Speaking of Funnel Cake, the M&M funnel fries from Jukebox Diner is very good!

I believe the new cup size will put the park in line with what Holiday World provides. As you’ve mentioned however, Holiday World doesn’t have a time limit for how often you can get a drink. At this rate the fact they are willing to giveaway the drink plan with season passes they should switch to Holiday World’s model.

From my understanding it does get booked out for private parties. I'm sure there is a time frame of when that can be done and not a last-minute thing. So, if it isn't booked with a certain timeframe, it should be an automatic punt as an offering to the general public on busy weekends for fireworks like you've mentioned. Offer a Dessert buffet, fountain drinks and a cash bar.

if you’re able to cancel your stay at the express hotel at no cost, I would. You’d be better off at or the Holiday Inn, or Castaway bay for the right price. Backbeat BBQ is the best restaurant in the park in my opinion. The brisket, Mac & cheese with cornbread is delicious! My second favorite location has to be The Grand Pavilion, the menu changes so I can’t tell you exactly what to get but the food is good and the view of the lake is even better. I have All Season Fast Lane so I might not be the person to tell you which ride to ride first. I’d imagine TT2 has the longest line in the park, followed by Sirens Curse. So hit up one of those first.

And I bet Kings Island provided no options for preferred seating as an up-charge so folks would not have to deal with the swarm of people around the entrance and fountain. Disney for their fireworks shows offers a designated area that provides a view the fireworks as well as deserts and drinks for an upcharge. Cedar Point did something very similar with their 4th of July firework show this past weekend. Meanwhile the International restaurant at Kings Island remained dormant. If that would have been offered this past weekend it would have likely sold out.

Instead they will promise something like bottled soft drinks in the prestige lounge. Then, once a bunch of people sign up for the prestige pass they will pull the rug out from underneath them.

Wagyu grippo burger will be available today at the wishbone grill: https://www.facebook.com/stories/101349368699427/UzpfSVNDOjI1NzkwNDg0NDI0NDk4NTc=/?view_single=1&source=shared_permalink&mibextid=wwXIfr

Thats because as a child, you didn’t see the bill after your visit with the Mouse.

Walt Disney Company: $98.61 -July 3, 2024. $124.00 -July 3, 2025. I don't think Mickey Mouse is in a world of hurt.

The coaster additions were half assed. Do you think guest would have filled out the surveys with the coaster types they wanted based off what the park has produced? It is evident the powers that be, that have green lighted these coasters to be built don’t even understand the coaster type and what those types are good at. For example, Orion shares more elements in common with Diamondback than it does to any of the other giga coasters in the Six Flags company, and yet Diamondback still does airtime better. Water coasters are known for their speed and uphill elements. River Racers only has one uphill element and the ride is terribly slow. Speaking of surveys here is one from 2024. The questioning provided will only result in vague one or two word answers. It lacks the questioning to get the reasoning of WHY people answered the way they did.

The current fountain set up is nicer with the jets interacting with the nighttime firework show. The fountain pedestals are dated and get in the way, in my opinion. If anything I’d like to see more water jet features like a water screen be added to the fountains so the park can project a video and imagines onto it during the nighttime fireworks.

That would defeat the purpose of FastLane all together. lol

I don’t think United Parks has done much with acquiring asserts since they attempted to buy CF and changing their name from Seaworld Entertainment. Maybe they’re waiting to see how desperate Six Flags becomes to unload some of their assets? With that said, Six Flags should sell some of their parks that no longer “strategically fit” their core business. They could use the extra money to pay down debt and help shore up the parks that are apart of their core focus with large metro populations that need the investment.
