  1. Slash the price of tickets is correct. Saying slash the price off tickets would remove all price from the tickets Compare "slash the ear of Van Gough" to "slash the ear off Van Gough"..... in which instance would his ear, or a portion of, remain?
  2. Planet Snoopy rides were open last nite after 9:00....at least 9:45 when I walked thru
  3. Adventure Port is very good, for what budget they had and late timing of it --- a needed improvement for a previously neglected section of the Park. Cargo Loco is fun and the Adventure Express upgrade is nice. Sol Spin has a long wait at times but "ok". DB painting, shoehorned between weather and park opening, expect them to resume in Late Aug Sept during weekday downtime I believe CP does not have the 'drop them off' issue (being more isolated) as much as KI did so maybe that's why the Chaperone Policy is not used there
  4. You can't use CPI to adjust for construction inflation, it is simply the wrong metric. Intimidator would have cost $31 Million in 2020, which was more than Orion.
  5. Inflation Rate spot on to what? FWIW 2015 $30 million ->>> $32.7 million in 2020 (for Fury) is very close to the calculation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm (+/- $33 Million computed) Using the ENR Construction Cost Index (which probably underestimates the 30% steel increase for the steel-heavy Orion project), $30 million in 2015 is more likely $37.5 million in 2020.
  6. You can't use the CPI inflation index to compute inflation in construction. Long-term construction cost inflation is normally about double consumer price index (CPI).
  7. Adventure Express Map Discovery.......
  8. Judging by this, we should have Adventure Port open on June 19th: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/new-in-2023/adventure-of-a-lifetime
  9. Fla weather is a little different than Ohio in February (...and March...and April). You will need it to be above 50 degrees IIRC to paint steel if you want it to last
  10. The 24 seat model has a capacity of 360 people/hour, considering 4 minutes per cycle = 15 cycles per hour x 24. (Compare to Invertigo @ 850 riders per hour)
  11. There is a crane currently on the RR tracks.... wonder if its just trimming trees?
  12. Seems like there is a 3rd ride or something back there: S
  13. Good weather + Columbus Day weekend + some company was there too
  14. If its major, this work could be for something opening in 2024. It stands to reason that some of the firms mentioned on the NOC could be already contracted for work that is ongoing or recently completed.
  15. Information about NOC's: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-1311.04 "Improvements" is a defined term and involves addition and alterations to real property. A mechanic's lien is a security interest in the title to property for the benefit of those who have supplied labor or materials that improve the property. Maintenance is excluded unless it improves the value of the property (examples would be painting a house or an addition of screen porch or other living areas. replacing a water heater or furnace would not as it merely prevents value from decreasing) ---------------------------- of the previous NOC's (rides, etal will be restaurants or other changes) 2019 - 2019,2020 and 2021 Additions and Modifications to Kings Island Park, i.e. covered work for Orion, demos etal 2018 - 2018,2019 and 2020 Additions and Modifications to Kings Island Park, i.e. covered work for Antique Autos, Demos, etal 2016 - 2016,2017 Additions and Modifications to Kings Island Park i.e. Covered work for Mystic Timbers, etal The current one definitely refers to 2022 and 2023 Additions and Modifications to Kings Island Park. Take that you'all for what you will
  16. FYI --- that's a (somewhat) temporary survey control point. typically to establish known points with establish coordinates and elevations. Control points are set around and to expand on a site to set up on to perform survey and mapping activities (also used to layout construction as well)
  17. Summer pass will be available in 2023, along with Gold/Platinum/Prestige/Prestige+: Cedar Point– Summer Pass is valid for admission from park opening through Labor Day. A summer Pass is not good for entrance to Cedar Point Shores. Kings Island-Summer Pass is valid from park opening through Labor Day. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/legal/season-pass-terms
