The grilled chicken they had at KD's Grain and Grill last year was very good. I would not mind that at all!

I am hoping this is temporary, and an opening weekend thing, but you may be right. It could be another cost cutting measure.

I enjoyed the pork and the new beef at Grain and Grill. Both were very good. I prefer the Alfredo pasta over the parks mac n cheese. So I am very happy to have that at Grain and Grill. I might be eating a lot of my meals there this season.

I have updated our Monster page. The top photo was taken Friday and the one at the bottom of the page is from a few years ago. You can see the difference in lighting. https://kicentral.com/rides/monster/

There are two Tony's now. The Tony Carovillan the Park Manager and Communications director Tony Clark. I assume you are talking about the park manager since Tony C. went back to CP on Friday.

I actually liked it. Sometimes the soy beef was very dry and this had a good taste and was very tender. The pork was very good today too.

They were not doing that when I rode earlier in the day.

Yes, red lights on the arms and then under the seats the traditional green and yellow lights. It is very bright.

They were fine for one season, but after that got stale quick.

You work at the park now?

Let's use this thread to discuss. Food plans, meal options and perk treats.

Let's continue discussion on the reviews thread. /

It's looking good. It is not certified yet though. It might be later today.

They funneled the line through the peanuts meet and greet area.

I just got off a little bit ago and I must say the attention to detail was a very good . The interactive flashlights (which I was unsure how that would work) turned out very fun and kids are going to absolutely love it. All in all, I think they now have a new hit at Kings Island that will create family memories for generations to come.

Will we use this thread to post our thoughts and reviews of the new Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare.

Son of Beast begs to differ. You could hear the train going up the lift back at Vortex.

Don't put the cart in front of the carousel horse yet... 🤣 There are still a few days to get them out there.

The Brad Ross Show comes to Kings Island in 2026 from May 30 - June 21 at The Kings Island Theater. This will be one unforgettable summer of magic. Kings island's not the only Park in the chain . The Brad Ross show while also debut at Six Flags Over Texas -from July 4 - August 9 at the Southern Palace Theatre! "We’re so excited to bring our live stage spectacular,, to these incredible venues and to the amazing fans who make each of these parks so special." What do you think of the show run at Kings Island?

I loved Chaos. I could go for that!

I have tried a few times to have a KIC event at the park. When the price comes back, I just couldn't justify charging KIC members the amount it would take just to break even for the event. Plus, getting the minimum people to pay for the event I did not think was achievable with the cost. That was just just for 1 ride with ERT and 1 meal for the day and no guarantee the guest speak would be there. It's just not practical any more. I understand ACEs frustration.

Never counted it as a coaster in the first place. What about you?

You would think a company that is struggling with debt would be be using every lifeline that they could imagine to bring in more customers.

Now if they could only add tent sites (somewhere) that are not more expensive that the Quality Inn rooms across the street.
