There ya go! I knew you had it in you. Will it be an entertainment venue as well, like the Red Garter at CP, with the women who have paint on their face and flowers in their hair? ( To loosely quote lora ingalls).

Will Schlitterbahn ( either Six Flags or Enchanted) have to rebrand? Or do you think the name will stay on both properties? I've never been, but it seems to me that the Schlitterbahn name could be valuable. They paid around 270 million for both of them if I remember correctly and it was in 2019. That's approximately $332 million today. Either the retained water park is worth a whole lot of money or the company way overpaid for two water parks.

Looks like the silver pass has returned.

Everything will stay the same this year, except they don't have a plan for add ons once the parks are divested, or so it seems. I saw that they were offering a $10 credit for meal plans? And they pulled the "plans are subject to change" mantra.

It looks great, but.... 1. That would be a nightmare for traffic on KI drive. Would probably want to route resort traffic on Western Row Road. 2. Would need more parking. 3. I'm sure Mason would want a much further setback. Your ideas have come such a long way over the years. I know you used AI, but I think this one is the best yet. But I have to ask: will it include a saloon or bar?

That's most of the customer base at KI!

^ I have to have my phone all the time as it's a medical device. But there are times I wish I was freed from it. This new Fast Lane system forces the phone, as you said...most people are addicted to their phones of course, so it won't be that big of a deal. At least it's on a device that (most) already carry with them. In the big picture, it doesn't really affect me because I typically go when I know it's supposed to be slower, and I'm not into marathoning rides anymore...and my visits to the parks has dropped precipitously as I've been engrossed in other hobbies. Is it bad that after 3-4 hours at KI, I'm bored and ready to drive three hours home lol

I used the Flash Pass at Magic Mountain several years ago. It was a clunky device you had to carry around and it was not user friendly. It seems FUN is adapting too much of legacy SIX and making it more difficult to do business with customers.

Inpukeago, Delirium, zephyr, wind chaser, scrambler, troika, the barrels, and that thing in front of Adventure Express that I can't remember the name of.

And here we are, years later, with a Cincinnati themed coaster!

Why mess with a layout that has worked well, and likely exceeded any expectations that were laid for nearly 50 years?

^dont forget that they asked about adding on the street. Lol

^This appears to be a new ride, not the Florida ride.

Thank you. From recollection of around 2018 and prior I never recall seeing the arches barricaded at KI. To me it looks trashy like some of the legacy six flags parks Ive been to. I agree that Canada has the most pleasing appearance of the three, but that bridge is a pain to cross. KD's version is surpassed by ours with our refined look with the decorative white pilasters vs KD's fence. However, this is subjective.

I couldn't find a specific topic so I started this. Admin, if there is one, please merge. I've often wondered: when you look at The Royal Fountain from the entry plaza, you can see the pumphouse below The Royal Bandstand. There are three arches facing the fountain, but only one is open, on the right. Do the other arches open? Is it functional or decorative? If decorative, why not open all three?

Maybe the could add more terlets and face them to the wall with a urinal style divider. It would be so avant guarde to have open air seats!

I'll say it again...the perfect place for a larger climate controlled eatery is the Killmart plot. The Area Formerly Known As Coney Mall needs sheltered dining, even though PukeBox Diner and Coney BBQ are close. It would close the loop, so to say, with sheltered dining and have fantastic views of KMAA and The Racer, and even Onion. They could remove the backstage junk and clean that area up.

But why? Was the Mall at Coney Island themed in three sections? I propose to take The Vortex and walk plots and add them to rivertown. The area from the tower to the junkyard coaster should be annexed by international street with the Junkyard Coaster removed, and lush landscaping with classic flats, somewhere Granny and Pappy could spend time with their kids and grandkids.

^True, but with being a company that offers passes across the continent, they already have that problem. Passes at over Georgia might be $79 while KI might be $129. My point was about ticket add ons, specifically the daily dining.

On a different tangent...I often wonder why Six Flags doesn't market adjust for California? If costs are significantly higher to operate there ( labor, fuel, taxes etc) shouldn't a daily meal plan reflect this? Why is it the same price there as it is, in say, Oklahoma, where operating costs will be much lower? ( I don't know the price in Oklahoma or if it's even offered, just using it as a for instance)

^^They have lift hill audio theming already. I wonder why they don't use it?

I've wondered if was soap residue or Serratia marcescens. Either one is disgusting. They need to change up the cleaning products they use.

It's one of the air conditioned and less smelly bathrooms. I'm still salty that they replaced the counters throughout the park that used to be rocks under polyurethane. That was original and something I remembered from when I was a kid. On another note, has anyone ever paid attention to the pink slime that grows in the white sinks?

@brenthodge, good to see you. It's been a while.

Too much skyline, or too much Panda Express?
