It's gonna be a water park addition that replaces T3, it's prime location for such.

I thought the portions were the perfect amount of food.

Ironic given its designer and its history.

Banshee is having very slow operations today. Spent 10 minutes on the brake run on my ride.

Thoughts on the Skyline operations-
First, it is well staffed for the small menu they have, just coneys, ways, salads and fries, simple stuff. 4 on table is pretty adequate. However, they could REALLY crank food out better if they did stations instead of like an assembly line. They'll get better with practice, and they are doing quite well for the 3rd weekend, but a few small changes in operations could really improve their efficiency.
Also, even compared to the Skyline I work at where we're generous with cheese portions, they use a TON. I also like the hot dogs better than mine. Got coneys today that were of good quality. They do need to open the buns up and put a bit more chili on coneys, but not drastically off what's done at the outside restaurants.

Action Zone is fairly action-less.

WindSeeker is still playing Haunt music, just heard music from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Grain and Grill- A+. Had the shrimp, and while it needs to be a tad more tender, it's still good. Potatoes and focaccia bread also good. Light on the stomach compared to other park food.

Diamondback has the bottom of about every drop painted now. I think the new paint sections also feel slightly smoother.
EDIT- I also see that Backlot has had its trains repainted.

My hot take is that The Vortex plot will NOT be filled with a Mack coaster, but a launched Intamin as CF's relationship will be repaired after TTD re-imagined opens.
How do you know Intamin is re-doing TTD?

Isn't there a whole surfing club in Ohio dedicated to riding and being good at this?

And nothing of value was lost.

If I remember correctly, and this is all allegedly; PTC preferred the cars to face forwards instead of backwards because of more stress being applied to the track.
Which, I don't completely get because I did ride recaR and backwards Racer 75, and it didn't feel much rougher/smoother than the forwards side.
Now, I do think that GG and GCI said that Timberliners and Millennium Flyers respectively can be made to go backwards.
Hmm....now I want backwards Mystic Timbers.

Why can't KD and their fans be better at Grizzly updates like KI was when Beast got retracked?

I just looked at the hours of all the parks I'm going to, and I'm not getting a lot of night rides. All but KI and CP close at 9 or earlier on weekdays and KD is the only other one I get night rides as I'm going on a Sunday.

Not with CF owning the park, they made the decision to return it forward.
That and PTC kinda preferred them go forwards only.

Wrong musical.
Uh, mine's more on topic.

And then these other 2 groups started snapping their fingers and doing weird synchronized dances in the parking lot it was weird.

What happened to the other blue Racer train?

So I may be getting completely spoiled on the wood coasters I'm riding this summer that have had recent retracking-
Beast, Racer, Grizzly, Shivering Timbers, Wolverine Wildcat, Phoenix, Twister
If I somehow find that any of the GCI's or Ravine Flyer II got retracked, I may reach a state beyond spoiled.

I also now see a lot of teens hanging out near the entrance soliciting older visitors to trying to get them to be the 'chaperone'.

This is kinda gross:
They just landed an interview on Fox 19 in Cincy, too.
Also, what could possibly go wrong?
Also also, wouldn't those doing this be kinda opening themselves up to liabilities if the kids under them cause an incident?
My head hurts.

I wonder how they'll put out this announcement for the parks yet to open...
NEW CHAPERONE POLICY KI 2023

If you were at the park this past Saturday, it was also Music In The Park Day where there were a lot of school music groups performing competitions, so many of the teen groups were from them.
