We didn’t forget about you, Gold pass holders!

“An All Park Passport is exactly like a Platinum pass.” Nope.

The monthly items were certainly a plus. But, as you may recall, they weren’t included in the Dining Plan the first few months, presumably because enough people complained.

“Ever” is a very long time.

It’s quite telling about how this year will go based on the fact that the other parks are showing off their lavish dishes that are new for 2024 and KI booked a photo shoot for their pizza and fries.

Oh they find a way. But seriously, I’m not saying it’ll make the bad crowd worse. I’m saying it could make a good crowd bad in addition to the bad crowd.

I believe that you cannot use them in the arcades too. If anyone knows differently, please fact check me.

Here is a good one too!

Enjoy your shelter between the dumpster and the restroom, Kings Island Prestige Pass holders.

Correct, and with the whole industry on edge about fights and misbehavior in the parks, I’m not sure how wise of a move it is to continue to introduce such a thing. But let’s not kid ourselves - this thing will be seldom open.

You also have to remember, they removed two restaurants that were on the Dining Plan for two bars that aren't. That's almost certainly by design.

Plus your KK pass is worth more than ever now, contrasting another pass which is diminishing.

I’ve seen a fair amount of that too.

No, it won’t make a difference; however, I’m willing to say that every top spender that gets fed up and leaves is replaced with the no-money-spending, payment plan, gets-in-fights type.

You’ll notice that you are valued at Dollywood. Their welcoming attitude and appreciation for its guests is as adorable as it is predictable.

Just Sunday? That’s easy.

You are correct. Same with passes in general. “We can do anything we want and they’ll still come.” Won’t change until they don’t come.

You know, I can forgive stories of “my pass didn’t work” or “I had trouble with my meal plan.” That comes with the territory. It’s the associates telling people incorrect information that concerned me. Between that, and the less-than-ethical business practices that we’ve seen out of the company in the past year or so that makes me and others hesitant to purchase prepaid plans. I’m not sure if that will get any better anytime soon.

I agree that they are splitting hairs, but I'm almost lead to believe that if this hadn't happened, the Walkers may not have even opened next year. They haven't exactly been known for their slam-dunk business decisions over the past decade.

I actually recently ordered a new copy of this book on Amazon since I was thinking about it and couldn't find the copy I bought when it came out. It has some cool facts about rides that are kind of obscure.

Not to mention, Herschend has certain values that are not consistent with the thinking of many Cedar Fair people. When we had Joel Mandy on the Attractions Group Podcast, he spoke very highly of HFE and how they truly put the guest at the center of everything. For other Teams... "It's as adorable as it is predictable." ...and the sentiment shows.

Why was the Corporate Communications Manager serving you fries? Unless you're talking about Dollar Days in which... yeah, those people had to help serving fries...

Wait… they’re charging admission and showing a show that they don’t own? I’m the first to admit that I’m not a lawyer, but this sure seems like a copyright violation. Does anyone have any expertise on this that can prove me right or wrong? I’m going to assume that they didn't pay to license it for one day…

It’s almost like the budget cuts were directly aimed at Kings Island…

Scale of 1 to 10: how likely would to be for the Kings Island Team to even allow that?
