Very accurate!

And folks wonder why the chain hasn't put an emphasis on marketing KI....doesn't mean we can't squeeze some more attendance, but is the cost worth the incremental increase or are they better off to try to squeeze more money from the existing guests....which has been their approach in recent years....

Since they made the conscious decision to go with the name Six Flags, even though Cedar Fair is the slight majority, I do not think we will see the Six Flags named dropped. They went with Six Flags for the branding and name recognition. If they didn't want to take advantage of name recognition, they would have gone with the better reputation name of Cedar Fair. Over time, it may evolve to like Kings Island, a Six Flags park or something like that instead of Six Flags over Kings Island. I would be shocked if Six Flags is removed from park names completely and not added in some fashion to the FUN parks.

Exactly, especially in years past with all their pass offerings LOL. And of course the exchange rate thing.

It likely keeps them buying as they think they are pulling one over on big corporate LOL

They really are trying to squeeze more money out of ya

^Six likes it comfortably crowded

The left half of the parking tolls direct to north lot and the right half to the south lot. If you want the south lot, go to the right side of the tolls and easy peasy as it is a direct path to the south lot... this allows traffic to be spread among both lots without a lot of overlap issues as the cones prevent people from trying to cross, except when guests take cones out trying to get to the other lot lol... There is nothing wrong with the spots by the sign - they are blocked off to be used for overflow of all the parents picking kids up at close....kinda ironic with the chaperone policy lol... Yeah some lines need repainted, but people don't pay attention anyway and why bollards were added to handicap lot despite all the spots being well painted...

Who believes this is the only park closing.... https://attractionsmagazine.com/six-flags-2025-reorg/

^Please no on the single use Fast Lane. A park like KI and CP does not need more people in a FL line. I agree that they need to find a way to limit the passholder preview attendance.

If these delays were costing them money, they would address it.... I suspect the chain has metrics that show that the attendance needle outside of passholders doesn't move until after Memorial Day, so why pay a premium to get it done earlier? Passholders still show up.... Anything can be accomplished earlier if you throw enough money to it. Maybe they get a base bid to have it complete by opening day and an alternate bid to complete by Memorial Day and the savings is too great to pass up to give them until Memorial Day.

Yellow sheet means the person and one other goes thru the exit like the green sheet, but the remaining members of the party must go through the line and they are matched up when they enter the ride.

He was at the park the past two weekends. He missed a fair amount of last year due to health and other issues.

They will save that for the shocker park

Not surprised at all...the first of many...

And so it begins....

Hasn't received state approval yet. https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/places/cedar-point/top-thrill-2-inspection-cedar-point-roller-coaster-ohio-department-of-agriculture/95-5857785b-a15c-4c83-bd76-5cf8ebd37157?fbclid=IwY2xjawKAh7RleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETF3NHpXSEpqY0xkSlFpc0ZnAR6TzCDXzFWZx9jk-0exXjeTFdVekAS-tVbLIr5HytQXskz8BCjbIk6ULNItqQ_aem_Ha027CCZ-j1cQGf-mcL15A

It is just a traffic helicopter now LOL. Except Cincinnati hasn't had one of those in years...

Anyone wanna take a guess on what the "handful of surprises that will enhance the event" are?

After 2am, the youngsters are allowed back in LOL https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/the-banks-announces-a-new-policy-limiting-access-to-the-public-plaza-area-for-people-21-years-and-older

Don't give them any ideas LOL. But that is a good one.

It happens. This guy doing the POV and those breaking rules during passholder preview should be an immediate ban as they know better!

If the 3rd train was not in the storage shed, then your statement would carry more weight. I know that you know that they completely take apart and put back together the coaster trains. The fact the 3rd train is in the shed indicates it was ready to go, so one can conclude that either during cycling or state inspection an issue popped up that they were not able to address for opening weekend.

^ This is an illegal POV that is against park and KIC rules.
