[Kings Island Prestige Pass]

It's not about the fridge, it is about the park selling a product promising drinks and taking it away after the fact. 

If there were people abusing the drinks, then come up with a better solution than taking it totally away. Same with the one time Fast Lane pass. Don't make it harder for your most expensive pass holders to get the product they purchased.

 

It promised access to a VIP area. That is still being offered.

I can’t believe there’s so much outrage over the “Magic Fridge”.

If you don’t get the reference

Can @DonHelbig clear up the confusion on if the front of the line pass is included only at one home park or if you get one everytime you visit a Cedar Fair park that has Fast Lane lines?

It’s for home park only.

Uh, Area72 is complete.

The organ was working today! Yay!

Or there was nothing wrong with it.

[Renovated Tower Gardens Opens]

The park is named Kings Island, not Wachsland.

Seems a little unrealistic to have someone fix it within 24hrs. I assume there's not a full time organ expert on staff.

There’s three mechanics in the world that’s trained to deal with this organ. Source: Carousel Museum in Sandusky.

That TV has been out since last season. For a significant portion of last year, the TV had half of its display burnt out! I guess the rest followed soon after. A shame that it’s been so long without a fix.

There’s been supply chain issues.

Didn’t the other parks in the chain get rid of theirs because of some water problem or something? 
 

If that is true, maybe KI is having the same problem.

It’s the kid body slide complex. It’s like Lakeside Landing at Cedar Point.

[Lookout Lagoon Slide Complex]

Has anyone seen the slide complex open this year?

I just went back to the WWC overlook. There is no sign saying the blasters are coming back. 

I can confirm, there hasn’t been a sticker.

[Berlin and A Flock of Seagulls Perform at KI]

It was a great night at the concert, everyone had fun, and great music was played.

It was nice to go into the Timberwolf, as I had never been inside.

 

[The Bat is down]

It’s open, and running one train only.

Maybe not the look, but perhaps they said that because it spins; albeit in an extremely different way that’s nearly incomparable 

You didn’t get my point. Tiki Twirl and Surf Dog are both Disk’o Coasters.

Tiki Twirl is an excellent ride. It doesn't remind me of Surf Dog at all. More like Der Spinnin' Keggers, except titled.

Der Spinnin’ Keggers did not look like that.

Hersheypark recently did it with Chocolate Town. Idk how successful its been though for the park as it opened during the pandemic in 2020 along with Candymonium. 

Yeah, but Hershey’s is a resort with waterpark, zoo, and park.  It wouldn’t work at KI, and to be honest, no front gate village would work at the park.

Good to see them replaced. I noticed a few of them were missing when I was at the park on Wednesday.

Yep. The winds that hit the park a few weeks ago really packed a punch. Did they ever determine it to be a derecho?

I think a good way to improve the crowding would be to do something along the lines of a concept I shared here a week or so ago. Probably not the insane level, but maybe if they choose to sacrifice Invertigo and Congo, they could do a larger widened pathway and build a multi level, multi purpose food building as well as add some permanent restrooms and not porta potties. Also, am I the only one not a fan of the blacktop in the "concourse" area. The theater itself has pavers so why can't the pre-function have pavers or nicer concrete? 

There’s an old fashion idiom about “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic” (not the PKI attraction). This is a perfect use of that idiom.

I heard it was a great concert.

A live look at SlingShot fanboys entering the park this week.

[CGA is closing, should we be concerned about Canada’s Wonderland]

I think a lot of people had high hopes for the park considering all the work CF put into it. Unfortunately, Covid and the out of control real estate market really created a worst case scenario for CF and CGA.

If anything, most CF park entrance redesigns have made them smaller.

The only CF plaza expansion that was made larger was Carowinds. I’m still amazed how the plantation entrance was deemed adequate for nearly 40 years.
