July Pass Perk
Well they hope the bring a friend buys a meal or drink or fudge. But I agree, a lottery for a small piece of fudge is crazy and not enough to convince someone on the fence about making a visit to KI to come visit. As I mentioned above, make it an experience or opportunity that isn't being sold.

He can be found throughout the park as well. Scavenger hunt time LOL. Here is the first one, with the design strategically highlighting him. Who can find the next one?

Accident at Canada's Wonderland "Zephyr" type ride
Apparently a 17 year old flew out of their Zephyr type ride yesterday. And people complain about the KI response for Banshee, but that was an end of story from the beginning event because almost immediately it was conveyed a guest entered a restricted area and was hit by Banshee and that appeased the curiosity of the general public and the park didn't need to release statements or elaborate more than what they did in a press release to the media. But at Wonderland, it wasn't as simple of an incident and the next day the general public still doesn't really have an answer. Did the guest fall out or were they inside the fence and got hit by the ride or rider? Some articles suggest she had a medical emergency and fell out but nobody will elaborate: "Police, paramedics and Canada’s Wonderland would not confirm if she fell from a ride" And Wonderland's socials make zero comment of the incident. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/teen-girl-17-taken-to-hospital-after-fall-at-canadas-wonderland/article_37f4c396-3fee-11ef-bd06-bfa88449c7f5.html

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
I would assume KIC would fall under this as there is video content produced from time to time and the basis of the discussions? How many of these has this site "violated" recently.... Is this new "policy" retroactive or moving forward.... Will the TOS be updated to reflect these changes.... Does this policy apply to FB sites.... What is the "enforcement" - is it simply not invited to media events and the like or do they ban folks that violate it as if it is a park policy? So many questions....

July Pass Perk
Synergies of the merger baby I cannot believe it is a lottery for a small piece of fudge. I can't see someone saying "hey lets go to KI to get entered into the small fudge lottery" LOL. Make it an experience that isn't currently offered or something that costs a lot, but really wouldn't be to the park. A free cabana at Soak City or Igloo at Winterfest come to mind. Or an experience like you and 9 friends get to watch the fireworks from the I-street restaurant with cookies and ice cream. Or a sunrise tour climbing Orion lift hill.

Same with a fireworks ride on WindSeeker! Those were incredible.

Ride Wait Times 2024
It has been that way since the 50th because of the laser show shooting beams at the Tower that could blind people or seriously hurt their eyes. And Shake, Rattle, & Roll and WindSeeker has shut down around same time as well for the drones.

Kings Island Announces Food and Wine Festival for 2024
You said there was barely a mention outside of park social media about the events and I simply pointed out that isn't the case. I am not referring to quality of content, but it was being talked about on hundreds of sites. I saw about the wine festival in Reach magazine, emails from the park, Tower Topics, KIC forum, daily on the season pass facebook site that has what over 70,000 members on it (that is the probably the best way to get word out and attendance and even the last week people on their were saying they didnt know about it), KI socials, and other sites. What is your solution - maybe have Chad knock on doors everyday reminding people of it and Mike calling people everyday reminding them of the events? Should the phone calls be personal, actual calls, or the recorded message like I get from the presidential candidates? Tony being a Uber service bringing people to the park? Even if they did the events Ryan talked about, people would still not know it is going on. You cannot reach 100%. Having it run on ads in France wouldn't have ticked the attendance meter nor helped the bored Cincinnati region you mention.. If someone is bored and looking for things to do, most would type in Google "what's going on this weekend in Cincinnati" to find out what's going on. An ad that ran on Monday is long forgotten. And if those that run in the wine and cheese circle were only interested in those types of events, well they would be the ones doing searches for wine festivals in cincinnati. Even when people get emails and information overload, they still don't know about it. The park could certify letter it to people and they would ignore it or forget about it by the time the event happens. Just look at Facebook at all the daily questions asked that those people were clearly provided the information and either ignored it or forgot. As an example, how many times do we see "what time are the fireworks?" How long has KI been doing fireworks...
