Winterfest 2023 Discussion
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.

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.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
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.

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.

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

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.

Kings Island 2024 Entertainment Auditions
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???

I bought the Boysenberry coffee. It ended up being about $18, pre-discount. Very steep, especially since it’s only half of the size of a normal bag of coffee, but I wanted to try it. I’ll report on here how it is.
