### 2/5 — Problems with firehouse bbq

*2025-10-25*

I was in line for firehouse bbq and the dude who was serving me was very inpatient as well as serving me small portions of food I can’t describe him more but he was a black dude and one thing I noticed was he served all white people small portions now I am not racist but I looked at the black family in front of me and they as well as there kids had huge portions but anyways I was served a small amount of food but the main problem was his attitude it was rushy and impatient like I said before but all I really ask for Is nicer workers I hate to write so much but it’s very mean because I was very nice but other than that it’s a solid park I hope you guys get this

### 2/5 — Time to upgrade

*2025-08-23, version 8.4.18*

This app can be a lot better to help manage line control, and enhance people’s experience at the park

### 2/5 — Extremely average.

*2024-09-02*

This app shows basic Info, which is good, but it lack functionality for someone who is at the park. You should be able to search with way more specificity…by thrill level, by type of ride, etc. so you can decide on what to ride. I’m here with my daughter and don’t know the names of the rides, so I have to look everyone one of them up to see what the do.  Not efficient at all. We waste a lot of time just walking around looking because the app is not useful enough

### 2/5 — Genuinely Dislike

*2024-07-08*

I really dislike the interactive map in this app, wow it gives me a headache and the slightest touch sends you to a different location; it would work nicer if it was a flat map with the availability of zooming in. I tried to download a map and none is provided, the one available only showed food and wouldn’t zoom in enough to see rides. I think it has plenty of great ideas it includes tons of information, but the map being so wonky makes me dislike the whole app overall. I much more prefer the hershey park app, granted that one also has issues; but at least it wasn’t making my stomach turns.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2024-06-13*

It’s ok for some things like storing season pass and add-on info. Good to find ride info like what type of ride and height restrictions. Easier to navigate through this newer app compared to old one. But wait times aren’t always accurate (could be much longer or much shorter). Still room for improvements. Would love at least some landmarks pointed out in the app as reference points. It would be great if the restaurant menus were posted on the app so we don’t easy time walking to a place that doesn’t have something people in the group will eat. It would also be great if it had some sort of time when you last used your dining or drink plan so you don’t have to remember exactly the time to use again.

### 3/5 — Mid

*2024-04-20, version 8.2.9*

The app is decent usually does what you want it to but it shouldn’t send ads to passholders and mobile order would be nice.

### 2/5 — Good but False

*2023-12-10*

So overall, this app is good but sometimes when I try to check the rides to see if they’re open it says that they’re closed when they are actually open and it is irritating because I have a chance to get on a ride that has a short line but when I go over there then it has a long line. Sometimes they’ll say it’s a five minute wait and it will really be like a 30 minute wait so they need to improve on this and update it if when the wait time changes.

### 2/5 — Terrible navigation, ok park info

*2023-07-21*

Ok for ride and dining info but a real battery killer AND for directions inside the park, Google Maps is MUCH better. This app gives confusion directions overlaid on an unlabeled and useless map. Google Maps is much better - clear directions, labeled points of interest, and Google Maps never gets confused about where I am or which way I'm moving.

### 2/5 — Keeps deleting season passes

*2023-04-23*

The app deleted my passes twice today while at the park. I added them to my Apple wallet after the first occurrence, but super inconvenient when we were coming into the gate. Two were able to be scanned and then they were all gone before we could do the third. 

The map and direction feature was really helpful during our visit though.

### 2/5 — Season passes and tickets disappear

*2023-04-05*

I'm t used to be that if you bought tickets online they'd magically appear in the app.  Now they do not. You need to add them. And about an hour after you add them they disappear and you need to keep reading them. 

Super inconvenient if you purchase season pass fast lanes and I need to search though email every time we visit to try to find the order number. Or if we let one of the kids bring a friend and we buy a ticket online - but then when we get to the park I need to search through email to find the order number. 

Was hoping this would be fixed after last time I visited, but checked this morning and nothing is there, again. 

You guys make enough money to hire a proper developer.

### 2/5 — not good

*2022-10-16, version 7.231*

slow, times arent correct and nothing was fun tbh

### 2/5 — wait times good, but Maps with no labels?

*2022-08-23*

The app is really good on ride ratings and wait times. 
The big downside is navigation.  The park’s features are not labeled on the map so it’s hard to use it to find your way around. This is key and i hope they’ll fix it. It would make a huge difference in park-goers’ experience.

### 3/5 — Adding season passes to Apple Wallet no longer works

*2022-06-19*

The feature to add season passes from the KD app to the Apple Wallet on iOS is no longer working. It used to work and the “Add to Wallet” button is still there but tapping it no longer works.

Otherwise this app is ok. It’s a generic cross-platform mobile app that tries to work on as many devices as possible but is inferior to a proper native app. I wish it also included a non-interactive map in addition to the one it has.

### 1/5 — Pointless other than as a substitute for a paper map

*2021-07-24, version 7.206.0*

The ride wait times and other attraction information aren’t updated properly or accurate. Makes the primary purpose of this app pointless and frustrating.

### 3/5 — Wait times pointless

*2021-07-14*

The map to help you get around works well enough, but the wait time for the rides is not close to being accurate. It listed every coaster at the park as a 0 minutes wait time except one that was a 20 minute wait. All of the coasters had a wait time. Pointless feature that sounds cool but doesn’t actually work.

### 3/5 — Has some bugs and shows closed rides

*2020-01-22*

Lots of rides that have closed are still on the map.  Park used to be so good, now the good parts are all gone. Paramount was twice as good as this place, I am not renewing my pass.

