do many many other people. If I could bring back one show, that would be it. I’m still sad that it’s gone all these years later.

Kings Island General Discussion 2024
Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I like the jazz on International Street. I do wish the track list was longer though.

Sonder Blue Ice Cream Ale Returns for 2024
I’ve tried it a couple times. It was alright. Then again, I’m not much of a beer guy to begin with.

Reimagining Dinosaurs Alive
Trail of Terror was my favorite Haunt attraction. I’d love to see the path be utilized for something similar in the future.

Restaurant Chains you wouldn’t mind seeing at KI
A Mediterranean restaurant at KI would be absolutely AMAZING. I’d love to be able to sit down and have a gyro at the park.

Coney Island Permanently Closing
Sad, but definitely not unexpected. Once they removed the rides, I had a feeling Coney Island wouldn’t last much longer. I am excited to see this new venue and how that plays out, and also wonder what will happen with Riverbend / PNC Pavilion with the new venue being built. It seems strange to me that they would keep 3 venues operating so close together. Could Riverbend or PNC Pavilion be on the way out too?

Please tell me there’s not some context to this that I don’t know about…

Kings Island Prestige Pass
As someone who has had to climb those stairs many times, trust me, you do not want to have the VIP lounge up there, it’s exhausting, especially if you’re carrying anything lol.

What is the Haunt music at KI
If you’re looking for any of those metal songs I know a few of them. I can probably find more at some point. Within the Ruins - Shape Shifter (Instrumental) Within the Ruins - Beautiful Agony (Instrumental) Mick Gordon - Rip & Tear Wide Eyes - The First Contact

Haunt - Tricks & Treats Reviews 2023
Might as well change the thread title to “arguing about the prestige pass again” at this point. I’m sick of every single thread turning into this.

Grand Carnivale no more in 2024?
