It would be awesome if there were teasers in the park all season long and none of us had realized it yet.
I don’t think anyone ever did figure out the meaning behind the wicked witch and the winged monkey standing by the Eiffel Tower during Halloween Haunt.

Congrats to the winners...nice job!

The Beast should not be cheated out of it’s 40th Anniversary celebration for this new project...40 years and still relevant is an amazing feat.
It’s hard to say if Project X will be able to lay claim to the same thing 41 years from now.

If you're not interested there are plenty of other places in the forum
Although my prediction is probably accurate...it was just a joke.
(See, we’ve already added 3 posts about the discussing of the discussing of fonts.)

In hindsight I’m surprised the park ever had trams in the first place...waiting for one to come by took longer than simply walking to the park. (Yes, I’m old enough to remember them in their prime.)
if you think about how much you are walking around in the park all day, the walk to and from your car is nothing!

I was hoping we would be spending much of the summer discussing these teasers...
I know, just the discussion alone of why the park chose a certain font on the posters could have added at least another 10-12 pages to this thread.

...your post is an awfully elaborate form of gaslighting...
I just love seeing someone else using the term gaslighting! (When I use it, the younger generation just gives me a blank stare.)

Kind of seems early to start talking about the next season already when we are just still in June 2019..
Well, Project X really is “so yesterday” now!

Any updates where the campground stands...has the WC Planning Committee approved it...have they broken ground...anything?

Don’t most of the pictures have 2-6 other random people no matter whom say next to you?
A lot of times there are 3 of us...so a stranger either on Diamondback...or sitting next to one of us on any of the other coasters just kind of ruins it because you have to explain to friends that “No, no you don’t know who that person is”.
(As you know, they can crop a whole row of people out of a photo...so on rides like The Beast if there are 2 extra people behind us, it doesn’t matter.)
-
And, food for thought to any of the “higher ups” who might be reading this...I am more likely to purchase a photo of my family members on a coaster when it doesn’t include some random stranger in it.
(That alone should make them reconsider this policy....mmmmm.....more money!
)

I assume that majority of the people who frequent this site live fairly close to the park...that is not the case with me. After driving from Illinois I want to maximize my time with things I WANT to do...I have to be pretty upset to waste my time in Guest Services...especially if I think that all they are going to do is politely listen to me and then forget whatever I said as soon as I leave.
That is why I post things here (good and bad) once I am home.

...and she was just doing it because she could.
Sounds like she’s missing her calling as a security guard at concerts.

^Can’t decide if that’s a photo of footers with a watermark...or a photo of a watermark that just happens to have footers in the background.

@Gordon Bombay @Joshua @teenageninja I think my point was missed...my point was that I think it is a cop-out to blame a few posters for the lack of another KIC Day. The root of the problem has to go deeper than that.
As for running into a (very very very) occasionally rude employee, believe me, I can empathize. I worked with the public for over 20 years... and Joshua was right on the money when he said the GP can be “real snots”.
Whoever made up that old “The customer is always right” slogan never dealt with the public! (In the past I have even been held up...but oddly enough, that wasn’t the worst,,, it was was when a customer didn’t get a refund they felt they deserved, he threatened to be waiting for me with a knife after work...I worked alone...he never showed...but by his demeanor I was sure he was going to be waiting for me.)
I find it amazing that I could be having a great day with countless customers... but get just one bad one and it ruins your whole day...so believe me, I (almost) know what the associates deal with...but I can’t imagine dealing with the sheer volume of people they have to contend with. To be able to keep a smile on their face throughout the day is an amazing feat, something I do notice...and I do appreciate.
(Have I hijacked this thread enough?!...I’ll get it back on course,,,boy those buildings look great this year!)

When was the last KIC Day at the park? Yeah, you can thank people like this.
For the park condemn the whole KIC community based on a small percentage of posters would be as fair as me condemning the whole park when I run into a rude park associate.

That at least kind of makes sense. As does my candy apple, I suppose.
Like a drug dealer getting you hooked...then raising the price.

The ginkgo trees have been removed and replaced with Autumn Blaze maple trees as of April 2018.
I didn’t realize that...I could of swore it was just the last Haunt when I smelled them in Coney Mall...I guess time flies when you’re having fun!

I had an odd/bad experience on our last visit at Diamondback. The op asked us how many were in our party...three...then assigned us to two different cars?!? We ignored his assigned choices and stood in a car where we could all be together...when he saw what we did he didn’t confront us, but he did give me a death stare. I was about to go over and explain why we did what we did but the gates opened for us to board.
Why bother asking how many in your party if you’re going to split them up?!

^ That sewer smell that’s over by Delrium every now and then.
That EXTREMELY nasty smell that the female ginkgo trees make in the fall
The petting zoo area.
