I got this shirt on Sunday after seeing your pic! -
I had thought about going over to ride RR on Sunday since it was quite hot....decided it wasn't worth going to get my swim stuff from the car, head over to Soak City to change, buy a locker and then do the reverse after the ride.

I went for the 2nd time last month....it was as I remembered it....only worth staying for a max of 3 hours....lasted 2.5. Operations were awful...one train ops on the coasters that were open. Firebird went down for guest illness at 11:15....wasn't back up and running until 12:45. Batwing was down....Superman was great but one train ops with lackluster dispatches made a 2nd ride not viable. Wonderwoman's swing (the funtime sky flyer) was down....many other rides down too. The best part of my visit honestly was the SLC.

Most Beautiful Carousels
Orion-XL200 replied to johnjniehaus's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Conneaut Lake Park's Carousel is a goregous one...well was when they took care of it. This carousel was tragically awful but great at the same time. @XGatorHead 8904 -
What’s Dollywood up to?
Orion-XL200 replied to brenthodge's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
TBH those people who anticipated a drop track without any physical evidence (especially overtop of the train track) set themselves up for disappointment. A drop track would have been cool, but not once in my mind did I think it was going to happen. -
In passing, I saw the Dorney Viva Fiesta event....it looked quiet underwhelming. Six Flags Over Georgia added a "water parade" this year (so did WOF)...however, the floats weren't ready by the time the parade was set to launch, so they just had employees walking a parade route with a metal banner, some spray packs on their back and that was it. There were delays in the float construction, but come on...if you can't do it right...don't do it!

Cincinnati Area Haunts
Orion-XL200 replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I have never heard of Area 13.....that seems interesting. The Dent Schoolhouse is phenomenal! I agree 100% @malem @pianoman and I went there last year (It was their first time but my 2nd). We had a blast. Such a well done haunt. -
Not sure exactly what you are wanting....but we talk about the dining plans and food here:

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2025 Discussion
Orion-XL200 replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
Shared last night that it looks like KI will be having the haunt attraction pass: -
There used to be a south toll. I don't believe it really helped much....often wasn't staffed/taken care of from what I remember hearing (I'm a north lot guy).

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
Orion-XL200 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Heading up there tomorrow for the weekend....but from what I've seen, there is work happening. I don't 100% believe it's a coaster..but who knows. -
Kings Island General Discussion 2025
Orion-XL200 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
I just had in mind that the fountains when redone were going to be like Canada's Wonderland and/or The Island in Pigeon Forge....what we got was the Temu version. -
Anyone can tell you it will be busy or won't be busy....your definition is different from theirs more than likely...just go and have as much fun as you can.

We sort of had one with Holiday Horror. I mean it was actually pretty cool....I think they could have invested more into it to keep it around.

Kings Island General Discussion 2025
Orion-XL200 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
LOL! I know the stand across from Diamondback does not (it has a water fountain on the outside...but it's a pain because people are usually standing there when my friend who drinks exclusively water tries to get around the people to get his water). -
Kings Island General Discussion 2025
Orion-XL200 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
The only problem with that, is that if you just want water, locations don’t even have it available on the machines. Unless you go to a freestyle location I think. -
Kings Island General Discussion 2025
Orion-XL200 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
I emailed the park with my opinion on the subject and got this response: I basically said that I felt it was unethical and inconvenient for the park to tell guests to either bring their own water bottle into the park or to play hide and seek with where water is available especially on hot days.
