I hopped on and was shocked to see Boomerang Bay is not open tomorrow per the KI site...can anyone verify this? It's going to be approximately 1 million degrees, will be quite bummed if we can't go over there.

Staffing on a Friday, (when school`s are in session), is the primary reason that Boomerang Bay likely is closed. I know at Coney, we had a private event on Tuesday, and it was difficult staffing it because of schools being in session. In fact, the two rides managers who were there (myself and another one) were working the rides the last three hours we were open. In fact, for thirty minutes, I was working the Giant Slide with the head rides mechanic, because we didn`t have anyone else to run the ride!

Ah, ok, that makes sense. What a bummer. Maybe I should just delay going til Sunday...hmmm...

Funny, because didn't Kings Island tweet that the announcement will take place:

In an area that can only be found by those that know where it is.

Perhaps not a direct correlation, but how many people would expect to make their way to the closed water park for an announcement?

GYK, who truly has no idea at this point, but if we throw enough crap at the wall, something's gotta stick!

I would guess it is safe to assume the water attractions in the main park will be running, right? White Water Canyon, Congo Falls, the thing in Planet Snoopy where kids run through and get drenched?
