This is now going to take up most of my free time. Thanks.

Have you guys seen the things Universal has been doing with Harry Potter? Timing would not be that big of an issue.

I believe it was shut down for a significant amount of time last season. If I remember correctly, it was because of a lift motor.

Ok, I have always had this question: Why is it called Coney Mall? I get the Coney part, but what about Mall?

I remember riding one of those loop things with Coasterfanatic2012 at our small county fair. Seems odd at a major amusement park.

I actually rode this for the first time last night and it was my favorite ride in the park. The rest of EPCOT is just meh IMO.

Longer train rides means longer naps for me. I'm all for it!

SEAS is pretty low right now...

Thank you.

Is there a video from the announcement from this morning? .

How can I read it but you cannot?

CEO: "We should have done more to fight Blackfish" http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/os-seaworld-ceo-jim-atchison-20140819,0,373725.story?utm_content=bufferc5111&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

And Discovery Cove.

Soft opens happened today. The All American Rejects got to ride it before their concert. https://twitter.com/therejects/status/500778922544742400

While this is good for the whales, I do not see this being a big draw. This is not going to keep the attendance from falling again.

So, they got rid of the awful steam punk thing? Good.

It was a power hour. Saw this on Facebook: "I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to the Banshee crew for reaching a record of 53 cycles in one hour! This is just mind-boggling to me and is another great example of why Kings Island is the best."

If you have not been to Discovery Cove, GO! It is incredible.

Just look at some of the additions some of the other Cedar Fair parks have received recently. A lot of the additions include Flying Scooters. I'm sure they are on the list of things to do for KI.

Honestly, the capacity is the last thing to worry about for that ride. Capacity doesn't matter if nobody is there to ride it.

Which, if the rumors are true, is really what happened. I was told at BGW, by multiple people, that the newer SEA attractions are not planned out far in advance at all. What takes a 5 year plan for Cedar Fair is done with a 1 year plan at SEA. I was told Mach Tower came to be in less than a year with a manufacturer who was not completely comfortable with what they were doing. Thus the problems it had and still has today. I'm not saying this is true, just saying what I was told.

I'm waiting for Falcon's Fury. If it ever happens.

Other than Discovery Cove, I'm not interested in the SEA parks here in Florida. If I didn't have 13 free tickets to use by the end of the year, I probably wouldn't visit any of them.
