From the press release on TT2 - Top Thrill 2 will not reopen in 2024 and we anticipate a 2025 reopening. The key word is anticipate What other ride announcement uses the word anticipate to describe when it is opening? Doesn't instill confidence to me that they are confident it will open... Siren's Curse says Siren's Curse is set to lure its riders in 2025. Not anticipate, not maybe, not probably, but it is set to lure its riders in 2025. I guess one could argue set is ambiguous as well LOL. So they wanted to have a new attraction in the event the TT2 anticipate turns into "not opening".... Either that or take a page out of the KI playback and run one of their racing trains backwards And yeah, I know all about how long it takes to plan a capital improvement and blah, blah, blah, but if you got a design sitting on the shelf (or a stock model that can be bough quickly) and a piece of land to put it on and a to-date failure of a re-imagined ride, that is how things like this (and to some extent Adventure Port) happened.... If TT2 was open all year, what is the likelihood they get this coaster? And then if for some reason they are able to make TT2 reliable and open, it is an added bonus for the park...

Yeah but are you in this club Could you imagine someone spending $400,000 in legal fees to gain access to our VIP lounge lol https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/club-33-disneyland-couple-sue-scott-diana-anderson-1235998218/

If they cough up enough cash they can have any IP they want. I am sure SIX is using any IP they have paid for.

I have said it before and I will say it again lol, but I personally feel other CF parks have a better kids area than ours. Families I know that hit that demographic all say Carowinds and KD and Wonderland all all better kids areas. Heck some even say CPs is better. More shade, more things to do, etc. But like everything in these Awards, it is opinion and personal feelings (and maybe some other factors ...) more than facts...

The name pays homage to what would be a former ride while tying in the new direction of the park

Well the regions largest Starbucks is on one side of the fountain, so maybe in line with all the alcohol additions recently, the Boo Blasters space will be converted to the largest Party Source.

Now I'm hooked

The Zoo keeps trying new things this year. What about these price points: Ticket prices: $75 Early Entry $55 General Admission $55 Early Entry Designated Driver $35 General Admission Designated Driver https://cincinnatizoo.org/events/hops-holly/

She said she thought she couldn't be arrested for not leaving the parking lot driving around drunk... https://www.wlwt.com/article/kings-island-arrest-breathalyzer-alcohol-ovi-amanda-mcgee/61998624

Don't give them any ideas LOL. Let's see if you say that for the Winterfest Buffet with the extra charge for dessert

Is it time to declare the 1st season of TT2 was a bigger disaster than the 1st season of TTD? Somewhere Kinzel is relieved a new ride took the title of biggest regret/disappointment

Maybe like everything else, ours will be announced weeks later

At least he was in the park and wouldn't have been in violation if they had a chaperone policy https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2024/08/19/dad-leaves-young-kids-unattended-cedar-point-roller-coasters-sandusky-police-corkscrew-GateKeeper/74857410007/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawEwx3hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfuAAxYLBYFepp87-yJddilGEbgLakc-2MKDwjV6ZlpRe3ju0wCWFwvSVQ_aem_QR_3rXP0yJhYhJVXjrn0oQ

It sounds like they were hitting the fence around the ride and hit the umbrella for the associate as the rotation didn't slow. Sounds like maybe an error in the estop to allow it to continue to spin full speed while the ride lowered? How often do they test that and is the normal operation when it is hit? On the flip side, if the estop completely stopped the rotation, many of the riders would have slammed together and I could see certain body dimensions where the momentum of the swing would stop and their upper body continue and potentially be tossed from the ride. 2nd accident in as many months on similar rides, rip them out I am sure someone is saying somewhere...

The past hour or so it has returned to normal speeds. Fingers crossed it stays like that!

Like literally two steps away is a trash can.

Still slow on my end.

Mines seems to be faster today....until this post jinxes it LOL EDIT - it is slow again

And yet a place like Canada's Wonderland didn't take away any Winterfest when the Halloween stuff was extended another weekend...and their Winterfest goes another weekend than ours does....(yeah I know about the permits expiring 12/31)....

You were robbed of a few extra ounces LOL

The last few days, the forum seems to take forever to load and switch between sections and see posts, etc. It happens on both computer and mobile device. Anyone else having a problem?

Same can be said when Maverick and Mystic Timbers was announced....and many people will now say those are incredible coasters in their respective park...

Or this when there are literally 4 trash cans within 20 feet

The park updated the website to show this additional Haunt weekend, but.... Just like that, the park silently took away Winterfest opening the weekend before Thanksgiving and now opens Thanksgiving weekend. That is why they say on that page: "Operating dates and times are subject to change without notice. Please revisit this information prior to planning your visit."
