  1. Harmonized. That sounds so lovely and appealing I get the warm and fuzzies. Count me in. :)

     

    I know you're joking, but since I love edumacatin' folks -- it's called "harmonized" because the provincial government decided to combine the provincial and federal sales taxes in to one single tax.   ;)

  2. ^^ Then definitely not worth the risk on only 4 platinums. Was hoping to save $30 per pass to pay for the passport cards to actually go to CW. Do they have that VAT Europe has or is a special amusement park tax?

     

     

     

     

    We pay a lovely 13% "Harmonized Sales Tax" (HST) on almost all purchases in Ontario. 

  3. I don't want my park time interrupted by juvenile jokes/noise while I'm visiting seldom seen friends, talking or listening or thinking.

    This reminds me of my last trip to NJFTP. The ride op on The Dark Knight was quite literally yelling inane Joker impressions into the mic. If he were any louder people in the queue probably would have suffered hearing damage...

    I appreciated the recorded spiels at Hershey. Professional and classy.

  4. Canada's Wonderland is in Canada.

    Regulatory requirements are different.

     

    Sure, but other Cedar Fair parks, including Kings Dominion, Carowinds, and Cedar Point, have similar lists on their websites. My point still remains.

  5.  It seems like the biggest screwup on Cedar Point's part was combining OSU day and "preview" night.  If there are going to be opening day jitters, they will just be exacerbated by huge crowds. And I'm sure the crowds are even worse with a new coaster opening.

  6. KI doesn't have to respond to KK or HW. Quite frankly, nothing short of "Disney's Cincinnati Adventure" would be something KI has to respond to. Under its current ownership, Kentucky Kingdom will never be a viable threat to Kings Island. Holiday World, at one time, was headed down the path of being a genuine threat to to consistently poach visitors from Indy and Louisville. Now...

    Resting on your laurels is never a good business strategy...
