There are two types of parks: Park 1: Guests: “Hey, I paid $400 for this VIP season pass and the benefits are only about 40% of what was advertised.” SPX: “You got to get into the park didn’t you? What else do you want? You’re so entitled. Your complaint is as adorable as it is predictable.” Park 2: Guest: “The park has been really busy for the Christmas event.” Park: …just remember that Park One greatly reduced hours in 2024 as well.

Don and I dropped our first ever breaking news edition of the Attractions Group Podcast about this: https://linktr.ee/attractions_group

The development will be a new music venue that will be added to the two already there.

Will be redeveloped. https://www.fox19.com/2023/12/14/coney-island-permanently-closing-end-year/?outputType=amp

That would be a looooong time for something like that to survive. Plus those things probably aren’t exactly bank-breaking. Almost all of the WF 05 was sold to EnterTRAINment Junction for pennys-per-pound. They wanted it off the property. EJ used much of it and threw away a lot. I’m not certain if they resold any of it, but I could find out. If they are the same ones they were probably restrung with new lights.

December 8: December 12 ___________ December 4 December 12 You can set your watch to it. #AAAIIP Sorry @Tr0y..

I’m not doubting you. But one of the photos wasn’t cited, and the person who took the photo called it out. The guy who took the photo has been around for a long time and has shared his photos with the park on countless occasions. I’m not saying that Elizabeth did this on purpose, but it was an oversight that she was quickly called on. Lesson learned.

I’m old enough to remember when Kings Island was fully staffed last summer. If only we had: Dorms Competitive Pay A large employment market to pull from Hmmm…. It’s almost like it’s on purpose.

True, but it sure seems like every other chain has figured it out.

She’s testing already! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/RFygkbBEkJkn5eTd/?mibextid=UalRPS

TL;DR Kelly Ford out as CMO. Will stick around until March in a non-executive role. No replacement or plans for the position disclosed. With mergers, the cuts are deep. The first thing Six Flags is going to want to do is see how they can save money by centralizing positions. They may have a small PR team out of corporate rather than one at each park, same with social, strategic alliance and so on. If they bring in another CMO, they’ll want to bring in their own people. I’ll be surprised if Elizabeth, Selfie, Tony, or anyone that is marketing-adjacent comes out the other side of this still holding their employee badge.

Yep. I am friends with people who know them. The guy has been threatened several times by KI Security for not wearing shoes. He puts on flip flops until they walk away.

Not a good start…. Expect the comment to be hidden. #AAAIIP

Price is relatively fair too. Every once in a while you get things that make you think they’re out of their minds (i.e. 50th anniversary banner for $75) but for the most part the price is fair.

Oof… did you get a write up or at least a stern talking to for invading Cedar Point’s territory?

What was Chad blamed for that wasn’t the responsibility of the comms team?

You've seen the future of the KI channels the past five months.

THE POINT IS The coffee is okay.

Without knowing what boysenberry tastes like, how would that data be beneficial?

It was pretty good! Had a bit of a raspberry taste to it. Worth trying as a one-time thing.

But it’s so easy….

Don: “Check out my latest blog!” KIC: “This is great! Thanks Don!” SP Group: “Very neat! I didn’t know about this!” KI Comms: CTRL + C, CTRL + V

I don’t think the policy is to hire by groups. I think they hired River City because they know the right people, no disrespect - they’re awesome! Go ahead and audition! They will probably need a sax player. What’s the worst that can happen???
