  1. So I bought 2 Cedar Point President's day tickets at a great price.   From what I read the tickets expired on 6/30/24.

    Well I loaded and pulled up my Cedar Point app and found the tickets on there.

    However it says they are good thru 09/08/24 and I called Cedar Point to confirm and it is true.

    So if you got the tickets and want to hold off till later in the season you can.

    I am pretty sure passes can be linked to multiple web accounts.  It makes no difference who actually purchased them or pays for them.  At some point in the past they were added to both accounts and never removed.

    The only oddity I have seen is I see no way to see the all park passport add-on, and in the Cedar Point app it lists my season long Fast Lane and the Kings Island app does not.

    Nope.   I could see my son on mine but not other way around.  NEVER been linked

  3. so I have the new app and see myself and my daughters pass on my pass list, that is ok.

    However, my oldest son has it and he has himself, his wife, me and my daughter's pass on his pass list??????

    What?  He has bought their passes for years and lives across town at other address.

    Anyone else seeing this oddity?

     

  4. My daughter and I just stopped by today to visit.

    Lawn area is nice but lots of head stones need help and fence is a mess.

    Didn't there used to be a sign on the fence showing its name?

    Looks like a prime Eagle Scout project to help make it look much nicer.

    So is the property owned by Kings Island?

    Who maintains it?

    Looks like the menus have been released. Is it me or does it seem more standard season options than holiday options? I feel like there used to be more specialty meals. 

    Where did you find this map?

    I’m shocked that this hasn’t been made into a big deal. 
     

    Kings Island is now selling an interactive “Wonder Wand” for Winterfest. This wand is almost like a mix of Magic Band + and the Harry Potter wands.

    When purchasing the wand for $29.99 (season pass discounts do apply), you are equipped with a map of various locations through the the park where the wand will interact.

    There are three types of interactions:

    1. Unique Locations

    2. Glow Zones

    3. Show interactions

    The map also lists five “Snowman locations” as “coming soon.” No word on what these will be yet.

    Unique Locations

    These interact directly with the wand, similar to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter wands at Universal Studios.

    Some of these locations include:

    1. Antique Autos - The light up plastic statues flicker on and off. It seems like it was supposed to play music but doesn’t.

    2. Snoopy’s Dog House - Woodstock lights up and Christmas lights turn on and off while playing music.

    3. Mystic Timbers - Truck lights up playing Jingle Bells on the horn. 

    Glow Zones:

    This was similar to Magic Band +. The wand will light up in the colors of the area. For example, in the Ice Princess area (the old Vortex path), the wand lights up blue and white. Similarly, it turns red and white in Candy Cane Lane. Part of the pattern is the variation of the light colors as well as periodically shooting bubbles.

    Show Interactions

    Another similarity to Magic Band + is that the wand will interact with certain shows. For both the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Cool Yule Christmas, the wand will periodically sync up with and match the lighting design language. 

    This effect was particularly well-exhibited during the Tree Lighting countdown.

    Additionally, I was told that it specifically interacts with the Jack Frost float in the Winterfest Wonderland Parade. While true, I believe that the point of having it interact with that particular float was because it is in approximately in the middle of the parade. For about 80% of the viewing time, the wand was synced with the lights in the floats. This includes pretty precise syncing as the floats changed color.

    The wands are available for $29.99 at the hut under the Eiffel Tower and at the night vending carts. With this, you can enjoy Winterfest in a whole new way! Check it out for yourself!

    The attachments dont work and show as unavailable.... Can that get fixed?
