What in your opinion are some totally random, oddball, under rated things in the park?  A certain seat on a ride, thing to do, etc...

1.  Ms. Pac Man in the 80's shop.  Cool.  25 cent coin op arcade!

2.  Front seat on The Bat.  So much better than any other seat on this ride.

3. Congo Falls on a hot, busy day.  Never a line, get a quick ride in and get refreshed without being soaked.

4. History of the park.  Catching old PKI logos or relics from old rides.  I wish the park emphasized the history of it more.

5.  The few weeks where they played instrumental music at the entrance.

6.  Ride ops.  Most are very good at what they do. 

7.  Old School train conductors.  Cool to see that tradition still.

 

 

The very rear seat on DB is the best seat on any coaster in the park period.

DB in row 12 outer right is my preferred seat.

The best coaster seat in the park is Beast 1-1 at night.  

silver2005, who will gladly wait through the 10 cycle wait for the front at least once a year for a night ride. 

I think Zephyr is a very underrated ride, never has a line and is always a fun ride to go on.

I know the Eiffel Tower view from the entrance is a great shot, but I feel I-Street from any other angle in terms of photos are highly underused.  I also love eating around the fountain as well.  Wonderful spot to relax and have a meal (when the weather is perfect of course, not too hot).   I enjoy walking past the fountains on the way out.  Makes exiting the park a nice way to cap off the day.   Not many other park exitings do that for me (Hershey is up there for me as well).   

I also enjoy the walk back to Soak City.   Its a nice quiet moment compared to the noise of the rest of the park.  

People watching. Especially when it's hotter than Hades on a busy weekend.

I agree OP front seat on The Bat is very fun!!

I love spotting a rainbow on the Diamondback splashdown (:

I like cutting through the festhaus for the sights the smell of panda express (usually can't afford to eat in park...)

Forgot about this one.  Absolutely!

The replacement of the asphalt walkways with pavers. Greatly improved the look and feel of the areas that were done.

I also enjoy spending lots of time by the fountains. I’m sure you know that already as I’am the fountain ERT guy.[emoji6] I would actually rather sit by the fountains at night to watch the fireworks than get a Beast night ride.

Can't wait for Fountain ERT @pianoman

 

I Feel like most people skip going on the Eiffel Tower. You can get some good views from there.

Racer Radio.

^ Often the highlight of my day at the park.

Oh really?  I've never been able to tell. 

First Aid.   First Aid at CF parks is First Class.

EXtreme Skyflyer!  What I have found is that you can go purchase your ticket earlier in the day when the price is lower (plus the Gold Pass discount!) and then come back when the line dies down or at night - which is my favorite time to fly.

Also, the coin operated foot massagers near Viking Fury/AE walkway. For a quarter, it's quite the deal.  Feels lovely.

So is their park surveillance system---and their police! We had two phones, a wallet, and other random items stolen one visit. ALL OF IT returned, thieves nabbed! We were amazed.

Individually, none of these things are under rated, but I'd consider this oddball combo one of my favorites: Banshee, front row, at night, barefoot. 

The Rivertown Coke Freestyle!   Oh wait.....

Underrated or understaffed?  

That's underrated by Kings Island themselves, not by us

Tom & Chee's  BBQ grilled cheese!!

Adventure Express at night.  The tunnels and ambiance are great when it starts to be dusk.
