There are some loud voices who use the word in an effort to say why the parks should get rid of the dining plan, hence why I put it in quotation marks. It was just a thought to add to the list of facts
This is a chain-wide flash sale (excluding Knott's), so I'm curious as to whether this is a reaction to overall visitation numbers or if it's something to precede changes to the upcoming pass sales — especially considering the fact that memberships are now on the table. Parks like Kings Dominion have the two days for just $35 while Cedar Point has them for $49. Maybe we'll find out during the next quarterly earnings call.
I hope whoever becomes Kings Island's next Executive Chef is able to help advocate fixes for some of the issues we've noticed this season. Not enough indoor/covered dining, slow service times in the Brewhouse, and ensuring drink machines have ice throughout the day are just a few noticeable inconsistencies.
