^looks like the skyline infused water @BeeastFarmer was hoping for

This is why there is never any ice available LOL And Skyline Line is almost to Dodgem while G&G is nobody in line. Then you see this that would drive @silver2005 nuts LOL:

So what makes everything running today on a general operating day different than tomorrow lol https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/warren-county/mason/new-kings-island-themed-area-adventure-port-to-open-saturday-feature-new-rides

MF favors speed over the hills and floater air we have on Orion AND Diamondback and I think that is why it is a fan favorite. Orion as a speed demon without all the high hills would have been a better option to separate itself from Diamondback and not be referred to as DB2.0 lol

Unlike the original invite email for Prestige that people shared on social media, the survey link can only be used once.

Nah, the actual ride at start and stop sounds like a goose getting ticked off LOL

Canadian's don't get tired of Cirque

So tired he could only provide a 3-letter one word reply

The Son of Beach

There is quite a difference between the golf course across the street and Muirfield where the tour is currently lol. Even though both courses are designed by Jack, he would just as soon not have his name attached to that course and has made efforts to distance himself from it as it was the first or one of the first courses he "designed" and certainly not in the same league as his other designs. The land is just too flat to create a championship quality course without great expense for a golf course Mason loses money on every year to begin with. It is just too easy of a course for every tour level, which is why the PGA, LPGA, and senior tour all had stints there and left. Losing the ATP could be the final straw to see that whole tract turned into condos and homes. It has already happened to 27 holes there.

It is not a surprising that folks rank Diamondback over Orion. Almost everyone I know says that. In addition many think Orion is 4th just at KI behind The Beast, Diamondback, and Mystic Timbers. Further, Orion is consistently ranked the bottom North America giga by many polls... Heck, even the Golden Ticket awards ranks Diamondback at #17 ahead of Orion at #20 (last place giga).

Getting rid of FastLane

I don't even know if I would call it a weekday park - certainly better than a Saturday but weekdays are way more crowded and less staffed than prior to 2019 weekdays, but my weekday visit experience is enough that I doubt I will go up again this year. I know many that have wrote that park off until they see improvements to the experience. I wrote off Halloweekends after the 2019 fiasco and haven't seen any social media posts indicating it has improved any. I am about ready to right off any visits there. Just not a fun experience at the moment. And a single Fast Lane use if implemented at Cedar Point will be a nightmare. FastLane can already exceed 45 minutes there.

While I understand your point, if that were the case, they would have simply increased the rates of daily admission and season passes as a way to limit attendance. The costs of these items have not kept up with inflation, increased staffing pay, etc. and is priced well under the value it offers. Increase the price of everything and give everyone the same experience. But oh wait before Covid thru a curve to everything, Disney was employing that concept as a way to control attendance and attendance records kept getting broken. They attributed the increased attendance even though higher prices had a psychological effect of being more exclusive and more for the rich, so it encouraged even more people to go so they could brag that they could still afford Disney to the friends and neighbors... Now as it relates to CF, they have proven (short term obviously post-covid) that they can have lower attendance like was seen in 2022, yet have record profits. While 2022 attendance was down 4% compared to pre-covid 2019, full year 2022 revenue was up 23% compared to pre-covid 2019, thus proving you don't have to give away the gate and have increased attendance every year and can still produce record revenue... As much as many hate to see it, I suspect until the tide turns, we will continue to see upcharge premium offerings as it is a way to increase per-cap spending for those already in the park or as in incentive to purchase premium offerings. The problem they have to solve is where is that balance. If for every guest that says "screw this" and doesn't come back because they had a horrible experience standing in the regular line and saw the same person in FastLane lap them 25 times before they rode it, there are 4 guests that buy the upcharge, things won't change. It will change when "regular" and "premium" guests attendance and spending go down. I really thought we would see that at Cedar Point, but people keep going. Last year more than ever they seemed to get slammed on social media for long wait times (regular and Fast Lane), many rides not running, few food places open, etc. and yet people still go up there like it is a premium experience. Even having Fast Lane up there is a not enjoyable experience at the moment.

They do not publish those. Every once in a while you will see them post a yearly total, but I think it has been several years since they have done that.

They did that with the Prestige pass and then pulled the ole "bait and switch", thus ticking off their highest spending guests, many of which have every possible season-pass add-on and buy extra food and merch on many visits and certainly drove up the per cap numbers. So what happens when they tick off the regular guest and the highest spending guests....

Now remember they say that the FastLane doesn't increase your wait time as those people would have already been in line blah blah blah....maybe it it were a one and done Fast Lane, but with the current approach, you can see the same group marathon 15-20 times before you get on. And what you visibly saw once into the station of having to wait an additional one or two more cycles was happening the ENTIRE time you were in line... Look at Dragster where they ran one loading station for FastLane and the other for the regular line. You cannot tell me that doesn't increase your wait time...

Totally agree. It should have been a wristband or lanyard that gets a hole punched when you completed a ride. So one front of the line per FL ride. Just think they could make more money because inevitably someone would just purchase another wristband/lanyard when they used up the first one LOL. Now we all know what will happen. On the busy Saturday when FastLane has been "sold out" we will see them selling these single use FastLane passes.

Sorry for double post but it appears a vote happens next month https://local12.com/sports/content/deal-move-western-southern-open-tournament-mason-ohio-lindner-tennis-center-face-first-vote-charlotte-cincinnati-beemok#

^They had free lockers inside the VIP last year, so adding ones as a rental now would be an even bigger bait and switch insult to then charge for them.

Gotta increase the per cap spending and these are quick ways to do it. They do have paper maps kinda...for the food locations as that increase per cap spending LOL

The final lift hill today had it all working except for the heat at the crest of the hill. But maybe it didn't work the next cycle or tomorrow LOL.

Today's version of VIP gets you not 2, but 1 cooler. Infused cooler water hasn't made an appearance lol.

These aren't the drones you're looking for

They have listened to your concerns since the EXIT ONLY signage wasn't enough to stop people, they posted these at eye level exit points (but doesn't solve your example of the places that are easier to bypass) that people will ignore as well...
