Controversial opinions that'll get you punched by a KI fan
Parks would have been open a lot more last year and this year if they had.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
In other park news, Dollywood has moved to masks only while indoors and no more temp checks, effective today.

No indications yet that reservations will be required. Capacity wasn't an issue last year. I doubt they hit capacity more than once or twice, if that.

I think it's almost a given KI will sell daily FL soon.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Man, parks have been slammed this spring. It's great to see business booming. I think it's going to be a big year with lots of busy days at parks across the country.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Everywhere here has them. Kroger, Walgreens, Publix, walmart. The shot is free no matter where you go. Sounds like you should just take care of yourself and sign up somewhere else.

Probably just needed some weight and that's an easiest way to load the train? I'd be really surprised if they aren't using all the seats this year.

Upgrade price is the price of Platinum minus price of your current pass. Platinum passholders do get a discount. Use code PASS to see these. Plat also gets in earlier at CP.- Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
On the 29th, it's anyone over 16. Mississippi starts letting anyone over 16 tomorrow.- Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Over 21% now vaccinated. Summer and fall are going to be busy, busy, busy at every park in the country.- Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Nope. That was pretty much a Cedar Fair exclusive.- Park Shows 2021
Super easy way to save some money and blame it on covid. Wouldn't blame the park. People will be there regardless. (Speaking about the theater and having a permanent show in there this year.) Probably more street performances, small band stages, etc.- Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Pretty much every park but Cedar Fair loads full trains now.- New Kings Island history book
Sounds good. https://www.rivershorecreative.com/kingsisland This is KIghostguy's book, right? Hadn't seen anyone mention it actually being on sale now with a release date. Good stuff.- What's the best option?
$50 right now gets you entry, food and parking. Same type of deals will be in play all season. Same for KI. Days tickets are $40 right now. $75+tax and service fees is probably real close to the price to change your gold to platinum. Opens more options for you this summer. Pull out a spreadsheet. Plug some numbers in. See what works best. There's a lot of ways to do this and there are probably still more ticket offers to come. (groupon, etc.) In reality, you'll probably get cheap tix for him at KI. Another way to save money: Parking at Cedar Point good for 24 hours. You can skip paying the second day if you arrive a few minutes earlier than you did the day before.- Kings Island Web Cams 2021

- how do you guys spend your pre season?
Went to Orlando and Tampa in Dec. Flew to Dallas for SFOT 2 weeks ago. Last week we flew down for SFFT and SWSA. Both great parks. SFOG is driving distance and opens March 8. Dollywood the next weekend. Not much longer here.- Passholder days May 8 and 9
- Platinum Fast Pass Question
My trips were at opening and the first couple months. I know what you're saying, though. MForce had a tough late season, and Maverick was on the fritz a lot. When Top Thrill opened until early Sept, CP hit their stride and was great with FL+. At no point would I have recommended CP without FL+ unless you really understood what you were getting into. (I got a rollback while lapping Top Thrill this summer.)- Platinum Fast Pass Question
Some different opinions in here for sure. I made 2 additional trips to CP this year because FL+ was so darn good this year. I never saw anyone in the FP lines. It's 8 hours one way and when I was able to find more FL+ passes, I didn't hesitate to buy them and head back. Rare you can lap Steel Vengeance over and over and never have someone in line ahead of you. Same for Mav and Top Thrill. Loved it. I know at least one other person that did the same thing.- Platinum Fast Pass Question
Nope, still for sale on several of their sites (including CW). It's under 2021 Season Passes in the ticket window pop up. - What's the best option?
