We got some of the jam during Winterfest. It did not last long. I love boysenberries!

Ditto, honestly was surprised when I saw it back at the Sweet Spot. If they could offer some baking supplies IE biscuits, cobbler mix,  etc. .  I think they could seriously drive sales with buy one get one half off or packages like what Knotts does online.

If you like blueberries and raspberries then you will want to give it a try. 

We are flying out to Knotts soon just get to get some of the boysenberrie juice.  The boyseberrie cookies are to die for!  I was not a fan of the pie however.   

I was kinda sad that they didn’t have the actual boysenberry drink.

I got the cotton candy. It’s good.

I’ve seen some new anniversary items posted for The Beast, Diamondback & Banshee that is for sale at the park posted by people on FB…also the new “I Rode It” 2024 pin series…but so far none of those have been listed on the KIGear site…but these were put up recently. Is this the new style lately? Are they supposed to look retro? The designs look dated to me…but of course so am I. 

More anniversary products that look AWESOME. Unfortunately I only had the foresight to take a picture of one item.

Emporium products I took pics of today.

update: I got the boysenberry jam last week when I visited KI, it is delicious!!!

i saw a picture either on here or fb of some crypt merch that was being sold on opening day *supposedly* and it looked like a denim jacket with hoodie sleeves with the crypt on the back and i thought it was super cool. is that something theyre selling at the park?

If  you see Crypt merch, let me know. I'd love to get some.

Hmmm, I'm starting to digress something here.......Where are the NEW Adventure Express hats and stuff???

In the KI Collections store, there’s stickers, a button, two styles of hoodies and more! IMO it’s a step towards a pass holder culture we desperately need like what we have at USO. Hopefully we get something for the Haunt/WF season too!

I wish the hat wasn’t distressed and was a mono color like the ride hats we got this year. Definitely snagging the grey hoodie!

I can’t read the text. Do they say “passholder” on them?

I've seen posts on social media for KD and CP.  I guess I just don't get the impetus to buy SP merch.  It's not exclusive and it's a product. I see it as the same thing as if Amazon sold merch for being a Prime member.  I wouldn't buy that either. 

However, this could be a part of the integration process of the two companies.  If we see the same design and information at the legacy SF parks, it would be a good unifying brand statement as well as an opportunity to buy low in bulk and sell high in retail. 

My lack of motivation to purchase and giving my viewpoint is not an attempt to downplay the significance of the merch to those who like it. Purchase and enjoy!

Yep! It basically says Kings Island Passholder (sorry the pic lighting wasn’t that ideal for some reason)

So only season passholders can purchase them?

I’ll find out tomorrow I’m going to the park tomorrow evening and I’m planning on picking up at least one piece of passholder merch. Stay tuned to BB1’s (not financial advice) merch hunt!

So it’s safe to assume “Haunt” as a name isn’t going anywhere as all of the Haunt merch is still full priced. Which is unfortunate as I was somewhat hoping it would be discounted on the last day of operations.

So of course I had to swing by KI tonight as it’s been a pretty mild week for crowds. Just as an update for those who are shopping for their coaster enthusiasts:

1. There are a good portion of the summer spirit jerseys back in stock! Blue Ice cream has been a “must have” on a few lists I’ve seen and of course the day after I ordered it to be express mailed to my house it is in stock in the park. (Ironically enough the first day I wore my WDW Christmas spirit jersey to the park as well).

2. 2025 Snoopy merch is out and it actually looks a lot more vibrant/stunning this year than in years past. (Please pardon the glare I literally had to snap the picture to crop so that the worker who was standing next to it wouldn’t be in frame)

3. The Knott’s collection is still in stock, unfortunately this year they decided not to bring back the pancake mix and biscuit mix. However there is still a good hearty mix to bring a little bit of Buena Park to Cincinnati.

What Christmas/winterfest merch was there?

75 Years of Peanuts at The Snoopy Boutique

Trading Company

The Emporium

It could be released later in the season, but I’m honestly disappointed there wasn’t a series 3 of the trading cards available today.

New merch!
