Absolutely. Has anyone else seen at least some of the Disney ride breakdowns and/or animatronic malfunction videos on YouTube? Ive been obsessed with those. The ways that Disney’s animatronics can malfunction are as hilarious, memorable, and memey as many of the rpg game Skyrim’s glitches like the one where a horse a player rides and then dismounts ends up walking diagonally up into the sky and vanishing.

I have been really impressed with how quickly theyve been getting people through the line at the Festhaus LaRosa’s as of late. The last handful of times Ive had pizza there, they churned through guests so fast that I was treated to very fresh and hot pizza. It tastes so much better that way(after cooling down for just a couple minutes). Skyline’s taste and quality never changes but I waited like 15 minutes after ordering to get my food from there shortly before park closing on Saturday night. I understand that Skyline’s a serious hustle to work at and can relate to an extent due to how brutal my shift was at my job on Sunday and being threatened with being written up yesterday if I didnt do a task Ive only done partially once a twice. But Ive been getting meals there since spring 2014 with the dining plan every single year. It took so long to get my food there that a few minutes in, most people who I saw waiting when I starting waiting had already gotten their food with no more than 7 other people than me waiting for their food after that. Cant speak on pizza at Soak City because I havent been there yet this year because my job has me working on a schedule where the days I work change week after week and sometimes, I get completely random different starting and/or ending times for my shifts than Im used to. And also partly because I went to a convention 2 weekends ago where over $18,000 was raised for charity and it was a blast. Anyway, I CAN speak on Sweet Spot treats more than before. The creme bruleé(however thats spelled) cookie was really good, I got to have it hot and fresh, made from scratch. The Phantom Theater Popcorn Tart is really good. I just wish the cream in it was distinct in taste from the cream used in other treats Ive tried at Sweet Spot this year. There is a uniformity in cream in some of the treats. The Snickerdoodle bite was really good, it was like a frozen cookie dough treat. I loved eating refrigerated cookie dough as a kid and theres edible cookie dough sold in places like Jungle Jim’s. The Cookies N Cream tres leches or whatever its called was really good as well. So far, my top 2 favorites are that creme bruleé cookie at number two and the Neopolitian ice cream sandwich(which is the best value of all the treats in that shelf when looking at it from how muchmass and volume it contains versus its cost and comparing that to the other treats. Dont have to measure its mass or volume, you just have to look at it and the other treats.) at number one so far. I will note that a lot of the times Ive had treats at Sweet Spot this year, many of their treats have been well decimated due to me usually getting treats from there after 8 PM and one of those times, my sibling and I waited like 10 minutes for someone to come and ask what treats we wanted and what not. We were there at the front of the line just standing there, bored.

I really like the show. Not sure why theres dancing parts and I dont really care for them nor the song choice for the first dance number that sounds like something recorded and released about 10 years ago. Overall a great show though. The moment during the levitation trick where everyone else raises their arms in combination with the song playing gives off memey moment vibes to me. The parts where Brad Ross brings kids up to the stage are very cute and where most of the humor lies. Theres some wiggle room for those parts for the magician which is good. I dont know how most magic tricks work so I was blown away and impressed the first time I saw it(2 Fridays ago, the rehearsal show). The song choices are solid for the most part especially the first one they used and the one for the sword one. The sword trick is my favorite part of the show. The whole samurai theme and everything was awesome not to mention the swords themselves. I prefer European longswords but those swords were still really cool. (I own steel swords and sword train with some of them regularly.) It was indeed pretty overdone to have so much woman in a box tricks, could have used more variety. The front curtain that is visible most of the day inside the theater is really impressive with the illusion it gives off.

Yeah, I always see mess on those tables but its definitely worse this year. I saw like 8 geese in the patio and around it a few weeks ago. I was shocked. Never seen so many anywhere outside of the fountain’s area.

Thats one of my favorite things to see at Kings Island! I make it a point to at least look at it once while passing by it. (Heavily biased in favor of it because I love plate armor and I own steel plate armor that I like to wear even though it can be a real pain to put on by myself.)

Thats really unfortunate

Same. Grape flavored ice cream is different but Im so willing to try.

A Haunt/FearFest legacy store would be an excellent way to sell merch. Im sure a lot of people would enjoy even simple t shirts with the logos of many of the haunted houses from over the years on them. KI’s missing out.

As a lover of plushies, I can say for certain that more adults love plushies than society implies. Have plushies of Maestro, Archie, and Larry and.. those would sell like hot cakes for sure or for further comparison, bananas too.

Some sloppers claim that it makes art more accessible to disabled people. It doesnt. Disabled artists hate AI slop and just keep on creating art.

I didnt know they have one! This is so cool! Id love to work in there! I did do some graphic design projects at trade school.

Finally got to ride! I love the queue, it kept me pretty entertained for quite some time. The portraits in the hallway are excellent. And the loading area.. Far exceeded my expectations! Its so cool! I was struggling with learning the blaster basically the whole ride. Between that and how many scenes there are, it took some time for my brain to process it all and my love of the ride increased as a result while using the bathroom after getting off the ride. I am really pleased about the castle redesign and the designs of the vehicles and blasters and that they brought the most iconic song from PT: E into the ride. Projecting notes on a lot of the scenes instead of having screens everywhere was a brilliant move. Larry running around the way he is towards the end of the ride is such a clever reference to Scooby Doo/Boo Blasters. The scene that references was one of my favorite things about Scooby Doo/Boo Blasters. I was honestly really shocked at how different the scenes are compared to Boo Blasters to be honest. Overall, it is a fantastic addition to Kings Island and I need to ride it more to fully appreciate and process everything that is there on ride. Way better than Villain Con Minion Blast and Fast & The Furious Supercharged.

I have had mixed feelings about fireworks over the last 8 years and have generally come to mainly dislike them for how loud they are, especially after some of the neighbors started spamming fireworks many nights in 2024 which continued last year as well. If they do cut the fireworks, that would be a shame but at the same time, the drone shows look really cool and there have been studies on the disruptions fireworks have on the likes of pets and wild animals such as the development of trauma.

Im amazed Invertigo survived the 2024/2025 off season to be honest. It has gotten so rough in the last few years that the last time I rode it, it was so bad I swore to never ride it again as much as Ive loved to ride it.

The Festhaus men’s restroom has been in desperate need of a refresh for several years now, The men’s near the junkyard coaster(the worst one in the entire park in my view) as well as the Soak City ones too. Its about time for an off year at this poiny.
