    • For those who haven't seen, Dent Schoolhouse and the USS Nightmare are hosting a joint sale where you get one-time Fast Pass Admission to both haunts for just a $66.66 total cost. The ad said these tickets must be purchased by 9/27, so act fast if you want to take on this deal!
    • I think there is at least some market for a Stricker's Grove-sized park up there near where Geauga Lake was, but who knows how big it could actually get at this point. If Ohioans think Six Flags is running Cedar Point and Kings Island into the ground, maybe they'll start going to a new GL and it'll be a nice little regional park in 20 years. Just in time for Six Flags v8.0 to buy it up and run it right back into the ground from whence it came! Just kidding  I'm sure someone will have understood the Six Flags curse by then and changed the company's name altogether.   The site redevelopment is looking good from the photos I've seen so far. Lots of new housing, including a ton over on the old SeaWorld Ohio parking lot. The municipal park that's supposed to take over Wildwater Kingdom also looks very promising. I think all that's left of the park is all of the water, some of the parking lots, and the part between where Villain and Dominator used to reside.   I wonder if anyone still has a trademark on the Geauga Lake name or if they could pull off a Coney Island-Kings Island type deal... Things to ponder.
    • Just saw a comment on a KIC Facebook post claiming "Typical six flags for ya" — except... it's a photo of the Nytewalkers show times... is it typical Six Flags behavior to offer 4 showtimes of a popular show spanning the entire event night? Is that any different from the 3-4 shows a night that I had seen from Cedar Fair for the past few years? Some people just love to complain, and somehow they manage to complain more than I do.
    • Very technically yes, generally no. Elitch Gardens in Denver, CO (To Not See Elitch Is To Not See Denver!) had a standard Ghost Blasters attraction up until about 2018 when they removed it and replaced it with Meow Wolf Kaleidoscope. Meow Wolf is the same company that has/had the Omega Mart installation at Area 15 in Las Vegas.  I think Kings Island will be the first park to remove an attraction named "Boo Blasters" on Boo Hill, which is why it is a very technical yes. I'm also super curious about this. I think there is some kind of licensing agreement that parks use for the standard SDR attractions, but I don't know exactly how that works. That's partially why the Six Flags parks used the Scooby Doo IP and why the former Paramount Parks may have had the option to continue using Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle/Mansion after 2009 instead of changing over to BBoBH.  Personally, I think Six Flags should find out how much it would cost to ship everything up to Cedar Point and give them a new BBoBH dark ride.   It looks like everything is still up at the now-shuttered attraction, by the way. As expected the garage door is closed, all signage is still present, a collapsible fence has been placed in front of the exit, and the giant promotional sign has been moved to block the queue entrance.
    • There is another funeral set up in the ride graveyard this Fall. It doesn't have any signs pointing to a retiring ride or anything, but the vibes are there. It uses the Phantom Theater car (turned around for some reason) as a backdrop next to the podium and behind the casket. (Yet another removed lantern interaction point). No visible gravestones for BBoBH in case anyone was wondering. Photo by me, LosantivilleMiningCo.  (Sorry it's so dark, but you can see the metal on the casket, the chairs, the podium, and the turned around PT car. Maybe someone can get a better photo during the day?)
