You’re wrong about that, Ronny. They would not have been cut from the event if I was still at the park. It’s a collectible for many attendees. And nobody forced them to be cut. That’s being real, Ronny.

They are not. Someone who’s never attended an event in the industry thought they were unnecessary.

They could have put it somewhere else. They chose to go small.

Cedar Point is laying off full-time staff as part of a broad wave of job cuts by Six Flags Entertainment Corp., just as the summer season kicks off at the Ohio amusement park. https://sanduskyregister.com/news/591734/cedar-point-hit-by-layoffs/

Lanyards? They cut lanyards this year.

Yes, and no.

All of the park presidents and GMs across the company were given until May 31.

Jason has had Kings Island and Cedar Point among his parks as the regional general manager. Nothing changes there.

While a Pub Burger does sound good, I’m on my way to Buc-ee’s for a Club Melt.

The person that was at Great America has been working on the media event for the new coaster for the past few months. They’ve been there for construction tours with the media throughout the winter. They have relationships with the media in Chicago. But since you’re the smartest person on this forum, they probably should have contacted you on what to do in this situation.

There won’t be a next communications director at Kings Island any time soon. The position was eliminated last year at the park level. For those attending Coasterstock, be sure to tag the park in your posts and use #Coasterstock so they continue to see the value and want to bring it back next year.

The person four hours away was opening a new roller coaster in Chicago.

Tony has Michigan’s Adventure. Don’t be surprised to see him cover Kings Island.

Grace oversees PR for the Midwest region. Someone else oversees digital marketing for the region.

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is now open daily through August 17! Don’t miss out on the fun—save $5 off tickets at HolidayWorld.com/Save with promo code DON.

Sure, it would be cheaper, but they made the right call having Grace do it.

Elizabeth isn’t PR. She’s social media. She shouldn’t have any worries about Grace coming in today for the media.

Flavors from around the world take stage at Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s Food & Wine Festival. https://themeparksbydon.com/food-flavor-and-festival-spirit-shine-at-busch-gardens-williamsburg/

She may become the point person for the event, but everything should have been in place and ready to go by now.

Yes!

What was once considered an unconventional move has become a signature element of the Holiday World experience. https://themeparksbydon.com/holiday-world-celebrates-25-years-of-free-soft-drinks-a-milestone-in-guest-value/

With Dollywood in the midst of its milestone 40th anniversary season, the park continues to prove why it’s one of America’s most beloved destinations — and why, for me, renewing my season pass is always an easy decision. https://themeparksbydon.com/dollywood-scores-major-wins-in-newsweeks-readers-choice-awards/

Celebrating its 25th anniversary season, Dollywood’s Splash Country remains more than just a water park. It’s a Smoky Mountain tradition where memories are made, one splash at a time. https://themeparksbydon.com/dollywoods-splash-country-celebrates-25-years-of-soaking-up-summer-fun/

Good to see all the positive reviews following Top Thrill 2’s reopening.

Dollywood has opened a new restaurant. It’s can’t-miss for those planning a visit this year. https://themeparksbydon.com/new-wilderness-pass-restaurant-brings-smoky-flavors-and-scenic-charm-to-dollywood/
