Metal Massacre just felt like a real bizarre house. It did have great moments, but I just don't really understand the point of it. Order of The Dragon remains one of the best haunts they've ever done, if not the best. The Jason house rocks and the water room is very cool. I love the direction it's all going, and hopefully it continues once Kings Island is sold off to Herschend or some nasty private equity group.

Is this a joke about the skeletons on the coaster?

Just the usual AI slop for Six Flags at this point.

Does anyone that has been so far have a good suggestion for doing the Jason house? I know it gets super busy, but is it best to be over there when Haunt starts and get in line for it first thing, or is it better to wait until later in the night and get in line? Basically, when is the best time to venture over there without an Express pass?

I am gladly happy to pay extra money if things get significantly better, like the houses have.

And yeah, the show selection stinks real bad. I want to watch a midget BLEEEEEEEEED again.

Man, I'm so excited for Haunt. I'm going with my annual Dude Haunt crew on the 11th. This is legit our 15th year doing it. It feels like this is going to be the best year in a long time, and last year was already a step up from many years. If paying money gets these improved houses, I'll pay double!

I know some people never have a good word to say about the park since the Six Flags merger, but they are improving the Haunt at a stunning rate. Last year, I may have thought Dragon was better than the Conjuring House and both were absolute top tier houses. If Metal Massacre and the Jason house both deliver, it will be unbelievable what they have done since taking over.

Is the food menu out yet? God, I am hoping the Pumpkin Spice Beignets are back this year.

I would take the Halloween themed area over anything the park could ever add, by an enormous amount. I now will never be able to enjoy the park until that happens.

Yeah, man. We know. You've said it ad nauseam since leaving your position.

A lot of what Don says feels like sour grapes anymore. We get it. Everything KI and Six Flags does is bad now. Talk about being a broken record saying the same things over and over again.

You are not the only one, mate. I can't keep all the generative AI out of my life, but there's not a chance I'm going to support any new to me thing that uses it.

Yo, post it under a spoiler tag. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Thank you again. You acted like an adult and I appreciate you.

They gotta have more designs to sell their slop to the masses. Can't get coaster boys to buy the same shirt multiple times a year.

Thank you for admitting you were wrong. I appreciate it.

Also, I'm CPI trained and on our Crisis Response Team. I've dealt with kids in their most extreme and difficult moments. I work in a school currently that has the wealthiest families per capita and they have the exact same issues I had in the school with Title I funding for being the highest poverty school per capita. Sure, there are times poor parenting is to blame for student struggles, but that is not the case most of the time. From my 15 years of experience working hands on with children. Now, when I was an intake officer and licensed probation officer working at the juvenile detention center, many of those kids had difficult family situations, but that is a very small percentage of the youth population being arrested and brought to the detention center. I would not extrapolate the issues I saw at the detention center to the regular issues happening in schools and the like.

I'm a special ed teacher. I've worked in both elementary schools and high schools for closing on 15 years now.

Did any of you see the Ramones when they played? As a life long punk rock goon, that's the one that always blew my mind. July 18th, 1990.

Mate, I had tremendous parents and I was still an absolute terror and hoodlum. Its brought on by kids being kids with bad brains that don't function properly.

Rhetoric involves using writing to influence an audience, not letting the audience dictate your writing for you.

Bizarre, but go off, I guess. I can't imagine basing my posts around what random people think on an amusement park message board. I like to think for myself, but you do you.

Do you think every storyteller cares about the opinions of every audience member? I've told many stories in many different forms of media, and never once did I care what anyone who read it thought about it. I wrote it for myself, for whatever reason. This particular story, I wrote to tell a humorous tale of an event that happened to me. Some people will like it. Some people will not like it. Do you make every single post concerned with what anyone else will think of it? You keep the audience in your mind the entire time you type every word?

It might not be a flex, but it is funny. That's the point of the story. Some stories are written to be a funny story.
