Next year when it just gets lumped in with all Six Flags parks (like Six Flags seems to do for this poll), the chain will take the top spot in 2024

I love an article dated today 12/8/23 and states: "The event kicks off the day after Thanksgiving and includes more than 5 million lights, some 20 rides, ice skating, the WinterFest Wonderland parade, mouthwatering holiday menus, and a 314-foot-tall Christmas tree built around the park’s Eiffel Tower" Now granted that quote is from the USA Today poll prior to Thanksgiving and makes sense within that USA Today article context, but WKRC could have modified it to kicked off in the past tense and what about the 7 million lights? Did they reach out to the park for a quote or anything? Was the article just setting in the queue waiting for the USA Today article? Does only getting 3rd mean more cuts for next year LOL? https://local12.com/news/local/kings-island-winterfest-top-amusement-park-holiday-events-10-best-usa-today-readers-poll-votes-survey-third-place-list-ranking-christmas-winter-mason-cincinnati-ohio?-fbpost&fbclid=IwAR3sZwwJI6UtTaKohVaTzIipT8sdV8A_3A1komQhUW4iJoZukBo37y08ah4 https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-theme-park-holiday-event-2023/

Because California wants everything electric and zero emissions by 2035 - lawn mowers, weed eaters, cars, trains, anything powered... https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/transportation/california-adopts-first-ever-rules-to-decarbonize-freight-trains

What a deal LOL. Is that valid for Prestige passholders as well, or did they tell them screw you like the WF BAF

Private event maybe?

It is rented out thru the 18th and I think only one or two days have been the "select Nights" open to the GP, but I believe it has been the same for those nights.

This way it will encourage people instead to do the decorating cookies or buy fudge or some other treat (being sarcastic but it could be their thought process too LOL).

Now if this were Facebook, the next 20 posts would be "Is this on the meal plan"

It's a knock-off Or they took the Taylor Swift college course and learned to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity to be one of the 250, and then they go and sell more after LOL

Why that would be the Wonder Wand of course

It is..It may reach a lot of households but most probably pitch it as junk mail.

I am talking about the recycle bin at home unless you get the Reach magazine mailed to you at KI lol, in which case yes the recycling bins have been gone for many years.

Does anybody even look at that any more or just immediate recycle bin

"Why did you retire from Kings Island?" some think....

Got Bot?

The original Fun Perks program in 2012 was based on spending in the park, but even then the metrics of how much needed to be spent were never presented. The new pass perks seem to be based on not visiting and are used to try to entice people to visit the park. I know way more people that rarely visit that got a pass perk than those that frequent the place. And enhanced perks for the Prestige - forget about it LOL.

Caveat Emptor

I heard they completely removed the early exclusive line benefit already. You know the same one that we still have here, but isn't enforced AT ALL and many times takes the longest to get thru, so for all intents and purposes isn't a benefit at all LOL

Just like most of the Prestige benefits As you know, KD gets Prestige next year but many benefits started this year (sound familiar). I hear that the Prestige passholders at KD are already seeing the same sort of nonsense going on after purchasing theirs for next year as well.

Or awarded at all

Weird, it played the 12 days when I rode it. I guess song selection is subject to change as well Caveat emptor

On a positive note, since the VIP is now a money maker, it will remain open until park close thru Winterfest. Of course, that is subject to change at any time.

On this episode of who said it better

They already got your money But they missed a real upcharge opportunity at Coney BBQ and could have charged to provide gravy with the turkey The first year of the mac-n-cheese bar was the best. It has been getting worse every year.

That is what I am leaning towards. It appears to be glitchy at the moment looking at various social media posts.
