That must be some nifty Time Machine you have there. I am so relieved to hear that Mr. T is "great", are you going to spill #whatsintheshed or would that interfere with the timelines?

Cedar Point 2016 Talk
King Ding Dong replied to Bansheeback's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Top Thrill Cubster. Sigh. https://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/794521950156681216 In the video Tony turning the camera away from Mean Streak was great. -
I rarely buy at shops but SFSTL had a program where any purchases you made were bagged and delivered to some counter up by the entrance plaza for pickup when you left for the day. You were probably given a claim ticket like at the cleaners. For anyone that has to bring medicine or anything medical related. First Aid will store and even refrigerate for you if necessary. That info is listed on the website somewhere. I have two pale redheaded boys. We NEED sunscreen. The athletic glasses straps sold at the park are not that great but you can get very good ones.

How many times did you visit Kings Island in 2016?
King Ding Dong replied to BoddaH1994's topic in KI Polls
Have you deleted your pass on the app and then added it back on? That was the only way I could get an accurate count on the app. Not sure what will happen now that we are in the off season. -
I think everyone is a little right on this issue. Yes lockers are necessary for a variety of real or perceived reasons, yes they are making a quick couple of bucks and they could charge considerably less or have a roaming code or all season rental program like Zoombezi Bay. But they would have to make that revenue up somewhere else. It's not like these regional parks have huge margins and growth potential. In my opinion they do not disproportionately affect women becuase they do not need to carry a purse and could wear cargo shorts like us men do, but many choose more fashionable attire like yoga shorts, which I certainly do not object to. Regardless the situation is what it is and is not going to change. If you need a locker a little smart planning and it shouldn't cost a family more than $10-$16 a day unless you feel the need to criss cross the park constantly.

Maybe that's what's in the shed.

Tamales. Can we get tamales anywhere at our parks?

So at a minimum they could tie your cup to your pass and deactivate the cup if you reported stolen if they chose to implement that feature in the software. Thus making hot cups much less desirable as 40%(?) of guests are passholders, I believe.
-
In regards to SF, and this is just wild speculation, but I find it hard to believe that all the individual parks up and decided they wanted Larson Loopers.

Welcome! Hope you spend the winter with us as well. This site is unique, the mods don't berate you! (Usually)

If there were a half dozen or so more self serve drink stands around the park, this could easily be solved with collapsible sports bottles. I could even live without the soft drinks, but I really like my water with ice and drink far to much of it to rely solely on the self serve options or Kinzel cups. I do have a plan to make cups much less desirable to filthy theives that I will reveal after I work out a few kinks. Stay tuned. Edit: i have seen conflicting statements about the bar codes in the cups in the various threads this issue has been discussed in. Season is over, my KI orange cup code is BWH3R4FW. Are they all the same or unique?

In a sense it should be that way. A whole family can share one FunPix account, I just don't think the gold/plat passes are set up in the system as a "household" like they are for something like a pool membership. I don't see the need for more than two cards set up for my family, but as they boys get older and I let them roam on their own or with friends it could be beneficial.
-
You can do that? I had my FunPix account linked to my card but didn't know you could link it to other cards. That is kind of a big loophole ripe for abuse.
-
Probably not. But Mr. T should be.

^ Remind us to solve the mystery next season. It is kind of weird how the mobile app doesn't update the number of visits unless you delete your pass and then add it back. -
I wonder if you made a drink cup calf holster out of velcro and emptied it before getting on the ride if the cup would still be considered a loose article?

Is FOTL a true FOTL or do you just get herded into the FL line? If a FL is $80 (not sure on that, never used one) this could be a better deal if you plan on less than 16 coasters that day.
-
What do you think KI is likely to do with Mr. T for earlyRT next season? Will it only get a month in the rotation or because it is new with high demand is it likely to be on the list all season?

6 or 7. One was SC only due to weather. Although CP is 45 minutes farther away we ended up there a few more times than KI mostly due to the weather forecast on the days we could go. We also got a late start because I didn't buy the passes until around June 6th, so hopefully we can get there in April and May next year as well. Cant answer your own question? -

Out of curiosity, if a post is edited or removed will the poster be notified by means of a placeholder or by PM? Not trying to create more work for you guys, but sometimes I think I made a post only to discover it didn't take and have to try again. Imagine it would really be annoying to the mods if someone kept reposting a violation becuase they thought it was a internet/server issue. -
I recall seeing a recent post on another site with a picture of the STR site being ripped up, so that is a somewhat logical possibility, as any other possible place would be a really tight fit. I wouldn't imagine that it is all that expensive to install it, so maybe it would be a temporary install until they decide to put something more permanent on that site?I also have heard speculation that it could go to the new Sports Park. My wife and I rode the version at SFSTL some 20 odd years ago but not since. I did notice buried on their website a few years ago they had an all season pass pass offer for it so for about $60 you could ride it one time each visit to the park. I don't think my boys are ready for it yet, but if they were and CF offered something similar I would really consider it.

Anyone know when opening day is? I can't seem to find it, though CP has announced theirs. 2016 it appears it was Sat April 16th. 2017 April 16th is Easter Sunday, seems unlikely it would be that weekend.
