Please no....tired of the investment into the kids area. We need more expansion/investment into the "adult" park. Best Kids Area Award could be earned as the area is now...you just need to have a team to share the reason why it's the best.

Maybe....could be that it's not an official press release, but written via CPFoodBlog on the Sandusky Register platform.

https://sanduskyregister.com/news/587651/new-cedar-point-park-manager-named/ Colleen, IMO, is extremely qualified and the right choice! Having witnessed her leadership style, her love for guests and associates, I am confident in her ability to lead. The night before opening day at CP this year, I ran into her on the Magnum Trail with other employees. She was on the phone, but she paused her conversation to say hello to me and ask if I was excited for the upcoming season. I've known Colleen for several years through a mutual friend and got to know her even better under Carrie Boldman's leadership. I never expect to be treated as anyone other than a typical guest...but she always makes me feel welcome in/around the park. Congratulations Colleen!

KI has lacked in the merch department for years. They capitalize on the top like 4/5 coasters and forget they have the rest. They also over saturate with what merch they have in the various shops.....why should I go into KI Essentials when I can get the same merch at the Emporium? As shown by @chad_1138, the newest merch made it's way into4I Trading Company. But you can also find it at almost every location in the park. It seems if about 95% of the 4/5 coaster merch is repeat from pervious years...a little extra design maybe inserted here and there...but you can find it at Coaster Connection, KI Essentials, Emporium, etc. Don't even talk about the price....I don't like the merch/designs enough to drop $30+ on a shirt....$65+ on a hoodie. I know I've said it before but Cedar Point at least has diversified merch and a small amount of repeat throughout the shops. Their ride specific merch is top tier.....KI really needs to learn a thing or two from CP merch. The designs/merch there makes the cost worth it IMO.

Please bring back Mr. Six!!!

Speaking of video screens....there have been several that have popped up all over the park including at Cedar Point....not quite sure their actual purpose.

Aren't girthy enough just made me lose my mind lol. But yes....the Island in Pigeon Forge has a mix of size with streams....could definitely benefit from a similar set up. Either way, there's not enough water moving as there was previously.

TBH doesn't look like that much of a space has opened up. When visiting, I've thought that area was crowded. Maybe not.

Yes please! I'm honestly tired of eating outside at amusement parks. Having an AC given break would be great. Nothing like eating your food and adding on salt by sweating . I kid, I kid...but it does feel quite gross being packed like sardines on the patios of Coney BBQ, with unrelenting heat trying to enjoy a meal.

I think so

They were filed after the fact.

Soap Box Derby was filed September 15, 2023. The new permit site doesn't have any ride additions prior to that.

Thanks for your perspective @Shaggy. I can definitely understand where you're point of view comes from. Additionally, I'm fearful that the new Six Flags Entertainment Company, isn't going to do much investing in older rides where they'd rather just remove them. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us one day.

Don't think it's worth the investment. Riders are looking out for the possibility to get soaked....not looking to be entertained by animatronics on the ride.

I have heard that Koontz didn't want the double seat option because it'd would cost more than he wanted to spend at the park out of the allocation. Not much fun to ride it with your friends when their either in front or behind you and you can't turn to them to smile/laugh/talk.

TT2 is just as phenomenal as last year! I didn't notice any side sway and holy cow the rhythm of trains being sent today! Can't wait til they close all the parks but Cedar Point ;-) Talk to budget friendly Koontz....he's the one who can/should be petitioning things for KI....but hey we got a kid coaster last year.

These drop down ads are starting to cover the entire screen on mobile

I don't think because people are still buying passes is a good enough reason to not emphasize and grow the live entertainment offerings. If anything, it's a way to sell more passes....so why not? Why not try to get more people in with stellar shows, especially the older crowds who may not do many rides...have more spendable income, etc.?

Cedar Point released their Live-E.... 5 actual shows.....1 mouse (clown) band.....1 celebration for Peanuts including a parade (?).....1 special event that features entertainment (Boardwalk Nights).....Character Appearances.....and a robust Bands In Residence set. https://www.cedarpoint.com/entertainment https://www.cedarpoint.com/entertainment/bands-in-residence 'nough said.

You're not the only one. As far as trim-less Beast rides...wouldn't they have to physically remove the trims? If so, they'd either have to suspend operations toward the end of the day to remove them for ERT or leave it trimless all day for everyone. If not, then nevermind .

Mostly they are. Several house electronics for the rides. Several are tornado shelters if needed.

I believe they are still included in the dining plan. CP the premium entrees are included.

Guessing for the Liberty Bell topiary.

I saw those two testing as well.....just no people. So odd...would have loved to be up in the tower again.