### 1/5 — Add To Wallet button is broken

*2019-12-20*

By far the best feature of this app was the ability to add the season pass to my Apple Wallet, then pull it up on my Apple Watch without needing to get out my phone.  Now, for close to a year the “Add to Wallet” button has been broken. (Nothing happens when you press it).

Every time an app update is released I eagerly check to see if it has been fixed. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to contact the developers, nor do they seem to read any of the reviews.

### 3/5 — Good, but could be great!

*2019-11-30*

I love the fact that I can see wait times for rides and that I always have a map in my hand...

But, I don’t know why I can’t update our passes in the app or why it is hard to find the passes in my app. I would have renewed our passes months ago if I could have done it in the app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2025-07-29*

The WORST app ever created I just lost money becuase I didn’t screen shot my tickets before I closed them out…an email wasn’t sent out or anything I tried for an hour getting those tickets back and I couldn’t do anything. Ended up just buying new ones. Unless you screenshot or print out ur tickets they are gone. Learn from me don’t be stupid with this god awful app

### 1/5 — Basically scammed

*2025-06-14, version 8.4.16*

I bought 2 tickets and both havent showed up, moneys gone from my account too showing I bought it. Thankfully I took pictures but my friend was not so lucky.

### 1/5 — Not Friendly

*2025-06-07, version 8.4.16*

Used the app to buy tickets. Tickets don’t show in app. Got an email and finally got them added to Apple wallet (yay), but in order to add them to my tickets in the app I have to type in a 25 digit number. No thanks.

### 1/5 — Very lacking

*2025-05-25, version 8.4.16*

Does not show waterpark attractions does not show all locker locations is very lacking in full information

### 1/5 — Signin is broken

*2025-05-09, version 8.4.14*

I can signin on website but not app

### 1/5 — Wait Times

*2023-10-29*

Your wait time is severely off. I checked the wait times to see which was the shortest and it said 45 minutes. I have been in this line for an hour and a half and still have yet to even see where I can get on the coaster. This needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2023-07-24, version 7.236.1*

We downloaded the app to use the map because the park no longer provides paper maps. The location was not adaptive. The navigation was confusing. App needs to be modernized.

### 1/5 — Can’t add season passes

*2023-04-09, version 7.236.1*

The only real reason I wanted or needed this app was to load my season passes, but it errors out every single time. They’re loaded into the Kings Island and Cedar Point apps just fine. I have to use a different app to scan in for parking and entry. 🙄

### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-06-21, version 7.214.0*

App is mostly a waste. Yes you put your season pass on it, but the wait times for rides are not remotely accurate.  Big rides you can’t have your phone anyways so it ends up in a locker most of the day.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP!!!!!!!!!!

*2021-07-24, version 7.206.0*

How do you make someone sign up for an account to get access to the wait times. Then have 0 mins for the wait time for every ride, when there is a 2 hour wait for every ride. Y’all got me f*** up.

### 5/5 — .

*2025-08-11, version 8.4.18*

This isn’t a review on the app but I love the park so many cool things

### 5/5 — Apple Watch

*2019-06-14*

I this app so I don’t need my passes! But I wish there was a way to put the app on my Apple Watch so I didn’t need my phone!

### 5/5 — Day saver

*2018-09-09*

We used the app today for a special event at KD and recommend it.  The arrow on the map showing which way you are heading made it easy to navigate.  Wait times were accurate. There were buy one get one free offers on snacks.  Way to mark your parking spot but parked close, so didn’t use it.  Does much less until you’re at the park.  FYI: the parking lot opened up at 9:30, gates at 10, but most rides (whole sections of the park) didn’t open until 10:30AM.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2017-04-16, version 7.0.00*

Map is fantastic. All the rides, places to eat, events going on, etc. are easy to find.  I even added my season pass and saved it in passbook.  This app is cool!!!

### 5/5 — Good Deal!

*2017-04-14, version 3.1.0*

I hope i get to Go many much times 
Than last year

### 5/5 — Kings Dominion App Efficient

*2016-07-30, version 3.1.0*

I love the Kings Dominion app because it helps pin point areas and rides available although I've been to kings dominion so many times its a muscle memory to me. Great place!!!

### 5/5 — Simple and Ez

*2016-06-18, version 3.1.0*

The app does what it's intended to do.  A plus feature is the ability to locate your friends throughout the park as long as they have their phone.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app- the map just needs an update.

*2013-08-05, version 2.0*

It's a wonderful and amazing app. Everything I need is on there. I just wish they will update the map and give updates on the park. Kidzville is still on it, it should be Planet Snoopy now. I would like to check updates on ride maintenance too, like Intimidator 305. One more thing, a section with the new ride and updates daily on the park .   Please update it daily. I would kindly appreciate it. But get this app, it's worth it.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2013-06-29, version 2.0*

This app is very helpful. I'm from the area and I've been there a couple times. This app became more helpful to me when I went again. I could go on rides easier than ever. 

If you are going to Kings Dominion I would really recommend this app!

### 4/5 — Nice App but needs updated data behind it!!

*2019-11-30*

First time we've been to any of the Cedar Fair Parks and were very impressed by Winterfest.  Great in park WiFi made the app always work great when I was using it and all the basic information (menus etc.) was great.  During Winterfest I tried locating a couple of things to meet up with other people and their location on the map was incorrect. Two for three actually in terms of how many times I tried and how many where in the wrong place.  I'll say the third location the map showed correctly was not part of the Winterfest data set.  I was just looking for a ride that was on the normal ride map.  Overall I would recommend getting the app if you're going but I would make sure I get a paper map as a backup!
