But it’s so easy….

Don: “Check out my latest blog!” KIC: “This is great! Thanks Don!” SP Group: “Very neat! I didn’t know about this!” KI Comms: CTRL + C, CTRL + V

I don’t think the policy is to hire by groups. I think they hired River City because they know the right people, no disrespect - they’re awesome! Go ahead and audition! They will probably need a sax player. What’s the worst that can happen???

I bought the Boysenberry coffee. It ended up being about $18, pre-discount. Very steep, especially since it’s only half of the size of a normal bag of coffee, but I wanted to try it. I’ll report on here how it is.

New in the Sweet Spot! Knott’s Boysenberry stuff!

I didn’t see any problems with other wands being around, but there weren’t many out there. Remember you can “shoot” other wands and they’ll react. I don’t know of any other functionality outside of the park, but the manufacturer, Light Up Toys, advertises it as sort of a turn-key thing, so if they add it elsewhere, your wand may work there.

It’s the coolest thing that’s new for Winterfest this year that the park seemingly doesn’t want you to know about… but we have the scoop! Learn about the all-new interactive Winterfest Wonder Wand in the latest #TowerTopics!

^ That’s the 2023 version of your dad saying, “look it up” when you asked too many questions as a kid.

It’s working on my end. Is anyone else having an issue? Spoiler alert: Tomorrow’s Tower Topics may or may not recycle a lot of this footage anyway.

Had there not been this thread, or Don’s latest blog, would have this social post existed? My guess is no. Glad we all let them know about the product they sell.

A bit hard when it’s Reach Magazine.

:::Looks at photo::: ::Squints:: ::Looks again:: I know some people would rather be caught dead than actually out in the park, but don’t they know that a LOT has changed since the first year of WinterFest?

I feel like the seats want to kind of tilt you forward, which I find uncomfortable. Once the ride starts moving it does not adversely affect my experience.

Speaking of The Racer… Why was the Backward Racer turned around? Find out once and for all on the latest Tower Topics.

I mean you can ask him, or just listen to the Tower Topics that drops 11/29.

Without spoiling anything… There might be a speaker there who cohosts a podcast about Kings Island and is always willing to field any questions you have… ANY questions that you have.

Yeah, well, boy do I have a comeback for you! The fact that you think the patrons of Kings Dominion should get what was advertised to them when they made their purchasing decision is as adorable as it is predictable. So entitled…

Very cool! I also went there as a small child. It was Santa Claus Land. I don’t remember it. My parents told me that the appeal was that it was Christmas in the summer there. I think a lot of it was the shops and environment and it was much less about the rides. Interesting to see that the dive show has been around that long!

What have you heard? I was under the understanding that they moved on from the “over-promise and under-deliver” phase to the “sucker born every minute” phase.

When Don decided to leave?

More like, “Although we advertised bubbles, we will no longer be offering bubbles with the Winterfest Wonder Wand. Terms subject to change. No refunds.”

I noticed that too! That area looks great!

The fact that you want TWO turtle doves is as adorable as it is predictable. You’re so entitled

Certainly more. 40% more? I don’t know about that. I do believe that they bought 2 million lights; however, I think they threw away at least a million, which is part of the lifecycle of these things. Regardless, the park looks better than it ever has!

I'm going to go ahead and post this here for Chad's copy and paste convenience: https://themeparksbydon.com/new-wonder-wand-kings-islands-winterfests-hidden-gem/
