Incident at Kings Island 5/22/21
KI has always been the area's biggest babysitter. I can't tell you how many times parents dropped their kids off at the gate and turned around and left. I think the time has come to require chaperones. To be truthful, what I saw from this incident made me sick to my stomach. Not just here, but everywhere. Times are different now, unfortunately

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
My fear is these restrictions will be permanent. I went to Tennessee 3 weeks ago. They have no mandate, no one was wearing them, their governor did not have a daily talk show spreading fear. I felt free. That being said, I am not dismissing the severity of this. I have been in deep thought for the last few years, especially this past year. I had a family member in my car January 2020 who I thought was going to die in my back seat before we got to the hospital. Since he didn't have insurance, he was sent home, and it was labeled a "virus". I did not wear a mask that day and had no problems. I know 3 people personally who have died from it. As long as masks are required, I dont plan to go anywhere. I can't tolerate them due to breathing issues, and I'm personally tired of being chastised. I'm really glad I got to experience the world before all this. Being on house arrest is it's own special hell. And that is all I will say about this....

Kings Island Raises Pay for Seasonal Associates
Our whole system is unsustainable. They might raise the wage, but I guarantee hours will be cut and it will not benefit anyone. Greed is the reason the lower tier has no money. Honestly, how much money does one at the top really need?

Former Employee Stories
Security 2007-2011. My best memory is the Knievel jump. I was at the main entrance, and as soon as Knievel hit the ground most of the 70,000 folks rushed the gates. After strongly encouraging the sup to let the folks in without worrying about the detectors, things went smooth. Out of all the times I worked that was the best 14 hour shift I've ever had. Physically, I can no longer stand for hours on end, but if I was able I would apply again in a heartbeat. I miss the folks I worked with, especially Ed Frey. Best sup and friend I've had in my years of working.

Kings Island Announces Kings Mills Antique Autos for 2019!
This should have never been removed. I partially learned to drive on these things. It's a cherished memory for me as it's something me and my dad did together. I lost him last year, and I'm really glad it's coming back

Lion Country Safari Mauling: An Untold Story
Toilet needs.....what a way to go. But sounds like he kinda brought it on himself. I was always worried going back there the monorail would become stuck and we would be forced to exit. Uh uh.

WCPO: Woman asked to upgrade son's Jr Season Pass mid season
Well, there are these awesome stores that you can get cash for your clothes. The example doesn't really hold water though. Many dresses are returned after dances. Many televisions are returned after the Super Bowl, etc. You can even return a pizza to Marion's if you are not satisfied with a pizza, as long as a certain percentage of the pizza is not eaten. I can't imagine returning a Marion's pizza, its the best )

WCPO: Woman asked to upgrade son's Jr Season Pass mid season
I would be more apt to spend in the park if it was reasonable. Its just a ripoff at this point. Same reason I don't eat popcorn at the movies.

WCPO: Woman asked to upgrade son's Jr Season Pass mid season
I think the whole thing is just awful. This late in the season is plain price gouging to me. You're going to punish the kid for growing? That's not right. KI has been doing a lot of things lately that are making me reconsider a season pass next year. Fast Lane on Diamondback-I have been on DB only once this year due to the horrible capacity and I've only been to the park 3 times this season. And the Banshee lockers? I got on with my fanny pack for my first ride ever and it didn't affect my restraints any more than the seat belts on DB. I think it's just a money grab which totally irks me. And now this. I'm with some others on here, they have priced me right out of visiting and I can do other things than get aggravated on my day off from work.

Your Banshee Experience
I've only been on it once, but I loved it. Giggled like a fool.

Personal Space in Line
Had the issue several times. It's either a couple making out or rowdy kids. Irritating to say the least.

Fast Lane Question
See, that's the point I was trying to make. I have no problem with Fast Lane, its the ratio I have a problem with.

Fast Lane Question
My opinion-Fast Lane has destroyed the park experience for the person who hasn't purchased it. I agree with the other posters who state the same Fast Lane holders ride repeatedly while the rest of us wait til eternity for one ride. It's not right. I go to the park to have a good time, and this ends up getting me aggravated. To the point, I don't have a pass this year. That's pretty bad. But that's how I feel about it.

I find this whole thing extremely upsetting. I hate to see the fighting, and especially feel bad for Pat.

Ask Mr. Ouimet
Why that horrid fast pass system was implemented. It has ruined the capacity of the rides, especially Diamondback.

the Bat original POV
I forgot how jerky that ride was-regardless, it was fun the two times I did get to ride it.

Do you wear a fanny pack to parks
I wear a belt pack-learned that trick in San Fran. And...I'm in the age group where I don't care if it's cool or not. I don't leave it in the bins to get stolen or in the overpriced lockers for the same reason. All I bring is my wallet and iphone. So far, I have not had a single theft or loss...

Baby born in Firehawk's line?
So you'll never believe it? No, I highly doubt a woman with child would get in line for a roller coaster... A few years ago, I did see a pregnant woman try to ride flight deck. I was shocked someone could be so ignorant.
