Yall realize that sign isn't new right? It was just finally fixed to work like it used to. Sent from my SM-S936U using Tapatalk

I have now 28 recorded rides on each side of Stardust Racers, it still slaps. Rode front row green as usual and it was still a religious experience.

Stardust is open and is in normal operations! Currently in line, no augmentations or changes made

I saw the new WindSeeker sign last night for the first time and it looks really cool! Although it is a bummer that they aren't running it.

I was noticing the same thing. It seemed like there were way less scare actors out and about especially on Coney Maul. There were just a few clowns and a stilts guy, but no slider guys or any of those other ones. I don't even know if I saw a chainsaw guy in Abandoned. Maybe one. But I definitely noticed there were not a lot of scare actors in the scare zones, and I don't think they went into the houses either...

Actually, the lady working Order of the Dragon told us to cut under the ropes because there was no line at the time. But there was a staff member yelling at people at KillMart because they were cutting under the ropes

I second your seat choice.

I'm hoping to get back to Elitch once I get myself back to a point where I'm comfortable with flying out there! I'm glad you all enjoyed your time!

Did you experience any issues with people in the Order of the Dragon queue line? When I went through there were groups trying to duck under each rope and getting (rightfully) scolded by the associate at the back of the standby queue line. It would be nice if there were a way to make temporary switchback dividers like they have in the ride queues. Universal uses actual barriers in their HHN house queues, but that also makes it so you have to go through everything no matter how long/short the line is. I believe I heard that Cornered got a new storyline last year and had its layout changed this year. The greenhouse/bad chemicals storyline is nice in that it makes it more than just another corn maze. My theory is that the layout got changed to a) get the exit closer to the entrance, and to b) clear the plaza in front of Invertigo in case any work needs to happen there to fix or demolish the ride.

Have fun! I consider it one of the best experiences at Universal.

Foreword: this is basically spoiler-free, so don't worry about me spilling the beans Also, this is coming from a guy who doesn't like to be scared, and has only ever done Killmart and Hotel St Michelle before this trip. Went to the Haunt last night and bought the Haunted Attractions Pass online. When we entered the park at around 6:45, we scanned the QR code given to us and received our wristbands. It was a super easy process, and only took a few seconds. NOTE: You do not have to redeem your online order at the main Fast Lane location, you can do it anywhere that sells Fast Lane. So don't wait in those really long lines when you can go to the height measurement kiosks and have no wait. After that I had dinner at Chicken Shack for the first time and thought it was ok for KI food. Then we did Order of the Dragon first and I liked it. The theming and the whole house was definitely done better than the other ones. I think we took a wrong turn and cut some of the maze off, but I can't be sure. We hardly waited for this one, and moved on to Cornered. Cornered was fine, but definitely one of the weaker mazes. For those who have done it in years past, is the theming a little different? I thought Cornered last year was a hay-maze type thing instead of the greenhouse-type theming this year's Cornered seemed to have. Anyway, we didn't wait much for that one either. Next we did Alien Abyss, which I had mixed feelings about. We basically didn't wait for this one. I really liked the story of the whole thing, especially the pre-show type room before you enter the house. But it was just way too dark for me to enjoy it, because I was constantly lost and trying to continue walking though. The scare actors had to keep telling people where to go. But it was a good maze idea in my opinion. KillMart was the same as always, with a few animatronics. Waited roughly 5-10 minutes. Not much needs to be said, it was the same old KillMart We did Hotel St Michelle next which we ended up waiting roughly 30 minutes for because they were using both lines, but there was no one evenly splitting the lines, so our line took way longer. Good maze overall, probably one of my faves. But basically the same as previous years. The last house was Slaughterhouse. Not necessarily scary, just gory. I also felt like there weren't very many scare actors in this one like maybe 5-7. There were definitely some parts that could have more scare actors in them. Probably my least favorite maze overall, but that's just my opinion. We did Racer (10 minutes) and Diamondback (15 minutes) for rides. And watched the show (twice)! The show was really good and I really wished they advertised it. Overall, very fun night at KI Haunt!

Last night when entering the line for Hotel St Michelle: "Huh? Where's Timberwolf? It's supposed to be here. Interesting. I guess we'll do this one first." I swear Kings Island needs to take down that Timberwolf sign because I'm tired of hearing guests think that TImberwolf is a ride! Maybe if they replaced that sign with "Buy your passes today!" they would see many more passes bought!

Sounds like something the park should have communicated to people when they took their money, instead of expecting everyone to know about a random policy change that wasn't communicated anywhere except "unofficial" Facebook groups. Apparently, you're supposed to "refer to the instructions on the ticket" to figure out how to redeem it... which, of course, you don't have because it's "on your pass".

I’m at the park today and I’m planning on being there on ride within the first few cars!

Glad this Coney classic still has life in it! Only ride at the park I’ve never been on. I’m not crazy on spinning, but wanna take my kid on it when’s she’s tall enough. Might’ve been easier to just ditch this one given the state of the chain currently. We’re lucky. Brand new revival of a classic dark ride next year and continued dedication to keeping things running. Can’t complain when other parks are experiencing some intense merger growing pains.

About $40-$80 per pass that would've gotten it anyways. I'd bet the low price points across the board are what made them all so attractive to guests — even to those who claim that season passes are still too expensive. Add "less euphemisms" to the list of hopes and dreams for the new CEO. They can keep doing it for some things, but there's a line after which they're overdoing it. I think the price might have gone up at some Legacy Six Flags parks, especially those who offered a Silver Pass for 2025 and now only offer Gold/Prestige for 2026. With G/P passes being the new norm instead of S/G or S/G/P, I can entirely understand how they can claim that 3% increase in prices.

Coney as it looked just a few hours ago by yours truly. Most of the park is now fenced off compared to previous visits. And here’s a few from a Facebook group: Hate seeing this, but still have the hope that they’re planning on saving much of which is there. Least they can do. Cheers.

, I agree. But they have dug their ditch with these meal plans. The customers expect them now. They can’t eliminate them or they lose customers, but if they keep them, they lose money.
