There was no price on the sign.
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.

Mrs. Beastfan fan wasn’t able to partake in the wine this summer in prep for Baby Beastfan’s arrival this Haunt season.
Congratulations! A new enthusiast will be born soon.

In case you hadn't noticed, the New in 2025 page is up on the main site. I will add this thread on the page soon. There is a construction gallery as well. If anyone would like to contribute a picture(s) go here:

I convinced them to give the park a chance and I (the enthusiast) happened to make CP $120 in tickets sales that day.
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.

Replace Triple Loop at Indiana Beach with Scorpion!
They just got that thing going after 2 years.

Is it time to declare the 1st season of TT2 was a bigger disaster than the 1st season of TTD?
Somewhere Kinzel is relieved a new ride took the title of biggest regret/disappointment
Does it count as a new disappointment if most of the structure is the same ride?

Why not string up the Winterfest tower lights early and change them to Halloween colors?
That is not a bad idea. It could gradually get to red at the top to match the beaming eyes.

Is the site redefining janky today for anyone besides me? I may as well be on dial-up running W3.1 as slow as its running!
This is the fastest I have seen it load in a while. Whatever Matthew did seemed to really help. Not sure what is going on for you?

I don't want to touch dirty money that has been who knows where. Tap and go is the only way in my opinion.

Wow, you and I were in the park the same day and never saw each other. Glad you had a great day.

I cannot confirm this to be the exact cause of TT2's issues, but it definitely appears that at least some of the issues stem from the new lightning trains provided by Zamperla. If this is the case, then I don't think it's really fair to blame Intamin for this, as they had no involvement with the lightning trains.
I totally agree with this point.

Back home now and seems to be much better. @disco2000did yours improve any more?

I expect Cedar Fair (now part of Six Flags) may still contract Zamperla to build future flat rides and smaller-scale coasters like Wild Mouse. I don't think they're going to completely blacklist Zamperla like they've done with Intamin and RMC.
I'm all fairness. Zamperla took on a very big problem child. I don't think the TT2 project should be held against them. Yeah, it has been a real drag, but that Intamin aura, energy, bad juju, etc. might still plague it.

So Matthew did something on the back end. Since I'm at Cedar point, others will have to chime in on how the site is behaving now. It seems slightly faster for me, but I'm sure my connection is not the best.

Sure!
Cool. At CP right now, but hopefully I can get it created this week.

Me too. I will see if I can get @malemto take a look. He does all the server hosting back end stuff and can hopefully see what is going on.
-
I would love to put this on the main site and reference this thread. You ok with that @Coasterteam?
-
I think it will be a great addition to this park. I look forward to driving up to experience it next season.

Well on that sort of thing I am definitely in agreement! In fact, I would trade several years worth of new marquee rides for a renewed focus on those things, especially live entertainment. Things were trending that way under Ouimet, but that focus has been all but abandoned since, at least at CP. As much as I love rides, it's the other stuff that creates lasting core memories, at least for me.
I think there are a lot of people that share your sentiment about this.

Is it really a water coaster if you have to carry your own tube?
I didn't know not carrying your tube was a prerequisite to one being a water coaster?

Here are the photos we have of The crypt. The KIC galleries don't have a TRTR gallery unfortunately. That was before my time of contributing to the galleries.
