2016 announcement?
Local media has picked it up, with some speculation: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2015/08/18/kings-island-announcement/31948395/ Kings Island's Twitter retweeted this story. This one is funny because apparently KI announced nothing new for 2015: http://www.wlwt.com/news/kings-island-to-announce-new-attraction-for-2016-season/34788480

Kings Island Food Prices?
The drink wristbands are part of a special daily pass the park offers throughout the season. They don't appear to be offering them at the moment.

Down Home Country ends this Sunday

"Rok-N-Rol" ride flings teenager out of ride
I never used a redundant seatbelt on a coaster until I ventured outside of Lagoon. Their coasters only use one restraint, and only one has seatbelts. That's the Jet Star 2, and that's its only restraint. I thought Lagoon's way of going about it was the standard operation for far too long. And you might say the seatbelt on the Jet Star is redundant too. See Zambezi Zinger at Worlds of Fun.

"Rok-N-Rol" ride flings teenager out of ride
One does wonder how certain coasters have operated for 40 years with just seatbelts then. And some of them used to operate with nothing at all.

blackout maze!
All you can Scream Plan. For a one-time fee each Haunt season, they'll have someone go into the Haunts for you and scream their brains out in your stead. This way you can experience Haunt while enjoying all of the rides and attractions Kings Island has to offer!
