Just like every year, it's a buyout day. Edit: Every RECENT year.

Ah, I see they've updated the Shows page since I last looked. Thanks

Nope... I'm really excited about it too!

Do you happen to know where Party on the Plaza is? I haven't been able to find that anywhere.

I think that might be where the old urn thing was that was fenced in. Maybe? I wish they would fence it in... that poor planter is going to be destroyed in a few weeks by unruly children who decide to play in it.

I think I just fell in love.

When I first saw that, I thought it said "Born to Shed". Meow.

I think the greenhouse is behind GWL.

I think this video just made me more excited for Saturday than anything else I've seen recently. I spy some dinosaurs and a Eiffel Tower topiary!

That's cool looking!

Dinosaurs Alive doesn't open until quite a bit into May.

I think I would buy a lifetime pass to Monster Island. Just imagining the uniforms makes me cringe though. I wonder if the food department would have to wear meat shirts and shorts? If they had a Eurobobble...

.

I think there's some other things like that. KI's phone numbers are all 513-754-XXXX. 754 is PKI on a phone keypad.

Unless they've gotten new ones, the mousepads in Guest Relations say SDATHC and PKI.com on them.

Disposable straws still aren't... unless you buy an Icee, of course. I really wish they'd get lids and straws for the drinks.

I found it shocking that they allowed old cups to be used. I would never think to bring a cup from the 80's to try to fill. And yes, I've seen it done. I would also consider having a higher refill price for old cups, less than a regular drink but more than a refill for that year's cup. It's a perk for buying a new cup.

I would leave ticket prices alone, drop the parking fee, only offer a pass discount at selected places that tend to be less busy, drop food and drink prices somewhat, but still enough so they're making a good profit (souvenir cups still need to be a better deal than buying drinks in paper cups), and no longer allow previous year's cups to be used, but lower the refill price to $.99 or so. Also, I'd add more perks for the employees, as it makes them happier, and that happiness tends to rub off on the guests.

I'm kind of curious why the seats aren't on yet, but if the park didn't think WindSeeker would open on time, they'd already be positioning themselves for it to not open on time (removing references on the website to it opening on opening day, etc.)

I think the signs you see walking from the main gate to BB parking are funny: "Associate Backlot Parking". Ahem.

How much was a 1 day ticket last year?

To encourage you to go multiple times. I have a feeling that many people who have two-day tickets wouldn't have visited the park the second day otherwise, so anything they spend is extra profit for the park. Or I could be totally wrong, but it makes sense to me.

I thought they were $51 last year. If they increased it couldn't have been by more than a few dollars. And I don't think parking has increased, last time I was down there I didn't see any new parking signs with different prices.

http://www.KICentral...album=157&pos=1 1 day 2007: $44.95 1 day 2011: $51.99 2 day 2007: $54.95 2 day 2011: $51.99 Hmm. 2 day tickets are actually cheaper now. Go figure. (for comparison, a Disney ticket in 2007 was apparently $71. Now, it's $82... bigger increase than KI, eh? Haven't seen any horrid comments about Disney's management lately that I recall...)
