    • 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
    • I wish they would do some work on the entry plaza side of the building. At least dress it up and make it look like a grand entrance building like other parks have. Or if you want to go modern, replace the banner with an LED screen.   Cedar Point fans should be used to at least some gaps between big projects. They went 6 years after Maverick when they opened GateKeeper. Wild Mouse was the first coaster addition since Steel Vengeance which was a 5 year gap. If you don't count that as a major addition then Top Thrill 2 was 6 years. Siren's Curse was the first fully ground up coaster addition since Valravn.  
    • If you're buying a pass now, yes. It's very similar to the Gold/Platinum pass system, except now the Gold Pass gets you into all Six Flags parks in whatever region you purchase it from.
    • I've been really enjoying the smaller additions and renovations during the off-years. Adding a new major coaster every 3 years is not at all sustainable, and these smaller additions and renovations are a good way to keep the park updated as needed. (That's something I think Cedar Point/CePo fans need to figure out as well, especially with how many I've seen upset that the park isn't adding a ride for 2026.) I just hope we do eventually get a good new major coaster in 2027/2028. Just today it looks like there have been people working on replacing the shingles on the I-Street side of the entrance building. Adventure Port and Camp Snoopy were good additions (although I hope they add more foliage to Camp Snoopy soon) and River Racers/Splash River Junction helped to revitalize that area of Soak City. I think Phantom Theater is more in the major investment category than not, but it's certainly not on the scale of a major coaster or full area revitalization.
