Does the All Park Passport cover parking at your non-home park?
DeltaFlyer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
We are heading there this weekend. My first time in several years (pre-Wildwood Grove) and her first time ever. It does feel nice to spend the money someplace that genuinely cares about the guest experience. -
Does the All Park Passport cover parking at your non-home park?
DeltaFlyer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
That tipping point was this year for me. Last year, my wife and I both had Platinum passes with the dining plan, drink plan, and all-park, all-season Fast Lane; easily $3,000 between us. I waited a long time before deciding one way or the other, but budget cuts, devaluation of our passes, safety concerns, unknowns due to the merger, and a complete lack of park communication are just some of the reasons we came to this conclusion. Instead, we got Dollywood passes for the first time. This will be the first year I won't have a pass since I was a child, which does make me sad. Unfortunately, I can't imagine my choice will make much of a dent. Unless a large percentage of the passholder base follows suit, nothing will change. -

Looks like this will be the 208m Rebound model of the family boomerang. https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=15119 -
Camp Snoopy Arrives in 2024 at Kings Island

Very pleased with this! A family boomerang will fit very nicely. -
Banshee, Invertigo, Drop Tower, Congo Falls all closed right now. Skyflyer, Bat, and Delirium still open. AZ is a ghost town compared to usual. Hard to believe that many things could be be down just for maintenance…

I just tried the French dip. Ehh. About the size of a hotdog, and it’s premade and wrapped in foil. Very salty. I can tell it would have been good if it hadn’t been sitting so long and wasn’t a little soggy. The Au Jus was okay. Maybe I just got it on a bad day.

Guest injured by phone on Maverick
DeltaFlyer replied to disco2000's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I’ve only lost my phone once- this past Saturday on i305. It was secured in a buttoned cargo pocket and still managed to get free. Has never happened to me on Maverick- with similar restraints. I’ve also been decked in the face by a phone on Millie- but that was someone who was trying to record. -
That, and Huss isn’t exactly the most reliable manufacturer anymore… see: Timber Tower at Dollywood.

Fury 325 Support Failure
DeltaFlyer replied to Oldschool75's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
On Diamondback, there is an additional footing at the base of the first drop connecting two existing footings, and an additional one added near the bottom of the second drop. Orion: there is one footing that has been enlarged at the helix, appears to be #C102L (or in that area… hard to see) Another at the lowest point before the helix has been extended outward toward Racer, looks like #C85. Last one I saw extended was #C54, the lowest point exiting the turnaround. Support numbers are taken from: -

Not sure if I have seen anyone else here mention it, but Orion had some large additional footings added last off season. Take a look next time you ride, you can see the different shades of concrete where they were added. -
I got some mega spins in Cacao Beans and Fish Oil yesterday.

I’ve always wondered what was in the room above the two platforms. There’s a couple AC units up there, which as a child I always liked to imagine that was the park’s “weather office” where the calls to close rides for lightning came from. I’m sure it’s just cell and communications equipment.

I got the same meal as you yesterday. Agree with all of the above. I had this exact meal the day G&G opened, and the difference between now and then is night and day. The meat is colder, dryer, and less flavorful than just a few weeks ago, and the potatoes have less sauce and are undercooked now. The bread seemed like it was just uncut Larosa’s bread sticks, though it was the warmest of the three items.
