Pagoda Gift Shop

Seems like the major backlash is still yet to come. Right now I don't think 90% of season pass holders even realize it will be an upcharge this year. I think the workers at the maze entrances are also going to take a lot heat when they have to turn all those confused people away.

What a map. Thanks for sharing.

The Coasterstock schedule/itinerary is now on the KI website. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/coasterstock

I'm surprised they ever allowed people to choose seats after closing time. The standard behavior is that after close, all rows get filled. A ride crew having to stay late to run trains with just the front seat filled is unusual.

It's pretty hard to predict anything with flat rides based on pictures. They sometimes completely disassemble them during the off-season. Shake Rattle and Roll was completely gone in 2014 and returned again in 2015.

I remember Xtreme Skyflyer looking absolutely massive when I first saw it in 1996. At that time, the tallest thing nearby was King Cobra which was only about 100 feet tall. It never looked as big after Drop Zone/Drop Tower was built nearby in 1999. Edit: RCDB has a nice photo from 1996.

The weather was fantastic today.

Who calls it the main tower?

I can only speak for myself, but I've seen enough Brady Bunch mentions by the park to last a lifetime. In my opinion if they want to bring up nostalgic memories at this point, it's time to start focusing on the Paramount era.

Just catching up on this thread, and I have to say the above screenshot is a great example of how bad the current pass system is. You can't read the full title of any of the options. The pictures of food are meaningless. The circle and square labels were added to try to make things less confusing. There are too many options, you should never have to go to page 2 to see them all. It should only show the options relevant to the current customer. If that person is buying gold passes, it should only show gold pass options and nothing else.

My family stayed at Breakers at Cedar Point last week. We did multiple days at the park. When we checked in, we were given "receipt like" printouts for each family member. These served as our ticket to the park each day and to get our drink wristbands each day. Needless to say, those generic white pieces of paper were very important. This is a step backward from where things were 20 years ago where you had an obvious ticket for each person for each day. Also, when leaving the park and needing later re-entry, they take your picture and give you another very generic receipt-like printout to get back in. The printouts have nothing but a QR code on them, so as a family you have to keep them separate and write on them to identify which one is which person. I understand that this is more secure than the old hand stamp system, but it is a major step backwards in convenience. I agree that all of this should be do-able using the app somehow.

I don't get why he wouldn't just DM the person instead of publicly replying to the tweet. Especially since he was just asking her to DM him anyway.

Eiffel Tower was closed Tuesday most of the day, but was open in the evening.

Rode Sol Spin tonight and agree with many of the comments here. The seats are not comfortable at all, but that is not a big deal to me because it is not my favorite flat ride anyway so I won't be riding very often. I think what would be an improvement is reporting the queue time on the KI app. We waited 30 minutes to ride tonight and that was with the queue less than half full. With a queue that big for a flat ride, they really should report the wait times. Sol Spin likely had a longer wait than Delirium all day and Delirium reports its wait times via the app.

A correction on my previous post. The KI blog announced The Racer (and Beast) pens back in December 2021. So they are not new, maybe just re-stocked.
