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.

I was planning a trip next Saturday, and I want to make sure Im not trippin, because if I am reading the calendar correctly, it says that the park doesnt open at all until 7pm next Saturday? If thats the case, I will postpone until Oct 7th.
Correct. Private event until 7, and then the park opens to the public for Haunt at 7. I would definitely 100% postpone.

Pass Perks strikes again. Thought I was getting something Haunt related, then saw the item and expiration date.

If this is truly a policy change, I wonder if it will be true for Coney BBQ as well...

Wow.
He is incredibly thin-skinned and immature. He clearly cannot handle any criticism. How is this man-child in a high-profile communications role like this?
By the way, this is my new favorite thread ever.
Also a really bad PR look when you block the head of the FB Passholder Group for asking a simple question. A group that only has something like 55,000 members.

Did anyone take part in the survey they sent out Monday? I just saw it today, and they filled their quota so it’s closed now.
I did. It was super short, asking about thoughts on Grain and Grill.

Gonna call my shot : Early Ride time eliminated for 2024. Restaurants close at 7pm on weekdays,
Haunt from 6-11pm, Winterfest rides close at 9pm, close rides at 9:30 except for Beast and Pass Perks quietly goes away.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI'll one up you: Gonna call this will be my last year with passes.
One thought I had today about The Racer, anyone else find it interesting that the weekday Racer shutdown happened right after Don H. departed KI?

^and I am strongly considering them not having my money after this season. We are a family of 4 with Prestige, Dining, and Drink plans. So, like $2000.

Was it good and what about portion size.
I had the bowl. I did notice the excess liquid, but without the tortilla it was fine. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It was super tender. If you enjoy pot roast, you should enjoy this. Portion wise, they really dug the scoop in and get me a heaping scoop. Very pleased with the portion.

Anyone had the steak recently at Enrique’s? Had it last night and it is definitely a different cut of meat. Now, don’t get me wrong, it was very good. Had a pot roast taste, like it was chuck roast. Guessing it’s a cheaper cut than what they were using before.
On another note, they must have been out of the smaller bowls as they were using the large round bowls.

So assuming the food truck is a no go this year at the park......
It was actually at Timberwolf last weekend (Saturday at least) during Spirit Song. Serving Mexican fare. Unfortunately, not on the dining plan.

Oh that’s nice. Here’s your Prestige Pass Enhanced Pass Perk. Spend more money.

Maybe the profits will allow them to bring the large water cups back to the lounge.

Went over to Soak City to get lunch today. The lounge isn’t too bad. They actually have some nice tables at the couches. Usual chips and water. 2 coolers there today, both plain.

Rode Cargo Loco today. Fun time. The only negative I have is the lack of shade. That line and ride are going to be absolutely brutal this summer.

that's great to hear - my own kids get annoyed with my "on the path, please" to them all the time. It's really a parent issue at this point - kids will be kids. It's OUR JOB as parents and supervisors to teach them to respect the investments that the park makes. Sadly most adults with kids either just don't care, or worse, actively encourage it to get the 'great picture'. HINT - Timmy isn't THAT cute, and he really isn't cute "drankin' out of that giant beer mug in that ther planter" so get you darn kid out of the plants! LOL
Agreed. The worst offenders are typically the encouraging parents. The worst example I can think of is the giant troll at Haunt/Winterfest. Every time I walk by there are parents having their kids climb over the fence to stand by the troll and have pictures taken.

So we have had the crates and barrels out for what, a few days. Witnessed multiple guests today using them as their personal seats and rest zones. I’m not talking about the ones right by the walkway. The ones up in some mulch under some trees. #peoplesuck

Anyone interacted with Kevin at the lounge? He is a great guy!! Truly worked hard to make sure everyone was having a fantastic day. Even greeted my wife and I by name after our 2nd time in the lounge today.

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…
