The thing is, the park likes to drag their feet on information that’s not really new news. They act like they have some huge announcement to make but in all reality it’s always a let down. Here’s to hoping that Pumpkin Eater or Coney Maul finally goes away and is replaced with a new theme. Would love to see them do a “Die-In Movie” themed zone over where the shooting star drive-in is. That would save them so much time in turn around for Winterfest.

Yeah!

Did anyone experience the Friday the 13th feature during Fear Fest 2004?

I’m pretty sure Jason will be in the Action Theater (it was listed as Project 13 on permits). As far as other additions for this year, maybe the zone that got scraped after being announced last year (The Gauntlet) will replace Pumpkin Eater & a new show in the FestHaus or in the Bandstand?

Universal did the same thing last year with Jason Universe.

Hope we get Dark Ride like Knott’s had! CW has a version of it this year as well

Thankfully, we do have NyteWalkers confirmed (the ramps have been repainted & the sign is above the stage). As far as the bandstand & Festhaus, idk.

Ben Fuller has been confirmed as well! Ben Fuller Music @ SpiritSong 2023

My wife & I plan to launch our new vlog that evening (The Islanders Vlog). Looking forward to the soft launch of the 50th anniversary! This is going to be an awesome & memorable season!

Dollywood & SDC are more family/kid centered parks. KI & other Cedar Fair parks are a mixed demographic with more thrills than kid friendly attractions. So it would make sense for Dollywood and it’s sister parks to do an event like that compared to Cedar Fair and have both a daytime and nighttime event

It’s almost like they could make Rivertown & Planet Snoopy the treats side for kids, then Action Zone & Coney Mall/Area 72 the tricks side with a more Haunt approach. International Street & the walkway between Coney & Rivertown could serve as transition points with a middle ground feel (the Pumpkin Eater vibe minus scareactors)

Many of the Cedar Fair parks have announced today (February 25th) that they are getting rid of Haunt & expanding Tricks and Treats to an all day event. Will this trend come to KI & was 2021 the last year of Haunt?! IF Haunt is no more, does this mean that KI will remove the maze buildings for future attraction use?!

I know, I’m just stating my opinion lol

The Beast is DEFINITELY the most overrated attraction at the park imo… there, I said it! Lol

Haunt is coming back for 2021!!

Back on topic… IF we do have Haunt this year, what would you all like to see come, go & return?!

They painted it solid black. I honestly think it has ran it’s course at Haunt. Remember, they keep Wolf Pack & Slaughterhouse’s ID signs up year-round too.

I was at the park yesterday & it looks like Blackout isn’t returning (the facade was painted over). What could be replacing it?! I would love to see a new pirate maze be placed there to tie in with the SZ. Also, do you think they will be retiring Urgent Scare after the events of last year (and the fact it’s been there the longest)?

HHN's headliners are always in soundstages. Usually the originals/small IPs are in sprung tents. The quality in them aren't always the best (especially early in the night when there is still light).

There’s already a campground in the works behind McDonalds & Wendy’s, so it would be pointless for KI to invest in. Making one as well

Could we be getting the GateKeeper/ Fury 325 treatment in the future?! New entrance with a new coaster interacting with it in some form?!

I doubt they would acknowledge Haunt's anniversary (sadly)
