KI lets slip plans for 2019 exist on IG today?
I think you are giving the GP community too much credit. I doubt they would even know. The enthusiasts would probably be split but get over it. The firefight over it would be crazy to watch though.

Handicapped parking
See map. Not sure if Soak City side does. Bear in mind, it is first come first serve. I have never seen them enforcing it either.

You got it. When you smell the barnyard, you are close.

Kings Island closes early (7/10/18) due to “suspicious item” found
Just check around Mystic, Banshee, Firehawk / Flight of Fear for those things that people will not buy a locker for. LOL

Favorite coaster in Ohio
Diamondback. I have not been to CP since 2015 so none of the newer ones are on my list yet, but Maverick was a good ride. I will ride them all, but Diamondback gets the most rerides from us.

Mystic Timbers employees rude
Too many people complain about the souvenir cups (not being able to get them on rides, storing them, getting stolen, etc), so it is possible that the ride operator wanted the person to personally dispose of it, lest it come back that the ride operator threw it away. On Saturday, I saw 2 of them sitting on the dirt at the front of Mystic. Evil thoughts ran through my mind, but I figured that it was someone elses issue if they got stolen or pitched. Gotta love the cup replacement!

Patron injured on Twisted Timbers from flying cell phone
I line for Diamondback Saturday and the train stopped on the lift hill. A supervisor went out to the stopped train around row 10 and came back in a bit. I figured it was for a cell phone out. I asked once I was boarded and she told me that the moron had lit a cigarette on the way up. Needless to say, I was more that a little blown away

Guests Say The Darnest Things
In line for Firehawk, one person in the group was saying that they need to repaint it. I mentioned that I would be happy if the camera were put back up. He said "they wont do that, they are going to get rid of it". I asked him how he knew this and he said some of the operators told him this. I did not even bother to ask him why repaint it if they are going to get rid of it.

Trip to Silver Dollar City
Other than the Lumberjack Pizza, I thought the food at Dollywood was very good. I need to take a trip to Branson sometime then.

Is The Vortex scarier than The Banshee?
Welcome to KIC! I guess it depends on what scares you. At KI, none of them scare me as I have ridden them multiple times. I enjoy Banshee more but will ride both of them.

Disappointed by ride advertisement?
As rough as it has been this year, at the end of the ride, I did "pay". LOL

Has anyone been the only one on a certain ride before
The last one I recall was a Zen, Last Ride of the Night, Fireworks ride on Vortex this year.

Walking/ Exercise route
Not sure about Soak City, but here is a thread that @whengodsaysgo started. I got around 1.1 miles inside the park. https://KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33494-kimiles-with-whengodsaysgo/&tab=comments#comment-790460

Guests Say The Darnest Things
My son and I are on The Bat, sitting front row. The family behind us had the matriarch as a know it all. All through the ride, he is narrating the course, starting with him being really scared on the way up the "enormous" lift hill. I paid it no heed, as I was laughing the whole time about it. On the way out, he was telling them it used to be called Top Gun, but they had to change the name as a sequel was in the works. Biting my tongue, we followed behind. They then decided they wanted to ride again. At this point, I thought I would be the nice guy and tell them how to take the 1st left after they got off. I was ignored. I also mentioned the 2nd place. Ignored again. They walked all of the way out by Blackout and then back down. I just shook my head and went on.
