    FLASH: SeaWorld To END Orca Breeding, Phase Out Shows

    in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News

    Posted

    I went on the Peta twitter feed and it's quite clear that they aren't finished with Seaworld yet. They won't be satisfied until they have freed every animal chain wide.

     

    It will be interesting to see how Seaworld will adapt and change over the next couple of years. 

     

    PETA will never be done.  I think it's interesting to point out how much of an opportunity Blackfish was for them to throw hate against SeaWorld.  PETA is against ALL animals in captivity.  They simply used this incident as fuel to start a fire with the major marine life "zoo" (i.e. SeaWorld).  The move on SeaWorld's part was sure a smart decision, it just proves that public opinion can change a company.  Especially a company that relies on people's loyalty to come back to its parks.

    Maybe Firehawk's on-ride photo is having the same fate of its next-door neighbor...

     

    While I hate to think this, I can't tell you how many times I rode Firehawk last season and the photo booth was either a) not staffed, or B) the monitors were broken and staff were telling people that it would be fixed "soon".  I think all on-ride photos are really cool and I don't think they should be getting rid of them as quickly as they are.

     

    Hopefully the on-ride photo for Firehawk will still be there, maybe it's just not a FunPix location for whatever reason.

    Wanted to clarify:  The reason Chick-Fil-A and Panda are so quick is probably because they are staffed by CFA and Panda themselves.  They have their own name tags, that is, the ones not adorned with the Kings Island logo in either a white, blue, or yellow strip of plastic.  All other food service locations in the park are staffed by Kings Island's food department.  The only food service restaurant that KI seems to be operating correctly is RHoF Grille.  I concur with the other's that KI needs to fix this issue.

     

    Howwweevvveerrrr I really really really want them to keep the wraps.  I know they probably weren't the most popular option.  And I definitely know it took employees forever to make them, but it really is a great healthy option closest to the front entrance of the park.  #SaveTheWraps2016

    Well I'd say that with all of this Rivertown construction, I've realized that one of three things probably will happen.  The Crypt building will either 1) be torn down and the land will be utilized for further construction, 2) be repurposed for a completely new indoor attraction, or 3) kept solely for Halloween Haunt.

     

    Personally, I'd really like to avoid choice 3 if at all possible.  The construction happenings around Rivertown has made me thirst for some new attractions in that area.

    No wraps?? That was my favorite!!! I would always use that as a "healthier" option for my lunch as I passed Kings Island on Kings Island Drive.  Run to Kings Island, grab some lunch right inside the front gate with my dining plan, then leave and go about my day.

    Cedar Fair Entertainment Company chooses what parks they want to be "destinations", carefully? A lot of times, it seems, that gigas tend to increase a park's overall attendance; oftentimes with visitors from across the country (see Fury 325)
