It doesn't help when parents tell their kids to get in the clock to take a picture and they start messing with the clock hands....

In front of one of the many bars, so if they say no, you can drink your sorrow

Wait until Passholder preview day to announce the paint isn't dry LOL https://www.kingsdominion.com/blog/2025/welcoming-pantherian-to-the-jungle

Bye-Bye Superman https://www.ocregister.com/2025/03/28/six-flags-magic-mountain-permanently-closes-superman-coaster

plus or minus 1,000

On the plus side, it will probably take the pressure off people people saying Backlot was in a bad location as this will be talked about lol. This has the potential of ruining the carousel setting....

So moving out of Tower Gardens or in addition to Tower Gardens?

Rumor was Tony announced at Winter chill out that they were not going to replace the role and instead do the regional park approach like they are for PR. Wasn't there, so can't confirm it.

With these types of lawsuits, many are usually advised to wait and many will file within days of the statute of limitations. It allows for more medical bills if they survived and what not to pile up to make their case stronger or in the event of death, show the emotional toll it has caused, etc. And in some instances they hope that the defendant has lost/destroyed evidence over time, which then plays in favor of the complainant. It is all strategic in the timing. While sad and unfortunate, how many people have ridden that ride safely? It is likely an underlying condition that wasn't diagnosed. Sadly many rides have had incidents like this. Most do not end up in a lawsuit. This is different than TTD though in that a part didn't fly off the coaster.

Obviously they know you are riding, and with that name, they gotta give you the snakes It is a random draw as to what comes up.

We have had a few of those over the years. Usually gets deleted because people start posting stuff they shouldn't LOL. Here is one I found that still exists. Use it or start one and see how long it survives LOL.

What in particular is your question? There have been many threads covering various aspects of working there or the stories they have as former employees, etc. and the answer may already exist on KIC and found via the search.

Did anybody notice this is at King's Island

It is interesting. One would expect bringing in that kind of event would do better at KI than CP. One would think with KI being such a season pass heavy park that they could tap into that market by taking advantage of the passholder being there so much that they would welcome a break from the rides and watch some short run shows (more shows than they would now) more so than the person going to CP and wanting to ride, ride, ride, and with 45min Fast Lanes, not enough time to watch shows LOL. I guess it works up there because they have a higher season pass base than most expect and maybe drawing in families where the ride warriors ride and the casual riders go do shows. But it is odd seeing so few watch these at KI.

KI had a live music in Soak City on a make-shift stage as well.... The sad thing is more times than not, when River City (great local band) played in Action Zone a few years back, they had more entertainment associates watching than guests. Those playing on Coney Mall stage wasn't that much better. Or the DJ in that spot during Haunt and Winterfest. Same with Hifi Honey - when they aren't on the Festhaus stage but instead on the makeshift stage outside, the guest numbers just aren't there. If people can't sit, they don't seem to attract the numbers outside of their groupies LOL. With guest numbers like that, it is hard to justify continuing or expanding that program, especially in the Six way of things. But at the same time, the shows were not really advertised either and were on temporary stages, so it was a hit or miss thing. Like the steel drum reggae band in Soak City - you only knew about if you saw it. Maybe an event like you are suggesting would work well in the early and late part of the season in Festhaus, but having a temporary stage in one of the areas for a new local band every week to play just seems like we would see more of what we have seen with the established local bands that are kinda known by some KI guests due to their many years performing here. Just based on numbers, I could see outside bands be an easy target for cutting from the entertainment scene. The question is do we go entertainment dormant in those parts of the season?

More changes https://sanduskyregister.com/news/569731/how-will-cedar-point-handle-disability-pass-process/

Let's see, Sandy was pushed out of Cracker Barrel as their stock has tanked since 2021. Michael has seen Virgin stock tank from a high of $1,000 per share to the current trading value of $3. Virgin has been practically non-existent in the space domain. Felipe hasn't seen good stock returns at current employer. Stephen runs an investment firm. I think Felipe and Stephen would be open to selling off to private equity.

But, but, but....remember when they said the new board will be composed of 12 directors, with six coming from each company...... Changes are a coming....

Like everything, there are always two sides. The official press release says they decided to resign... After successfully seeing the company through the first year post-merger, current directors Esi Eggleston Bracey, Michelle McKinney Frymire, D. Scott Olivet, and Enrique Ramirez Mena have each decided to resign from the Board in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting. As such, the Six Flags Board will continue to comprise 12 directors, 10 of whom are independent. https://investors.sixflags.com/news/press-releases/press-release-details/2025/Six-Flags-Announces-Nomination-of-Four-New-Independent-Directors/
