Kings Island Prestige Pass
CP guest services last Saturday stated to me that CP P pass benefits are not available to other park P+ pass holders. No surprise there. I wonder how many P passes have sold. I have an all-park session FL+, but have yet to see anyone in a FL queue with a single ride FL+ ticket. CP's Millennium Lounge was as empty as usual last week. Personally, I'd rather queue 20 minutes and ride MF, than relax in the nearby lounge.

Neither my friend's nor my KI P+ passes worked for CP's Millennium Lounge today.

2023 Offseason Speculation/Work
I'd like to see continued repairs and upgrades to existing facilities and attractions. My top two for 2023 are: (i) parking lot and entrance upgrades, and (ii) Diamondback train upgrades.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
Based on this thread and calls to CF parks, my educated guess is that each KI Prestige+ (P+) benefit will be available to KI P+ pass holders at other CF parks that also offer that benefit. For example, if KI has P+ preferred parking and CP has P+ preferred parking, then a KI P+ visitor will receive P+ preferred parking at CP. If CF parks introduce additional P+ benefits, they will be available to all P+ pass holders. Or maybe this is just a fantastic notion or vain hope of mine?

Last I saw there are still Dinosaurs Alive! Pokemon Go PokeStops in that defunct area of KI. Good luck spinning them thought.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
My Prestige+ pass worked at CW yesterday. It looking the parking attendant a few scans of my pass (5 or more) to register, but it worked.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
If the Prestige+ benefits apply only to your home park (KI for me), I'll revert to a Platinum pass in 2024. $160 more (for 2023) for a Prestige+ pass isn't worth it for VIP access and preferred parking if both have limited availability due to demand.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
I wonder if the FOTL passes are transferable? As the passes are the same as a singe-use FL+, they are of no value if you have a season FL+.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
I can confirm upgraded Prestige+ passes get entry into CP. I cannot comment on VIP lounge, because it was closed the two times I walked past it. I didn't ask about Front of Line passes.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
I upgraded my Platinum to a Prestige+. I read that I'm entitled to one bring a friend pass this year and then two next year.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
I upgraded by 2022 Platinum pass and my daughter's 2022 Gold pass to 2023 Prestige+ today. We are going to CP tomorrow. We will see what KI Prestige+ benefits work at CP. At the very least, I hope my daughter's upgraded pass gives her entrance to CP.

So the single use Front of the Line pass looks to actually be a single use FL+.

Restaurant Chains you wouldn’t mind seeing at KI
I rarely eat at chain restaurants when visiting CF parks. But, I do agree that either a Penn Station (or DiBella's) would be preferably over Subway. Not disliking Subway, I eat there frequently when I travel. How about a Japanese noodle bar? My daughter and I would surely be there every KI visit.

Kings Island Prestige Pass
Question. If I upgrade my daughter's 2022 KI Gold Pass today to a 2023 Prestige+ Pass, does it cover her entrance to Cedar Point this Saturday?

Blog: 30-day notice: Daily operation ends Aug. 21
For me, September weekends at KI are magical. The days are warm and the evenings tepid. The cool air in your face makes a night ride on The Beast just that more exhilarating. At closing time, your walk home in the dusk along the little Europe of International Street and past the synchronized displays of the Royal Fountains reminds you that KI is not just a destination for thill seekers, but more about the cumulation of individual experiences you enjoy during your day at the park.

Halloween Haunt 2022
Goodnews, Halloween Haunt makes an already awesome KI even better. Hopefully, KI security and local law enforcement can control thugs who choose to misbehave.

Worried about fitting on rides.....
FoF is definitely roomier in even rows. In odd-row seats, it can be difficult to position your feet under the restraint mechanism and lower your legs under the restraint lap bar. If you have anything in your pockets, good luck, but that's what lockers are for.

Worried about fitting on rides.....
Hello CoasterGirl. Many of the rides have 'test' seats at their queue entrances. Ride attendants can assist you at those entrances. In my observation, there is no rhyme or reason why people can and cannot fit certain rides. Perhaps, try starting with Diamondback - if you can ride her (and she is awesome), you should be able to ride Banshee and Orion. Then perhaps move on and try some wooden coasters. In my opinion, avoid Flight of Fear - the ride has long queues, small train seats, and is overhyped.

Diamondback 20 millionth rider
Overall, I prefer Orion over DB because it has more elements and less rattle. However, a back-row seat first drop on DB is hard to beat. I rode MF today for first time in nine months. For a 22-year old coaster, it is as good as Orion, maybe better.

Banshee Rattle
Of my five rides on Banshee this season, one had significant vibration. I don't recall the color of train, but I was seated in the last row.

I've season FL+. If it helps, I'd be happy to compare measured against your predicted FL(+) queue times.

6’ 3” 295 pound man. What can’t I ride?
I find there is very little foot and leg room in the odd numbered rows of Flight of Fear. The even number rows offer much more space and a more comfortable ride experience.

Fathers Day Crowds
For future reference, Father's Day 2022 was relatively quiet at KI. Late afternoon, many rides were a walk on.

Halloween Haunt at KI is much fun.
