Weird. I copied the link from their web site. I wonder if it changed in this short amount of time.

I was wondering if the system is smart enough to prevent that. But also, 50% off an entree isn’t very valuable to someone with a meal plan, which, by scale, is a much bigger hurtle if you ask me.

I think for this particular instance, the Supreme Court made the right decision. The parks could not open. They didn’t choose not to. Selfishly, it is most of our best interests for the lawsuit to fail. More cash in FUN’s hands may lead to more and better investment. This would certainly have hindered that. I know that we are the ultimate special interest group, but for most of us, this is a good thing.

My girlfriend is super disappointed that the show isn’t coming back. She appears to be the only one who feels that way. I didn’t think the show was bad, but I thought it was a terrible underutilization of the park’s best theater.

To be clear: -The tree lighting was completely reworked last year -Cool Yule was reworked last year -Tinker’s Toy Factory: Christmas Fever is a sequel to Tinker’s Toy Factory, with almost all different songs and a different plot -Charlie Brown’s Christmas Spectacular was 5 or so years old, and is now retired I know some of the shows have a similar look and feel, but the product we have today is substantially different than what we had even in 2019.

I think this is more in line with what they did for Jungle X at Dominion. They didn’t have a local tie in, but it told a story, as does this.

JRA has direct ties to Kings Island. Don’t believe me? Read the book? They are an incredibly quality-driven company. This is exciting!!

You got the PR from the 10:00am announcement at 1:00pm?

1 will this still be the tshirt place? 2 looks like the thing at Jungle Xpedition. Will we have a show there? 3. What’s that?

So is Oktoberfest no more? Is Festhaus still going to be “Festhaus”? What about the glockenspiel?

Yes… yes you are. Then again, the sample size is, what? 40 people who saw that show?

I’d be shocked if it were year round. Dominion and Carowinds advertised year round ride op positions. Nothing like this out of KI. Plus, the weather is quite a bit more cold here in the winter. Here are the data:

With the development cost of Phantom, I think it’ll come back. It’s not uncommon for their shows to run two years. As awesome as that would be, the full time food thing is for a different purpose. The business direction of Cedar Fair is to have a general manager at most food locations. This person will be responsible for hiring, training, and retaining associates, among other things for that location. I am not offering insight as to whether or not any year-round stuff is happening, but I am saying that it is not an indication of that.

https://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/winterfest Notes after first glance: Tinker’s Toy Factory is in the KIT this year, where it should have always been. Woohoo!! Misletones are now roaming New Festhaus show:

https://www.miadventure.com/events/tricks-and-treats The Fair bites again today!

https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/kings-dominion-year-long-october-18-2022 People are posting about Carowinds too, but I couldn’t find a credible article as of the time of this writing. Virginia’s winters are only a little cooler than Cincinnati’s. I wonder if KI is on the table.

Edit: Tech issue. Please stand by.

Did you have a green icing in the middle? It seems like it has that filling about half the time. It’s never exactly in the middle, and it’s never consistent. Very good, though!

Reapers’ Sliders Santa Fe Chicken: Both from the food truck. They were both excellent! The sliders may be my new Tricks and Treats food!

During the Ghost Town section I’ve totally had the thought, “oh, so this is what a stroke feels like.” I’m not sure if I’d change it, but I can totally see why it bother people. This is the way I interpret the story: Cheerleader and Man Bun (along with a tourist?) are accosted by zombies. Banshee lady tries to seduce Man Bun Man Bun does his slack line to impress Banshee lady Cheerleader dresses like Sandy from Grease as an allegory for anger and depression Man Bun decides to go with Cheerleader instead Banshee lady screams in range Everyone walks away sadder but wiser No one ever sees the tourist guy again

I think he’s saying on the rides themselves. I wouldn’t be against that m, but what I’d ask is that you would tuck them away right before you ride (like on SV) rather than not being able to take it in line, like at Universal.

Only confederate fractional currency.

I’m on visit 70. I spend actual cash every visit. I have never gotten a Pass Perk. The park ambassadors said they are going to expand upon the program, with special perks for Prestige. That’s exciting, but the program is now well over a year old and nothing has changed. I’m excited for the prospect, but I’m tempting my expectations.
