Looking forward to visiting Carowinds this summer (planning a Carowinds and KD trip in July, with a possible stop at BGW as well depending on time and finances)

I'm wondering how many people are aware that the software actually works well on mobile devices. I don't see much of an issue with the mobile experience myself.

Six Flags may want to buy SeaWorld
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I didn't notice that before I posted the link. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to get around their paywall. -
Six Flags may want to buy SeaWorld

Six Flags deal for SeaWorld unlikely, industry vet says: https://www.coaster-net.com/news/six-flags-deal-for-seaworld-unlikely-industry-vet-says -
Some kids do care. My oldest niece (who will be 3 in a few months) is obsessed with Snoopy. She's got several stuffed Snoopys and loves watching The Peanuts Movie, even though she's not old enough to understand most of it.

HoliWood Nights 2019: Airtime!
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I've been several years now and it's a lot of fun. Definitely one to go to. -
The theme for next year's HoliWood nights is Airtime, a takeoff on the movie Airplane!. More info at https://www.holidayworld.com/wp-content/uploads/HWN2019.pdf

I for one am looking forward to riding those gliders again. I had great fun snapping them when they were at Kings Island.

Ludlow Amusement Park
Oldiesmann replied to flightoffear1996's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I live about 10 minutes from where Chester Park was, and there's nothing left of it save for a street. The only real reference to it is the name of the Cincinnati Water Works complex that occupies part of the former Chester Park site (it's known as the Chester Park campus). There was another topic about Ludlow Lagoon a while back: -
Holiday World and Hersheypark still have them. I believe Knoebels does to some extent as well.

Here's more information directly from Kentucky Kingdom, courtesy of the Koaster Kids Facebook page...

Holiday World 2019
Oldiesmann replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It's kind of hard to do a Halloween event when your park is themed to holidays. I don't think it has anything to do with location, as Knoebels does a Halloween event and they're even more "middle of nowhere" than Holiday World is. -
Lots of changes coming to Holiday World next year... In addition, according to NewsPlusNotes: - New “Kids World” event for five weekends starting in mid-August - On-ride photos for Gobbler Getaway dark ride - Candy Cornucopia store and Dippin’ Dots Sundae Shoppe in the Thanksgiving section - Track improvements for The Voyage, the world’s second-longest wooden roller coaster - Additional Cabanas

I think this will be a great addition to the park, though I am wondering where exactly they're going to put it. Maybe in the back of the park next to their Larson Looper?

They're just doing that because KI did it. Holiday World did "#whatsintheshack" for HoliWood Nights this year (themed to Caddyshack this time) and it was nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

Wildwood Grove isn't specifically a kid's area though -

At the rate things are going I could see KI getting that in 2020 -
Not that this should surprise anyone, but KI has once again won the Golden Ticket Award for Best Kids' Area.
