I remember being in line for Flight of Fear with my friends one day during the summer. The ride was down, but we were set on waiting in line til it opened back up cause we were close to the front. There was a large group of kids being super loud and complaining about the fact the ride was down. No biggie there, I get it, its annoying. But then one of the kids (a black kid) jumped over the railing and start hopping around on the set equipment by the UFO entryway and the screens and stuff. Then he kept hopping up on the stairs riling and sitting on the rail in the ufo, cutting in line basically, and asking this group of girls how they felt about him being black. He repeatedly kept saying "oh its cause im black right?" or "tell me how you really feel about me, a black person". I think he was trying to be funny, but all he did was **** off a lot of people in line, including this group of girls. Eventually ride kicked on and he got to go, but we had to listen to him and watch do stupid **** for like an hour and a half. 

 

This is more of a people do the darndest things but i guess it applies. Me and a guy i was at KI with were riding the zephyr ride, and this group of guys, college aged mind you, kept swinging their seats and kicking off of ours. We didn't wanna make a fuss during the ride, but as soon as we got off the guy turned to them and they made a remark of sorts, saying they were just trying to swing. and the guy i came with said they could go to a kiddie playground and swing if they wanted to act 5, when we were right next to the sign that said NOT TO TOUCH OTHER SWING SEATS. luckily didnt kill the mood though and me and the guy still had a blast. oddly enough later on in the day i saw the group of boys being escorted out by security from The Beast line. not sure what they did then, but i considered it kharma lol

I already mentioned my experiences on the other thread, but there were these two teens joking about "having a gay old time" in the Hanna-Barbera section.

On the second lift hill of Beast, guy behind us says, "this is the most uncomfortable coaster I've ever been on."

@electricsunand I looked at each other. I said they have never been to a non CF park. 

Waiting in line to get a drink. Some teenagers behind me were talking about the Platinum Pass.

They got rid of the Platinum pass and now it's just the F'ing prestige pass which gets you into every Park including six flags parks. It also get you a drink plan and a meal plan that cost $1,100. 

 

In a separate conversation.

Walking down the path of Rivertown a mom points up at Diamondback and says this is nothing compared to Orion.

On the brake run for Beast, person in front of me pointed at Racer and told his friend that it was moved to KI from Coney. I couldn't help but laugh.

I don’t know if it has been said before, but, there have been kids ( including myself when I was one) who called the Blue engine #12 Kenny Van Meter “Thomas.” 

Rando guy looking at old Crypt/Tomb Raider building points and says

"Hey! I remember when that used to be The Phantom Theater!"

My reaction: 

Some girl when I went in 2004 definitely had a crush on the alien leader from FoF. "His voice is hot..." Bonus points for me sitting next to her on the ride. Her name was Lacey. Never saw her again after that trip.

Waiting in line for Mystic Timbers:

Random guest to me "I hear a rumor that they are taking Son of Beasts old wooden loop and putting it in the middle of Mystic Timbers."

My reaction:

These things that guests say...

The best part "wooden loop".

Might want to let them know SOB's loop is taller than Mystic Timbers.

During one visit, I saw a visitor point at Mystic Timbers and declare that it was The Beast. 
 

I took a risk and corrected them in nice way, I hope. They didn’t react negatively from what I saw and seemed to be intrigued when I told them that The Beast was actually hidden in the back and that it was hidden so as you could not see what you were in for.

I hope the next passholder survey suggests Mystic with a loop and LSMs.

Just now, sitting in the brake run of Diamondback.

"We'll go ride The Beast next. It's so old no one rides it. We'll get right on it."

I am fairly certain that if The Beast were ever to be slated for demolition the entire tri-state area and all of Cincinnati as a whole would riot in the streets and swarm the park with picket signs

I forgot to add the followup after my post. We went to ride Beast after a ride on MT. It had a full queue. I started laughing out loud thinking about what that guy thought when he got over there. 

Waiting in line for The Beast:

Guest to their friend "If you look closely in the woods on the ride... you can see The Beast animatronic!"

Although not true that would be cool if they added some kind of animatronic to the ride even if it would only be the paws of The Beast!

It doesn't even need to be an animatronic...it could be a stationary thing just off of the track and it would seem to move if you put speakers next to it. Your going so fast, you wouldn't know any different. The Yeti on Expedition Everest doesn't move either, but it seems to move with you!

With glowing eyes for nighttime rides.

A pair of big Beast paws and some bright glowing eyes ready to strike at night!

Looks like we got ourselves a team!

Well, the food is cheaper at Disney than KI. KI’s platters at Coney BBQ start at $16.99 I believe?

This is Regal Eagle Smokehouse (BBQ) at Epcot:

Is that in the Disney World app? It sure would be nice to have the menus and prices available like that in the Kings Island app!

Yes it is. It would be great to have menu items and pricing! Now that I think of it, they don't even have food items or pricing on their website

I can check everything about Disney from my work station and plan my next trip there.  Why is the KI app geo locked? 

Heard today:

No wonder they gave away the drink plan, they have no ice or cola.  I'd be ticked if I paid for that.

What else is geo locked besides the ride wait times?

Menus (both what’s being offered and prices).  

The menus and prices can't be geo locked on the app when they don't exist there  

Even the old Six Flags app has some of the menus for some of their parks on it. If we're getting more of the same when this new app comes out, I wouldn't be shocked to see that feature removed.
