For me half the excitement for the upcoming season is seeing all the mini upgrades done around the park to make it a nicer place. Stuff like during the 50th they redid the walls of Racer's station to remove the chainlink fencing and put in a more permanent looking wall. 

What would Plague Productions be doing on this project? I thought Sally did all the set design and fabrication themselves. Would Plague Productions just be doing install or would they also help with fabrication? 

Plague Productions being involved with Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare was talked about on an episode of Tower Topics back in December. 

Both sides of the entrance building need a lot of work IMO. The entry plaza side needs an entire facade put on it, but the front of International Street also needs something to make it more than just a vast expanse of pavers. Canada's Wonderland suffers from a similar issue, but their I-Street is also larger and doesn't have a side path at the front like KI's does. Kings Dominion has a way smaller plaza and therefore doesn't have that problem. A raised planter with a tree on either side of the plaza would do a lot to help break up the sight lines. I don't think the Cedar Point fanboys expected a coaster for 2026, but there are enough that seem upset over there not even being a new flat ride or something else that's "substantial".

I haven't bought my passes for this year, and I always buy 3 with the all season fastlanes. I was about to buy on KI website, but I guess im going to buy on carowinds and take a weekend visit next month.  The savings pays for the trip
