Christmas Nights of Lights- Coney Island
Oldiesmann replied to CoastersRZ's topic in Coney Island Central
Finally made it out there tonight after work. It was surprisingly busy for a Monday. When I got there around 7, traffic was backed up almost to Gate 2 (the standard auto gate), and it took me nearly an hour to get from there to the entrance of the lights display (most of that time was spent weaving back and forth through the parking lot). The display itself was well done and had a great selection of music, with some interesting choices I wouldn't have expected. Overall it's well worth checking out. Overall it takes about 30 minutes to get through the display itself, not counting the time you spend sitting in traffic to get there... -
Winterfest Then till Now - Opening Night Info
Oldiesmann replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I'm thoroughly enjoying WinterFest. I didn't go to the one in 2005 and am barely old enough to remember the original (I remember the tower lights, that it was really cold, and that there was an ice show in Festhaus, but that's about it), so this is mostly a new experience for me. The park did an amazing job with decorating, and I'm even more impressed with the sign changes - not just a cheap plastic sign taped over an existing sign, but full size custom signs that look like they've been there all along. I'm planning on returning next weekend after work to catch more shows and see what else I haven't seen yet. -
You would be correct. The video description on YouTube is "Introduction to Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay's Vlog! New videos coming soon!"

Winterfest Then till Now - Opening Night Info
Oldiesmann replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I'll be going to Winterfest on Saturday since I get off work at 5:45. Can't wait! Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk -
I tested it out by adding a buffet ticket to my cart. The processing fee is only $0.99.

KI Computer Systems that create the KI Best Day
Oldiesmann replied to KI Fan75's topic in Kings Island
For info about ride controls and such, get in touch with the folks from Irvine Ondrey Engineering (http://www.irvineondrey.com and https://www.facebook.com/IrvineOndreyEngineering). Their website even says that "your questions about attractions controls are more than welcome" on their FB page. I don't know how much they do in the way of controls for flat rides but they do a lot with coasters, including Mystic Timbers. -
I haven't been through a drive-through lights display in years. As a kid we always went to the one at Sharon Woods, and one year we went to the one at Pyramid Hill in Hamilton. Will have to try and make it out to Coney's this year.

On a somewhat related note, Christmas Nights Of Lights will be returning this year. It starts a week from tonight (the 10th) and runs through January 1st. http://coneyislandpark.com/event/christmas-light-show/

Closure of Dinosaurs Alive and opening of lots of land.
Oldiesmann replied to upstop's topic in Kings Island
It might also give me incentive to check out Dinos at CP next year (and/or Dorney if I end up there again - haven't really decided) -
The reason for that rule is that the admins and mods want to remain in good standing with the park, and also because KI prohibits employees from disclosing information that hasn't already been made public. It's easier to just deny all non public information than to pick and choose what's acceptable.

From WGRR's Facebook page: Tapatalk users: https://www.facebook.com/103.5WGRR/ First post is a video of the haunted wedding. The second post is the winning couple along with WGRR morning show hosts Chris O'Brien and Janeen Coyle on Mystic Timbers.

Or the zoo for that matter, with lots of Christmas lights visible now...

Found a mistake... On the "Attractions" page for Winterfest, the picture shown for Peanuts 500 is not the version that's at Kings Island.

I'm planning to spend most of my time on Closing Day in Planet Snoopy, though we'll likely make it over towards DA at some point because my niece loves Monster (at least while the ride is in motion - she's not a big fan of sitting in the air while another part of the ride is unloaded). It'll be interesting to see what they do with the area and if they do anything special for Winterfest since that would be a great area to jazz up for the holidays (even though there's less than a month between the end of regular operations and the start of Winterfest). Also, last I heard there was still a haunt in one half of Action Theater so I don't see that going anywhere anytime soon. Otherwise they probably would have demolished it when they stopped showing the dino film in there a couple years ago.

I believe that's how many times your content has been "liked", though I'm not sure how the new reactions thing fits into that. @malem or @Dane can probably explain it in more detail.

I'm not a Haunt person, but have vague memories of visiting the original Winterfest at least once as a kid. Looking forward to visiting Winterfest this season.

Speaking of renewals, if any of you signed up for the auto-renewal feature, keep an eye on your email. I got an email from them the other day saying they needed my billing info (I paid with PayPal last year so they didn't have my card info) and that I needed to sign the payment agreement thing. I did all that today and am good to go when it starts taking payments out for next year. It will automatically renew your drink and dining plans as well.

Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?

Mystic Timbers and Twisted Timbers connection
Oldiesmann replied to MaestroJr's topic in Kings Island
I doubt there's a connection, as the timeline for Twisted Timbers is earlier than that of Mystic Timbers. -
