^ If a donation is missing from your page, I'd recommend contacting the park ASAP by replying to the e-mail from Danielle (which you should have received today).

^ The last time KI was open on Easter Sunday was in 2014. Crowd-wise, I'd expect it to be a very good day to visit. Many people (myself included) have other plans that day & won't be ahead of you in line.

^ Most likely, the billing address (specifically, the street number) or zip code you entered doesn't match what's on file with your credit card issuer. If everything's correct and you still have problems, I'd recommend calling the online store customer service number.

As a reminder, those who have created fundraising pages have until tomorrow (April 9) at midnight to raise/donate the $100 minimum to attend the event.

I haven't heard anything about Rivertown Potato Works this season, but the popularity of their fresh-cut fries & increased traffic in Rivertown are likely to result in crowds there, even if they're not serving dining plan meals at that location.

If someone can get the HAR files from offending ad(s), we can get them blocked.

Fort Rapids has sold to a California investor, who hopes to reopen both the hotel & indoor waterpark after capital improvements. http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170404/fort-rapids-could-reopen-under-new-ownership

^ If it continues to happen, getting a HAR log would help pinpoint the troublesome ad and get it blocked in KIC's AdSense account. Here is a page that explains how to create such a log using Chrome or Firefox: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204410413-Generating-a-HAR-file-for-troubleshooting (You'd want to start recording in the Inspector, reload the page so that the troublesome ad loads, then save the logfile.) A temporary fix would be to use an ad blocking extension in your browser (eg. Adblock Plus). Just be aware that some sites don't work properly when ads are blocked.

It was affecting Brad with two browsers (Microsoft Edge & Chrome), so it didn't appear to be an extension issue. Did you try using the button on the advertisement itself, to block the one specific advertisement that fails to load? I haven't received any e-mail at the address in my post, so I assume this is an isolated issue.

Last season, passholders who chose to "take photo at park" while renewing weren't forced to actually take a new one. The renewed ID cards continued working with old photos.

I wonder if it was the same enthusiast squirrel walking the Adventure Express track in 2015 that apparently didn't notice a train I was riding.

Force of habit. I'm tall enough that I need to cross my legs to be comfortable on some rides with limited leg room. Sometimes, I do it where it's completely unnecessary. Silly faces just aren't my thing.

Details haven't been announced for 2017 yet, but single-day drink wristbands are generally sold with special (promotional) types of single-day tickets or to large groups via Group Sales. If you are a season passholder, all-season drink plans are available either online or at the park. Pricing is subject to change. Welcome to KIC, by the way!

There may have been an issue with a Google script that prevented some members from posting. If anyone is having trouble typing into the post editor, email techproblems (at) KICentral dot com. EDIT: This was apparently caused by a specific Google ad that was malfunctioning, perhaps due to content blocking software. If anyone else experiences this, try using the "i" button on the partially loaded advertisement to block it from appearing. Instructions: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662850?hl=en

^^ Many of us don't want the mystery spoiled before riding, so discretion will indeed be appreciated at first. Just use spoiler tags or post in obvious "spoiler" threads, as appropriate. After the ride opens, it may be wise to avoid reading topics about what's in the shed before actually riding. The mods will, of course, be watching the forum closely in the days surrounding the ride's opening.

At certain times of the year, renewal discounts are offered. At the time of this post, renewing Gold passholders save $21 off the new Gold Pass price. If the online renewal process doesn't work for your pass, CoastersRZ's advice to call the park is your best bet.

^ It could be a connection issue; all pictures from recent posts in that thread are working for me on desktop browsers, mobile browsers, and Tapatalk. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

^ To be clear, they're broken on Tapatalk, on the web-based forum, or both?

See this topic from last year, with lots of cargo short suggestions:

Never is a very long time! Some analysts have long-predicted a merger; the two companies serve similar markets, yet have very little geographic overlap. In my opinion, Cedar Fair's tax structure as a limited partnership is one of the bigger reasons it hasn't happened (and might not happen any time soon).

When Mean Streak's trims were turned off, it was a fun & thrilling ride.

Glad to see lots of people from here taking part! Those who have registered, check your e-mail for updates sent out by the park this week. There's still time to sign up and/or to raise money. To participate in the first rider event, the $100 fundraising minimum must be met by Sunday, April 9 at midnight. For those getting started, many have been successful by sharing their page on social media channels.

Just linking this here, Ride On_17 has a number of (legal) pictures from Winter Chill Out in his trip report: Also, I merged this new Mean Streak thread with the existing one, to keep pre-announcement posts easier to find.

Banshee's POV wasn't released until the ride opened. I would expect a Mystic Timbers POV until then, either.

^ The 2nd is probably my safest bet that week, but August 3 should work. The 1st is the day I really need to avoid if possible. The signage at the entrance says that single riders aren't permitted, but they do pair single riders who make it to the station & ask.
