^Why would Skyline want to give up the indoor seating? Or is KI forcing it?

So they are closing their doors at King's Dominion....Does that mean they will remain at Kings Dominion

It has been done on coasters....CP even did it with Iron Dragon... https://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Virtual_reality_roller_coaster

It gets hit several times a year, as it is basically a lightning rod LOL. Eiffel Tower gets hit as well, along with WindSeeker and the big steel coasters get hit on occasion as well. Most of the time the grounding works as intended, but sometimes lightning does its own thing. Sometimes it is even caught on camera LOL:

Nothing to do with the Free Fall and has been discussed in a thread here somewhere - different manufacturer and different restraints. Drop Tower has a seat belt between the legs and that one didn't and is the main difference (well FreeFall also has seats that tilt forward which didn't help the situation). It would have been a different outcome had that ride had seat belts (and why a brand new ride didn't learn from the past and have them is crazy) AND had they not allowed the seat to be altered. In addition to the safety aspect of Drop Tower seat belt not allowing someone to slide thru, it would also prevent the ride from going with the restraint as high up as the Free Fall ride because the Drop Tower restraints will lock a lot higher, but if the seat belt doesn't lock, then no ride. The seat belt is a certain length for a reason. Your spy reports are wrong LOL. It ran until August 9th and was struck that night/next morning by lightning and fried some components that can only be obtained by Intamin and they had a long lead time that kept getting pushed and when it became obvious it wouldn't be here in time for final weekend, they went ahead and started winter prep for the ride early... It was down a bit for wind this year, as well as another lightning strike earlier in the summer (July 6th) that knocked it out a few days while the spare part was put in (thus why when it blew again a month later they didn't have a spare available as they were waiting on the part).

And after you have the complete set, you will sell them on ebay for $11,000 (cross threading)

^The fine print does say subject to change at any time, but the last weekend to make a change (I know we still have Winterfest, but make the change then)? Not the first or last time we will see an offering for the meal plan change during some part of the season...

In that case, you order it at night when it is dark and you can't see it.....oh wait (can't buy after 7pm for those not following along LOL)

International Street LaRosa's. They are premade so no customization.

It would be simple LOL. Just swing the Banshee cam that is looking at Orion and swing it back to Banshee LOL (might need to angle down a little and maybe to the right, but it probably was close)

@BoddaH1994 People are starting to get Pass Perks for a one day VIP lounge - just your luck that will be what you get LOL

Yep, this should have never got that far. Would hate to hear how much CF spent on this. Totally agree, for the overwhelming majority, passholders got a great deal out of this and certainly more than they legally would have been required to do given the Terms and Conditions.

Due to all the complaints of the VIP lounge and amenities being devalued, they eliminated it for next year

Wait for the disappointment social media posts to begin about it not being year round operations LOL.

You mean like all the recycling bins....

Based on the picture, it is clearly the 50 foot platform re-opening

But it hides the almost always closed Freestyle station

New pass season-long add on LOL. $10 for unlimited bring your phone in the park access. $25 for Prestige holders because they like to pay more for the same thing

Look how long it took them to get the discount correct for Prestige Passholders....I see a BOGO having the same issues with their system.... How most Prestige passholders feel

Will you buy the limited edition 80s pin set

I have seen people have a diabetic episode in line or out in a midway. First Aid is called and they or security simply bypass the guest paying line to immediately get a cup or soda or a bottled soda for the person. Even if someone has a bag full of supplies, First Aid should still be called as that is what they are there for. First aid can also transport someone out to their car to get any supplies that may be in the car.

Was the picture taken before or after Hurricane Ian came thru...

Article about it for those that prefer more text than Twitter provides lol https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/apples-crash-detection-feature-iphone-203043205.html

I would think busy given it is the first Haunt Sunday, the weather is nice, and some may be off school/work tomorrow...

It varies per park. Historically KI is one of the last CF parks to announce. But generally (except for the Covid years), the parks usually open around the same time as the year prior, so looking at this year's calendar for the parks you want to visit next year should give you a good idea.
