Kings Island Inn & Conference Center closing soon?
Not sure what's up. I did notice, however, that they haven't posted anything to Twitter or Facebook in a LONG while. How old is the resort? I was browsing through photos on their website and it seems they may want to modernize their look a bit.

Odd Issue With Vortex
From a Suspended Coaster to an Arrow Looper to a Stand-Up? And then if they used the same station that'd be three different coasters that have all used the same station at some point in time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first...and Scary Haunt
I know that the park is generally a very safe place. However, I'm way more anxiety-ridden than other people when it comes to these types of things (I really wish I wasn't). My mind couldn't help but jump to the worst possible conclusions of what could happen. I loved getting scared in the haunted houses and such, but when I saw the guy being pinned to the ground I freaked; even though the park obviously took care of it just fine. Both had black shirts. The ones running back towards X-Base were a combination of both white and black shirts. No, I have a 12:00am curfew; Flight of Fear was our last ride. I've only had a Gold Pass to Kings Island for four years, so I never had the opportunity to go to FearFest. I'm curious, what specifically is better about Halloween Haunt? Agreed. Though in my anxiousness I couldn't help but wonder. That's cool! They've actual used FUNtv for that purpose before?

My first...and Scary Haunt
I attended opening night tonight. I'm making this brief for now...but at around 11:25, me and my friends were walking out from Flight of Fear and saw two security guards pinning a man in a green shirt to the ground and yelling at him to do things like "put your hands where we can see them" and such. (right in front of the concession stand in X-Base) It really didn't look like the man was complying, hence the yelling of the guards. As we made a brisk walk out of X-Base, we saw maybe 7 more security guards jogging towards X-Base (which naturally increased our fear and the speed of our walk to the front gate). We were out of the park by 11:35, after stopping at Skyline on International Street for water. I know security issues like this arise at parks sometimes, but I couldn't help but worry in the moment that maybe the guy had a weapon or something. This made me question a few things: About how many guards to they have on duty every Halloween Haunt? If there is an issue where they can't contain someone with a weapon and he frees himself, how would the park notify other guests about the incident and/or evacuation? Why do people run after security guards when the guards are running somewhere? (why do people run TOWARDS potential danger? as there were kids questioning if there was a fight or something) Statistically, are there more "incidents" at Halloween Haunt than during summer operation? Is this the "upping the scare factor" that they talked about in 2008?

Rides you would add
Add ALL of those and make ALL of them break world records and have ALL of them heavily themed? Phew, now that's a park. Realistic? No. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Walt Disney World Resort announces "Frozen" ride for EPCOT
I am one of those who think that World Showcase should strictly be World Showcase. Not movies. One of the things I love about Disney World is that they're so many "world destinations" all within the resort. There are all sorts of themed hotels unique to their area or era of the world that they're representing (I.g. Port Orleans - New Orleans, Fort Wilderness - Camping, Polynesian Village - Hawaii). Same should be to World Showcase. Strictly themes to that world. Not Disney movies. There's enough Disney movies throughout the rest of the parks.

Current wait times
For those of you who are here today at P&G's dividend day, Diamondback is about 20 minutes. I asked Guest Services if the All Season Dining Plan worked today. They informed me that during all private events it will not work because the pass has to be scanned at the beginning of the day in order to be activated. (as expected) However I was able to scan my gold pass at the entrance of Dinosaurs Alive and avoided the up-charge. I feel like I'm one of the few people here at the park today who's a regular visitor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Renew your Gold Season Pass for the lowest price of the season!
Just curious, did anyone renew their pass on pride night? I heard they chopped the price by $20. If so, did you still get the two benefits of renewing online at the full $90? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Different owner of Kings Island
I'm incredibly grateful Cedar Fair bought Paramount Parks, because I never would've wanted a 'Six Flags Kings Island" with comic themeing like Batman and such. I know this is a bit off-topic; but is Cedar Fair's safety record better than Six Flags? (However, I do believe that Six Flags has quite a few more properties)

Interesting Disney story:
Paramount wanted to take out the train? Did Paramount have any respect to classic rides? Or was their ultimate goal to replace every classic ride with Hollywood and concrete? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Season Long Dining Plan
I also remember that. It was when I was much younger though so I imagine it might have been during Paramount's reign. I think they were maybe 12 oz. Coke cups(?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Season Long Dining Plan
^ that. [emoji13] thanks for clarifying it for me. I'm not sure if the park employs people to work in the chain restaurants, or the chains send people to work at Kings Island. Although I do know that Graeter's on International Street did NOT accept my Graeter's gift card, so that makes me think Kings Island runs the chains. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
