Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
disco2000 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
“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....

But at the same time, at this time of the year, with no "events" going on and being between Haunt and Winterfest, won't it be majority passholders not likely to spend anything more than redeeming their add-ons? And is this a test to see if the demand is there and then possibly cancel Winterfest at the parks that have it next year? Let's face it, if the demand is there for days like these and a few others to add, much more money to be made sprinkling an additional 15-20ish days across the season than go to the expense of Winterfest set up for the roughly same number of days.... It is a much bigger loss if the weather is bad for the Winterfest run than if these November days turned out to be poor weather.

They added days to CP, KD, Carowinds and Wonderland as well.

In other news, now that this is signed, Phantom is getting rethemed to Peanuts like in the survey now

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
disco2000 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
This kinda sums up the social media backlash crowd LOL: Everyone claims they bought their passes EXCLUSIVELY for Haunt, but when they start charging $10 for the mazes suddenly all of the haunted houses are run-down run-of-the-mill boring snoozefests that aren't worth a nickel out of their pocket. If that's the case, why did they buy a pass just to go? -

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
disco2000 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
They just ban people calling too much While there is a lot of chatter on social media, the real test will be once the events begin. FB is full of people commenting that never even visit the park. And trolls, and whatever else. -

Holiday World 2026 season passes
disco2000 replied to DonHelbig's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Six Flags simply gives everyone a discount -
And how did that work out for them LOL. They said it would return in what July and it still sits. Then when someone questions the park, they get banned....
-
^Better than giving everyone season long FL
-
They have worn the sense of urgency stick out a long time ago... They gave a little scare to some people when the Haunt pass was sold out, but back to their old tricks.
-
If they cared they would have expanded it previously before cutting the Prestige pass price. It is basically full already today and probably will be most days as these passholders tend to visit more.

^it has looked like that since it has been down.

What is the Capacity of Each Coaster’s Full Que?
disco2000 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Kings Island
How long it takes to get thru the queue is different than the capacity (how many people) can be in the queue at one time. And then of course Fast Lane throws an additional variable into the mix, along with if the ride has storage, how accommodating the seats are to different sized riders, number of associates on the floor, etc. A full FL queue will impact the regular line wait much more than a no wait FL. But back to the original question, most queues are designed for an average of 1 person per 1.5 feet, but that can vary too by group. Take any queue with steps. Sometimes you may see 1 person per step, and sometimes 3 people in the same group will stand on the same step. So if you are looking for something to do, google map the distances of a queue to figure it out LOL. -

^in other words, going like many of us predicted.... -
True....however, if they are down chainwide but doing consistent numbers at KI, they can't have ours be higher than the rest or everyone will renew and purchase at another park selling it cheaper and that does have indirect effects on KI.
