The park is not in the business to compete for musical acts these days. Look for TW to be gone relatively soon. I mean, check out the photos of it from Saturday, Land clearing and it literally looks like it's being torn down (just an observation)

I rode it today. Wow. Best ride in over 25 years on it. Not like the early days pre-individual retrainents, but the best since then. I rode the front seat red train. Butter smooth. Floater airtime that gently brought you back down to the track instead of slamming you. I'm very impressed with Gravity Groups proprietary process to smooth this ride out. Now, maybe Beast can get some love in the next couple of years,

Kings Island Raises Pay for Seasonal Associates
Oldschool75 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Well it's just a matter of time until the federal minimum wage is $15/hr which it should be. I think CF is moving ahead and figuring it out now instead of waiting for the shell shock when it happens. -
Year Round Cedar Fair Parks
Oldschool75 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I believe there are a lot of changes coming to CF from what I have observed with job postings and info I have heard. I think they can be viable if they operate like Dollywood. -

Coasterstock sold out in 12 hours last year, Took 15 minutes this year. It is a new record for the event. Same capacity as other years. -

I would recommend goggles and and a face mask. It's not fun getting hit in the face with a cicada while riding a roller coaster.

Maybe, first we have to get a Rivertown back before you could have a festival. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Kings Island to ‘strongly encourage’ employees to get COVID vaccine
Oldschool75 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
A wise business decision. And those who don’t get vaccinated, don’t be surprised if you get reduced hours of work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

2021 Kings Island Job Application Question
Oldschool75 replied to SpectralBeacon's topic in Kings Island
Not trying to sound negative but, First rule of applying for a job. Follow the instructions. First rule for a creative applying for a job. Have a demo reel/Portfolio of your work (This is a must for any creative position) Since you didn't follow the submission instructions, you disqualified yourself for the position. (This is how most employers look at it) -
You might want to re-read the OP’s post. He is looking for existing roller coasters. I know the park has The Beast’s, but they are probably not going to let those out. As for The Racer and Scooby Doo, PTC should have them, but it’s up them if they want to share. I had put in a request a while back for drawings for a scale model I’m attempting to build of the original Racer layout. No response. I know the prototype drawing for Arrow’s shuttle loop was just uncovered by S&S and sold to a private buyer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
