Closure of Dinosaurs Alive and opening of lots of land.
Dippin Dots guy said it was gonna be the worlds tallest, fastest, longest, most inverted, with a 2 minute hang time and with the worlds longest break run of one mile , giga coaster ever built by B&M called The ‘Velociraptor’ for the sympathy of Dinosaurs Alive going extinct and walk thru metal detectors so you have to put your stuff in lockers for $5 every 30 minutes with a minimum 2 hour wait time for the 2 trains that run on the 10 miles of track. , but I think he was lying.

What could 2018 bring KI
With Attitudes and Coney Potato Works closed , looks like a capital improvement will happen in Coney Mall area next year. Some are guessing a Smokehouse like Soak City , others are saying antique car ride. Dino Alive not returning for 2018 is also a good spot for some area to clear and build a coaster or some flat rides or antique car ride also in an area extension off Coney Mall just like X base has done for the past 10 years. Planet Snoopy might follow the lead of some of the other parks and called Camp Snoopy for 2018. Lots of great things to discuss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kings Island and ACE
As a member of ACE for the past several years, I enjoy events that are scheduled locally and enjoy the magazines and newsletters reading about other amusement parks around the world. It's a great club to belong to with the great perks of having Kings Island in my backyard. ACE and KI have always enjoyed a great relationship with its members and will continue in the future years to come. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

a few more gold pass questions
To answer your question about the parking. Your one free visit in 2017 does include one free parking usage. You will be required to pay for parking on any additional visits in 2017 since your season pass benefits start in 2018. The passes, once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email to print the voucher or they can scan from your smartphone device, you will need to be processed in season pass processing during park operations for your 1 free visit. It opens 1 hour prior to park opening. Any child ages 3 and older require an admission ticket. So if she meets the over 3 criteria it's best to order all at the same time. One word of advice is that the day you complete the transaction is the day your payment plan starts. So if you want the 1st of the month start on 9/1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haunt 2017
Hot Blooded, Monster Rock & Blood Drums should be back this year for shows. I saw the tombstones for Nightmare Alley & Sorority House and also at Coasterstock Lance said 3 new additions were coming this year, hoping more rooms like The Viewing like last year.

July 23rd bring a friend day.
Just FYI that is KI Fire & Safety weekend. It is a good event. It offers one free admission ticket to First Responders and discount tickets to their families. Not a traditional busy event. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

King's Island on the 4th of July
Last year, it was overcast skies and rain. Temps were high 60's & mid 70's. It was a great day to ride on coasters in the rain. I don't think there was more than 10-15K people in the park, and a 10-15 minute wait for rides. Rides went down due to weather for sometimes but it was still a fun time. So weather plays a huge factor in the attendance in the park. Check weather.com for mason zip code 45040 for weather details to help plan your day.

What rides should I take my glasses off for?
I will say I work for the park and I also work at Luxottica and I take all the unclaimed sunglasses and prescription glasses from lost & found and they are donated to Onesight for recycling which they provide free glasses to underprivileged countries so they can see the world clearly. The rides of which glasses are lost most is Banshee & Firehawk. Those inversions will make them fall. So buy the strap for the glasses or store them in your cargo shorts in a case to keep the frame from bending. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More Restaurants Open?
The biggest complaint I have seen is about food and drink lines. They maybe short staffed in the food department. It has been a real struggle to have the department fully staffed running smooth. Hopefully by Mid June they will be able to get the ball rolling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Height requirement changes?
The park will periodically reevaluate rides for safety. Linus Beetle Bugs was re-evaluated and they determined for the safety of the guests that a 36" height requirement for the ride. I am sure glad they do this for the safety of my little friends in the park and peace of mind for parents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
