  1. Or it could be that many experienced or witnessed the train getting stuck at the top of the lift hill way more than normal in the days leading up to the closure and they are waiting on that part so that it quits happening. It isn't a good look to have a coaster at the front of the park stuck and people screaming when guests are entering the park LOL.
  2. Almost like they are trying to encourage it to do poorly so they can justify removing the event and/or doing something different. The wine fest should have gave them good data on what ala carte sales does to an event like this.
  3. The park rarely issues an explanation when a ride is down for an extended period of time. But usually when it is down for a period of time, it is because they are waiting on a part.
  4. And less noise LOL. People do not realize how loud the Diamondback lift is until they sit back there!
  5. Let go of one and hire 5 non-locals to replace... https://www.wcpo.com/about-us/wcpo-9-hires-five-new-reporters-to-better-serve-the-tri-state
  6. That little bit of savings goes towards their bonuses It has been this way for most of the summer at KI with the drink+ plan - you get the drink plan cup and not the ICEE cup with a lid. Doesn't mean that some haven't been lucky and the associate didn't just give you the bigger ICEE cup and lid, but they have been told to use the smaller drink plan cup with no lid. No idea if it is an ICEE or KI request.
  7. They lost the keys to the cargo containers
  8. Well they hope the bring a friend buys a meal or drink or fudge. But I agree, a lottery for a small piece of fudge is crazy and not enough to convince someone on the fence about making a visit to KI to come visit. As I mentioned above, make it an experience or opportunity that isn't being sold.
  9. He can be found throughout the park as well. Scavenger hunt time LOL. Here is the first one, with the design strategically highlighting him. Who can find the next one?
  10. Separate ticketed event with zoo members getting $3 off the $25 cost. Thoughts??? https://local12.com/news/local/cincinnati-zoo-pumpkin-jack-olantern-get-pumped-new-lantern-glow-will-feature-5000-halloween-lights-botanical-garden-walk-event-ticket-admission-member-animal#
  11. Apparently a 17 year old flew out of their Zephyr type ride yesterday. And people complain about the KI response for Banshee, but that was an end of story from the beginning event because almost immediately it was conveyed a guest entered a restricted area and was hit by Banshee and that appeased the curiosity of the general public and the park didn't need to release statements or elaborate more than what they did in a press release to the media. But at Wonderland, it wasn't as simple of an incident and the next day the general public still doesn't really have an answer. Did the guest fall out or were they inside the fence and got hit by the ride or rider? Some articles suggest she had a medical emergency and fell out but nobody will elaborate: "Police, paramedics and Canada’s Wonderland would not confirm if she fell from a ride" And Wonderland's socials make zero comment of the incident. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/teen-girl-17-taken-to-hospital-after-fall-at-canadas-wonderland/article_37f4c396-3fee-11ef-bd06-bfa88449c7f5.html
  12. New Sign on Eiffel Tower
  13. It has been down since last week and the fence was added after a few days of it being closed.
  14. I would assume KIC would fall under this as there is video content produced from time to time and the basis of the discussions? How many of these has this site "violated" recently.... Is this new "policy" retroactive or moving forward.... Will the TOS be updated to reflect these changes.... Does this policy apply to FB sites.... What is the "enforcement" - is it simply not invited to media events and the like or do they ban folks that violate it as if it is a park policy? So many questions....
  15. The new sign: https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/places/cedar-point/cedar-point-sign-change-main-entrance-tony-clark-update/95-56247d7d-8bcb-4ed4-b81d-34b2af198624?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2vglvZYjUj-sxriGAQc9u67XmmSesi_wkSDKxEgcTHPddhnu_S2YY-f7Y_aem_BgEL0HA-QY96G29brJuYyA
  16. CPs is a picnic shelter. Ours looks like the size of an Eagle Scout Project

  18. So do they dig up the parade route as it gets marked in white This is a pk nail survey marker...
  19. Not close to Vortex but a survey marker in Coney Mall by arcade across from Skyline.
  20. That is an awesome return of a previous event!
  21. Synergies of the merger baby I cannot believe it is a lottery for a small piece of fudge. I can't see someone saying "hey lets go to KI to get entered into the small fudge lottery" LOL. Make it an experience that isn't currently offered or something that costs a lot, but really wouldn't be to the park. A free cabana at Soak City or Igloo at Winterfest come to mind. Or an experience like you and 9 friends get to watch the fireworks from the I-street restaurant with cookies and ice cream. Or a sunrise tour climbing Orion lift hill.
  22. They sure did put on the show, even the drones. 15 minute show.
