It’s the van outside FOF.

Another long lost proposed Kings Island Wooden coaster!

People have begun to expect those companies’ advertisements on frequent basis.
-
I think you are right! Good catch.
-
I think posts will be like this until things return to normal.
-
True, but those 20 were along I75 and Norwood Lateral. I’m assuming there were definitely more in the region.
-
I saw at least 20, and the ones I saw most often were up for four months. Some estimates I’ve seen for billboards are 2k a month per board.

Radio adverts, print ad, TV Spots, and billboards. It was an hypothetical question. Kentucky Kingdom spent a fortune 4 years ago for billboards along Norwood Lateral.

It’s not criticism. The world’s been changed, hence marketing practices will be different. Why should the park spend $1 million dollars to promote something in the middle of a disaster? Any money spent then would simply lead to zero change in attendance. If you ever want to see how construction, manufacturing is done, I highly recommend joining an engineering club at high school or college. One can learn a lot from these clubs.

To be fair, Mystic Timbers is a totally different ride and thus marketed as such. Most of the future updates will be about park information, post COVID-19.
-
The marketing they did stopped at the same time the pandemic shutdowns started to occur. At that point there was some in the industry who thought the season would be lost (check out AttractionPros podcast at that time). Now since stuff is beginning to reopen in a modified world, where new information is now being posted about by the parks.
-
I think they are, as long as they are updated. Look at the Haunted Mansion and POTC, two quality dark rides, periodically updated, are still crowd favorites.
-
Well, KI isn’t a sports team, the marketing of each business is a completely different field. In fact when KI reopens, I am willing to bet that more of the stuff released by the park will be related to park information rather than Orion.
-
You market once a ride opens, as guests are able to ride it.
-
Also, it’s important to note, we’re coming off of one of the worst pandemics in modern history. Why would the park promote something that people may have not been able to ride due to the severity of the pandemic?
-
However, Orion is so large, the ride will practically market itself. The size of the ride will cause the ride to be widely talked about.
-
It isn’t the park’s responsibility for them to provide info to enthusiasts. The reason why the people broke park policy is because they have little respect for the park or the community.

From when went on Racer, it seems to be smoother closer towards the rear of the train. -
The Beetle didn’t slam into the brakes as the final drop was heavily trimmed.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks

Lotte World in Korea is now closed. Someone who was positive with COVID-19 got into the park. -
You could say that. They had several at Coney.

You should try it out. The middle is most intense, in my opinion. -
It was similar. Beetle was made by S.D.C, while Wildcat was made by Schwarzkopf.

I’ve been on a few, they’re really rough, but fun. IMO, the roughness can be a bit overwhelming at times.
