^ @malem or @IndyGuy4KI might have some experience in that department with their dealings with KD and KBF this year. EDIT: If I were you, I'd play it safe and renew and upgrade at the park you got the Gold Passes from. I hear some CF parks can have discrepancies when switching unless you're moving to one of those parks or something which they'd be more thorough under those circumstances rather than someone renewing at a different park on a whim. Just my 2 cents.

The free Fast Lane Plus is for the park you are purchasing the passes from.

KI has the longest wooden coaster in the world, the longest inverted coaster in the world, one of the top rated hyper coasters in the world, one of the tallest Drop Towers in the world, and an assortment of other rides. Its not like KI has dropped off the map, so I don't understand this line of thought that the park needs something to put them 'on the map' when they're securely on said map. Some of the rides you mentioned as being mediocre are rides that the GP laps up (trust me, they love Diamondback and Banshee, though I will agree with you on their viewing of Firehawk). Mystic Timbers may not have had the same draw, but they obviously like it a lot regardless of how it came off. Yes, the chain saw some drop in attendance, but in going with what @stashua123 has previously brought up, the park was bound for a drop after some pretty steady growth. The ups come with the downs. I still trust KI and CF management to still be successful regardless of those ailments.

Solid quality on their Twitter as well. Their FB feed is abysmal. -

I have one more possibility- a new entrance building. -
Uh...we only know it'll be a B&M at the moment. We don't know what type yet. The floorless, wing and dive models are certainly still in play (CW just proved that CF is willing to put in bigger similar models at parks close to CP).

I looked up to see if British parks were more lax on cameras filming on rides than the US since Andy Murray is from GB, and they (ex. Alton Towers, Thorpe Park) don't allow it either. So its not like he has the excuse of being a foreigner and not being around parks that are more lax in that department. -
^They aren't anything new to the industry. Heck, Crypt at KI used them. We can blame human error on many concepts to improve the park experience, but for a majority of people, they work well. You're always going to have exceptions, flaws and human error in anything. You can only foolproof things so far.

^Its kind of hard to pin Vortex for such a stature since in the 80s, mulitple records of varying degrees were being broken all the time. The 80's were when the technology of steel coasters really took off thanks in large part to Arrow and Togo. For example, Shockwave at Six Flags Great America broke all of Vortex's records a year after it was built. Then the likes of SFMM's Viper, Magnum and Steel Phantom were built soon thereafter.
