SnakePlissken

Hurricane Bay is opening July 3rd. If you go before then you still have Raging Rapids which is lousy at getting you wet for some reason, Mile High Falls which looks like Congo but gets you soaked and the 5D theater if its open.

This is the biggest reason I don't apply for a seasonal job.

The Columbus Zoo and Zoombezi Bay are not requiring masks when they open in about a week so maybe that turns out to be good news for the Cedar Fair parks too? Depending on what side you are on.

I have seen them released selectively. Its rare but I have seen it.

Shame we don't still have Firehawk for that.

Paramount would have allowed that.

Karen will ask for the manager...

I would be ok with the no fastlane this year mostly. I bought Fanelane all season for the whole chain last summer for the 2020 season. Only issue I have is the fact that I paid 850 last August in order to get more rides on Orion. To me that fastlane all season all chain or even just Kings Island Fast Lane is worth much less for a year 2 ride. I would say the pass is worth a premium when a ride is brand new and less each following year without one. So in theory if one thinks that way then there should be a bit of a refund for people who bought it for 2020 and do not get to use it in 2020 and a bit more for the fact that the park gets to use your money for almost 18 months with no return or value given to the customer who bought it. I'm still going either way and with or without a mask requirement. I'm gonna go get my fix. I also don't expect the park to add value or perks or give some dollars back if the fastlane can not be used in 2020.

I don't think Holiday World is requiring masks either and I read somewhere that they hope to have the mask restrictions completely gone for the state by July. Also one can assume you can eat and drink without masks right? If so what is keeping someone from just keeping a soda cup in their hand all day in order to go maskless?

Good for them. Somebody needs to do it. Right now my money will be going to 4 other states soon for a week long road trip. It would have included Kings Island if they were open. Pre Covid it was gonna be a Virginia trip that would have still included a Cedar Fair park. I'm forced to go where the open parks are and spend my money out of state.

Well there goes another Aug event then. GOCC was suppposed to have a 2 day event in Aug at Kings Island and Stricker's Grove. Sad since I have never been to Stricker's Grove and that is the kinda park least likely to recover from all this stuff going on.

This may be a bit off topic but it is covid related. Holiwood Nights is happening Aug 28 and 29. It was just announced on Facebook.

If I could make money traveling and visiting amusement parks yes. Florida is a good location for that. Otherwise heck no. I love being in central Ohio and within 8 hours of so many parks.

One way?

Or driving around the park when its snowing...

It is the other side that floods the worst due to the way the wind blows. Lake Erie was at an all time high last summer and at one point in June they even shut down Blue Streak for a day or 2 due to flooding.

I'm still waiting on Holiday World to reschedule or cancel the Holiwood Nights Event I have a ticket too. I'm also waiting to see what King's Island schedule looks like for June.

The Bar I went to Friday night followed the rules while I was there but I did get there before the dinner rush hit and only stayed long enough to eat my dinner and drink 2 beers.

So the 97% who are over 50 and dieing mean nothing to you?

I too had beer and pizza at a bar tonight. Or was it last night since its not Friday anymore? It was outside on a patio.

I normally don't do delivery either for those reasons but when one is sick and the delivery fees are being waved one does it anyways.

I wouldn't buy into what that article says too much. Seeing as how they keep referring to Cedar Fair as "Knott's Berry Farms" owner and not calling them Cedar Fair. They also have a link embedded in that article that says that same "Knott's Berry Farm owner says parks could be closed through the end of 2020. I do not think Cedar Fair has come out and said that.

I wonder if the nightly fireworks will be scrapped too. Or the live shows. Further out I wonder what Haunt and Winterfest look like. Wonder if they decide to delay the opening of Orion like Cedar Point is doing with Snake River Expedition.

Why are you pro age discrimination?

I wonder if there is a way to get a hold of Don or park management. I think we should somehow suggest they implement some kinda "First Dibs" policy for any Coasterstock 2021. Meaning if you had a ticket for 2020 you get first dibs at 2021. Its only fair seeing as how fast it sold out this year.
