Dollar Days are back this August 30 - September 1 ! I was able to call and get information about what they are offering and where in the park to find it.

Larosa's Pizza $1 - All pizza locations

Hot Dogs $1 - Tower Grill & Picnic Grove

Blue Ice Cream $1 - Ice Cream Zone & Planet Snoopy Ice Cream

Cotton Candy $1 - At 3 park locations

Fresh Watermelon $1 - At Coney Marketplace

Frozen soft lemonade $1 - Action Zone, Planet Snoopy, Picnic Grove

The big thing is that Soak City will not be offering any $1 items, they are offering $1 food items in the Picnic Grove.

Rope Ladder Climb $1

Hi-Striker $1

other selected games $1

Bring a Friend Days also up to 4 people $19.99 each for 2014 Gold or Platinum Pass holders.

Just wanted to confirm, are the Bring A Friend Days every day during Aug 30-Sept 1?

All the LaRosas you can keep down for $1 a slice?

Yuck...and, no thanks. Would be a great place to people watch. Sit by the fountain, and watch them line up like cattle.

Nothing like spending a day watching the masses shovel pizza down their gulletts at $1 a slice.

Wow, this may be an excellent people watching experience. I'd imagine this will bring out some people who frankly don't get out of the house much.

I was at KI for "Dollar Days" twice last year - on Labor Day Monday and again for the bonus day added to the schedule when one park buy-out got cancelled.

It is a popular promotion, so the park became somewhat crowded. Lines at participating food locations were impressive, but they were short very early (~10-11am) and then again within a few hours of park closing. Major attractions had minimal waits early in the day, but they got progressively worse as people finished digesting their piles of pizza.

Unfortunately for my people watching fun, the kid and I will be in Louisville Sunday eve for Corky Miller Night.

Trip to Louisville Slugger Museum, a night at Galt House hotel for $54 on Hotwire, $12 front row tickets, how can you beat that?

They do have $1 Hot Dogs and $1 Pepsi that night...

Corky Miller IS baseball. As far as dollar days go, no thanks.

It's also Bring A Friend for 19.99 for Gold and Platinum Pass Holders.

I haven't been able to find the $20 BAF in official writing anywhere yet. Went to the full site and everything, it only talks about the $1 food. Same with Facebook and Twitter.

I'm sure since jdf21972 actually called the park and got the info it is true, I just don't know why they aren't mentioning it.

Not sure what's so bad about dollar days? My wife and I have went the past 2 years and we quite enjoy it. Although we don't go to pig out and make ourselves sick. It is one time during the operating season that we do eat in the park though. It's fun to go grab a couple slices of pizza for dinner and then later in the evening grab an ice cream for dessert and maybe a bag of cotton candy to take home. I don't think it's too bad at all really. Yes, I'm sure some people show up and act like it's the only food they'll ever eat again, but I think most of us are reasonable and can enjoy the day without going too crazy.

My posts are all in fun...though we have seen many eat during dollar days like they are going to the electric chair.

Say what you want about me but I feel that it brings less mannered, more rude patrons who normally would skip the park; AKA cheap skates and those looking for the next best thing to a hand out who splurge because they can.

With that said I'm sure there are some good people who cannot otherwise afford to spend much money at all in the park and may come rarely if ever. It could be their family's biggest event of the year.

Because of that, it's a great idea but the mob mentality around the deals makes it a no go for me.

$19.99 Bring A Friend for Gold/Platinum Pass Holders was included in the handout they gave me at the South Tolls.

Ah, Dollar Days on Labor Day weekend.

It sounds like that will be a great weekend for a visit to Kennywood!

I'll take advantage of the $1 deals... I mean... why not?

But yeah, Dollar Days is prime people watchin' season.

I love people watching on Dollar Days. It has a tendency to bring out families that do not get out too often.

Princess Sparkles is thrilled she gets pizza at the park. Yay! It isn't Taco Bell.

Oh they should do like Walmart on Black Friday. Just wheel out the pizza and hot dogs out on pallets say once an hour and let people fight for them.

The crowds on Dollar Days will be at Walmart on Black Friday. (Princess Sparkles and I are at Walmart on Black Friday.) I think there is a connection there that explains a whole lot. However, Walmart on Black Friday brings people watching to new heights, at times frightening ones.

We went on dollar days last year. They were charging $1 a slice, yet a full pizza was still, $27. ? Of course the slices were a third the normal size.

This year they are throwing BAF in the mix, no thanks.

We will be taking a voyage instead.

I'm sorry.

Terp, who won't be ravin' about voyages, legend or not.

I just want to ride some Coasters. I may be embarking on a journey soon that will severely limit my time to do so. Haven't been to HW in over two years now.

Our one and only BAF visit was not a pleasant one and we will never do it again.

Hope to visit KI at least once more this season as we are going on hiatus next year.

I know that when the park opens at 10, the food places generally don't open until 11. Is this true with later park opening? For example, this Friday, when they open at noon, would I have to wait till 1 for my $1 LaRosa's pizza?

Is there ERT at 11:30?

^ Dollar Days don't begin until Saturday, so there won't be $1 pizza slices on Friday.

There will be ERT at 11:30am.

Oh yeah, duh. My plans for this weekend changed and I forgot why I hadn't been considering Friday (I thought I just didn't like the late open).

I think I'm just going to go on Monday like I was originally planning then.

On days with normal hours, International Street LaRosa's typically opens around park opening, and Cinnabon opens with the park. Most other food locations do not open until one hour after park opening. That may be different with a noon opening, though, since people will be ready for lunch immediately. Back on the Friday after opening day, when the park did not open until 4pm, food locations opened with the park.

Don't know if anyone is interested but Mix 107.7 is having a contest to win a pair of tickets to the park for Dollar Days. It closes tomorrow at 11:59 pm. Here is the link: http://www.mix1077.com/contests/kings-island-dollar-days/319933

Well I'm here. I realized sometime during my trip down (in pounding rain) that I'm not going to the Monkey House to laugh at the monkeys, I am a macaque.

Seriously should have waited until tomorrow when there was a chance of not raining all day.

On the plus side, crowds are very low

It looks like Mason is going to miss all of the rain we're getting down here in central Kentucky. It's been raining all night and about to start raining for a few more hours.

Yeah, the rain has really let up. Unfortunately I'm still drenched from my first ride of the day, on Delirium. Not as much fun in the rain.

^ A little late now, but right after getting drenched on Delirium would have been the perfect time to ride Congo Falls.
