I don't see a huge need for it, but it would be pretty cool. However, it would need a custom map to be made, as CF would frown upon their map being used. And it wouldn't work with Touch, as KI does not have park-wide wifi- Festhaus is the only place I've been able to pick up the KI-PUBLIC access point.

Who wants to bet that the Reptar will be totally visible from the Eiffel Tower wherever they're keeping it?

Well, no, I meant that they wouldn't make more money... okay, now I'm confused.

Darien Lake: Tax Incentive Packages
CedarPointer replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Darien Lake went downhill so much when Six Flags bought it. I remember how you could literally see the difference just between visits the year that Six Flags took over. -
IIRC, the park has hinted at a retheme.
-
Or not, since then the passholders might not upgrade.

I would *love* to see CP's Witches Wheel make it down to KI. They could even reuse the current TA track as concrete path for a queue area. Now, that appeals to CF's sense of thriftyness, now doesn't it?
-
I think they start selling them closer to opening day. Probably April 1?

I don't know if bitter is quite acurate...but the person certainly is defensive about the subject! I wonder if he realizes that kids will get excited about nearly any costumed character, even if it's a generic gorilla costume.
-
Wow, he seems kind of bitter.

There's a point where they'll have to cut their losses and remove it. That's inevitable. The question if if they feel that they've reached that point yet.

Cashless System Coming To Waldameer
CedarPointer replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'd love to see a system like this come to KI for food, games, and merchandise. It could easily be integrated into the season passes (they could have a magnetic strip and barcode, just like the associate IDs. They could even recycle that design!), and I have a feeling that per-cap spending would increase quite a bit. -
It'd be really cool if Cedar Fair took the whole park and themed it to the magic of movies... oh, wait...

Mason: No Admissions Tax.... For Now
CedarPointer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Sigh. Some people just don't learn. -
While is is a boring track, they must make money on it if they are continuing to staff it (don't they usually have 3 associates there?).
-
Does anyone remember if Coney Skyline has the full menu that I-Street Skyline has (salads, desserts), or does it just have the chili/cheese/onion/bean assembly items? Thanks!
-
Here's an idea: they could stop answering questions about it...
-
Invertigo is one of the less sucky names... I wish, in PS, they had gone with less character namesake rides- like Lolli Swing at CP, and Character Carousel at KI. Tied into the theme, but not named after a character. (that would avoid multiple "Linus" rides)
-
I'd go with a Kings Island Jr. theme (Kids Island?). It's basically free, and it doesn't rely on a franchise that kids aren't familiar with.
-
Would you create more competition for two of your own major parks by selling a park to your competitors? No? Exactly. While I disagree with their action from an enthusiast standpoint, I have to agree with it from a business standpoint. Many of the CF parks benefited from GL's closing, and CP has less competition.

Disney Announces "Premier Passport"
CedarPointer replied to bkroz's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I guess it's a good idea if one were to visit both parks. It would be wise for them to include Extra Magic Hour (it's like KI's DB/Beast ERT) for those passholders, as a bonus for people who won't be visiting both resorts. -
And the Diamondback vehicle! (visible from the Eiffel Tower last year...)

So, is that why their legal address (it's on my work permit) is 6300 Kings Island Dr, Kings Island, OH?
