Holiday World has had it for many, many years...

""Thing""

That was weird lol

Yay! Shake Rattle and Rolll! Still testing and sparkling in the sun!

That's not the way sponsorship in a park works.

I loved the four different kinds of pizza NJFTP served. Once pizza was sponsored (at first Papa John's, then Famous Famiglia), that ended.

The sponsor pays big money to be exclusive.

Would you be willing to pay more for admission/season passes for more choices? I would. Most would not.

That would be great, at least to have something different than Larossa's. Never ate at one that I really enjoyed.

 

Even the one we had in Portsmouth was, well, not very good. unless I'm with someone that really wants to

eat there, I'll pass it up every time to go to the Hall of Fame Grill, or down the street.

 

Just my opinion.

I love Homemade Brand Ice Cream from UDF and Greater's is just ok (imo); why not sell both? That would give me just one more reason (in addition to Starbucks, The Bat, Banshee, etc.) to love the park that much more!

I think I would consider it, depending on the price increase! Although I could/can always get UDF Homemade Brand Ice Cream in my hometown (or even down the street!), and that's one of the things that makes Blue Ash, Ohio special, just as great rides, good shows, and LaRosa's pizza make KI special!

Had!

Wow.

It failed?

And there's a LaRosa's in Jackson, Ohio now?

My head hurts.

Yea, the one here has been out for a couple years now.

 

We do all the lock work for the parent company that owns them, The one in

Jackson might be closed up, too. I'll find out tomorrow.

 

It's not gonna hurt them if it is, though

Didn't they just buy like two dozen Wendy's?

I think they've bought quite a few, on top of owning the one's already here. And they own a few Buffalo Wild Wing's.
Most Fridays and Saturdays You can't hardly get in them places.

 

If ya ever eat there, don't do carry-out on the weekends.

Drove by KI today on the way to and from family's house for Easter and saw the new entrance (it looks great) and Tropical Plunge's stairway appears to be most of the way complete. I did not see any rides testing, though.

It's Easter--and unless time is a huge issue, employees are typically off if the park is closed Easter.

I saw plenty of things happening from the webcams today, so people where working today.

Question. For preview night, do I need to bring my coaster club card? I know that's a silly question.

Nope. It's for gold and platinum season passholders who renewed early. You need to bring that pass...

No. As long as you renewed by the deadline you should be good.

Is it a Coaster Club event?

No, but you never know though. Some policies vary. I did renew my Platinum Pass back in December. Actually my dad did that for me as a Christmas gift so I'm ready now!

Uh, the renewal had to be done by November 1 to attend Preview Night, I believe...

I had some ride associate friends last year who had on-site ride training on Easter last year (2015). I'm sure most construction contractors that Kings Island uses give their employees Easter off, but it seems that the three weekends before the park opens are when they hold a lot of associate training events.

Lots of activity going on in the ole Rivertown today!, mostly around the "bridge" area in front of the KIandMV RR.

Terp, yes the LaRosa's in Jackson is still

open. Guess it's doin pretty good.

The dozen or however many stores they bought

are down in Ky and Wva, don't think they bought

Anything here.

This is our first time renewing our gold passes. I renewed online on Oct. 23rd. Do we have to go through the processing center or is it automatic for renewals? I'm thinking its automatic because my pass portal on the app says 2016 but just wanted to be sure (it erroneously says 2016 + dining so I know it's not 100% accurate).

2016 dining plan information is now live on KI's site. Looks the same as last year. The options look to be correct over last year.

On the dining plan page, the name of Hank's Burrito Shack has reverted to Outerhanks (sic). I assume that this is an error.

They've changed the wrap at chicken shack to a crispy chicken salad, and removed the mini corn dogs option at Rivertown potato works. At least RHoFG is back on the list now.

RHoFG... Reds Hall of Fame Grille..

I need to remember this one..

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new salad is actually going to be like the former wraps where one can choose one's toppings, only over a bed of lettuce instead of in a tortilla. If I can still choose to put a fistful of bacon on top, I'm satisfied!

But the mini corn dogs are at the Coney Mall Potato Works. So that's sort of good.

No, that's a full size gluten-free corn dog. I had that last year. As far as corn dogs go, it's not excellent (it tastes... watery), but I would probably appreciate it more if I was gluten intolerant. I didn't get the mini corn dogs as often as the chicken at RPW, but they were very tasty.
