KI FANATIC 37

Im probably just being an idiot lol, but Normally i just click on the most recent topics on the home page

My thoughts exactly. Thought I was just out of the loop.

Don, I have a ton of respect for you and generally agree with your statements. That being said, why is it bad to get enthusiasts talking about an overall positive purchase? Didn’t you know “what was in the shed” for a year and had park fans talk about it? What is the difference here? It’s fair to be harsh on SF when it is warranted but this does not seem like one of those situations. Would you rather these forums just be silent? Isn’t that the whole point of this website? When people are unjustly harsh it makes statements that are warranted hold less weight.

I’m happy that SF bought AF1. For all the negative publicity SF has gotten the past year, you have to give credit where it is due. I hope you all are right about AF1 coming to Kings Island; I got a feeling about SF over Georgia after pulling up their park map this AM. Not to mention the transportation cost.

Im still having issues where it takes me to the initial post of the topic instead of last read. Anyone else?

I hope it doesn't go to Europe, I never had the chance to ride it.

Was almost going to travel up from Lexington today to go hoping for storm breaks and light crowds, but looking at weather this AM I decided against it. I dont judge the park for closing, I judge them for lack of announcement. Have only been once this year. Not feeling strong to return any time soon

I saw that. Hopefully it’s not what it looks like, but i wouldn’t be surprised. Since 2018. That would be a net negative 2 rollercoasters for Kings Island (not counting SSBR). Not a good look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On an unrelated note, Pantherian opened this afternoon after being down all season, and no announcement on social media advertising its reopening. What kind of PR is that? Truly pathetic.

I am not complaining. Frankly for the consumer, seems like a no brainer. But it does concern me that the company felt that this was the best decision financially. How bad were estimates for next year looking on their end?

I have seen online (and some teasing through Six Flags social media), that Kings Dominion and likely other Six Flags parks will be including the "all parks passport" to their 2026 season passes. I would assume this will be rolled out to all parks in the coming weeks to try and get season pass sales up for next week. Thoughts? Honestly, I thought the All Parks Passport was a steal this year, and it seems like an odd finanical decision to me. Maybe this is a sign they saw the writing on the wall that season pass sales were going to be poor for next year. Here is the tweet from Six Flags and Kings Dominion. https://x.com/KingsDominionVA/status/1948429607171965022

This has happened to me in seasons prior and I just say nicely “you need to give me the other cup” and I’ve never had an issue. I’m not going to a different place when there are cups right in front of me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took my 4th trip to Kings Island this evening. With all the talk about the merger, the only difference I have noticed is the wait times at food restaurants have been worse. No issues with rides stacking, cleanliness, etc. I’ve been overall pleased with my experiences so far this year for the price I pay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone closer to KD heard anything about when Pantherian will open? I was planning a trip out there since i never have ridden I305 and I wanted to try out Rapterra. Its a shame its still not open.

I was younger when Diamondback opened and i remembering getting so excited in 2009/2010 when I saw him lapping it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
