^and hope they limit the quantity of prestige passes sold or you still may be back to Racer using your one-time front of the line pass their lol. I see visions of some of the October Sundays where FL line is longer than regular line cause everyone is redeeming their free fastlane lol.... Edited to set the record straight since people keep replying to this post thinking I don't know what the front of the line pass means - I HAVE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD AND I AM FULLY AWARE THAT THE FRONT OF THE LINE PASS IS A ONE TIME USE FOR ONE RIDE PER VISIT AND IT IS NOT A FAST LINE WRISTBAND....I HAVE USED THE ONE TIME VOUCHER BEFORE GOING BACK TO AT LEAST 2016 AND I AM WELL AWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW THEY ARE USED... I was making a sarcastic comment that apparently people miss what lol and can imply in that situation...

Or possibly the old Paramount Passholder entrance to the left of the existing front gate.

I can hear Karyn on FunTv now..... "What is better than Platinum, why that would be Prestege +"

Seeing that some of the other parks are now mentioning the Prestige pass, one should conclude that the + version would gain you access to those at parks with them?

We have a clue that Timberwolf is returning based on the Terms and Conditions But it also contradicts since is says parking is included, yet it says here Fees for parking are not included... Fees for parking, food, merchandise, games, pay-per-experience attractions, concerts, and special events are not included...

Already being discussed here:

So is this a return of a passholder lot like back in Paramount days, unless this is to put you into the existing preferred parking lot? Looks like the Waterpark will get a VIP area next year, and based on this it appears most/all of the parks will be introducing VIP areas for 2023. 15% Discount is mentioned twice, so do you get to use the discount twice per purchase And you are right, if they do not cap this, the VIP lounges will get overtaken and crowded quickly.

Do we count Dippin Dots to the chain mix LOL. Or Auntie Anne's. Or Graeters. Regardless, a large component of food offerings are chains.

^There are more than 2 places to get Larosas in the park...and if you throw Soak City in the mix then you can add another Skyline to the mix (albeit an Express) And you forgot the chain Tom+Chee to your list.

Re-read 6 posts up.....

The number is 513-434-6337

One would think that, but per cap spending is up a lot, as are season pass sales. More people have opted for stay-cations and thus hit the regional parks more than say a trip to Disney or another far away destination and are spending some of what they planned to spend on these items. I know plenty of people visiting the park more because of this, and I know many long-time Disney fans that gave up Disney visits this year and upgraded to CF Platinum and visited the reasonable driving distance parks instead. They also mentioned that attendance per operating day at the Company’s legacy parks is up 2% year to date, further showing people are staying closer to him and visiting regional parks instead. @BoddaH1994and Don even talk about that on their podcast that the trend the regional parks experience seem to not be as impacted and actually tend to do a little better when people decide to do stay-cations. They actually mentioned last month that thru July 4th, the attendance variance resulting from a slower recovery within the group sales channel has impacted total attendance, so it seems logical that the group/company outings are still down a month later, which is evident by visiting the park on a weekend and not seeing as many "Welcome XYZ" companies on the marque sign. They also mentioned 94 fewer operating days at the Company’s legacy parks due to a natural calendar shift and changes in early-season park operating schedules as part of the attendance decrease.

In keeping up with The Beast and adding footage to it's world record length, the same will happen to Banshee

On the earnings call today (8/3/22), record revenue continues for the year and are well above pre-covid 2019 numbers despite having 1 million less visitors, proving you can make money with fewer guests... Basically they are setting records for everything but attendance. But that decline is probably mostly contributed to outings that haven't returned in full-force since covid. And of course, after that announcement of attendance down, the unit price is now down... I would take higher revenue with fewer guests than more guests and declining revenue per cap, which was the trend leading up to covid. Per cap numbers were declining leading up to covid, but now they are at a record per cap spending, up 26% over 2019. In-park per capita spending is $60.76. Reinstatement of unit-holder distribution and authorization of program to repurchase up to $250 million units indicates the strong position they are now in.

Glad you actually saw security come based on your text. I know many that have texted with no result. Sadly do you think it stopped her from doing again elsewhere in the park? Do you think they took her name to know if another security guard catches her later so she could be escorted from the park? Personally I think they should have done more. At a minimum she should be pulled from the line and probably should be tossed from the park. Only then when word gets out of zero tolerance will we start to see behavior change by all but the most rotten apples. Sadly I have seen the same person get stopped 3 times on the same day, each by a different security person, for smoking in the park. Sadly the person is also a passholder based on the all season drink cup he carries around and further would be a recognizable figure by many people... Further, I have seen him smoking and being stopped by security on multiple different days....including passholder preview day... I actually talked to security after I saw them tell him of the policy for the 3rd time and I was like "This is the 3rd time I have seen security stop him just today for smoking" and they just kinda shrugged their shoulders and told me they reminded him. Some things need a zero tolerance, and especially a passholder that should know better. But sadly, if they only issue a warning when someone leaves a dog in their car in 110+ heat, I guess vaping in line isn't a priority...

I am sure someone knows LOL

At this point it could be for anything. Maybe something as simple as surveying where to put up a metal fence and remove the wood fence to open up the view of Banshee from that vantage point or it could be for a future attraction like an expanded VIP lounge to go along with a new pass offering....

Now a McDonald's is getting in on the action.... https://www.timesnownews.com/viral/this-mcdonalds-outlet-has-banned-all-under-18s-from-entering-after-5-pm-knowwhy-article-93247331

Strictly for the blocking. If for some reason there is a delay in the station due to getting someone on/off the ride and the train ahead has already passed the second lift, then the 1st hill goes up at the normal "faster" speed. Sit in the left hand seat near the beginning of the train and watch the 2nd lift hill. As soon as the train ahead of you is completely off the chain and the last car passes the 2nd camera you will speed up on the first hill. So that spot of speeding up is basically dictated on the dispatch time of the train in the station. A slower dispatch time and you start going faster sooner. A faster dispatch and you will go slower longer. In recent past it would go normal speed and then slow down at the top of the first hill if it needed to for blocking purposes, but the reprogramming this year changed it to our current

Bingo LOL. That is where some survey markers are showing up.

I just borrow Taylor Swift's jet so she gets blamed for the carbon emissions of the private jet

The next pin has gotta be Marge

A slide in the waterpark caught fire last night and the waterpark is closed today, but the dry side is open. https://globalnews.ca/news/9028834/slide-fire-canadas-wonderland-waterpark/

Or re-read my statement for a hint....

It was vague for a reason LOL....someone posted "while there have been no markers anywhere to my knowledge", so I was just letting them know that their post is inaccurate as that does help the conversation as they put out inaccurate information. I thought this was also a speculation thread and I guess nobody likes a good scavenger hunt anymore LOL? Should we just cut right to the chase and say the next improvement is XXXXX lol. I wanted to see if anyone else had seen them and simply didn't post about it yet, but I guess not LOL. Maybe someone can sling a shot in the air guess as to where the markers may be hiding...
