Zero Tolerance at Anderson Towne Center
Taylor.B03 replied to disco2000's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This policy is absolutely what Kings Island should have implemented. F around, find out. Giving zero tolerance and giving out real world consequences is what is needed. I know I would be absolutely on my best behavior since I would not want to go to court over something stupid I did. -
Top Thrill Dragster Incident
Taylor.B03 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'll be going to Cedar Point for the first time the first Sunday of June so It'll be interesting to possibly see a half dismantled ride like this! -
Google does a phenomenal job with the pixel phones, it's been my favorite phone ever since it launched. The Camera processing they use is genuinely years ahead of all other phone makers. I have the 5 and it's always great!

You just need lots of flashlights

Should chains invest in indoor parks?
Taylor.B03 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Vegas isn't like any other real estate, it's far different from any other region in the US, you basically have to commit and go all in on it, it's quite literally a gamble. Not to mention, the shear power of the established chains that dominate there. Only chains like Disney and Universal would have a chance to succeed due to the amount of resources they have. It's just not worth it. The only way I could see a chain going there is if there was a sale of the adventuredome, or a local government aided offer (ex: tax breaks, city selling land at a discount, etc.) -
An Idea I had for the vip lounge is something I think would add value to it. Companies can come in and give away free product samples to members of the vip lounge, that way it can A: Generate some revenue through sponsorships and B: Become an advertisement platform for different companies. Also with that, maybe Kings Island themselves could test a new menu item for members of the VIP lounge. Things like this would make it feel exclusive and more valuable since you would get more than just water and chips.

Hersheypark Announcement
Taylor.B03 replied to Orion742's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
They are truly speedrunning this transformation -
I do like the idea of moving the security checkpoints up. I think it would be better since it would allow security to cover more area as well as have a better view of the parking lot since currently it is too far up to see much. I made this little illustration of what I think this could look like. The Yellow is a security checkpoint, the red lines are fences (Some fences are already exist)

More like reAction Zone, not alot of action but a whole lot of reactions

Indiana Beach Reveals New Ride Name
Taylor.B03 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Keeps a similar scheme of ____ Loop(ing) of most Schwarzkopf rides. This name is too big, I would just call it All American Looping just 3 syllables instead of 5. -
Here at Apple, we ask ourselves everyday about how we can make the world a better place. That's why we're excited to announce our newest innovation. We call it iPipeline!

Depends on who's running the socials. Also Grizzly isn't a top tier ride at KD so since this work is being done, it is much different from making The Beast which is a top tier ride even better. This is transforming a low tier ride in most people's opinions to become a better experience.

I saw that on Saturday, I thought they looked a bit stretched to the circle shape when looking at it, in these photos it looks much less distorted!

Invertigo will be Invertigone within the next 5 years (Depending on what happens with The Bat) The entrance plaza will not be renovated in the foreseeable future There will be a new skyline built within a year or so in the park The next roller coaster addition will be in The Vortex plot Action Zone will get an Aeronautica landing styled treatment Panda Express will leave the park within the next 3 years BOLD: Kings Island will play with the idea of Year round operations within the next few years (This is dependent on the success of Carowinds and Kings Dominion as well as additional infrastructure needed for the park such as more indoor rides and restaurants)

What I'd to to teach them a lesson, come with them to the gate, then as they try to get in with you just say "I'm not with them". Very dirty but it would be quite embarrassing for them.

