I am utterly shocked!

Be careful! Your bosses at KI may not take kindly of you giving clues on how to open the curtain to shed light on what information could be coming

I'm sure someone has ...

But you can literally stow your carryons in the floor of The Bat and Junkyard Coaster. Or at least when I was there last year you could. Why would they the put lockers there?

Really great teaser they released! In reflection, I see the obvious reference to the queue music, the cartoon Maestro, and the cat. The video also focuses in on a BB cutout that says something to the effect of "not dead yet." The radio static reminds me of Mystic Timbers. Any significance with the wind chimes in the transition scene?

Money talks!

I don't either, but with this leadership, nothing is off the table. If they were looking to shed many of the underperforming parks, a major park like Kings Island could be the crown with minor parks like WOF, St. Louis, etc. That would fetch a pretty penny. However, Six Flags would loose a ton of recurring revenue for years down the road. Since the merger, though, it appears they only are focused on the here and now and will not look at long term impacts . Of course, I say this as a casual observer. I don't believe they would jettison one of their stalwart parks.

I've heard urban legends that the "powder keg" wooden barrel at The Beast exit, near the lower queue, is Garbanzo's TNT.

I just want Hilda to sing! As long as she is singing, it isn't over

Oh me, too. But in an age of austerity for six flags, anything would be on the table. As far as the justice league buildings, of course I know that's not likely to ever happen, but stranger things have. As far as PT being in the middle of DC, if they are slashing costs, it's happened in the history of both companies as things evolve...Asian, Italian, American in the German themed building, Cajun food in The French Building, a giant tan garage housing a jungle themed ride in Rivertown, and The Junkyard Coaster in the no man's land between Rivertown and the Arena Formerly Known As Coney Mall. And that's just one park!

I think six flags would want to take control and utilize their ( now) exclusive IP. No company to pay for it, etc. I don't know if PTE came with a new copyright/trademark for the IP or not. If it's never been assigned exclusively to them, who's to say that another operator cannot use it? Or that Mr. Balstrap wouldn't take control of his work and license it out. Think of the scale: all the boo blasters become phantom theater. Knotts replacement of Beary Tales. They let justice league dark rides licensing expire and take PT IP there. I mean, in a like manner, if my banana trees are producing great and plentiful fruit, why would I buy bananas at the Kroger store?

They've also cancelled several Oktoberfest events this year.

They have never, in my memory, listed any reason for delays other than "waiting on a part." They would risk alienating their customer base with political inferences, which they don't need. As far as the bankruptcy, I personally don't see why in the world the federal government would take partial ownership in six flags as they did the two automotive companies. Much much smaller industry and much less of a full time, benefited union type employment base.

Let's give the KI landscape team a shout out! From the webcam, the bed in front of The Royal Fountain has looked great all season. The elephant ears they recently put out look awesome in my opinion.

Also, smoked weed. Especially Kentons Cove Keelboat Canal!

Our new CEO:

They started not washing the walkways in '23 as part of the first year of budget cuts. I think they did it every three or four nights. It was really noticeable during the parade when parents would often remark about how dirty the park has become. Hopefully they are doing it at least once a week this season.
