Orion-XL200

And probably open just as often!

Bumping this topic....I've been enjoying strolling through the park of 2011. I nearly forgot that there was a basketball game across from the KIC famous Train Coke Refresh Station. It seems that in 2011, there were more games and snack/drink kiosks throughout the park. In ways I feel like there were more options in the early 2010s inside the park than the later years.

Just not used to seeing it that clean....before geese for sure.

I had heard rumblings and was afraid that we wouldn't see them when the Live E list was posted. Grateful that they're back....still worried though.

The only time I've ever had an issue with needing a drink in the area is when they've had the stand closed. When it's open, the line has never been long enough for me to not stop....plus the refreshment stand across from Zephyr isn't that far away.

While I don't disagree with early season entertainment, that still leaves 3 "summer" shows and a limited engagement show. I didn't include the fireworks in my list. I fully agree with the bands in residence program as stated in the thread above. It's just baffling that the park has had some great entertainment offerings in it's history, that 3 summer shows seems like a "we are doing this because we have to."

I had hoped for more...Gazillion Bubbles is only playingMay 31 – July 6, 2025....so maybe a full month and some odd days of the KI Theater being used....and not during the hottest part of the season. HiFi Honey is only playing 4 dates. River City is playing 3 dates. Country Crossroads playing May 24 – August 10, 2025. Hot Rhythm Nights playing May 24 – August 10, 2025 Trailblazers X-treme playing June 21 – August 3, 2025 Yay Six Flags?!

I've seen lines for it that were fairly long....and I've seen it dead...I guess it kind of depends on the crowd sizes and weather tbh.

I vaguely remember them offering these...they weren't the main "dish." They had the afterburner fries or whatever.

Thank you for being logical! Seems to be something that is ignored.

The problem I see with the front gate view is that you're met with brown shingles and an advertisement. A coaster would do no worse than that in terms of the view.

Documents have been submitted (for a while, just never went to look again) and it looks like they're basically doing a whole renovation from top to bottom. There will be a new HVAC system which will be nice on those hot days!

Looks like the 3 cell towers in/around the park are getting upgraded...$30,000 job value for each tower.

Walk through the front gate I would prefer a ride on Orion or Beast first.

Assuming a marketing agency.

I wish there were more topiaries in the park. The landscaping of the park at one point could have been considered an attraction itself.

That 50' platform sure has space..but ADA access is not there, and the elevators do not stop there.

I just want them to use all entries....how often do we arrive and the only entry lines/gates are the ones closest to Invertigo. If you park on the south side of the sign it's not very convenient to get into the line for that entry area.

From what I gathered at Winter Chill Out, the Iron Dragon Queue will be closer to Coasters and the Fast Lane will utilize the former entrance queue. I am guessing that this artist rendition isn't fully what the area will look like. Based on the removal of Celebration Stage, I was able to see how the midway will not be all that bottlenecked.

Of course there have been examples of Opening In 20XX but then not opening til the following year.

Legacy Six Flags had the app thing right. I liked being able to go into Six Flags St. Louis and utilize the chain's app to get information about the park I was in and then when visiting Six Flags Great Adventure I was able to use the same app to check out that park's info. The app did great in regards to utilizing the membership including the fact that it never glitched. I just wish the add ons made it's way through all parks...I don't know why they couldn't implement a way to make it happen.

I know I didn't make it and I love wine.

Yeah, very interesting. Wondering if that was part of a pre-merger concession or something. Maybe not..lol. Either way the structure of the company has drastically changed that's for sure. Always love your insights sir and congratulations for going through RAAM.

That must have recently changed, because Carrie at one point oversaw them as part of her GM role per conversations with her.

Did not hear that at WCO....have heard people say that...but it wouldn't make sense.....the Cedar Point role is more than just Cedar Point...it's also over the resorts.