The newest prestige pass benefit: Immunity from the chaperone policy. Cedar Fair instantly makes billons in profit
-
My reaction to this information ---> Rage meme.mp4 (breaking keyboard) - YouTube On a serious note This policy seems to be better than most but it's still not great at all. Pros: It allows the chaperone to not be with the person they are accompanying the whole time. Normal day before 4pm People 16 and 17 are unaffected (If you are old enough to work at the park, you should be able to be at the park.) Cons: 18-20 year olds cannot accompany anyone even though they are legal adults My suggestion is that they add the ability for this age group to at minimum be able to accompany up to 2 people 15 and under. For example: I can't bring any of my younger siblings to the park (Unless we wanna leave at 4 which is a large NO). I only would be taking one or both of my younger sisters to the park, I am not allowed to do that anymore under these rules (again, only the partial operating day) Chaperones can take ownership of up to 10 people My suggestion is to lower this number to 6. Groups over 6 are way too big, the average minivan can hold 7 people so how in the world did 1 person drive 10 people to the park? You needed an additional car which is likely another adult, they should be going to the park as well I would presume? This policy does not differentiate younger children. What if there is a young couple such as people who are 18-20 who have children of their own? Are they denied entry to the park because they are bringing their child to the park which they need someone 21 or older to be with? This is a more technical reason but one that should be covered in the fine print. Teenage parents do exist. This policy is active every day This could be changed in the future when daily operations kick in but this policy at it's current state is happening every day of the week. I think once we get to daily operations it should be in effect Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The weekdays usually aren't as crazy since there aren't as many people going during the weekdays. In my personal experience, Saturdays always have the worst crowds, followed by Fridays. By Sunday lots of adults are at the park since it's their day off. It sill is a bunch of people though as it is the weekend. My personal opinions: (Spicy) In my personal opinion and from pure observations, the problem is the large groups of middle schoolers and a small bit of young high schoolers who are in stupidly large groups for some reason. Why are they allowed for form these large groups in the first place is beyond my understanding. In my personal opinion, they need to target these large groups. These groups are so easy to spot from a mile away, once you see them you give them the ultimatum, split up or get out. There is absolutely no reason for there to be groups of over 6 unattended minors to gather together, the mob mentality will easily form because of how underdeveloped and young people in that age range's brains work. I know when I was that age (Only 5 years ago for me) that groups over 6 people forming at school was a recipe for disaster, no order, just chaos for no reason. These groups are the source of most of the stories you see coming out of the park, fights, throwing food (Especially popcorn for some reason), being loud, ect. These are the people who need to be dealt with, not the people who follow the rules. My solution to the problem: implement an adult supervision policy for groups of minors All groups with over 6 guests who are ages 12 - 15 must have 1 adult 21+ for every 6 guests aged 12 - 15 in the group. Failure to comply with the policy will result in the group being split up. if the group is found recombining at any point, they will be ejected from the park (as they were told not to reconvene) This policy is intentionally flawed for a reason, you might ask, well they could just break into smaller groups of 3's or something and swap people. You'd be correct! The goal is to split groups into smaller groups which are much easier to manage from the groups themselves and the park. Smaller groups that are apart of larger groups within the park require the group as a whole to communicate with each other beforehand or via their phones in the park. This forces the group to have order. The thing with the large groups are the fact that everyone is together so that means nobody needs to care, your with all your friends at once so you feel like your on top of the world and can do anything. Breaking that group so they can't all be together at once (Without an adult) forces them to be constantly thinking while at the park. Smaller groups are much more focused since they can communicate with each other better, a large group has no real form of communication, you just follow the crowd. Someone does something stupid, others will do the same since the crowd is doing it. Smaller groups, everyone is visible, your actions can be seen by everyone in the group at once. This allows normal guests to not be punished by the root of the issues, the aforementioned groups. This would work by regulating these groups of minors with an adult who is responsible for controlling the group and taking responsibility of the actions of the group. Groups with 5 or less aged 12 - 15 would not need an adult but groups with 6 or more would need one adult for every 6 members. Example: A group of 6 would need 1, a group of 7 would need 2, a group of 12 would need 2, a group of 13 would need 3, and so on. This number also takes into account that an average minivan / suv can fit 6-7 people per car, since adults mostly drive cars, you would need multiple drivers to get a large amount of people to the park so those drivers would likely be parents who would need to go to the park with their group. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!

Agreed, It's the old saying. f around, find out. Simple. Offenders need to be the ones that get punished, not the whole community. I believe that any large group of over 5 unattended minors needs to have an adult, there's no reason for that many people to be unattended, separate or get an adult.

I'm not there today but from the information I have at the moment from various here say sources, someone in Action Zone may of had a weapon on them, security allegedly told people in the area to leave the area asap while police allegedly went to the scene. I cannot confirm anything at this time.
