It's working, and when your goal is to boost vaccination rates, a $5 million expenditure plus five full rides to Ohio colleges seems to be worth the money.

How much do other more traditional advertising campaign costs and how effective are they? If this compares favourably, then it's probably a good move.

It's brilliant, people who buy a lottery ticket every week probably have the lowest vaccination rate of any demographic, so you can rack up huge numbers by appealing to their interest.

I'm glad more states are joining in!

Sure. You could move to Indiana. Or dream big and go all the way to Illinois.

This.

I don't like that they have to resort to that but I like that it is working

If it's working then great. There are so many people who refuse to get it because of their "convictions" and their unfounded beliefs that there is some danger to it, and I bet the majority of those people are willing to go through with it if there's some potential money to win on the line.

If it's not working, it's costing what? Maybe a dollar per tax payer or something? That's a tiny cost for the chance to get vaccination rates up.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well. (I may be biased, living just ten minutes from KI.)

listen, as a former Ohioan, just because King's Island has The Beast does not make it better than Cedar Point

Cedar Point is the best coaster focused park in the US.

There's so many options, personally I'm torn between The Beast and The Banshee

Well to start, its attendance numbers are usually roughly the same as Cedar Point. It's larger though, so probably feels less busy.

To answer your question though? Whole experience. Cedar Point has a couple of good coasters, but the only one that really sticks out as being worth it to go for is Maverick (or Dragster for one time if you haven't ridden it, then you're good for life).
Kings Island just has more. It's NOT as good as it used to be - back before Cedar Fair bought it, the Paramount theming added a lot of character to the park. Hanna-Barbara land was the shit.

But even still, Kings Island just provides a better overall park experience. Better seasonal options, better variety of rides, and just more to see.

Cedar Fair sucks. Or at least sucked. They bought Knott's here back in 97 and started immediately ripping a lot of the well themed rides out for generic thrill rides.

Mind you, when your in the middle of the LA area and Disneyland is right next to you, trying to be a generic amusement park instead of something unique doesn't work and so they've gone back and started re-theming much of the park. But they did a lot of permanent damage they can't take back.

I mean sure but even if Cedar Point has less diversity in terms of coaster types, the coasters themselves are better than KI's and there's more of them. It's a totally different competition. For example, Millennium Force is a really simple hypercoaster but it's just one of the best coaster experiences you can get.

I get where you're coming from, King's Island is a great park but it's more balanced between coasters and theming without being among the best in either category.
