Don was always a good person to encounter at the park and will be missed as a park representative. (Hopefully we will still see him around the park in the future.) I like to tell my people where I work ----It sucks to lose good people but go be happy.--- Hopefully Don finds something that makes him as happy as KI did. (with less stress and less chaos.)

I was a little surprised that a lot of the winter projects weren't completed for opening weekend---but after thinking about it there are a few factors that could definitely cause some slowdowns in construction---Winterfest---pushed the availability of the areas back around two months from what is was a few years ago. Weather--- we had some ugly weather here and there. Construction issues---Supplies, equipment, workers (a lot of places are 10% or more short on workers. Like i tell my doctors and my mechanics---i want it Done Right---not right now. Later, Mark

We have gold passes and Platinum passes so is this a BROWN pass option?

Honda is supposedly there on September 11th

I still get "internal server error" on my phones (my primary phone---Iphone 8--- and my in the park phone ---galaxy j3--- I have my season pass on them but no tickets(i have my ticket in my email on both phones I reset my password on the computer with no luck,just now got "your email or password doesn't match our records" this is so frustrating. I LOVE TECHNOLOGY. Later, Mark P.S. I will be there for my 11:00 reservation regardless hopefully guest services can get me situated quickly

Thank you coaster sally for the response---I as many if not all of us need to visit KI and get to one of my "happy places" before I go crazy. No Supercross, no Indy(grand prix,500 and Brickyard) has got me stressed to no end---hopefully tomorrow will fix that. Later, Mark

I'm having the same issue---I can't find the health screening on the app. I have the "ticket"(my only reservation) in my email but don't want to drive 2 hours to be turned away. Please help. Later, Mark

Hey all---Didn't KI say last weekend was the last weekend for the ET for 2019? Maybe they are starting to hang the Winterfest lights or something. Hopefully we will get our cams back soon. Later, Mark

I frequently go to the park solo and am a single rider and if paired up with someone I generally talk to the person I am paired with and their corresponding group to feel it out and at times I have let my paired rider ride solo on the same train with their group if I get a wierded out vibe from them and then I ride the next train. I am generally talkative and friendly in line and don't care about getting paired but sometimes solo is the right choice. I know this sometimes throws people off that are counting pairs so that they can ride the same train as their group but what can you do? What I really dislike is when I am at Cedar Point at a ride like Giant Wheel and am kinda "forced" on some couple/group because I want to ride a "no single riders/single riders will be paired" ride.

I live in Rushville,In---about 20 miles to Greensburg/I-74 so around 80-90 miles.(I checked on my NYE trip---95 miles parking spot to parking lot) Later, Mark

Thanks for the reply. Later, Mark

Question--- Is the Firehawk layout the same as it was when it was X-Flight or has it been altered to fit it's current location? Were there any elements like turns, twists, hills, inversions, heights etc... added(probably not) or removed or altered to make it work where it is now? I'm not talking about raising or lowering footers or supports so it will fit in the different terrain elevation changes. Thanks in advance for the info, Mark

Oops

If this policy is still in effect in 2019 here is my idea on how I will deal with it---Not for everyone but for myself and some others it seems reasonable. First off I have a $20 Android Tracfone and I get a $100 1 year service card every year and that has enough data and minutes for my 20 or so days a year at the park/parks. ( I just use this phone so I can be reached in case of an emergency and to take a few pictures and play with in line) So it costs me $100 a year to not bring in and risk damage/losing my more way expensive IPhone 8. Her is my solution---I am considering getting an Apple watch with cellular and from what I understand after the initial cost of the watch (not cheap) it will cost me $10 a month on my current plan. So for just $20 more a year I get a good watch (good for all year not just park visits) and 1 less thing to carry in the park. Hopefully they don't ban Apple watches in the future. Thoughts?

I finally rode Mystic Timbers for the first time on Sat. (I wanted to wait till the "new coaster" lines died down and with the small crowd on Sat. it was time.)I actually rode 3 times in roghly an hour. For my first ride after talking in line I was advised that my first ride should be front row so that is what I did and it was great, from the time you leave the station it was all go, even the lift hill had some "story lines" to keep you involved so never a dull moment. Front row was great. For my second ride I rode back row ,it was awesome getting pulled over the first drop and through the rest of the ride. For my third ride I sat in the middle (row 6),another awesome ride. I think one of my favorite surprise elements of the ride was the little "fake tilt" near the end of the ride.(Reminds me of King Cobra's similar element.) I think this will be on my must do list from now on.(with a reasonable line) Later, Mark P.S. I got bat, snake, bat.
