This is well thought out and does make a lot of since, but I think you’re giving them too much credit. In my opinion it boiled down to current/recently former generational ownership being completely inadequate at running the park. There’s a laundry list of greed driven, poor decision making since said individual took over. The park took on a severe amount of debt as a result and didn’t stand a chance.

This was back in 2020 during the begging of Covid, but it involved allowing immigrant students to stay in the country due to the state of the world. It also involved access to online education. But yeah, these typically don’t do anything. As sad as it is to admit, I even think that’s a stretch. Seems like a done deal to me. But in regards to the public backlash, I haven’t encountered anyone online who’s been happy about the decision. As far as public outcry, well, having just been down at Coney in the last hour I can say that it’s beginning: (pictures taken legally) Whether people voicing their displeasure will do anything is unlikely. But it’s starting to happen. I ran into another enthusiast with a pretty sick Beast license plate and we talked for a bit. It’s a shame. Rick if you’re on here, it was great talking with you! Satalite WLWT truck pulled up as I was leaving. Might get more info on the news tonight.

I had signed one that actually worked. I think the hope of this one is that the historical nature of the grounds, infrastructure, and buildings should be reason enough for them to be saved. That’s where the government would theoretically step in. Don’t really know how, or if that would even work.

Best .79 cents one could spend, I guess. Coney Island, Cincinnati…. What a loss.

That’s a funny way to spell Live Nation.

At least we’re getting a music venue in the area. Definitely need another one of those.

Mods, can we have a day to ignore the no profanity rule?

We need OUR flyers back! To replace the other basketball game. Haha.

Conflicted. Don’t hate that idea at all because we gotta take better care this our spinning rock, but…. Trains are too cool.

Horrible news about their train. Truly a unique experience. I wonder what happened?

Looking forward to seeing him materialize in January when my wife and I visit the parks. Had a chance to see him at Disneyland last year during our honeymoon. Love the character and the history, but I have to agree with @Shaggy about the placement in the WDW mansion. Not a fan of that at all.

Gotta say, I’m pretty impressed with the meatloaf burger (brewhouse) and sausage (G&G). Had both last night and was blown away. Delicious!

Appreciate the heads up!

Why on earth wouldn’t this be promoted to death? Seems pretty cool. My wife and I have ironically been looking at new Magic Band +’s this week for our trip in January. Happy to see a little slice of that make its way to KI. But seriously, why hadn’t this been promoted at all?

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, does it?

If I were the park I wouldn’t want anyone filming Boo Blasters either. Pretty embarrassing.

Only if it’s surrounded by geese poop.

I, for one, am down to have Banshee rethemed to Landrum.

Hahahaha. The guy’s pulling excuses directly from some posters/posts on this site. Hilarious.

So cool. Love a good train!

As an old person who experienced Winterfest ‘05, I’d love to see something like the “Home For The Holidays” show. Doesn’t need to be a carbon copy, but something more show driven. Honestly, though. I’d be content with just new, fully functioning lights and displays accompanied by some popular Christmas songs. I really love the “12 Days” concept, but I just don’t think it’s easily executable in the right way.

Honestly, the KI&MVRR is the most underutilized aspect of the whole event, when it could easily be one of the “E-Ticket” Winterfest attractions. I hope it gets sone attention. I mean, what’s better than Christmas and Trains? (Answer: legitimate Prestige Pass perks)
