Hey @Tr0y - interesting that they will readily give away extra plates and bowls for people to share the meal, yet ask for sour cream on the side in a piddly little container and they say that isn't allowed...

Per the FAQ: I have the All-Park Passport. Does that change how I earn and redeem Perks? What about separately gated waterparks? No. At this time, you can only earn and redeem perks at your home park. Scanning at a separately gated waterpark (if applicable) and the dry park on the same day will only count as one total visit.

The Beast is open.

Hopefully 305 is going at KD when you go. Rumor down for a part from Intamin.

Eiffel Tower and Drop Tower were not running....

No and No.

It's not unlimited food. The app only shows wait times when in the park, but there are other sites that show wait times. With over 80 rides and attractions, except for when the park is closed or weather, half of them are not closed, even with budget cuts LOL.

And to this point - Can The Beast run with the exit gate ajar - sure it can - how many years did it operate without a sensor or magnetic gate there and could be open or unlocked and the ride still ran.... But safety is always a continuous improvement and thus the change to a magnetic exit in recent years, along with other safety features that most of the general public never see or here about. Most of the GP fail to realize that safety is the utmost importance on these rides and because the rides are a closed system, any sensor that faults cause the ride to shut down, even when there isn't a real risk to the guests. That is intentional. Sure they could program The Beast to still run when the exit gate opens, but why would you do that and run the what if risk? Contrast that to a vehicle - your O2 sensor can come on, your check engine light can come on, you can open your door while in motion, the car will go without the seatbelt latched, etc. All of these are sensors that fault and throw up a warning light on your dashboard, but the car doesn't stop in its tracks and allows you to still drive it with those warnings. At some point, depending on the severity of the issue, the car may came to a stop LOL, but it isn't as soon as the PLC throws a warning. Could you imagine a warning light coming on in your vehicle on I-71 and the car immediately stops and the chaos that occurs with all the vehicles behind you trying to avoid you. That would be a worse scenario than letting you continue with a check engine light on. Because a ride is a controlled environment, it can stop whenever the ride programs it to stop because it is a closed environment without having to worry about other outside entities being impacted by it. Sure it is a minor inconvenience to the guest, but it ensures that safety of the guests and employees are put first, along with the operational longevity of the ride because it isn't running hours on end with a "check engine" equivalent light on.

I never saw it run.

^to be a terpy and pull a factual, it didn't open Memorial Day weekend in 2020 due to Covid....but yeah get your point.

It has been closed since Tuesday night.

You cannot.

It doesn't help that kids and their parents have no respect for the landscaping. So much gets destroyed to go get that picture by the sign or decoration. At least it isn't getting torn up this year with the hide a front of the line pass lol. passes

But people feel it is more fun to social media blast instead of asking for a new one or refund - they need the likes and what not LOL. They probably have the meal plan. Did you see the person complaining on FB that a food stand had no napkins? Instead of letting an employee know they tried to FB shame the park.

Is that USD or Canadian pricing

People talk about our reduced hours...meanwhile over at Six Flags over Texas they decided to close on Tuesdays in the summer, along with 7 and 8pm closes (a park that usually pulls 3million in attendance):

Drink stand in Action Zone isn't open (so lets add another one there lol), nor are the usual normally closed stands. Alcohol stands are open for the 1% of guests today of legal age lol

That will be part of the brews and tattoos festival later this year

It was closed so much last year as well that people just come to expect it to not be running. But hey at least it isn't as bad as Kings Dominion's Eiffel Tower!

Both trains only ran last Friday. On Saturday it went to one train, and Sunday the ride was closed with the temp gates blocking the entrance/exit way and did not open again until yesterday afternoon with one train...

Until they decide to do something with the Tower Gardens space, that is probably the closest we get to a museum.

Current state of CP Museum:

So much for the fate of TT2 impacting sales!

Unfortunately to big corp, employees are just a number and replaceable....all the while touting their associates are their best asset....

Probably Evan's last piece about KI, at least while employed at WCPO.
