This was the period of time were Cedar Fair was just slapping new trail rides in the parks without much theming. The “Golden” period of Cedar Fair ownership was after that around 2106-2017 and ended in 2020

KI avoided the mass ride removal that some of the other parks experience last year, so it won’t be surprising if they remove some rides from the park

years ago, Dollywood had a 3-D theater and they converted it into a regular indoor theater that all guest could enjoy in any weather condition. Cedar Fair/Six Flags mismanagement just let these buildings sit empty.

The sloped floor among the seating is probably why they don’t use it for Winterfest. Busch Gardens Williamsburg has a couple outdoor amphitheaters that they use for shows at their Christmas town event. It’s a shame that Kings Island has a sitdown venue that they don’t use at Winterfest considering all the live entertainment at that event. The temporary, standup venues for the shows at Winterfest. Definitely contribute to lower quality shows. This amphitheater could host a higher quality show for the event. I think this is a factor of Winterfest starting to fail some parks. The event has already left Worlds of Fun and Kings Dominion. The lack of sitdown venues for the shows leads to lower quality shows. Plus, it’s not pleasant for the audience to stand when they watch a performance. Plus the lack of new quailtu production entertainment from year to year. Yuletide Follies was a slight move in the right direction but enough.

Well Paramount management absolutely desecrated all of the Taft parks. They left so much damage to the park atmospheres, the parks still have not recovered. Some parks will never recover like Kings Dominion where they removed. The train, the cable, skyway, dark rides, theaters, etc.. however they did not lead the parks down the trail of bankruptcy that is currently happening. So for the atmosphere of the parks itself, Cedar Fair was much better. But then they began all the cost-cutting that has led to the situation that the parks are in now, including the merger.

That theater deserves a full production show that showcases the performers full talents. Expanding Yuletide Follies in there with more dynamic choreography and production would be a good use of the theater. The venue for that show is horrible currently Tinkers toy factory had its place, but it definitely was not the premier show that belonged in the Premier location in the park

It’s just a small sign now, but wait until they start putting tacky wraps on the coaster trains

Seeing tacky advertising on what should be a themed experience doesn’t exactly make me want to buy that product. They serve to give the consumer a negative feeling about the product IMO

Six Flags is no longer an entertainment company. They are not about improving the customer experience and providing the highest quality of entertainment. They are an asset management company. They are trying to squeeze as much out of the assets as possible. When the assets fail, they will be sold Unfortunately the whole company is headed in the direction of failure.

This would be worse than the current bad ride. At least with boo blasters if one doesn’t want to shoot, they can still ride through and there are moving sets to look at.

Bad idea. The chain is struggling from low attendance for two reasons. Bad treatment of customers and the lack of attractions for non-thrill riders They don’t have enough attractions for non-thrill riders. They only focus on trail riders and little children so most people in society have no interest of going to the park because there’s nothing for them to do. Replacing a slow moving ride with a thrill ride only amplifies the 2nd problem.

It is stupid closing this ride before Winterfest if they aren’t going to replace it immediately. Winterfest needs indoor attractions.

I will have to admit that the customers like myself that realize the lack of ethics of this company and continue to go there because we like theme parks only enable them to continue to be unethical. Howe er. I don’t allow them to profit much off myself. I buy the season pass the meal pass and the drink pass and don’t spend one dime in the parks the whole season. Because of the overall lower quality experience and the absolute price gouging for everything else. I remember back when it Winterfest first appeared I made a point to spend money at the park. Every time I went to Winterfest to support the viability of the event. They have completely erased that good will.

Typical Cedar Fair bait and switch. They sold 2025 passes advertising Haunt and customers assumed it was the same as ever. but this shouldn’t be surprising. This organization is highly unethical. They use a sleazy disclaimer to do this type of bait and switch They cut advertise operating hours with no notice, close entire parks with no notice, have cut seasonal events that were advertised and cut advertised prestige pass benefits this was to be expected with the cheap season passes for next year. What are they going to charge us for next? Parking? Because it’s vague when you buy the pass exactly where free parking is good at. for a company that’s struggling in attendance because of the way they treat their customers this is just going to further alienate customers and chase them away.

This ride has always been pure cheap garbage. Especially compared to the two high-quality rides that previously occupied the space. If they don’t immediately replace it with a quality slow, moving dark, right. They are just going to further alienate, the non-thrill customers and chase more of them away. There’s already not enough to do for that group of customers at the park. However, if another dark ride is put in that spot, it’s not going to be a quality attraction. We saw what they did at Knotts with Knotts Beary Tales compared to the original attraction.
