All Activity

So Enchanted Parks might be trying to make a good first impression. Despite it being dead, MIA is running all trains on the coasters that can. I don't think that happens under FUN or SIX.

Shivering Timbers got some extensive retracking from RMC and she's running much better than my last trip in 2023. 2nd half needs some TLC still, but it's bareable.

I am really thinking about taking the kids to this park. The Bat at Kings Island has peaked my 5 year old interest this season but he cant just quite get there yet. Im thinking the new coaster at Kentucky Kingdom might get him over that edge.

Im not sure this is realted but there was a group screaming at each other as we left after the park closed yesterday. The group was making my kids exteremely uncomfortable.

So I was worried about how my pass would work at the Enchanted parks... Got parking and entry to MIA just fine.

Why was the site down all day yesterday?

Day 1 went pretty well, though slightly not to plan. The drive up to Muskegon from Cincinnati was mostly fine, though, the final stretches are a bit of a hassel. The driver quality in Michigan really amps up in intensity (as in forcing you to do 80 mph) once I got on I-94 approaching Grand Rapids and nearly all the way to Muskegon. There's an aweful stretch in Grand Rapids where its' fairly curvy and the upkeep isn't great, and its still marked 70 mph. Ugh. Muskegon was hopping for the first time in my 3 visits. There was a charity run this morning, and then a minor league baseball game, which, the opposing team is staying at my hotel. I did manage to take a bit of a drive around including Lake Michigan beach ERT. So, I don't post about this often, but I do live with a fairly significant digestive condition. I've had it for about 20 years, and I'm mostly feeling good most days now, but today was the one day it decided to give me a headache, literally. I got randomly dehydrated, so I had to keep it simple for dinner. There's a decent simple burger joint in Muskegon called the Station Grill that I always stop at, but I'll probably leave that until after MIA tomorrow. I only intend to eat like snacks or similar things at MIA with a useless meal plan and their menu is pretty abysmal. Luckily, there's a fantastic breakfast only hole-in-the-all place in Muskegon, too called Toast N' Jams, another one of my Muskegon staples. There's another park by Muskegon Bay I always stop at and I'll do that either before or after MIA tomorrow (it's really nice at sunset). Here are some photos of Lake Michigan ERT.

Has anyone seen what's going on around 11pm at the pickup area? Cops flooded the area with sirens on and even more cops were arriving flying down the road to KI

There is a new sign in front of the former 5D cinema area “Something new is coming, you can bet on it”

What if...🤔😅

I miss the meet & greets with the Hanna-Barbera characters and especially the Hanna-Barbera carousel! 🎠

I would love it if some of KI's flat rides would get more merch, imagine if Zephyr or Scrambler had t-shirts or hats!

I'm happy that PT:ON has a lot of merch! I just hope that we see even more merch in the future. Does the OG PT ride have merch from the 90s/early 2000s?

I might be getting lucky with MIA as it's supposed to rain the morning I'm going. Which means.... Rain soaked tracks in ST and WW! 😎

I honestly agree that it contributes to the issue. Like the problem is that Six Flags has given away the gate but at the same time they also kinda gave away the food and beverage too. I know they would have a ton of backlash if they ever got rid of dining and drink plans but at the same time I do feel that Enchanted Parks was justified in doing so. Hopefully enchanted parks can find a better balance and profits

There's something I want to get some clarification on. I currently have a Kings Island Gold Season Pass with the all-park passport, all-day dining, and drink plan. I recently found out that Six Flags changed their add-ons so that they work with any park that your pass has access to. Since my Gold Season Pass has the all-park passport, will that make it so I can use my dining and drink plans at other Six Flags parks? I'm going to Kings Dominion next week, as well as Carowinds and Cedar Point later on in the year.

Just out of curiosity, is there any good breakfast joints in Sandusky?

[chanting] Polar Plunge! Polar Plunge! Polar Plunge! Downtown Sandusky looks very beautiful (or at least it did on Google Street View). I highly recommend going to see the floral clock in the middle of Washington(?) Street over by City Hall.

Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration returns June 15-Aug. 2 with patriotic drone shows, dazzling fireworks, family entertainment, festival food, and unforgettable summer fun. Here’s why this summer may be the perfect time to visit Dollywood. Read more: https://themeparksbydon.com/dollywood-smoky-mountain-summer-celebration-2026/

So here's what the weather breakdown appears. For Muskegon- I get there Saturday, probably between noon and 2 pm. I might get some time in Lake Michigan that day, but it'll have to be before dinner-ish. Sunday looks to be practically spring-like weather. The cooler weather does favor the 2 wood coasters there at least. I was contemplating the water park, but not with those temps. For Port Clinton and CP, Monday looks to be ideal for exploring Port Clinton and maybe downtown Sandusky a bit. Does a look a tad too cool for Lake Erie swimming. Tuesday looks gorgeous for Cedar Point (expecting some crowds, but Tuesdays are the best days to go for most parks). Wednesday starts good, but I may have to get lucky for night rides then as rain appears to be arriving later. It appears far less humid than it initially appeared. This is meant to be a very lax trip compared to my Missouri trip later in July, so for MIA and at least one of the CP days, I'll be taking my time.

You wouldn’t think that a 50 year-old IP franchise was just what a 30 year-old coaster needed, but it certainly was

I really think it’s going to be a Mack water coaster: https://www.mack-rides.com/products/water-coaster Would be such a fantastic addition to the park.

A 60-foot-tall Rubber Duck has arrived at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari for Rubber Duck Days. The limited-time event includes themed food, merchandise, and summer entertainment through June 21. Details: https://themeparksbydon.com/holiday-world-rubber-duck-days-giant-rubber-duck/

So much of that park gets so much right.

Feeling jealous of KD. Check this out. Beautiful.
