    • Sadly it’s not getting better- actually worse. Tonight a good 40-50% of the on ride screens were out. Only one load window worked, one organ window worked, one mirror worked, one boiler video was frozen till we almost past it- the first one still off. Interesting that outside of the mirrors and boiler ones, these aren’t synced with anything- just loop. Not sure why it’s so hard to keep these going. Only seen them working on preview day. Whatever people think is “supposed to happen” with the legs behind the curtain- I think what we have is it. With daily ops about to start, I don’t see any “new or broken effects” being added. I think it’s shoes behind a curtain- nothing more The sticker signs keep peeling, and I keep sticking them back down. But I’ve been doing that since previews so it’s an ongoing problem that’s not being fixed. Cmon guys. This is your “big add” for the season. Treat it as such. 
    • I hold to my theory that the food at KI looks better without the annoying paper and portion cups. 
    • Here's the real question: Is it cheaper for me to go get a season pass than it is to pay for a ticket and parking? I think the Silver Pass is about $10 more than the highest ticket+parking price, but the Gold Pass would either even out or be less expensive than purchasing the ticket+parking+drink bottle. For reference, it's only $6 more expensive to buy a Silver Pass to Kings Island than it is to get a ticket+general parking.
    • I think if there's any conspiracy theory here, it's that Coastermania was planned, then the park was told to scrap it because it cost too much. Then when they got tons of pushback and very few ticket sales for Morning Rush someone at corporate said "Fine." and told the park to bring part of it back. My question with the theory of MR being a diversion is why would the park be willing to take the risk of so much bad publicity?  The only new thing for 2026 was a restroom renovation and a new event, staffing is apparently nowhere near where it should be, and guest satisfaction is getting lower and lower. Hopefully this new Coasterstock goes well!
    • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mighty Canadian Minebuster a mirrored layout of Shooting Star? I appreciate that the company decided to give Canada's Wonderland a semi-Shooting Star clone and a Wildcat clone alongside KD and CGA also getting a Wildcat clone and a mirrored Wildcat clone respectively.   If Kings Dominion ever wanted to take on an absolutely massive project, I'd love to see them move the park maintenance buildings somewhere else on property and place a new land in that space (connecting to I-Street and Old Virginia). So many things would need to change though. I always thought it'd be a great spot to put an inverted coaster since KD has none.
