Horrible to see the stare of things. I think new management and a revitalized park is very much needed.

Still confused as to why it would mention 2022 if it’s for this years Haunt, though.

Here’s how I look at it: In 2017-2018 the United States experienced it’s most intense spike in Flu related deaths. Covid killed over 300,000 people in 2020. You can deny the vaccine, but you can’t deny dead people. Asking for a proof of vaccination or a negative test result isn’t a violation of anyone’s rights. I wish every park, concert, sporting event would require this.

As long as the quality of the food justifies its being open. I’ve had the opportunity to eat up there and it’s truly a beautiful place. That said, I’m fearful that it would quickly devolve into the buffet style offerings we’ve seen previously. I would love to see it, though!

The park has been operating dark rides in one form or another since 1972. I don’t think it’s a matter of them not being able to afford it as much as it is not wanting to spend the money. As mentioned elsewhere, the Enchanted Voyage was a pretty sizable investment when the park opened. So, a dark ride with actual, physical props and sets is certainly possible. That being said, I think it’s unlikely given Cedar Fair’s attitude towards dark rides in general. Which is shame.

Wouldn’t hurt to announce something to excite people about next season to buy season passes. An announcement about a 50th anniversary celebration without any major details probably won’t cut it for some.

No brainer. German Food in Oktoberfest. I went to Goettafest last night and saw a bunch of fun German dishes. I know they tried out some German menu items in the Beer Garden a handful of years back, but it was overpriced and tasted awful. I’d be so down with a Goetta restaurant, too.

Couldn’t agree more. If the theming was there to begin with you’d think there’d be a plan for upkeep! It’s an unfortunate situation that tends to repeat itself.

I’m sure it costs money to use those songs. Maybe that’s it?

It’s not a Giga bathroom if it’s under 300 feet regardless of the height of the drop.

Per their social media channels, the park has announced that the third party carnival rides previously slated for Ballon Glow will not be appearing due to a scheduling conflict. If only there was a way they could have rides available to the public during large events like these… It’s almost as if they make these decisions using a blindfold and a dart board.

Very unpopular opinion I’m sure, but I have to say Orion. It’s a helluva ride don’t get me wrong. It’s just way too similar to Diamondback for my taste. Still a fun time, but it’s just not all that earth shattering as some claim.

I miss the sound of the station announcements/Indiana Jones theme in the cue for AE.

I never bought the “water park focus” excuse, personally. I hope the event is successful and we’ll see the return of the dry side of the park in some form in the future.

Good times at Super Bowl. The current “atmosphere” is part of the charm. Haha. Hoping for lots of future success!
