I am begining to think we need a dedicated thread for the Rivertown Freestyle just so we know if we should be on the lookout for @King Ding Dong in the park.

Like a Bat Signal? LOL

The online calendar still says 10PM. We must be good.

What is up with Invertigo and Drop Tower? I’ve been here 3 times this year and they seem to have had significant downtime each of my visits.

Just bad luck maybe... I don't remember either of those rides being down during any of my visits this year. Actually, Invertigo went down while I was in line one time, but it must have been a minor issue because it was back up within 10 minutes.

I’m scheduled to 11:30 Saturday and Sunday so I’m sure they’re finally bringing back 10pm closes!

This is fantastic news! Hopefully this means Cedar Point will be open daily starting in July.

Just wanted to mention that the Diamondback crew right now is absolutely amazing.  The average dispatch time is under 90 seconds.  Outstanding work by this crew so far this season!

Orion crew is rocking it too today!

Fine, fine, fine.   But how is the Freestyle Crew doing?   Priorities people. 

From what I saw, most of the food stands close at 10:00 PM today. I also noticed many of those Coca-Cola stands that sell pretzels open for the first time, and Rivertown Funnel Cakes was open. Staffing seems to have definitely improved, and I am glad we are now open until 10:00 PM again!

The FS crew is rocking too, including your favorite @King Ding Dong

Open til 10, so come on down and witness with your own eyes lol

I will wait until I see the govt. report released today.

Are they still playing that God awful Luke Bryan type pop country 5 song loop  all over the left side of the park?    They must not want to pay ascap fees this year. 

^Yes, although it might be up to 6 songs now 

I heard that The Beast closed its line early yesterday. Can anyone confirm this? I really hope The Beast and Orion don’t start closing their lines early before 10:00 PM. I hope they still let people get in line up until close and ride after the fireworks.

They let riders into the Orion line until 10pm last night.

I suspect the person you heard it from is mistaking that they shut it down early for the fireworks for shutting the line down early...

That is good to hear!

It's good to see that the Rivertown freestyle is actually open. I know everyone is talking about other things right now, but to me that's a good sign. Hopefully, it's like that in two weeks when I go next.

From what I have seen it has been open most days. I think nearly all food stands are open now which is very nice to see. Some of the midway games are closed which include two of the Sprite basketball shooting games and that soccer game by Diamondback, but I don’t think Kings Island ever intended to open these three games this year. I don’t even think they are still hiring for games. I know most people don’t care about the midway games being open, but when everything is open (rides, food stands, stores, and games), the park just feels more alive in my opinion.

Not an hour ago discovered my garage door is broken. I am now convinced it was sabotage by KI operatives so they could safely open the Freestyle.

The funny thing is that every time I have seen Rivertown Freestyle open this year, it has said temporarily closed outside the entrance. Instead of saying the actual hours it is open, it just says closed as if it is supposed to be closed. LOL!

See the latest tiktok by the park. The comments are what to look at.

Thanks for providing a tiktok link to the official KI account since the website makes no mention of a tiktok social media presence

Which one of the comments in the comments is your favorite LOL.
