Kings Island may be a FEMA mass vaccination site

Is that something that KI offers up or is it something that the government tells them they’re doing?

While there may be some force of law, it's normally a voluntary thing, often with a rental fee attached.  Basically, the city, county, or state government (health department) rents out a parking lot, parking garage, or convention center to host the vaccination site.

Kent County, MI, in Grand Rapids, originally agreed to pay its convention authority $12k/day in facility rentals for this purpose, before getting that waived..  (Source: https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2021/02/kent-county-can-now-host-devos-place-vaccine-clinic-rent-free-following-pushback-over-12k-daily-fee.html)

Meanwhile, the privately owned Suburban Collection Showplace in Metro Detroit offered up space rent-free from the start.  (Source: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2021/01/21/suburban-collection-showplace-covid-19-vaccination-novi/4245863001/)

I’m sure KI is salivating over the idea of their name coming up over and over as a vaccination site. 

Most do it for the PR. Every time the news (Cincinnati/Dayton/C-bus) brings up a vac site they will mention Kings Island. the thought is (obviously) it can/will create revenue. 

They could offer Fast Lane vaccination or Pharmacist's Needle (available on the All Season Vaccination Plan).  Members of  coaster clubs could come to VACCstock and get exclusive BTS tours of pharmacists drawing up the doses.  The anti-vaxxers are not forgotten either:  An All Season Cool Aid plan could be offered with a refillable cup in the shape of a syringe with  red line or a disposable paper mask cup.
