  1. Please purchase a Winterfest Wonder Wand if you'd like to enjoy the music. Each train car needs at least 5 activated wands to trigger the event, per number.
  2. Exactly, if you discover a hack, keep it to yourself, and milk every living penny you can get out of it for as long as possible so it takes the company longer to catch on and you get more value out of your money. Remember; Loose lips, sink ships... and by ships I mean anti-corporate endeavors.
  3. It has always irritated me that a "ride" with the capacity, uniqueness and (what I can recall) popularity of The Action Theater was turned into storage and 1/12 of the year limited audience attraction.
  4. I'd be full support behind some changes to make it so given prices are the out of wallet prices. Everything included (including alignment), taxes, fees, hell even tip. Let the receipt show the breakdown, but if you show me a big number, I'd love for that number to be what comes out of my pocket. As for the actual event, I really enjoy my visits individually to Winterfest, but holy guac does it seem every time I choose to go it is heckin frosty.
  5. Keeping Kings Island separate from the rest of CF Parks since I'm unfamiliar with them. I think it's interesting they are claiming a labor shortage for next year when they haven't begun the process of hiring anyone yet when the forecast is workers looking for jobs has been increasing in the past year. The day cutting I can allow, but what I'd love to see is a few days earmarked as "potentials" for extending the operating season if hiring goes better than expected. The hour cutting doesn't make a ton of sense, I feel late night is the most populated times. I'd like to know what predictive metrics they have to show the hour cuts are going to be worth the risk of scaring away travelers with the chance of it being crowded and now having less time.
  6. It's always sunshine and rainbows until the merged company realizes they don't really need all those things they said they wanted. I'm not sure anyone is excited about this merger except the old rich investors that don't actually use the parks. 2025, the year after this proposal is expected to be closed will be an interesting year in what will be offered and delivered. We seem to have a lot of fun here dumping on CF on their bait and switch processes and it seems SIX is known for being cheap. I'm just hoping my kids will be tall enough to ride all the rides before major changes happen and I have to start telling them we're dropping the memberships.
  7. I'd like to point out that it is in fact called, The Addams Family. Insert joke about ...
  8. New York State I think just passed a law requiring open positions to list pay range. As you say, any job that doesn't say it out in the open are probably embarrassed about the number.
  9. I tried to take my daughter in for haunt Saturday after spending the morning there with the grandmother. I got turned away at the check in because it was "after 6". It was 6:01, I was in line before 6 and got stuck behind what seemed to be a family of 30 needing to get new pictures for their passes. Responses of "get there earlier" aren't very helpful when the tardiness wasn't really due to my own fault to plan as much as delays at every single point by staff. I was legitimately angry and my daughter cried, was a great opening attempt of haunt for this year.
  10. It is a great transitional ride. I only really have two qualms with it; 1 - It is stupid short. 2 - As a transition ride, riders that are finally at the height to ride can't actually see out of the car. I'd like to see them just re-do the theming, which doesn't make sense anymore. Also for a dedicated loading and unloading area, and only 6 cars, the cycle time is HELLA slow. What area is this ride even in really? Is it an odd off-shoot of Coney, or Rivertown? Theming could be redesigned to either a fair/festival style like Coney has, or continue the mysterious spoopy area that Rivertown is kind of turning into.
  11. I think I'm dropping one of my meal plans next year. This year's food offerings have been lackluster.
  12. So to preface this, I live 13 minutes from the park, I go weekly at worst, my daughter and I often go after school, ride two rides, get dinner and leave. For me, it is worth the 400 bucks (200x2) to not wait in line and not have to fight parking at 5pm when I visit. I am probably not the average user however.
  13. They have a new drink plan.
  14. They can't lose out on those half dozen people every year that try to cheat the hand-stamp and get into the park by inconveniencing half a million others
  15. I've started carrying my physical card again for these reasons. Not too mention with the premium parking it's easier for the guards at the post to just see the black prestige card and wave me in without needing to stand up. The cards are just better at scanning than the phone.
  16. My kids are fascinated by Son of Beast, mostly in how people got injured, but also the whole scale of the thing as well.
  17. I got it a couple weeks back and just picked all the onions and peppers off. The sandwich itself was good, though soggy but that I think it part of the sandwich really. The au jus though needs a bit more reducing, it was more beef hinted water instead of beef concentrated water
  18. When is the last time you saw the Mystic Timbers shed use the black light? I was thinking about this last time I rode with my daughter, I haven't seen the black light since maybe the second year of operation?
  19. You mean the same 5 beats on a 10 second loop? Also as other have mentioned, they really need some thematic old sails put up as a canopy for shade.
  20. I mean if we are still going on about this, I still think Polaris was the better name choice, and the lift hill should have pointed at the North Star. They already themed the thing to be some kind of add-on to Outer Limits and Aliens, they could have used the Polaris system as the origination point for the spaceship.
  21. I noticed when getting my prestige FotL passes so the Diamondback store they rang up at 20 dollars single use fast pass.
  22. I shelled out for the bigger tasting card last time and it was worth it for me. I'll probably do the same this year. Maybe a nice park perk for extra tastings?
