Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
jimlaheyscar replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
CDC has decided today vaccinated people can indeed take off their masks inside and out. And don't worry about distancing. Live your life. -
The pros and cons of a park offering a fast pass
jimlaheyscar replied to ldhudsonjr's topic in Kings Island
Physically where do these extra people go? I get they might spend more money (except food, they are already at cap with hour waits), but then you run into a space issue. Can't just drop another 5 registers in most of their gift shops and have twice as many people shopping. Space isn't there. So, they are just mindless walking the midway doing nothing. Just not seeing how virtual queues really help except in one off/rare situations. Orion opening weekend or two, great idea. All rides in the park? No way. -

I don't think any sort of virtual queue is coming any time soon to most places. That creates another problem of where do these people go. If thousands aren't standing in lines, where are they? -

I agree that they should price it higher and sell less. Not suggesting that to make more money. Keep profit the same but then you have less people in FL. Less people filling up seats each train. Everyone not paying waits a bit less. Thus, the customer satisfaction of a majority of guests is improved. -

As of 4/26, a few numbers from the CDC…. Over 95 million fully vaccinated 9245 documented “breakthrough” cases 2525 asymptomatic 835 hospitalized 132 deaths. So once vaccinated… 0.01% chance of getting it. 0.002% chance of having it and not knowing it 0.0009% chance of being hospitalized 0.0001% chance of dying from it. -

Won't be hard because it typically won't be enforced. -

You really think the park is going to forbid you from wearing a mask? -
Ad keeps popping up in the KI app with dates July 17 - Aug 1.

Good work Cedar Fair.

I think they have since removed the negative test option. If it's anything like Magic Mountain, it's all just marketing anyway. No one at MM cares where you are from. Some great rules they have come up with out there. Great leaders in CA. -
Soak City will be open but with reservations
jimlaheyscar replied to mikejenkins1's topic in Kings Island
No way they are selling Fast Lane again and not filling all trains. I think you're safe here. -
Controversial opinions that'll get you punched by a KI fan
jimlaheyscar replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Kings Island
Parks would have been open a lot more last year and this year if they had. -

In other park news, Dollywood has moved to masks only while indoors and no more temp checks, effective today. -
No indications yet that reservations will be required. Capacity wasn't an issue last year. I doubt they hit capacity more than once or twice, if that.

I think it's almost a given KI will sell daily FL soon.

Man, parks have been slammed this spring. It's great to see business booming. I think it's going to be a big year with lots of busy days at parks across the country. -
The ticket booth at the park.

Everywhere here has them. Kroger, Walgreens, Publix, walmart. The shot is free no matter where you go. Sounds like you should just take care of yourself and sign up somewhere else. -

Probably just needed some weight and that's an easiest way to load the train? I'd be really surprised if they aren't using all the seats this year. -
Announced today. Nice. Further details will be released soon.

Upgrade price is the price of Platinum minus price of your current pass. Platinum passholders do get a discount. Use code PASS to see these. Plat also gets in earlier at CP.

Over 21% now vaccinated. Summer and fall are going to be busy, busy, busy at every park in the country. -

Nope. That was pretty much a Cedar Fair exclusive.
