Agreed, micro analyzing back and fourth takes all the fun out of it. Posts that do just that just rile people up for no reason. Those posts will be removed and offending members issued a warning going forward.

It may not be as deep as "Look over there, they have an unclaimed coaster. Let's throw that in the park here to take attention off of TT2 in 2025". Alternatively, it would be ludicrous to say that they did not discuss this during their decision making on this addition,

It's the time of year again for pumpkin flavored everything. As the cooler weather moves in, you now have to find where you hid those jackets you put away where you would not forget. Spending more time indoors and enjoying the return of your favorite shows as they come put with new episodes. This all sounds well and good, but Kings Island fans have another thing on their mind. Spooky Season with Haunt The return of night rides on The Beast The kids enjoying Tricks and Treats Just being back at their favorite escape from reality location This year Haunt returns with a new scare zone called Hooked. The ghosts of a sunken pirate ship have returned to claim the treasure that is theirs! Dead men tell no tales...but they do want revenge! When the bells toll and the fog rolls in, BEWARE!

We will use this thread for Haunt 2024 reviews!

The best part "wooden loop".

Can we get word on the manufacturer so we know where to set our expectations?

It was very evident at the Wine Fest and Grand Carnivale that was a very bad decision.

In am so open to a ground up RMC. Leave all the woodies alone and start from scratch.

They have been booking through the install.

Finally getting that aquatrax coaster?

As much as it hurts to say I can't disagree with it's drop. We do have a great kids area, but you also have to convince people why it's the best kids area. That's why there are marketing and comms departments. I realize some is controlled by Charlotte, but still.

Absolutely a terrible episode in my opinion.

I would love for KI to have one Here is what this cliff looks like. I took this when I was there in July. This is one of the highest points in the park.

We get the 4th train back!

Rode Superman 3 times today at SF Great America. It made me miss FH less. I never was a big fan and I have to totally disagree with @silver2005, the B&M restraints are way better than Vekomas'.

Summer until supplies last?

I thought that was weird too. I was talking to Mike and some of the other gold tags after I had the chefs plate. I will share what I told them. "It was the best chefs plate I had ever had." Perfect portion size. The meat was tender, juicy, and well seasoned. The potato cakes were very flavorful. The carrots were well cooked.

I don't think parks understand the influence enthusiasts have on park sales. Yes, there are negative comments sometimes. Some enthusiasts take not seeing the park at its peak potential personally and get extreme with their expectations. That much is very clear. How many times have you seen me on the KIC social channels promoting sweet spot sales, apparel sales, and pass sales? Same with the FB pass holders, and other channels. Parks have no problem displaying Amusement Today's awards. Who do they think votes in those polls? They may not like a few enthusiasts' attitudes or comments, but bottom line they need to play ball if they want to win awards and increase additional park sales. Considering they keep cutting budgets and such, you'd think that they'd be taking any lifeline they can get for free.

They just got that thing going after 2 years.

Does it count as a new disappointment if most of the structure is the same ride?
