  1. Made it out to the park today! Lineup at the parking lot gate has already started as of 8:40am. Looking to be a great day for rides! If anyone happens to sees me in the park today feel free to come say hi!
  2. HA too bad you're late to the punch, as soon as I saw I got blocked I swung back with my ALT and called them out for blocking me for a harmless and non profane meme about their shortcomings. Honestly the best part is that blocking me accomplished nothing because the meme still shows up for every single other person who looks in the comments of that post lol
  3. Wow, simply amazing what extents the park will go to not just address the schedule change. They seriously just blocked my main twitter account for reposting the drake meme in their comments section of the food post. Yeeeeeeeesh obviously someone at the park is pretty sour about this one lmao
  4. I mean I genuinely dont believe anyone was complaining, more a group of people discussing possibilities and speculating as to why things are the way they are, which can be very entertaining, its not as if anyone is directly dragging the park for reducing the hours, more so that we wanna know whats going on to cause them to backpedal from stating originally that they didn't have staffing issues as they reported on "fight night", to now stating that they do have staffing issues and need to reduce hours because of it. I mean its clear this was a sudden shift as the park even tweeted a day before they posted the schedule change responding to someone saying, "Hours have not changed. Our next operating day is this Friday." The seriously unfortunate side affect of the parks schedule change is that night rides wont be able to happen, nor fireworks, nor the area 72 DJ dance party, so a change in schedule this sudden does has more of an impact on any single guest beyond the two hour reduction on in park time, so it can be understandable why people are disappointed that the park isn't giving the courtesy to guests to communicate that changes have been made to things that they may have originally planed to come to the park to enjoy. While the park is entitled to hold their operating schedule to whatever standards and policies they want as they're a business and that's how this works, its generally just expected that the park communicates with guests about things such as this, especially when it impacts features that would normally come with the price of admission. TLDR: People aren't upset that there has been a reduction in hours due to staffing, they're upset the park didn't properly communicate that the change happened at all.
  5. man that's really cool you got an update a day before the affected days are *facepalm* I'm on a google pixel 3xl and haven't been pushed any updates yet Goes to show that plenty of guests aren't gonna have their apps updated in time. Guess we should all grab some popcorn and watch the show ensue at guest services lmao
  6. Sheesh i mean even a news station can get the information out before the park can. There's definitely going to be a lot of angry guests at guest services come Friday Ironically the latest tweet reply from the parks Twitter says there isn't a change in operating hours and was tweeted a day before they changed operating hours *facepalm*
  7. I feel bad that the dance event is being held off on as well, feels exactly like what i saw as a concern someone mentioned previously, KI knee jerk reacting to the events that they implied were not the result of staffing issues, rather a fluke event. Honestly I'm disappointed that they all so suddenly dropped this change without any immediate communication so far, because it affects plans that may already be in place for some and others who cannot rebook, reschedule, or cancel. Personally I was planning a family trip to Kings Island for the 5th and 6th but i am now reconsidering this and possibly going to another park now. Truthfully the back pedaling that's kinda obviously going to come from the park now with these reductions in park operating hours for the whole of attending patrons is frustrating and unfair and could be seen as even more of an overstep than having a chaperone policy implemented. My own parents have been regular visitors of the park since the 80's, and I've continued to share their interest in the park as I grew up, and more recently it's disappointing that issue like these have begun to crop up and i wish the park would just approach it proactively, ensuring the least amount of impact on guests. It's already been stated that an increased police presence would be present in the park, so, why go so far as to rush schedule changes, especially if the park maintains the standpoint that they are not expieriencing issues with staffing and furthermore with it being this close to the days that these changes will affect.
  8. So, its not really anything scarily important, and I totally didn't even ever think to mention it here until now, but I visited the park with a group of friends on October 17th this year, when being curious and checking out the SOB area, the original entrance plaza and the ramp entrance that leads to the station that usually has a padlocked gate was just kind of wide open, padlock off the gate, gate wide open, didn't even cross my mind to get a photo of it because when I saw it open I immediately found a park employee to inform them that it was just open. My best guess is whoever is/was doing that survey work relating to the station left the gate open accidentally, the employee closed the gate after they saw it though So yeah, nothing serious but I figured you all would get a kick out of it lol
  9. That was quick, I managed to get mine but man, those went quick, sorry to anyone who missed out!
  10. I would definitely be the guy to make my car a nice sized coffee table lol
  11. It's such a beautiful structure, id be hard pressed to see them actually remove it, I mean it can always be retrofitted to whatever they want to put there
  12. Ha, because Cedar Fair won't let them spend any more money, even to remove it (Total sarcasm btw)
  13. I can't bite on the "they can't get the parts arrow isn't around anymore" if a part breaks any decent sized CNC manufacturing milling firm will produce a part for them, they don't even need the drawings, the seriously only need the part itself to measure from. Not to mention chance does arrow re-tracking, if they wanted to keep Vortex going they very well could. Something else is up, when we'll actually find that out is yet to be seen
  14. i feel like possibly no? I mean its already flight themed, sure, extraterrestrial flight, but i mean,
  15. THE DUDE DOING A LITTLE JIGGY HAHAHA, im pretty sure i know him? i see him at concerts in Indy all the time. EDIT: at least someone who looks really similar
  16. probably will go live at 9:00-9:30, give it enough time to fix the kinks, and let everyone get in the stream
  17. OOOO spicy, the fact that it timeout error-ed would, as an HTML guy, probably mean its a site page that has been created and is on the server but is user/ip locked at the moment, then again, take that with grain of salt it could just be bad code
  18. you are correct sir! As pictured thats a truck crane which im sure they will use to get a start on the lower to the ground construction, I.E. see amusement insiders updates on Yukon, This truck crane will be used to build the tower crane we saw delivered earlier, they will most likely have a third tower crane on the way for the very tall portions as the current tower crane doesn't seem like its capable, unless its a modular and they havent sent the rest of the tower pieces to reach that height as they arent needed just yet
  19. same here man! its been a great time, i love this community, and now i plan i actually being active a lot more throughout the year!
  20. heck yeah! anyone else think they're bringing over a piece of track to the park for the announcement?
  21. at this point just them paying a couple actors to look like military dudes directing people away from the wall would suffice for keeping the feeling going
  22. i have a feeling in thew next couple days or so well be getting a "statement video" from the park teasing when they're going to be ready to reveal their next project sequence X or such
  23. yeah!, im sitting on the page enjoying the show of the number going up real fast!
  24. honestly valid 100 is easy for us to do alone, gotta make sure everybody sees it
  25. Ooooooo comments are showing further teases at the theme! Connections to FOF EDIT: 23 years ago today is the opening of FOF, give a few days but still!
