What would you change about the All Season Dining Plan for next year?
^^^ This needs to happen chain-wide...

New for 2016 at Canada's Wonderland: SkyHawk and Flying Eagles
Lol, calling their Shockwave issue prone is an understatement...

But it's only as intense as you want it to be... If you only want to invert it once or twice (or not at all) that's up to each rider...

Kings Dominion ride removal / 2016 coaster addition?
Any particular reason to go with one over the others???

I could be wrong, but I think it's from Gerstlauer. There is one at Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America. Similar, but different... The one at Mall of America is a Sky Fly, where everyone is on the same end of the single arm... This is a Sky Roller, multiple arms spaced out evenly... There's one at Bakken in Denmark the 2nd one is at Belantis in Germany...

Looking forward to both...

2016 announcement?
Last year, CW got that, but without the "[something] to take it's place'" part... Hey, we're taking out a ride, but someday, who knows when, we'll build something in it's place... In the meantime, here's a nice patch of grass to look at... Oh well, more of my money for CP and KI...

You'll still have to spend $10 a day putting the darn thing in lockers...

While I had limited experience with the KI dining plan this year, it was an altogether pleasant one in terms of selection and quality...

August 7 is Rides Night for Gold passholders
Sounds like a great time... Maybe I'll try to schedule my next visit around one of these Or maybe the park nearest me will and start doing stuff like this...

Mean But Funny (I hope this isn't any of you!)
I'm not gonna lie, if a friend of mine asked me to participate in doing a ride photo like that, I'd be all over it... I enjoy good ride photos and appreciate any attempt to go beyond the standards poses... What these guys did was way better than my 'pretend to be asleep'... I'd upload the photo, but we don't take imgur and I can't pass the spam detection protocols on TinyPic

Rank Kings Islands roller coasters from best to worst
Flight of Fear... The Beast... Banshee... Diamondback... The Bat... Adventure Express... Firehawk... Backlot Stunt Coaster... Invertigo... Vortex... Flying Ace Aerial Chase... The Racer... Woodstock Express... Never ridden the Great Pumpkin Coaster... And say what you will, I don't count Surf Dog... What I like about KI is that I find the rides so hard to rank... Other parks, there are some rides that I get off of and say 'That was crap', but I didn't feel that way about anything at KI... Even the line between 'good' and 'meh' doesn't occur until the bottom of the list for me...

2016 announcement?
But if it's a ride you aren't allowed to take a selfie on it

Witnessed something eerie
19 out of 20 times I attend theme parks alone... The park closest to me pairs up people on the busier coasters, and I've never thought about saying that I won't, but they've never done it on any of the rides where you're smushed pretty close to someone... Is there a reasonable cutoff for me to say 'no'??? I wouldn't let anyone share a bumper car with me, but I don't think I can get away with saying no one can be in my row on a Top Scan or a Splash Over... The only bad experience I've had was where I was paired with an overly talkative young girl (10-12ish maybe??? I'm really bad at guessing ages)... While I enjoyed the talking on the ride, she wished to continue the conversation after the ride, and I was worried about the optics of a girl that age being talked to by an unfamiliar male my age... How crappy is the world where I can't have conversation about theme park rides with a person trying to be friendly because I'm worried about how it might look???

Diamonback Crew 7/1
^^^ Wouldn't be much of a contest... Behemoth routinely sends out trains with a number of empty seats... They only let so many people on the platform, and with the amount of people lining up for the front and back, seats in the middle of the train don't always have riders... Also, since 2012 when Leviathan opened, Behemoth crews put no effort into matching up single riders and most single riders have empty seats beside them...

All Season Photo Pass
They're charging what $15-$20 for a single photo??? So that puts it around the price of 3-4 photos...

Roller Coaster Guilty Pleasures
Wait, so other versions aren't as bad as that one to Mind Eraser's northwest??? I've been skipping them from my dislike of that one... And nothing is worse than the one that stands beside it...

Souvenir cup questions
This does directly affect my choice to purchase a souvenir cup... A park with 4-5 rides where I'm going to have to pay for a locker??? No thanks, I'd spend more on lockers than I'd save on the drinks...

Immersive Dark Ride Planned For Kings Island?
For your sake, I hope it's nothing like WMG...
