Not necessarily. The park always had a "buy one get one free" sale on passes towards the end of the season, and they had multiple levels of season passes. Still, you would think with that many passes being sold that they'd have money to pay bills and make other improvements to the park. Why do you think they would be able to pay the bills with that? Obviously they couldnt if they closed. If the water was turned off, then it was likely not paid. I think we are all underestimating how much the bills at the park would cost. While the passes sold would give the mark just under a million dollars, thats for the year, not a month. If the park only made 1 M then thats just a little more than $83K per month. If the park has to pay creditors (people that financed the park), bills (electric, water), Maintence (paint, fixing of rides), crew (people have to do the work and run the rides), training, goods (shirts, food, etc), and other bills. All is said, does not seem like enough money. What I meant is that they didn't necessarily make $792k off the season passes. Sorry for the confusion.

Plenty of people from New Albany and surrounding cities in Indiana. Takes 10 minutes to get there from my cousin's house in New Albany, Indiana. There are less than 40,000 people in New Albany...

Hopefully, Flash isn't required, like it is to buy tickets/passes (a very dumb thing, Mac). The only flash on the site is the informational video.

There's probably more to it than just not wanting to lose profits on alcohol sales. At Kroger, alcohol sales don't count towards your fuel rewards points. It could be that there's a state law preventing them from counting alcohol sales towards Fun Perks rewards.

That is what I meant by "too" successful - it's possible that they were selling out sooner than they had planned and the demand was far greater than the amount they were willing to sell. It will be interesting to see if KI has a similar increase in their FL prices within the coming weeks.

With the grand opening of the newly expanded waterpark and temperatures forecast to be in the low 90s tomorrow, I would definitely expect large crowds. My sister was at KI last Saturday for the VIP waterpark preview and said she hasn't seen it that crowded before expect during the park's annual Spirit Song festival (a three-day Christian music festival).

Interestingly enough, Cedar Point has increased their Fast Lane price by $5, and they're an additional $5 each on Saturdays (so $55 for one during the week and $60 on Saturdays). Sounds like maybe it's been a bit too successful up there.

My 2nd visit has now been counted. I'm still at the One Star level but now have the free popcorn, free cotton candy and free Thunder Alley rewards available.

I'm curious as to how they expect to get 150,000 visitors from out of state.

This is definitely just for show. I did a bit more research on this, because I was wondering why he filed the lawsuit in Hamilton County when The Beach is in Warren County. As it turns out, Mike DeWine's son Pat is a judge on the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas. In addition, Pat is running for a seat on the state's First District Court of Appeals this fall - the very same district which covers Hamilton County...

I can understand the hyphen in "Carowinds" in the mobile version since "winds" is on a separate line from "Caro", but one would think they'd fix that for the full article ("Caro- winds" as it says). The version in the Toledo paper is at least better than the one in the Sandusky paper: http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sandusky/news/cedar-fair/cedar-fair-takes-meeting-south Besides the fact that you have to subscribe to the electronic edition to read the entire article (seriously? You can't even read all of today's news for free?), they've got oddball spacing to prevent having to break lines in the middle of words, and the link at the end of the article to the "e*Paper" version is broken.

I would expect large crowds at least Saturday and Sunday - newly expanded waterpark opening to the public (with temps forecast to be in the low 90s), free admission for active/retired military personnel and discounts for the rest of their families, etc.

My visit from yesterday isn't showing up on the site yet and I didn't get a FunPerks receipt for either of the purchases I made at the park yesterday (one at RPW and one at Ice Cream Zone). I chose not to receive a copy of my receipt for the ice cream purchase but still have the one from RPW. Where do I enter this info on the site?

This is the first time I've ever heard of DB being down for anything other than weather.

Drop Tower was fully operational when I visited last Wednesday.

I have to ask about the last part, does the charger, charge like the iphone case it slips on the back and charges it that way, or what? Most of them just connect to the device via a standard USB cable. If you're curious, search Amazon for "portable USB charger". My original post didn't make sense to me, let me explain a little more, do you use it as you walk because I was curious do you have to leave it in the car plugged up, I know mine does and I was just curious The portable chargers can be used as you walk. Most of them are small enough to stick in your pocket.

If it were set up, you would see a notification about Tapatalk when accessing the forum from a mobile device.

I can tell you from experience that leaving your stuff laying around the park is not a good idea. Towels, sandals, shirts, etc. usually aren't bothered, but more valuable things are. I left my clothes in a backpack behind a random tree with my sandals and towel last year and the backpack vanished - containing my clothes, glasses, wallet, keys and cell phone. Fortunately for me the backpack turned up at Lost and Found the next day, and I only lost what little cash I had in my wallet, but that was not a fun time for me. From now on I will either leave the valuable stuff locked in the car (and out of site of course) or in a locker (though from the sound of things it will not be a locker in BB - it will either be one of the $2-an-hour ones by FoF or the ones by WWC (not sure if those are also $2-an-hour or not)).

Not available yet in Google Play Store (I still think "Android Market" sounded better...). I still have the old app on my phone, but didn't use it much last year in the interest of conserving battery life on my phone (I check-in to every ride on Foursquare and use a notepad app to keep track of what I ride). I am planning to buy a portable cell phone charger soon so I'll probably use it more this year.

It appears that most sand volleyball leagues in the area cost around $50 per person, so I'm guessing that's why they priced it at $45 per person.

I'm sure there are plenty of "top roller coasters" lists around the net, but it's always fun to discuss them either way... http://www.huffingto..._n_1522503.html My thoughts:

I've actually been twice, but it didn't count my visit from opening day, so here's where I'm at: Total visits: 1 Level: One Star Rewards available: two Free Drink Wristband certificates I spent about $12.98 at the park when I was there on Wednesday (one burrito and a $5 Sling Shot certificate) I'll check again after my next visit (probably this Wednesday, depending on the weather) and see if it gives me any additional rewards. I would assume the Sling Shot ticket counts towards Fun Perks rewards, as the ride op asked me if I had Fun Perks before he scanned my pass.

I sincerely doubt we'll see all the volleyball courts occupied at all times every weekend from June 16th to August 19th. There are literally dozens (if not hundreds) of sand volleyball courts in the Cincinnati area, so there are plenty of options available for those interested in the sport who want to play in a league. I imagine the park is trying to keep things flexible for those who are interested,
