What is the Air-Speed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow? All jokes aside, what was the most difficult ride to market?

RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025
gforce1994 replied to JubJester's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Just throwing this out, KI’s model is modified layout to allow the rafts to cross the finish line besides each other. The second launch was replaced with a high speed turn and airtime drop. It’s cool to note that from all the published information, this water coaster appears to be the steepest, fastest, and have the largest drop. -

Tipping is a good way to help support workers salaries while keeping food prices low. It’s been that way for awhile. There has been numerous studies on how tipping ensures that prices remain low, and people are paid. Look at restaurants that don’t provide tips. Notice how the price of McDonalds, Skyline, and Five Guys have skyrocketed like crazy.

Additionally, there was coverage of it in Dayton, Columbus, and was talked about by attendees of Coastermania. Everyone knew the event was going on. -
Man Struck By Roller Coaster at Kings Island Today

Just a sad event. I hope he and the ride ops make a full recovery. -
The timing is perfect because it’s the 40th anniversary of the first major enthusiast event in park history - AcCE Spring Conference. That year heralded the opening of King Cobra:

Yes, but first aid has general medical supplies, not something disease or condition specific. I ran into the issue last year, and am curious if it was fixed.
-
The issue with the bag policy is that if people are forced to keep their medical supplies in their cars, having to leave the park ends their night.

Dude, it’s early on. It takes some time to process, analyze, and diagnose. I can tell you a few cases where companies have been too eager to provide communications and the provided information was incorrect.
-
Or it looks like someone else made an account trying to have an “ah-ha” moment. The name of the account is KingsLslandPR. It’s a fake account.

Today, Mike Koontz held the Hall of Fame ceremony inside the Festhaus. He started the presentation by playing a rap piece that described the staff and their roles over the speakers. The rap and the following ceremony was quite nice.

Look what’s trending on the front page of the Travel section of USAToday. Kudos to the park for a fantastic announcement.

Just because one person answers park related questions on their personal account doesn’t mean another person has to.
-
Nope, he’s the spokesperson. It’s within his right to communicate with guests in that manner. Many communication directors conduct communications in a similar manner.

Could it be that the advert was paid and purchased for while the ride still existed, prior to the call to demolish it? Could they have outsourced the ad managing to a third party, and the third party hasn’t removed the ad yet? In the past, CF has advertised with rides that don’t even exist at the park in the commercial.

To be fair, even though it may be more expensive, you are getting more Prestige+ benefits at a rate that is cheaper per unit/park. Just a thought. Also to note, it seems they’re standardizing passes throughout the chain. Should help with app updates. Also seems like they’ve fixed all the problems with Prestige.

Dude, it was marketed well. Can everyone stop picking on Chad? Everyone is fixated on blaming him for stuff that he had nothing to do with. Adventure Port was marketed well. Did anyone else get the flyers mailed to them describing the new rides.
-
Spoken like a true lecturer of public communications I see. You say he wasn’t at Sol Spin, he was. You say he wasn’t at CoasterStock, he was. Everyone taking photos of the same structures doesn’t mean he’s copying someone else’s tweets. Also, he was at ERT: What’s your definition of “sucks at communicating”. He has gotten the story across nearly every time there’s a press release and or news story.
-
First off he’s able to conduct media events, provide tours of new areas or events to media, and etc. Just a few weeks ago during the opening of Sol Spin, he was providing tours to local radio hosts. Second he’s knowledgeable about the park, which is critical for success in a role. I have seen Chad frequently at the park. I think he does an exceptional job at his role .

Why do you dislike Chad so much? Chad’s a great guy, and awesome at KI! It’s always fun running into him and having discussions with him at the park.
