New track and new sensors so there are always bugs. The downtime is getting less as the season goes on. I have not felt any potholes. Are you sure it wasn't a perceived bump due to the trim brake catching harder than your previous rides? I have experienced a little "jump" based on the trims catching a little harder that are probably a result of the train hitting the track more abruptly than gliding over with less trim and letting the upstop wheels do their thing.

Diamondback operated on Sunday. It had some Father's Day activities in the morning and got a late start

^Just like the warnings to an individual guest about not recording on rides or not smoking....I cannot tell you how many repeat offenders I have seen do that. If they are not going to toss them immediately, at least take their name down and toss them when they are caught doing it again later that day. I have been walking with security before and their response has been only take a name if they get belligerent and confrontational...they are given some discretion and leeway in addressing the matter based on the circumstances. But I am sure many believe it should be a zero tolerance policy.

He does it twice in one day and only gets a warning... "Since the owner left his dog inside of the hot vehicle twice in one day, Kings Island advised the owner he would not be welcomed back in the park for the rest of the day. The officer told the dog’s owner that if he returned and found the dog left alone inside of the locked car again, the owner would be charged with cruelty to animals, according to the police report." https://www.fox19.com/2022/06/20/owner-leaves-dog-inside-115-degrees-vehicle-while-visiting-kings-island-police-report/?fbclid=IwAR233Dp5_9DYsuGkFncnmUyuVoc_ertG_QQZwaKiPixJRImMCqjKpHKTo4Y

Eliminating Bring a Friend discount no doubt had an impact on the crowd size...as did people's past experiences with Father's Day crowds and staying away...so a lot came today The south end of the lot still has the row signs. Maybe not replacing the signs on the north side is a clue along with the land clearing nearby for a parking lot coaster

Some of the videos I saw were crazy.

Amazing that people don't know what fences and restricted area signs and do not climb signs mean..but also kinda surprised we don't see it more often... But back to the title of the thread lol. Kind of surprised the park isn't busier today.

^comedy act with a "kid", video of Evil Knieval jump...a good addition with connections to park history. Not the same show that Cedar Point had other than both had scooters, BMX, and tramp wall lol.

^can you report if the violators were escorted from the park?

Surveying and preliminary engineering does not require a permit. A zone change is not required, so the park could wait until final plans are produced and submit for permits then if it works with their schedule.

Many of the rides, both young and old, were suffering from heat exhaustion this week and were taking frequent breaks

You mean like Winterfest would never return...

^Let's just say it has the making to look like it will be a money maker today LOL.

Sounds like unruly guests and fights...unconfirmed but other social media sites have people posting gun shots. https://www.wlwt.com/article/police-respond-to-incident-at-coney-island-water-park-after-world-record-attempt/40328389

Did they elaborate on the safety issues? Was it an incident that happened or was it a safety issue they should have anticipated and planned for by agreeing to do this? Edit: despite the park saying it was capacity issues (which should have been planned for and addressed), it appears something did happen: https://www.wlwt.com/article/police-respond-to-incident-at-coney-island-water-park-after-world-record-attempt/40328389

Exactly. More power to influencers that are creative enough to use this medium to continue to create content and make a living doing so (really at a certain level no different than a producer or writer for a TV show or movie just in a different medium), but as you said, this fame shouldn't come at breaking rules, nor should that wealth put them above the rules. How many of his followers are now going to copycat and get their phones out on rides...

I saw that guy walking around the park with the crowd and was wondering who he was....now I know...just another influencer looking for likes and views.

It;s the internet, I am sure Carnivale set expectations that this one will underwhelm...

Lol, reading thru this post I got a chuckle out of the person that said they took some pics and would post them after they got them developed....there is a whole set of members here too young who have no idea what that means lol. "What do you mean develop - I take a picture and then see it on my phone"

^Dang it. I hate when I miss what was posted LOL.

The start/stop into the station is basically resolved. Still some tweaks but nothing like the 10-15 stops.

What fun is that for decoding lol

And those that walk into LaRosas and cannot decide do they want the cheese pizza or the pepperoni pizza! That is one food line that should be fast but rarely is due to customers.

^and don't forget about the person in front of you that fills their cup to the brim with ice, then proceeds to dump all the ice out and you are next and there is no more ice...

It appears the waterline was put in before the season started. Several cuts thru the parking lot and new hydrants along KI drive.
