Or they don't feel the part will be here this season and took the train off to get a jump start on maintenance...which any little bit they can get started on helps...

^chain already has the blueprint for that concept

Pulling a play out of the Six Flags playbook https://local12.com/news/entertainment/theme-parks-shut-down-purchased-buyout-amusement-park-beloved-decades-20-years-operating-mini-miniature-golf-family-children-kids-kid-child-dollywood-dolly-parton-entertainment#

Yep that is true. Sadly, it means many people forget about it and it goes unused... Just make sure you are aware of any blackout days based on when you purchased it.

Yeah a full Beast queue is a sign of a dead park lol.

It's actually fairly busy and as of 8:15 many food lines are out the entrance with some decent lines for rides and mazes.

That's how we become DOLLYwood LOL

^Yep. Wonder why....

Yes it is.

He still sits behind Slaughterhouse...

Dent Schoolhouse also offers a discount for amusement park passholders.

I don't have a pic but the front half near the lockers is a roped off traditional queue and then the back half is an open walking path, but yes it takes the whole skyflyer plot.

FYI - KI Drive heading north is down to one lane just past the passenger drop off lot.

Right - what does that mean - was the rider somehow partially out of the restraint (intentionally or a mechanical break-down or body dimensions were such that it didn't fully restrain them) or were they fully restrained and passed out and just the limp body being tossed around while fully restrained and the head hitting the seat or restraints cause this? Based on the restraint system, I am guessing passed out and just the body flinging around caused it - I haven't been on this, could someone hit the seat in front of them if they were passed out? What about the restraints on the seat next to them. And of course their own headrest. And could this result in tight turn looping coasters getting more than just lapbar restraints to prevent this in the future?

Now "sold out" at KI. Wonder how many were sold....

Apparently folks hate on the other park operators as well LOL

Got rid of their Halloween and Christmas event and now close Sept 21st so that they can focus on their most popular times. We have seen this book before... And the online complaints are the same as the Six Flags passholders.

The average age of having kids has increased over the years, so there are many grandparents that still fall in this category. Heck there are many parents that fall in that category LOL. Regardless, there is an entire age group that knows Peanuts that take kids to the park.... I think they could go with no IP and the kids would still come. I guess they look at the revenue generated from merch sales and compare to the cost of the IP and make a business decision.

Yep, or the grandparents taking the grandkids to KI and the grandparents grew up on Peanuts.... And the grandparents is where the money is at. I see a lot of grandparents around the park wearing Snoopy stuff they bought at the park!

There is never a shortage of lines in the kiddie area. There is a reason KI doesn't offer the pre-k pass. I don't think the kids really care what the rides are called or themed. They just want to ride rides LOL.

I took one home (just kidding for anyone taking it serious LOL)

“Notably, our 2026 season pass program is off to a strong start,” continued Zimmerman. “Early unit sales of 2026 season passes are pacing well ahead of cumulative pass sales at this same time last year, with the average season pass price up 3%. The robust sales trend is driven by the strong appeal of our all-park add-on, reflecting the value proposition of our unmatched network of parks.” Of course 2026 season pass sales end of July/beginning of August outpaced sales at the same time last year as they were not being sold then LOL Who here experienced that season pass price went up? Every post I saw across multiple fan sites of the different parks showed the price went down. I guess there must be some outlier somewhere lol.

Paint each one a different color and call it m&m's brought to you by m&m's

Don't call the park and ask Wonder if the news media would get the same outcome if they called....
