Yeah i guess you are correct - it was the year end report for 2022 - I guess the unknown is were that passes for the 2022 or 2023 season or both? They leave it open to interpretation. I would assume a large chunk of the season pass sales for a given year comes from the early sale the year prior? But either way, attendance was down in 2022 if that record number of passes was solely for 2022 and if it included 2023 then the downward attendance trend has continued this season.

Um....they sold a record number of season passes for 2023...but people aren't attending or spending...

Especially with the extra minerals added in from banging the bags of ice on the ground and then dumping them in with unsanitized hands lol. Oh yeah and then the rare treat when they add some lemon chunks in lol Tasty.

Yeah and yet many will still renew and buy. Every year we hear people say they aren't gonna buy a pass or meal plan and at the end of the day they end up buying lol

Because some people just hand CF their credit card and tell them to take whatever they think is fair And others won't read the options and purchase prestige thinking that is the new platinum and be forced to buy the passport at higher costs next year when they find that out going up to CP with their Prestige to only be denied for not having the passport add-on lol

So your cost per visit is higher than past years for the privilege of coolor water lol. Gonna Prestige next year lol

Yeah right lol. When was the last time you sat out a year at KI? Don't be petty over something like reduced hours and watering down benefits

They should - usually around 2nd week or so. CP gold just went on sale.

So is this going to be known as T3, TTT, or TT2?

Looks like your gut was wrong lol But I do agree with you that it seems odd they would incorporate Top Thrill into the name.

If only they had a big announcement coming up and only those staying at CF owned properties would be invited to the announcement. They could fill them in no time lol

You mean another CF park is only going to do a press release for a much bigger announcement than KI's improvement this year? Maybe it's the company and not the person (cross-threading) I mean what they plan to do with TTD is a highly anticipated announcement.

At 4:20 to correspond to the spike height

Associates willing/wanting/asking to work isn't the issue...

Made it to an article https://www.yahoo.com/news/cedar-point-fans-asking-online-122907611.html

Popcorn sales are down, let's fire up this thread again Apparently it is easier to block people on social media than ban people from the park lol

Now _ _its in the shed

Capacity for a triple launch will be horrendous LOL. It better be a near 100% uptime ride or its overall capacity will be worse than TTD taking into account downtime LOL. It will be interesting to see public reaction. The entire Thrill of TTD was the zero to 120mph in 3.9 seconds. Now it will be like what like 15 seconds LOL.

Link didn't open for me. 120mph over the top hat seems a little extreme LOL

Another fear mongering article. An expert says ""If it's happening in various locations, they didn't have certified or qualified welders," .... "I mean, here's the question: Would you let your mother ride on that thing? Absolutely not."" This expert is claimed to be an NCDOT-certified welder, which means he works on bridges. I wonder if he can explain why 1,300 bridges in North Carolina are deemed structurally deficient and 5,400 bridges are in need of repair. In other words, the bridges that hundreds of thousands of people in vehicles pass over every day in his state are in worse condition than any operating ride in North Carolina. He is okay letting his mother travel over those... A roller coaster would not be permitted to operate if it were structurally deficient or in need of repair, yet the bridges are allowed to continue to operate. There are usually more deaths from a bridge failure than roller coaster failures. Heck there are probably more bridge failures (collapse) every year than there are roller coaster failures. Obviously he has not worked on roller coasters. The stresses on those are much different than other welding situations, including bridges. I cannot believe that he has not done a point repair on a bridge over his 20 year career. Probably not a steel coaster exists that hasn't had a spot repair at some point during its life. https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/carowinds-fury-325-second-crack-break-north-carolina-officials-statement-support-beam-repairs-update/275-48386e32-a338-461a-a34d-ceffd47f4489?fbclid=IwAR2D5oXEm8Ai8H6oPyPu4VuJxrM58BaSS6aVIOadO1KtVhxpHUh_A9UXyHw

They close things early that make them money, so why would they keep a charity stand open longer

Now they charge you almost 3 times the amount of Gold pass for VIP

I wouldn't call it silence - they have been way more upfront than many other parks. Something happened and they are giving it a very detailed inspection that would typically occur after daily operation ends. That is a good thing. As @jsuspointed out, repairs to welds happen all the time and this is just typical media fear mongering... Go to CP and stay at Breakers with a park side room and more times than not you can see the flashes of welding on Steel Vengeance happening in the middle of the night. Does CP send out a press release every time they replace some welds on a coaster? Does any park? You would be surprised how often point repairs are done. What about all the point repairs The Bat got (that are very visible if you know where to look) - did KI provide updates? No they did not... What about every wooden roller coaster? They replace wood on them all the time - like sometimes if you visit consecutive days you can see a decent size that was replaced overnight and can be like "how did they replace that much from park close to park open the next day"? OK, so you are thinking of going to KD instead - their Eiffel Tower, Delirium, and Drop Tower have been down all year - has KD provided a statement as to why they are closed and expected opening? No they have not...and just one day they simply disappeared from the wait times on the app, which probably means they are not going to open this year... So based on your logic of silence, maybe you don't want to visit KD either....

I think that has always just been another entrance. I do not think it ever had Fast Lane. If it did, it hasn't since 2017, but I am sure we can find an older post. https://KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33235-fast-lane-question/&do=findComment&comment=777526
