The huge sledding hill for KK Christmas is being built over the wave pool in Hurricane Bay - it’s a very impressive structure

Top Thrill 2 and Fastlane

CP should have used the months of down time to install free lockers in the somewhere in the queue line. Management knows how long the ride will be closed (although they don’t want to publicly admit the exact time frame, but given a re-design of “parts”, CP should have had time to be able to the add the free lockers in the queue (instead of saying not enough time prior to opening when the ride has been closed for months). Hopefully over the winter months free lockers will be added. ”Due to the later revision, the integration of lockers into the queue, similar to those at Steel Vengeance, was not possible.” -
Under the Stars, A KI Nighttime Spectacular webcam

Agree that the fountain re-do was a bust and the re-do was a very cheap design with no spinner or swaying jets. While the park could have made the decision to re-construct the original fountain pedestals with updated plumbing and led lighting effects for a grand appearance, the park chose to replace the pedestals with only stationary jets which were much cheaper and within the budget allocated (as well as updating the filtration system under the stage). The idea of having Snoopy direct a daytime fountain show to music would definitely help utilize the fountain better and provide another summertime day show at a very cheap overall cost. It might be possible to construct a lower level platform facing the fountain on the back side of the current stage for which Snoopy and friends to direct such a water show. -
CF/Six is not interested in park museums any longer. The Cedar Point town square museum closed during the pandemic for “remodeling” but later was announced it would not re-open. Such a shame as there were coaster models and interesting park exhibits in that park museum. Chain wide budget cuts make any park museum possibility very unlikely now.

ACE Spring Conference at Kings Island
Winterfestguy replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
Almost every year at Coasterstock it has rained at least one of the days. Looks like the ACE event (in place of Coasterstock) will be no exception. Pack that rain gear and be prepared for last minute itinerary changes due to weather on Friday! -

I would imagine that the Coastermania itinerary Q&A session will be updated for a different speaker given TT2’s current technical issue, but will see. 7:00 – 8:00 PM: Q&A Session A conversation and Q&A about Top Thrill 2 featuring Mike Maney, VP of Maintenance and Construction -
Coastermania 2024 Tickets

“Details for #Coastermania are now live. Tickets will go on sale early next week. As always, read the info so you're fully prepared before planning your visit or purchasing a ticket!“ However, seeing that the TT2 trains having to be modified and the required retesting, remains to be seen if TT2 will even be open for Coastermania. Also, appears no t-shirt but a TT2 poster instead. -
WCPO: Kings Island hints at major new roller coaster with survey
Winterfestguy replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
It was the double grilled chicken sandwich in the Brewhouse that was basically discontinued immediately after opening day. It has been widely reported that the double grilled chicken sandwich at the Rivertown Brewhouse, which was advertised to be a new food item along with the Dining Plans, has been permanently removed from the menu due to popular demand. This appears to now be official. -
KK is offering 50% off of food for their season pass holder preview day May 5. That’s better than any of the CF Pass Perks of $2 off a pretzel or cotton candy.

Security doesn’t seem to know their own policy with line jumping - holding a place in line is not allowed (the “or” in the policy rule makes it clear), but then again KI always seems to be inconsistent in applying their own rules depending upon who responds Line Breaking- includes leaving and re-entering a line for any reason or place holding in line

Top Thrill 2 and Fastlane

Think the bigger issue will be anyone with loose fitting shoes having to be removed before the queue - which means you are basically barefoot for a considerable amount of time on gross, dirty, hot concrete - and what is considered loose fitting shoes by one queue entrance attemdant may not be considered loose fitting shoes by the next (no surprise as CP always has inconsistencies in enforcing their policies) Loose-fitting shoes (any shoe without a strap or back, such as flip-flops or sandals) are not permitted past the entrance. Please keep this in mind, as you may not enter the line barefoot nor leave your shoes near the ride’s entrance. -

Just like with steel vengeance there are not enough lockers outside of the TT2 entrance to accommodate everyone’s loose articles, especially later in the day. Common sense would tell you no loose articles on a coaster of this magnitude so you design with the coaster with an in-queue lockers just like Universal does. What a stupid big miss my CP - can’t wait to see and hear all the complaints
