What the hell? Spacing the people in lines 6ft apart doesn't do any good if there are people going the other way in the line RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!? What a ridiculous thing to even show in the video! I would have bet my life they'd only be using EVERY OTHER lane and skipping the ones right next to each other... Such a "false sense" of doing the right thing. Just like the temperature checks are. They don't do any good unless you've been infected for 2-3 weeks and showing symptoms.

I think the lawsuit was just a publicity stunt and they already knew the date they'd be allowed to open. Hence the white tents already up at the entrance.

Information (opinion) on need for masks outside when in a CROWD... "He cautioned against developing a false sense of security in outdoor areas and said protesters should seek “high-quality masks” while practicing social distancing as much as possible — even in crowds. " https://news.yahoo.com/scott-gottlieb-skullduggery-coronavirus-kavita-patel-protests-235827231.html Also, sorry if this was already posted but "mask protocol and report" from Universal Studios... https://attractionsmagazine.com/we-wore-a-mask-all-day-in-the-hot-sun-at-a-theme-park-heres-our-experience-and-advice/

Once Dewine gives a DATE that "mass gatherings" can happen, THEN C.F. would have to submit their plan, get it approved, execute it and train people. Apparently The Ohio State Fair didn't think this was possible for August, BUT they may have also decided it wouldn't be worth the effort for a one week event. Maybe C.F. WILL think it is worth it?? I feel that July 1 is VERY wishful thinking... I organize an Oktoberfest in Springboro, OH (5 to 7 thousand people) that's always the weekend after Labor Day weekend, and we are very confused/torn on what to do for this year. Our "drop dead cancellation date" is July 1.

Some, or ALL, Cedar Fair parks may remain closed throughout 2020... https://www.ocregister.com/knotts-berry-farm-owner-says-its-theme-parks-could-be-closed-through-end-of-2020

First off, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME of them to have done this. Very gracious. HOWEVER, I feel like that pretty much sums up that they are NOT very optimistic of opening AT ALL (or very much) in 2020. Stores, bars, restaurants, breweries, etc should start opening back up in the next 4 weeks I think (hope!), but I think it will be a VERY long time till they allow 100s or 1000s of people to gather at amusement parks, beaches, sporting events, concerts, and airports again... Like maybe late late summer or fall. If they don't, there will be "flare ups" and certain regions will have to shut down and start over again on a smaller scale. Hope that's all wrong!!! Glad C.F. did what was "right".

It's funny (silly?) to me they can still call that "area" Oktoberfest.... Is it really even an area anymore? How is Viking Furry "Oktoberfest"? And the slingshot thing? What about the Festhaus you say? Oh, you mean the "panda express building"?

YEA...there isn't going to be ANY talk of REFUNDS for season passes... "In the past MONTH Cedar Fair, which drew 25.9 million visitors in 2018, dropped from $53.97 a share to $17.34 — a 68 percent loss." - Theme Park Insider

Was just going to ask what the going odds are that the media day and opening day gets postponed!? I'd say 50/50 right now...

Would have thought they just would have used crappier looking chain link fence or something... darn... One of the really cool things about Fury325 is being able to get close and take some awesome pictures.

So THOSE 2 pictures SURE make it seem like you'll be able to walk way back along the ride. Why else would the fence (and pathway) be there? Maybe it will eventually lead to another area of the park they'll add on...

Is Vortex gone? Or is that it's hills just to the LEFT of the Eiffel Tower? I THOUGHT it was to the RIGHT of the tower from this camera angle? https://www.weatherbug.com/weather-camera/?cam=MSNKS

Seems like at my house the satellite images update about every 18-24 months...

Same thing happened up on the north side of Columbus at Polaris. Concert Amphitheater was there for 8 years or so, then people started building neighborhoods behind it. Within probably 2 years they had complained enough that they got the amphitheater completely demolished! Such a shame... It's not like those people didn't know what they were doing building a house there!!?? BTW, what does a coaster with sand in the track sound (and FEEL) like??

AND that wasn't the "correct" photos of it being finished! That was the "fake" finish... so funny. He even says "you can SEE it RIGHT there! " like he knows it wasn't really the REAL finish.

Awesome find! Wow. Son of Beast was insane....

Did WildGravity take all their tweets down?? I went to go see the "war" you mentioned, and there is NOTHING posted today from them about Orion? They DID post a YouTube video of the "fake" finale....

It's THIS the little concrete building (photo booth?) that you would walk through when LEAVING Firehawk?

Anyone have a photo from "mostly" same angle as the webcam of when Firehawk was there? Seems like someone would, being it's just a shot from the Eiffel Tower more or less...

I swore I just saw two people in white RUNNING like there was no tomorrow across the dirt...?

I don't see no stinking media..

I honestly had a dream last night that I was watching a news story on TV where they were reporting they couldn't finish the last piece because they didn't have the correct bolts!!

Weatherbug camera still shows Vortex better than nothing...

Wow! Strange they'd work on a Sunday in crappy weather...

Does anyone understand why this is being called an "AUCTION"? https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/orion-first-riders-auction They SURE make it SOUND like all you have to do is raise a minimum of $150 in donations you are "IN" to attend the event on April 9 with "unlimited" rides on Orion. Where does the "auction" part of the name come in? They never say they are "auctioning off" the chance to ride or anything like that... $150 of other people's money gets me a ride as one of the first people???
