You may have noticed this week the forums have been down occasionally. @malemhas identified the issue in the SQL database and plans to apply a fix tonight. Hopefully that resolves the issues we have been seeing this week. Thanks for your patients as we identify the problem and apply the fix.

Your Six Flags visits could affect what you pay for a season pass

DonHelbig · August 10Aug 10

Six Flags says it may use passholder visit history, benefit usage and other account activity when determining Home Park requirements, renewal offers, pricing and benefits. FULL STORY: https://themeparksbydon.com/six-flags-season-pass-price-home-park-policy/

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2026 Discussion

Losantiville Mining Co. · July 31Jul 31

We are at the end of July, and with the new announcement today I think it's time to start the discussion thread for the 2026 Halloween Haunt season. Kings Island will receive at least one new haunt maze in the building formerly occupied by Urgent Scare and Hotel St. Michelle. The new maze, named "Jason: Blood Reign", is also being constructed at Carowinds and Great Adventure. 2025 brought some improvements to the event with the addition of "Order of the Dragon" in the Action Zone maze barn

Cedar Point’s Corkscrew is getting a special honor

DonHelbig · August 10Aug 10

It opened during America’s Bicentennial and changed what riders could expect from a roller coaster. Now, 50 years later, Cedar Point’s Corkscrew is being honored for its place in coaster history. FULL STORY: https://themeparksbydon.com/cedar-point-corkscrew-50th-anniversary-ace-landmark/

Dollywood spent more than $60 million on NightFlight Expedition — was it worth it?

DonHelbig · yesterday at 03:05 PM1 day

Dollywood’s NightFlight Expedition is the park’s largest single-attraction investment ever at more than $60 million. I rode it twice during the media ride dedication event, and its immersive storytelling and innovative ride system blew me away.

The question is: will they reverse course when they see the actual number of passes and add-ons decrease over the next few months, or will they hold the line?

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2026 Discussion

Double post to separate my thoughts from the announcement.

I think a new scare zone may come in 2027 or 2028 after some of the other mazes are replaced. There were a few parks that announced 4+ new experiences (mazes, scare zones, and shows) today and I'm hoping that Kings Island will see some of that same love in the coming years. We desperately need some more shows and a few new scare zones (that aren't just a short/narrow pathway); although I have a feeling that some of the legacy Six Flags parks also needed that as well. Kings Dominion is now going to host their own Wake the Dead show in the Kings Dominion Theater, so maybe it will be a test run for KI to have it as well? I think it would mostly fit in front of the Tinker's Jingle Bell Ball set depending on how the character blocking is done.
That "Die-In Movie" concept would be really cool as long as they still manage to have a good place for the ride graveyard. Set up almost all of the same items as for Winterfest, but change out a few props and make the movie clips be classic horror films.
I'm also a little sad that there was no Phantom Theater overlay announced — not that it ever had a chance of happening in the first place — but the opportunity for it will remain open if the park ever chooses to do so. An easy seasonal ride reprogramming is the kind of thing that I think Six Flags would be up for since it wouldn't require much after the initial setup.

I'm glad Corkscrew is getting the recogniton it deserves. It's a classic and honestly an underrated ride!

AND... 4 months late to open. That you can find / expect at Six Flags.
