That and “unruly behavior” will definitely be mentioned. Haha

The issue with that is that most all of F&B management have ego issues. Their ideas are always best and no one can do it better. I once pitched an idea to Mark about trying the Disney method. Having people order first then pickup their food. He literally made me feel like it was the stupidest thing I ever said. Hence why I finally left after 3 years.

I do think you’re correct about a majority of this. The quality of the parks atmosphere and events has been slowly going downhill within the last 5-7 years. Yes KI is getting ride investments and restaurant/bar improvements, so I definitely recognize that. I care more about the feel of the park, so taking away landscaping, turning off water features, and not replanting trees, has made the park feel less cozy. With Sol Spin, the reason they got the single seat versus the dual is because the park was given the “investment money” kinda last minute and very late in the season. So when they reached out to the manufacturer they were told they could get a single seat model but not a dual seat model to be ready by park opening. That’s the only reason they went with the single seat option. It was so late in the season and the park had to go with rides that could be ready by opening day, or shortly thereafter.

I’m surprised, but at the same time I’m not. With that parks perceived history as being one of the worst in the chain, I feel like it will be the least missed by the general public.

The clock rarely, if ever, operated in 2023 or 2024. I think it stopped working somewhere near fall of 2022.

Sometimes the "silence" is necessary. There is a lot of legality surrounding any type of "comment" made from the park. If they say the welds are bad, Clermont Steel could come back and file a defamation or slander lawsuit. It's always better to know something as fact before any news is released.

You seem like one of the very few defending him constantly, so one could turn around and ask you why? What do you potentially have to earn? Do you personally know him or are related to him? I'm honestly not sure why this is still an issue. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and thoughts. It seems like you just want to constantly argue with anyone you can.

It should be announced soon…….

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but Tom and Chee is moving into Chick-fil-a's former space and Skyline will no longer be on International Street.

Housing application is only for active employees, so you would have to wait until an offer was made. Then during online onboarding she will be asked if she wants to apply for housing. Just keep in mind the housing fills up pretty quickly.

I like that Local 12 actually emphasized the fact that CF didn’t actually own CC. I feel like too many people thought they owned it. https://local12.com/news/local/kings-island-mason-amusement-park-cincinnati-parts-ways-attraction-cedar-fair-camp-cedar-luxury-resort-cottages-recreational-campground?-fbpost&fbclid=IwAR1kGN-jndBgIdotAnkO6sAiULE4X9a3TlZZ1iyXPC2C1kEbmne5WLIWNYY

I know it’s probably a long shot but if they could lease The Beach property and build a pedestrian bridge connecting it with Camp Cedar, I think they could have an amazing property.

They have officially begun removing the KI logo from the street level sign. The sign by the highway still has the KI logo.

Very tragic news out of Disneyland last night. There’s still speculation as to whether it was an accident or intentional. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-12-04/man-dies-after-fall-at-disneyland?_amp=true

I recently went to WDW in September and stayed at Riverside. This was my 7th time staying at this resort and my 6th time staying in building 38. This trip gave me the same “meh” feeling that Shaggy described above. There were dead trees, roof tiles, and trash just laying around in different garden areas. It remained that way during the 6 days I was there. The pool and pool area was visibly needing maintenance work done. Their food court area is beyond needing a refresh and a deep clean. You could just visibly see that things were not being maintained or cared about while Chapek was in charge. I was actually debating even renewing my AP next month, but I guess this news gives me a better reason.
