So my experience for Dinos at Dark was an awesome experience. the main reason for going was to obtain a t-shirt for myself and my girlfriend. The weather was awesome at night time. We got in line at 9:15 and they started to build the barricades, around us. The line started to move at 9:45 as they said it would and stopped around 10:30 due to fireworks cleanup, then the line moved smooth. Great view to watch the evenings fireworks show. Had a great couple in front of us and behind us who had 8 excited kids about getting a tshirt.Was able to watch a small viewing of Jurrasic Park and on to the Dinos! Our tour guide was great, I understood that lots of people were in line and felt rushed through the Dinos event, maybe next time when its a little less crowded. the highlight was the s'mores at the end of the trail. It was in a traditional sense a s'more, made with graham crackers, marshmellow fluff and a chocolate spread but still good and gooey. My girlfriend a little miffed about no Reeces s'mores available, lol. The kids in our group enjoyed the experience and I did too, for $3 it was worth it.

Here is what I found out for tonight...Temporary movie screens are being set up for the movie tonight just like Dive In movies and flashlights are going to be provided and returned when you leave the attraction. S'mores and drinks (water,juice,coffee) are going to be provided during the exhibit and first 1,000 participants get a free tshirt and cost is $3.00 for season passholders and $6.00 for non pass holders for the event tonight, tickets for tonight can only be purchased here at the park now. Other dates you can purchase online on the website.

Here is another new Pet Peeve from last night, Sitting down watching the fireworks show, and people and trying to walk thru the crowds while we were all sitting watching the fireworks show. Here's a hint, maybe walk behind the crowds so not to disburb the view. Even a KI security guard did this halfway thru the show, sigh.

Update - Fast Lane signs are removed. Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk

You know what grinds my gears, is people who walk in the middle of the road in a parking lot and you are driving behind them, you really just wanna honk your horn, but politely drive slower so you don't run over the people.

Is the Fast Lane queue open? Is it signed Fast Lane Plus? I did not notice if the Fast Lane queue was open. I did not notice if a sign was posted at the entrance. Sorry ,bad reporting, I know

FOF is no longer a Fast Lane ride. Maybe interest in the ride has started to wear off since the seperate incidents in June. Yes FOF is open today! Enjoy while you can!

I agree .. I am always with my kids in line and usually say something to the person about being respectful and that I can contact security and you can deal with them, I don't appriciate bad language.

"like this" if you want to see 4 live view cameras positioned on the corners of the Eiffel Tower.

My biggest pet peeve is Google reporting park hours incorrectly all the time, guests think that the park is open 12:00pm-1:00am everyday during the summer. Just type Kings Island into a Google search engine and your results for today 7/3/2014 : Hours: Monday Closed Tuesday Closed Wednesday Closed Thursday Closed Friday Closed Saturday 12:00 – 1:00 am Sunday 12:00 – 1:00 am, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm

Here is the website address: www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/events-and-promotions ; or just sign up for the email newsletter, its always chock full of goodness.

I hope they clean the noodle ends before returning it back, on the Eiffel Tower yesterday and saw some undesirable trash in the noodle holes. Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk

bring back the parking trams and a lot of people would be happy

But what about The Big Noodle?? Did you enjoy your picture with The Big Noodle?Just curious?

I do know if you dishwasher your cups at KI, last year they could bring in the mangled cup and exchange the cup for a new one but still pay for the 99 cent refills.

Prices start at $13 - $23 depends on weekday or weekend. Locker sizes are 6x12 to 18x12. Hope this helps Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk

Last season you could use any CF cup to refill at KI, and enjoy those .99 refills all season long.

My son was asking this on Wednesday why the water from the final hill was removed , and why the fire flare did not go off ?

I was hoping Don could arrange a showing of The Mighty Ducks or Miracle instead of Frozen
