  1. Free lockers, which means more in-line metal detectors… Definitely not a fan of that.
  2. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides-experiences/xtreme-skyflyer
  3. Six Flags set the tone with off season ride closures and now other parks are following suit:
  4. The restroom next to the VIP lounge at Kings Island, though often busy and not the cleanest due to its proximity to the trash compactor, still has its practical merits. Its central location makes it a convenient option for guests in the area, especially if other restrooms are further away or packed. For someone like Don Helbig, who famously marathoned The Racer, it would have been a quick and accessible stop between laps, despite the less-than-ideal surroundings. While it may not be the most pristine or peaceful restroom in the park, its convenience and accessibility make it a reliable choice when in a pinch.
  5. The park should put a log flume in The Vortex plot.
  6. Got shown an ad from KI on YouTube. River Racers looks a lot different from what I remember being unveiled:
  7. I’m laying mouse traps in retaliation.
  8. Lay offs have now affected Carowinds: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article299317534.html
  9. Add two coasters to the Winterfest lineup and you get results:
  10. I agree. Having visited both KD’s Winterfest and BGW’s Christmas Town it was obvious. The park with the most coasters operating drew a larger crowd. That was 2023, and in 2024 what did KD do to level the playing field with BGW’s Christmas Town? Nothing.
  11. As of today, Diamondback is prepped and ready for some ads. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Gv7CqVWsuAkdkEzLfKiJZaF9kGD7HGvh3qQyAhmDwKzX***BVVmieAzZeuGkmovTl&id=100064730913995
  12. It appears KD isn’t the only park issuing layoffs: https://www.screamscape.com/html/legoland_florida.htm#general
  13. Ka’s fate was likely sealed with the TT2 fiasco. So in a sense yes, it’s Cedar Point’s fault.
  14. PayScale differences aside. I've always respected managers who were willing to "get into the trenches" as you could call it, with their subordinates. There are plenty of managers who find the work of their subordinates beneath them and do nothing to help out.
  15. Dollywood has sold the Engine that has sat on the parkway for years: https://www.facebook.com/100047356655459/posts/pfbid02ccYykBxeYDmX9Ws9XtTpizrXEYwanCkWGRXoiG5Quq4ycLZKtBYbenqoGqgf4x5Xl/?
  16. The 2026 attraction could be just a new Vekoma train for Woodstock Air Rail. Here is a picture of the train clearance envelope that was sitting out during this past Winterfest:
  17. It was replaced with an all electric replica by Chance Rides: https://www.chancerides.com/electric_cphuntington_train/
  18. It appears the steam locomotive from Knotts Berry Farm will be going on sale soon: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/152nFPQx8K/?
  19. Dollywood unveil’s a new, cheaper, pass for East Tennessees residents called the Volunteer Summer Pass: https://www.dollywood.com/tickets/season-passes/
  20. If that policy is implemented at KI there won't be any seating available to sit and eat at G&G because the people who hang out at Starbucks will just move next door...
  21. Yep, and Six Flags has kept the season pass prices incredibly cheap.
