  1. Don't give them any ideas! It could get so degraded that they bring in some cheap Phantom Theater cardboard cutouts and theme it to demons, death and destruction. They would probably call it Maestro 's nightmare!
  2. Hark! What's that sound I hear? It's the clock of eternal doom striking 13 times!
  3. But Cincinnati is no Charlotte. The soon to be Six Flags is continuing to pour money into Carowinds to try to elevate it to elite status. I don't know that this is possible or probable. Kings Island, on the other hand, would have to sink substantial money into Timberwolf, but they would still not be able to attract "top shelf" entertainment in the market. Timberwolf most likely will continue to perhaps host Spirit Song, cheerleaders, and high school bands...and store Winterfest decorations, until the money spent to demo it can be justified. Maybe I will be proven wrong. But I suspect it's going to remain a relic from days gone by.
  4. If we can only budget for an outside Bubbles show for three weeks, I don't see them budgeting for a reno and free concerts. Especially since they would have to compete with acts with the new thing at the Land Formerly Known As Coney Island.
  5. Worlds of Fun has entered the chat: "Bon après-midi! Je crois que je correspond très bien au thème ! L'événement m'a été volé!" 中國說:“我也是!而且冬季節也被拿走了!”
  6. With the CF budget cuts, it wouldn't surprise me is 20 of the 30 shows are from the local third graders music classes, with the recorders. They'll try to increase hot dog sales by having them play " Hot Cross Buns" repeatedly.
  7. I think KK is more of a local park, but then again, KI has become that with the season pass model. One season in the last ten, I think it was 2016 or 2017, KK pulled in 800k. Doesn't sound impressive. But, with the equivalent acreage model, if they had 300 acres like ki and no height restrictions, that would have equated to 4m guests, which probably would top KI admissions. The park has plenty of untapped potential, and if the fair board is reasonable, and this redesign gets rid of the road and gives the park a new parking lot and entrance...watch out. Or not.
  8. It's interesting to read these comments about KK. Ten years ago, many were saying it would not reopen. It did. Next, people said KI/CF laughs at the thought of KK being a competitor. Then, people started to notice when they opened Storm Chaser and made a splash with calling out the guy who had his cell phone out COVID happened and literally detailed the raptor. Things were bleak. The park was saved again, this time by HFE. People were expecting Dollywood North, quickly. That didn't happen. However, HFE has begun to implement their formula in a calculated way. They seem to have fostered a good relationship with the fair board. They spend while Cedar Fair retreats. Some here now are admitting that they take a dent out of KI. I haven't been this excited about KK since about 2016. It will never be a Kings Island, but it is making an impact. They said they had 500k guests last year, but if you figure land area size, 60 acres=500k; 300acres= 3 million. If KK was 300 acres and had no height restrictions, they could pull in 2.5 million. Not an accurate postulation, but food for thought. And how many of the 500k would have went to KI if KK didn't exist? How many hundreds of thousands of dollars would have gone to Cedar Fair instead?
  9. I think it's going to take a whole lot more than stripes to retheme The Junkyard Coaster!
  10. It will be interesting to hear how SIX shareholders vote today.
  11. I'd like to see the Rain-Bo Bakeri return in a format that is current (is Rain-Bo still around)? I'd also like to see the fruit sippers return. And The Beast fried mushrooms.
  12. But, on a positive note...we got a new FunFact Friday. While the KITeam has much to be desired, this is a great thing they do. I'm assuming this is Elizabeth (?) and deserves kudos for this!
  13. Me too! I had to leave work for a bit for an MD appointment and I come back to @disco2000's post! :). Stress, I reckon! The gentleman I spoke with was very nice. I appreciate his update.
  14. I called ACE. Tickets have not been put on sale. The events page will be updated at some point, but not today. They are not selling tickets today.
