Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
IBEW_Sparky replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
If there is anything left proper in this forsaken pile of a land, this suit will fail miserably. This is why there needs to be a penalty put in place of 10x requested damages if a suit like this is filed and the plaintiff loses. My thoughts, wont change them, dont try. -
They could never, ever put a timer on a Freestyle machine, ar least not at any of the KI locations… has anyone actually taken time while in line to watch WHY the lines are so long? Because the people who need an instruction manual for walking and the kids get utterly baffled by a drink dispenser with more than 5 choices and the assembly line grinds to a quick halt.

As much as I hate to say this considering I USED to consider it my adopted home parl, WoF needs to go. The company with all of its current problems doesnt need WoFs problems, buuuuuuuut since I have a feeling FUN will wish to remain in that region and the choice would be WoF or SF/StL they will dump SF/StL given the choice. With the condition of their financials, I can most certainly see VF, MiA, and/or Dorney out the door as well. Now, with all that being said, I already envision Herschend pulling a bit of a Gary Story here with the number of expenditures they have been making in the past few years, so to me it is not something I see them being able to do in the very short term, maybe 3-5 years but does FUN have that long? My thoughts are "no", but Im spitballing and on my way out anyway so Im just putting thoughts out as a JAFO.

Exactly all of this, and @KI Guy, reasons 1 and 2 on your list. There is no roller coaster in the World at this point and time in my life that is worth more than a 30 minute wait (15 ish at KI simply because I could make the drive there every weekend if I truly wished to), and you flat dont get on Mav and SV in less than 30 without FL+.
-
This is why I continue to hold off and am still over 70% against getting a pass again, because ANY limits to the amount of times I can ride a ride with FL+ will kill any desire whatsoever for me to have one again. I know, I know they arent doing anything to FL+ YET, but I think we also all remember 11 and midnight closes and didnt think those would ever go away.

I am going to COS next May to visit my Mother, scout jobs and network, and attend the Thunderbirds demonstration at the Air Force Academy Graduation next year and Im happy to see you had a good experience at Elitch because I am planning on stopping in for a bit.

They still have 3 weeks to announce any kind of pricing they wish to/feel the market will bear.

Kings Island Halloween Haunt 2025 Discussion
IBEW_Sparky replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
Now THAT is the kind of show Im talking about... THAT is what I want to see when I sit down for a show!! -
I actually wouldn't be mad at that, although I like Skittles more, hehe.

If I happen to get another pass, Im going to play with them a bit just for my personal entertainment. Ive still got my old hard card, and Im going to make an exact, two-sided copy of it and place the new number over the old one before laminating it. Old-school metallic dark gray pass with the new numbers
-
As silly as it sounds, I absolutely spaced the idea of printing the screen image of the barcode and laminating it for wallet keeping! Im definitely utilizing that if I get a new pass!

Restaurants OR Food You Want To Bring Back To Kings Island?
IBEW_Sparky replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
I dont think food trucks that do not accept the meal plan are sustainable at KI. To your point, as much as I and maybe some others without a meal plan or pass in general enjoy things like that to have a different or off the wall option, it doesnt fit KIs guest demographic of majority local passholders who likely DO have the meal plan. Im not sure how the ones at CP performed, but if they did not succeed there with that different demographic, then odds of them surviving here are... IMHO... below low. -
Kings Island 2025 Food Reviews and Discussion
IBEW_Sparky replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
The coneys on @kingsislandfan1972s pic look like the prize they used to advertise on the cereal box, and yours look like the prize that we actually got! Also, in answer to the above question regarding Enrique's, I either eat there and get the steak bowl, or the Bacon Mac and Chee at Tom and Chee's and both are very good. As mentioned above, Enrique's is just Pantherion to Hank's I305. -
