The webpage for the NYE celebration is up. No info yet on whether or not they will be offering the party in the international restaurant. https://www.sixflags.com/kingsisland/events/new-years-eve-celebration

It cost roughly $45 dollars to have lightning lane multi pass (Fast Lane) at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom for one time use on each ride. And CP is wanting to charge $100 for essentially the same thing???

Yikes!

I’ve noticed at the bottom you can scroll through the food brands they have within the park and Panda Express was not listed:

Mamba closed at Worlds of Fun due to safety violations: lds-of-fun-roller-coaster-temporarily-shut-down-due-to-safety-violations/?fbclid=IwdGRleANw2ktleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHt6E46pgxlh5y2EmJBYubHTAQg0CswKy54CG2vBNwcrG0Vy-1uArCCJgdbSf_aem_kBdgNuh2SoTMasC369htog

Noon closures this weekend for Haunt. What’s the best place to take a nap at for the all nighter at the park? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1bCm2yBEfH/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The entire bowl was numbered from what I recall. Here are some photos I gathered while attending CS:

Did the park forget where it was located today? I’m confused why they are posting about the KC Chiefs??? **photo edited because fans took exception.**

Adorable as it is predictable.

The land that currently occupies Kings Island would be a great location for a new Bengals Stadium.

Did anyone else catch that Tower Topics a podcast for Kings Island was being sponsored by Kings Island’s competitor??

Goes to show that the haunt mazes don't matter. Ditch the mazes and scare roamers and decorate religiously like Dollywood.

This scheme worked really well for Frische’s

Must have got bored standing around doing nothing in the mazes.

Yep, boo-hoo I think the event would be better without the roaming scare actors. Id much rather see decor on the likes of what Dollywood has during their Harvest Festival. Besides since the parks are now charging for mazes they shouldn’t be giving out free scares. No wonder the lines for them are short.

It’s funny how you have to pay to not be annoyed by the scare actors just to walk freely around the park. However if you annoy the employees like Logan Schell did, you get banned.

There are a lot of benefits by having a centralized food service that @DispatchMaster has mentioned, but the main reason the parks do it is for a better profit margin. An independent vendor is essentially a middle man taking a piece of the profit pie.

I think the main reason they do it is because of the significant savings at the scale that SF operates at, by centralizing its food operations. By eliminating independent vendors they essentially eliminate the middle man. Which gives SF more control over the overall product and what it cost, good and bad.

$77 generic shirt from Disney? Doubtful.

Six Flags agree to extend Peanuts IP till 2030: https://investors.sixflags.com/news/press-releases/press-release-details/2025/Six-Flags-Entertainment-and-Peanuts-Worldwide-Extend-Licensing-Agreement-to-2030/default.aspx

Remember the renderings of Camp Snoopy from the announcement versus what we actually got? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I think a dedicated popcorn store like what Magic Kingdom has in its Main Street Confectionery would sell like hotcakes at KI. You get to pick the popcorn flavor, and select toppings you’d like with it. There is also seasonal flavors and flavors for special events. It’s a perfect take home snack and as I’ve witnessed, line speaks for itself:

I agree, the pricing has not kept up with inflation in regard to season passes and add-ons. I also think they also suffer from too much reliance on analytics and market research. In a lot of ways, I don't think they actually understand their customers or what a customer experiences.
