Either sign it or not! I do believe that it will help. Yes it does help to show them by actions but, I do believe that telling them enough is enough will help also. We should be doing everything that we can do. This world has gotten so cynical.

Cedar Fair is one park that does listen to the people so by signing this it will get noticed by the powers that be! Thanks Interpeter for your support.I want to make sure they get the message load and clear!

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company high food and beverage prices have risen to a place that makes it difficult for family's to enjoy a complete amusement park experience. Our hope with this petition is to send a message to Cedar Fair executives that we the people have had enough of poorly prepared over priced food and beverages. Please sign this petition if you would like to voice your concern to Cedar Fair Executives about poorly prepared over priced food and beverages. Thanks maybe we can make a difference

I agree, sell Geauga Lake, The Star Trek thing, Michigan's Adventure, and Gilroy Gardens. =] They only own to of those Geauga Lake and Michigan's Adventure they manage the other two.

If it is, two words come to mind: securities fraud. Note that the stock was already rising for no explained reason for several days before this "leak." It was a joke......Interpreter

Maybe it was there way of raising stock prices! I sure hope this does not happen I have visited KI more this year than ever in my life. I am doing my part!

So when is this happening!

Please explain why you have such faith in Dick K? I'm seriously curious as to why some seem to have an affinity for him. Now don't get me wrong, I'm so much happier that CF (at least for the time being) owns KI over Paramount, but I really don't see what Dick K has done that is even remotely special? Dick has done a lot for the company he has steadily grown the company since he has taken over. I can see him wanting to add more of a resort feel to KI and maybe the board is not supporting him in the big money items he wants to add. Dick K is not going to let anything happen to his beloved chain and his baby Cedar Point. I know that for a fact, he has so much pride in that company. I am guessing he is looking for support from a company to help him GROW! He has signed a deal to stay with the company to just sell it off it just don't make sense.

I am so sick to my stomach about this...I never thought that Dick would be a sell out, but then I started to think about this. What if the board is not supporting Dick in all the things he wants to do with the parks to make them grow, then what else would you do about it. Look for someone to support you! I have had faith in Dick K for years and if he thinks this is a good move then in Dick K I trust.

Cedar Points myspace page has all the sounds you are looking for.

I got stuck on Maverick Thursday May 31st in the launch tunnel for 1.5 hours because the power went out in the back half of the park. Had to climb down out of the train on some ladders. The nice thing was I got to walk on when it reopened.

I also remember this show....WOW I am OLD!

I did say something to them about line jumping and they ignored me so then I had no choice. They made me do it

Thanks for the great pic!

I hate line jumpers and I will call them out on it. The last time I was at the park a girl and a guy jumped the Q in Tomb Raider and even though the line was very short I still told a ride op and had them removed from the line. The girl said I should grow up and thanks for telling on them. I said if you followed the rules I would not have to tell on you. How many of you do you tell on line jumpers.

OMG Maverick is AWESOME. It has something for everyone, but the best part is airtime! Side note don't hold your hands up I have bruises on both shoulders from being tossed around. Anyone else have the same issues?

I think it is really two early for any of us to tell how Cedar Fair is going to do with these new parks. As far as for the food prices, I think we are all forgetting that the starting wage went up and they have to recoup that cost.

First Jeff now Maureen! Good Grief Charlie Brown! Best Wishes......I am sure you will be fine, You are great at what you do.

I do not think they will bring back the trams. If I recall correctly none of Cedar Fair parks have trams.

Good to see that Six Flags is still screwing up everything!

I don't want to get rid of the skycoaster I just want to switch face off and skycoaster.

I am guessing no one likes my ideas. LOL good thing I am not in charge then.

This is just what I would do if I was in charge, but since I am not I am sure only a few of the things I list we will get to see come to true! International Street I would first open back up the restaurant above the gate with an international flare. Then I would expand the walkway down International Street with more of a café feel. I would also take out Scooby and connect that building with International Street and make a Soar (Disney) type ride where you enter and exit the ride on International Street. I have always felt that International Street needed a ride on it. I would also rename Paramount Theater to The International Theater. I would also add a lighting package to the Eiffel Tower. Paramount Gardens would be taken out and returned back to the Tower Gardens Oktoberfest I would return Oktoberfest back to its former glory; first I would put back the ice show and update the food to German food. Take out the Viking Fury and replace it with a German themed Screaming Swing, Also change the theme to Adventure Express to more of a German theme maybe racing around the black forest. Would also relocate the slingshot to another part of the park. Action Zone This area needs a lot of work I think this is where most of the updates would go if I were in charge. I would remove Timberwolf and put in a Hotel on property. Relocate Sling Shot to this area along with adding a Putt-Putt course so you would have more of a Challenge park area. Relocate Congo Falls to Rivertown. Flip Face off and Sling Shot. Add a new gate area to get into the park. Reconfigure the queue to Top Gun and continue the path around Top Gun and SOB and connect it with Area 51. Area 51 Put in restaurant and restrooms along with a gate to enter from the new Kings Island Village and Camp Ground. Add a new flat ride with a space theme. Leave land and paths open for future expansion. Coney Mall This area is pretty good as is, add new flat rides to the end area of Coney Mall area, maybe a Topple Tower where Flight Commander used to be. Relocate Italian Job to where the FX Theater is now and return that area back to the former glory with the racing cars on the Coney Mall side and Antiques Cars on the rivertown side. Rivertown Place a B&M Inverted coaster over and around Swan Lake. Retheme Tomb Raider to a fit more of the Rivertown theme. Place Congo Falls in this area so you have all the water rides together and also retheme Wild Thornberry back to a logging company and add more shops to give it more of frontier town feel. Return the train back to a more enjoyable experience with the props returned. Nickelodeon I would retheme all of Nick to Camp Snoopy. Boomerang Bay I would keep the name the same, just add more slides and put in another wave pool with maybe a hotel on this side of the property as well. I would also put in more trees and shade. Over all, I think every things needs a good paint job and cleaned up with more trees and flowers. I know this is a lot of stuff, but this is how I would make Kings Island even better.

I see a B&M inverted going in before something like that! Something that is more of a people mover.
