I like the updates to the character expressions to make them more cartoonish... this is geared towards families (especially with the shooting aspect) so making them more kid friendly is a great idea in my opinion

How do we know foe sure the conjuring is going in the crypt? I didn't see any map with maze locations yet? I posted a few weeks back about the flag bed unloading what appeared to be metal beams behind the crypt and the "pardon our dust" construction fences... could what I saw have been new attraction pieces? Seems plausible now

I would love to have something like toy story mania! I know.... screens blah blah blah... but thats the most entertaining attraction I've ever been on!

Thats exactly what I was thinking. That wooden fence is usually closed but is very near the entrance for slaughter house. Im *hoping* the fences with the banners are there because this will be an active construction zone during haunt... since its a backstage area and thats the only time guests would be remotely near there!

Hey everyone! Take this for what you will... visited KI tonight as I do many times each season. While waiting for "The Beast" I noticed construction walls behind the old crypt building. There was also a forklift / flatbed truck. The fences said "excuse our mess" or something of that nature. I couldn't tell exactly what they were unloading but it appeared to be flat black metal beams of some sort on a pallet wrapped in plastic. Couldn't grab my phone quick enough before they were behind the fence. Could be haunt related, could be 2026, could be nothing... could have been there a while... no idea. Just throwing it out there.

I'm underwhelmed; but not surprised. My question is how far will the first two launches go. I'm no physics or engineering expert, but the video doesn't give me much hope. 74mph appears to barely clear the incline to vertical (not much of a rollback if you asked me) as I experienced one on TTD from well over 300 ft) and 100mph looks like it only goes up 3/4 of the way on the spike. Why build a 420 ft spike to leave the top 1/4 untouched? But its whatever I suppose. Happy to have the ride back up.

I for one would be shocked to see year round operations. The climate / winter here is a whole lot different than that of Virginia and thr Carolinas. If we're going year round my expectation would be it would be for restaurants / shopping and maybe a dinner show or something in the festhaus and KI Theatre. Maybe something Cirque like? Our attraction lineup isn't well suited for winter ops in my opinion. I'm also not expecting any major new attraction announcement as there has been zero indication of ground clearing anywhere. I'm on the small flat / Waterpark announcement. Haven't had either since 2016 (unless you count auto's as a flat)

I'm going to go way out on a limb here.... Lsm takes more space to achieve speed... but what if... We see a multi launch. Forward halfway up the tower, reverse through station (new spike near existing photo booth) and forward launch through existing layout (Maybe more layout added but highly doubtful)

Maybe they are just relocating to a different spot in the park?

Sure hope this isn't an April Fools joke! That PT show has potential but also sounds way more elaborate than anything the park has done before.

I have a few issues with this. First and foremost, my cash says right on it "this note is legal tender for all debts public and private" What that means is they cannot legally reject my cash payment. Next, will everything in the park be switched to a flat $ amount after tax? I can't put an exact amount on the card at a kiosk. I don't think its fair to be forced to add $10 to a card for something that costs $9.75. Will there be ways to get $ back off my card if not used or does the park get to keep that? Worse yet would be the card issuer charging me for $ deposited that I can't use during the 4 months the park is closed. Winterfest ends, park doesn't open until spring... thats more than 90 days. Just a few issues I have with cashless.

Great to see Chad / the park being proactive and acknowledging the situation.

There is currently a post circulating on Facebook stating that 4 seats "flew off" Orion while testing. I find this very hard to believe as there is no evidence provided. Is the park or this community aware of this "rumor"? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10105205443277136&id=39507173&sfnsn=mo

i do remember the tennis balls stuck in the chain link! I didn't realize it was there that long!
