They said yes last year , but that was never the case in actuality. Not sure this year.

You can state something as a fact when it is based on years of proven market data. Plus have these people never heard of hyperbole? LOL

On a tastier note, the pastry chef at least understood the assignment this year. Elvis may have left the building, but he is alive at KI. Yes thats banana with peanut butter and BACON

I didn't think we were at odds THAT often are we LOL

I’m good with this. I agree get rid of the limits and no variables in price park to park. It is what it is. You live closer to a flagship park than a second tier- luck of the draw. I only offer the “pick a park” as a selfish. Regardless you should get %50 off gate price for any park and free parking. Also I like the idea of VIP add on for all tiers so if you don’t care about those benefits, you don’t pay for them at the platinum level. Dining and drink should still relate to the parks you can visit with total number of clicks being able to be redeemed at any park you can go to on your pass- not with discounted tickets.

I think that’s actually a pretty good idea with the amount of park clicks matching the amount of dining clicks except for unlimited at your home park. I do wish they would get rid of the regional thing and have HomePark SILVER, Pick 3-4 parks GOLD, All Parks PLATINUM (or whatever you want to call them. Dining and drinks would work the same. The Home park could have a true “Summer pass” that’s just Memorial-Labor day, no free parking, no discount. There are people that geographically live closer to parks out of their region than ones in and it would be nice to have that option. Dining and drinks plans follow with dining, dining plus and dining deluxe being an add on for each pass type at related prices. If you have pick a park gold, you have to have gold dining basic, plus, deluxe etc, but it works at the 3 parks you choose.

I was there Monday and it went down for a few minutes, but when back up the first half of the ride till the main theatre stage was silent. Then Friday night the queue area went fully dark except for the chandeliers for a few moments, the “lightning strike” returned it to full bright so I wasn’t sure if it was just a new cycle I’d never seen.

Yeah… I don’t think this played out the way Herschend had hoped. They definitely could’ve tempered things with a nice donation this year to the parks alliance or a special night or two even cheaper for Louisville residents. Unfortunately they did nothing, and now anything they do after all the drama is just going to look like groveling. Bad decisions this week HERSCHEND

Somehow, I never touched a flashlight on 2 rides through on Monday, yet scored on all 3 colors. Different amounts!? Wonder if you don’t shoot at all your flashlights just syncs with the ones in the paired car?

Wonder if it's KI, SALLY or a combo of both still making these tweaks. It seems like theres more dialogue now as well, or at least yo can hear it better. I rode it this week 2x and feel like the ending w Maestro and Larry had different lines each time - both ending with a variation of "You'll be back:"

Music definitely seems better. The entrance area seems to have a track ive not heard previous to this week. The overall sound system seems to be running an underscore based on the original theme, and the in-car audio seems to be carrying Larry's voice over with individual characters having their own dedicated speakers. Sound levels in the queue seem much better as well with both characters being heard in all areas of the queue.

Noodle on THAT for a few minutes.

Which was about as uncreative, and welcome as one could imagine LOL. How they’ve not done a pasta place is beyond me. Noodles are dime a dozen and you just heat some vats of sauce… you’d think they be all over cheap food for the masses.

I found a video from Dorney Park in 2019, but pretty much the same vibes at KI that first year with the international entertainment and walk around characters.
