Hmmmm, that video from the park sounds very much like something @DonHelbig and @BoddaH1994 discussed on a recent episode...

However, if we every got a Skyhawk clone...

It'll be interesting to see if the number of countries represented at Grand Carnivale is reduced again this year.

At the rate park announcements have been going, they will announce GC the day after it starts.

I miss the $5 rides.

I honestly think it’s a good thing. I don’t think they are needed. Been going 20 years and how many times do I need ambassador? 0, never knew they existed. Thus imo don’t need them to function.
The Park Ambassadors are one of those things you never know you need until you do. Many people, including my family, have benefitted from their kindness. Please don't discount the many guests and associates whose days have been made better by the Park Ambassadors.

If true, this is absolutely disgusting. We had one ambassador take care of us when one of our boys got a really bad nosebleed after riding The Beast a couple of years ago. He stayed with us in the restroom, made sure we were taken care of, and then even gave us a free front of the line pass for our family after all was okay. These are the types of interactions that guests remember. If the ambassadors are truly gone, a piece of what makes Kings Island special, at least for my family, is now gone. A very sad day.

Extra sad about these being gone after listening to the podcast. I cannot imagine the experience had they been placed on the Flight Commander pad.

Dollywood has often been know to extend hours "day of" based on attendance. KI needs to be able to respond more quickly. I get closing early, but last Friday December 8 (with almost 2 hr waits for train) should've definitely been oushed to a 11 pm close. Im a little confused why this week of daily ops (with mostly decent looking weather) isn't set for 4pm opens and 11 close at least Friday and Saturday for the last 2 nights before Christmas.
What time did you do the train with a 2 hour wait? We were there that night as well. Watched the parade in Coney by the arcade then went to the train. Waited 10 minutes.
With that said, I am not disagreeing with you at all. I totally would love to see extended ours, particularly with the nicer weather we have been having this year.

This way it will encourage people instead to do the decorating cookies or buy fudge or some other treat (being sarcastic but it could be their thought process too LOL).
Very true. We typically do the cookie decorating, however, this year is should have been called "Decorate a Rock" with Mrs. Claus.

Completely ridiculous charging and additional $7.99 for dessert. It's a freaking buffet. I'm cool with limiting 1 dessert per person, but not charging extra.

Was there a noticeable increase in the amount of lights this weekend?
Definitely, especially in Adventure Port.

We enjoyed the Turkey as well Friday night. Missed the hushpuppy stuffing this year.

They started scanning guests in at 530 and holding up by the tower!

Just saw on the passholder FB page, the special food offerings at Grain & Grill and Chicken Shack have been removed from the Dining Plan. More tricks from KI…

The thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that they did not let anyone into the park until 6pm. No preshow at all. I was in line since 5:46 and didn't get into the park until 6:11.
Yep. Totally agree. We pulled into the lot at 545 and I figured we’d be good to get up and scan in pretty quickly. We scanned in about 610.
The new haunt (alien) is pretty decent. However, the line was HORRIBLE. There is about 3 minutes in between groups due to the pre show, rules, etc. We were 2 1/2 queues back in the line and it took an hour.
Also agree about the PG-13-ness of the atmosphere. I mean, when you have a family with a dad carrying a 1 year old through a haunted attraction, that says it all.

Didn't want to start the 2023 Winterfest thread just for this, but prices for the Igloo's this year are (based on the night) $225, $285, or, wait for it...$325.
On a positive not, hot chocolate refills are back down to $1 for additional nights.

Camp Snoopy Construction Updates

I was reiterating that the park has been pretty silent, and then after Ryan and Don discussed this on the episode, not much later the park comes out with this video.
