So they will cut out the people that give them thousands of dollars of free advertising on a continual basis and treat them like crap. Solid business plan. I have stayed pretty quiet about being treated like this, even thinking I did something wrong. I have literally driven hours to and from Indianapolis to help support the park without riding a single ride while there. I don't own KIC, there is no reimbursement for gas or time. There it no hidden perk for me doing this other than loving the park and doing what I can to share my love with fellow enthusiasts. That is the same story for others too. I sure hope one day they can again see how much of an asset and support they have instead of just throwing it out the window.

QR Code on the wristband. My son was having issues with getting the QR code just right under the scanner. I am OK with the scanners, but it seems it is slowing the traffic down for queueing waiting on someone to get their wristband to scan.

https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog/2024/top-thrill-2-rider-safety-guidelines LOCKERS Working with the manufacturer’s recommendations, Top Thrill 2’s rider safety guidelines were revised after initial testing, resulting in our strict policy of loose articles not being permitted past the ride’s entrance. Due to the later revision, the integration of lockers into the queue, similar to those at Steel Vengeance, was not possible. We encourage riders to leave any loose articles with a non-rider. If you wish to rent a locker, they will be near the entrance for a nominal fee. These policies are in place for the safety of our Guests and Associates – and safety is our first priority. Thank you for adhering to these rider safety guidelines to ensure a safe and FUN ride. We look forward to seeing you on Top Thrill 2 this summer!

New this year in the FastLane scanners and the Fastlane KIOSK's around the park. I know it was touched on in the general discussions over the weekend, but wanted to give it its own thread for discussion. What do you think, like it, don't like it, and tell us why.

If you like blueberries and raspberries then you will want to give it a try.

The new KIOSK

Maybe we are spoiled by KI's wood coasters, but I agree that I found it to be a boring layout the first time I ever rode it.

I think the single use fast lane kiosks are enough.

I thought it was a little funny seeing these Planet Snoopy signs still up along the new path. Not exactly a big deal, and may still be addressed, but I do hope these get rethemed and painted as well. No reason to not repurpose them somehow.

Construction Update.

We have joked about it being its own thread for a few years. So here we go.

Double post Just saw Diamondback is down. Beast is also down.

It's a little busy.

It's open.

Yep, here now and off the menu totally already.

We got some of the jam during Winterfest. It did not last long. I love boysenberries!

Here are some quick Camp Snoopy picture update.

Amazing, mine got lost as well. The park must be disappointed that the two biggest contributors to KI web traffic didn't get their invites. Hopefully they can get that resolved before the next time.

A closer look at the fast lane scanners.

Why didn't you add 365 days in front of it then?

Planning complete:

Please use this thread to update wait times for the 2024 season! Please remember a ride going down is normal and it's okay to report, but please don't post "Riders are stuck on the lift hill of DB." A vague statement like that is not helpful and that is when the media starts calling the park. We hope you are excited to get the 2024 season started. This season we celebrate 4 different anniversary seasons. 10th for Banshee 15th for Diamondback 25th for Invertigo 45th for The Beast With the addition of Camp Snoopy and a new Vekoma roller coaster to ride later this Spring, it is sure to be a great season! The KIC Admin looks forward to seeing everyone at the park this season.

Taken on 10/28/23.

I wonder if Gene, who purchased IB, got it for one of his parks?
