Are the Adventure port trash cans the same as the newer ones like area 72 and camp snoopy because if it is it shows a trend of them moving to that newer design of trash cans to each area. Maybe 2027 could see all new trash cans for the whole park instead of a ride wouldn't that be nice! Seriously would not want something unless it was big. Savor the small things the moments that you get in the mean time it isn't about the ride it's about the people your company it is bigger than a place it is where people can have good people in there lives it brings them together. So what if it takes 4-5 more years. But if adventure port has the bad trash cans it could just be for a lack of capital in the investment or it coudl be that it doesn't matter to them.

I thought this deserved a shout out, but the Carowinds communication team did a phenomenal job this weekend and it was really refreshing to see. It didn't feel like the corporate season pass sale deals being shoved down your throat, but instead it brought attention to the park in a positive way. Especially all of the clarification they were doing on there X it just felt more genuine and it was thoughtful instead of the typical nonsense being shoved down our throats. Is this what people want to see or am I crazy?

I was thinking at the beginning of all of this that if Kings Island were sold it would be a blessing, but I have done a complete 180. Six Flags is doing its best to right the ship and it seems like it may work out. If Kings Island were sold off to a smaller chain I would be worried about smaller and less frequent investments due to the fact of having less money to spend. If the park were sold off I would like to see it go to a larger chain like United or Herschend my main fear is private equity. Private equity has a tendency to have profit margins being the leading decision maker which scares me because it ends up creating a watered down experience where guests won’t spend as much.

What ai are you using for this it is very impressive. Did it make it a full 3d rendering where you can spin around and see the back or is it just this stationary image?

I was super surprised to see the combined attendance for these parks it is literally nothing at all. 4.5 million is a decent amount, but I would be more interested in what there margins look like. If they have razor thin margins already I doubt we will see much investment in the parks. Hopefully, these parks will be well taken care of. I like to think that this fate is better then just shutting down these parks.

Working at Sweet Spot it was always interesting when people would try to come in as soon as the park opened. We would be in prepping in the morning and you would look over and see people knocking at the door or just trying to yank it open. It was like 10am chill out guys.

It appears that they are slowing updating the retail spaces in the front of the park. Hopefully this trend will continue because they are a lot nicer than before.

This would be the most depressing employee eatery. Stuck underground with no place to look outside or get fresh air. That place would be straight evil.

While I imagine it would be super cool. I think his portfolio kind of dwarfs climbing the Kings Island Eiffel Tower. Now I could see him climbing the real one. But if they offered enough money I could see that he would be interested, but even then that does put more liability on the park. But it would be cool to see.

Knott's also has yet to open Montezooma's revenge!!! Hopefully it will open this year. I know they had a few problems with the company who was doing the refurbishment.

I’m really loving how active the socials have been about this new dark ride. It appears that the park and the marketing teams realize how special this is and they are really pushing it which makes me happy. You can tell there are lots of passionate people bringing this project to life and they want to show us all the work and time going into this addition!

It is nice to see that the park is once again pushing stuff like this on there socials. It seems that the current marketing team sees the value in stuff like this. It does bring pride to everyone in the area when they win so it is nice to see. When I was an associate it always felt good knowing that you contributed to that and even as a guest you get to contribute to it as well by voting.

Thanks for the clarification I could not remember so hopefully it will be back for next year. Especially since they painted the platform. But the chain has done crazier things than painting something and removing it right after.

I like how they integrated the online store with the rides and attractions on the site. Now they just need to update the store! Also a few of the shopping places are missing. Also the picture they have of the "Beast Cart" is a picture of The Beast Photo stand. The "Beast Cart" I believe is located under the arcade pavilion. The Sweet Spot and Kings Island Collections (I think that is what they are calling it now formerly the Squishmallow store) is missing from the new site and the photo for Coney Confections picture is severely outdated and the fixture in the picture is no longer in the store. The food stand side of the website looks fine, but it appears that the merchandising team could update their side of the site or at least get new pictures sent in.

The monster is still listed on the new website which is a good sign. They did remove the message that they were waiting to install a part. Was this ride open for WInterFest last year? If so I really hope that we see its return for Winterfest. If not things still look very promising that this is not the end for the ride.
