I'm not sure that the current GM is able to reach high enough to fill the ice bin in the machines above.

I think the new tiered meal plan is kind of smart given that they can set the price point correctly for each guest based on usage. The biggest issue for which I can see is creating confusion and causing backlash is that to the normal passholder who visits maybe 5-8 times a year don't count how many times they have redeemed a meal with their 2026 "unlimited meal plan". Therefor not realizing the 20-meal plan is for them. All they see is when it comes time to renew for 2027, they will think their dining plan price has gone up exponentially. Not realizing all they need is the 20-meal plan. They should probably list on the website a better explanation on who which tiered plan is for. So, like the 20-meal plan is great for those who visit 6-10 times a year and the 30-meal plan is for those who visits 10-15 times. Assuming the average person eats 2-3 meals a visit.

Unless more property’s are sold. I can’t envision Six Flags avoiding bankruptcy at this point. Too little too late to be jacking the prices up to what it is so far for the 2027 season. Not suggesting what they are asking for is wrong per se but doubling the price on add ons is going to be a hard pill to swallow for most folks. This price point should have been achieved by steadily increasing the prices on these add-ons and passes since post-covid when the parks saw a boom. But the past is the past and I hope this works out for them. Considering Legacy SF attempted to jack up their prices only to reverse course doesn't give me much hope that it will.

The merger with Albertsons fell through because of the government that was in charge at the time blocked it. That same government was in charge when the CF, SF merger happened so I don’t think anything would have changed. But honestly the guest experience was already degrading within CF prior to the merge. Zimmer and co’s cheap passes and add-ons with hopes to make up in volume. On-top of the ripple effects from covid, ultimately caused a desperate move such as a merger with SF to be conceived, to begin with. Next year, I think a lot of people when they go to renew will be in shock with, what it appears to be the chain trying to “market correct” the pricing of season passes and add ons. From what I have seen it will be harsh.

As far as I’m concerned Tony’s time as regional PR has been nothing more than a “morning flush”. 💩

ACE hosted an event last year at KI… ERscream.

I’ve been completely disappointed with the ticketed events this year at KI. No Coaster-stock, no Mother’s Day brunch, no ticketed events to replace the aforementioned. I wouldn’t be shocked if the NYE at the international restaurant follows suit. Who knew copying and pasting a ticketed event from the year prior proved to be so difficult. I was looking forward to having Tony Clark as our Regional PR person but so far I’ve been totally disappointed. He, so far has been worse than his predecessor. Both him and his predecessor at KI are/were never around so that hasn’t changed but at least his predecessor put on some ticketed events.

The highest I could find as of recent was Guardian’s of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at Epcot. Attendance for Epcot increased the following year it opened by 19.8%!

I’ve quit riding after I’ve heard about all the restraints coming loose issues..

I want to say the fountain issues became very noticeable during the 2023 season. The pre-merge "lets pad the books" type of cuts. And they haven't recovered since. I don't agree with returning to the old pedestal fountains, those were dated and honestly with the budget cuts the pedestal fountains would likely have issues too.

And this is why I have stated before that a Phantom Theatre revival would not be a good fit in its current location.

Now KI should get one in the old Vortex spot. A Kenton’s Cove Keelboat Canal revival!

This is the second time I've seen Brad Ross's show. The first time being at Carowinds a couple years ago. The first time I watched it at Kings Island a couple of the tricks got botched. One being the hanging glass bottle with "champaign" being poured into it. You could clearly see the line with hook retract back into the bottle. Another being one of the boxes were one the assistants get into the box then vanishes. When she returned you could clearly see the top of her hair when she crawled back into the box. The show wasn't as entertaining from what I remembered from Carowinds. Both of my friends I was with who were also watching it for the first time feel asleep during the show.

I think it’s unrealistic to expect everything to be 100%, 100% of the time. Minor imperfections are always noticeable to those who frequently visit.

It’s not much different than being on a payment plan for the pass and add ons. Breaking up the overall cost of a pass with add ons makes season passes even more affordable than they already are. However, include all season Fast Lane for an additional $1200+ to the overall cost of the pass. Now payment plans become much more attractive. Especially at 0% APR. The confusion and complexity comes into play when they do last minute changes to pass perks and such. But, that’s been going on before this new membership.

Also the edge trim for the stairs are peeling away. Today was my first time riding Phantom Theatre. The ride aspect and the theming within the ride itself felt fresh and new but the queue itself, more or less, got the “landlord special”.

I haven't made my way to the point this season. (I plan on going June 2nd.) But I have heard they removed the brisket from Backbeat BBQ. That was my favorite restaurant and meal when visiting. The brisket was a well-known, fan favorite at CP. It's a shame they removed it due to budget cuts.

There are plenty of choices since about every restaurant serves them: Goblin burgers, Hot Diggity Dog, Jungle Jake’s, Safari Pizza, Santa’s Merry Marketplace, and Wildebeestro… I usually get tenders in the Marketplace because there is A/C. **Holiday World

I think it was an idea, that could have work if planned with the customer in mind. The people in charge of planning these events are more or less out of touch with guests. I reckon, because they don't experience the parks themselves as a guest. I doubt they experience other amusement parks as guest either. I think Kings Island could pull off a similar event such as "Morning Flush". It could be something like this: -Have the event on an early closure day like 7pm. A non-passholder guest who has purchased an event ticket will be granted access to the park at 4pm. (With hopes they purchase a meal before the event starts.) Attendees of the event will be provided a souvenir lanyard which will grant them access to the rides and buffet for ERT. -ERT begins at 7pm onwards. -At 930pm open up Grain and Grill and provide a desert buffet that will last 1 hour. Drinks included for all of ERT. -At 10pm have a Special drone and firework show that is exclusive to the event. -The ERT event ends at 11pm. If they’re feeling generous, midnight.

Yes, the event sold out. Coastermania | Roller Coaster Event | Cedar Point | Event | Cedar Point

**Double post** For comparison’s sake here is what you get attending Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party/purchase/

I don’t believe there has been an announcement for Coastermania ‘26 at CP either.
