Ed Hart has said he won't have a launched coaster. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

4/21/18: 15,414 steps at KI. 7.3 miles. Not too shabby for 1500-2230!

I was very dismayed to see the removal of the ginko trees in the former smoking ring in the area formerly known as Coney Mall. The new maple trees look nice though. The ginkos were probably past their serviceable life and the fruit did smell terrible. Just sad to see them gone since they had been in the park since 1972, and if I am not mistaken, were transplanted from Coney Island. (correct me if I am wrong.)

I loved the Rivertown music! I am very happy with the changes the park is making. I've never been more optimistic about the future of our park!

Thanks, Don! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Can you buy Coasterstock tickets at the park or is it online only? I'm a terrific procrastinator. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'm esctatic about good music on International Street! It made my season last year. Excited to hear Rivertown's soundtrack tomorrow! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I am excited about KK being reopened. It appears that they have done well. They have a great coaster collection, a good combination of flat rides and a good water park (or so I have been told.) If they continue to carefully build out the park they should be successful for a long time.

Park officials have stated at enthusiast events that additional land is available to KK from the fair board and the height restriction would allow for a hyper in that location.

I'm hoping that Cedar Fair has changed meat patty supplier. Or at least product. The last three years, the patty, even after cooking, had the appearance of a raw chub of meat, with the extruded texture. The taste, in my experience was not good at all. This was noticed at KI, CP, KD and Knotts.

I've got my "ticket" secured for April 30th!

Did Eurythmics ever perform at Timberwolf? My favorite all time band; IIRC it caused a big fight with my parents because my friends parents invited me to go to KI with him and to see the concert, but my parents didn't want me to go a "rock concert." (I was 14 at the time.)

I've found that later in the season (June), they are more willing to accommodate special requests: At the Chicken Shack, I have asked for no fries and a piece of bread instead and they do that. Last year I asked for a coney instead of fries at IS SL and they had no problem with that. The year before, I did the opposite (when fries were not on the menu for the meal plan.) My niece wanted fries. They did it then too. I am ok with portion sizes being smaller on most meals because I usually end of tossing food when it is just me there with no niece or other family.

My goal is to be a little more social. I am an extrovert by nature, but my job drains me so parks have been a good way to blend in. Ive enjoyed KIC friends at Winter fest, I want to continue that over the 2018 season. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

If you feed the troll, it will just keep coming back for more.

This is the last Friday night until September that people will not be riding coasters, eating food, hanging out on International Street at Kings Island!

I had never been to KD before they celebrated their anniversary, but it seems like they really went all out to bring back the charm. Would be great if KI did something similar for the 50th. I think they have been doing some small things for nostalgia sake, I'd like to see them ramp it up.

I'm all for a GiGa, but can't we enjoy Mystic Timbers before we move on to the next thing?

I'd like the concept to remain the same, but would not be opposed to changes in video, maybe differing props etc.

I hope they don't replace the berm. Why block the view of the Royal Fountain? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I can get behind that statement. I'd like to see more options at RHOFG, and (hopefully) a return of the IR. Beyond that, I would like to see the park address the long term problem of staffing in food service. Overhire, overtrain and focus on the basics: QSC&V. IS Skyline should never look like a food fight broke out. The park has had 45 years to predict busy days; staff more cashiers and have both sides of the eateries open. Update the POS system across the chain. Have supervisors actually train and develop and discipline (egads) rather be besties. But hydrocarbons are in most foods--hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. What are petro chemicals? Oil, diesel, gasoline? Are they putting this into the blue ice cream or M&Ms and Skittles? I'm sorry your son has to deal with this. That's got to be tough.

What specifically, is the toxic chemical in blue hot chocolate and blue ice cream? How much would one have to consume to cause damage? I love the blue ice cream, but I may have 2 or 3 cones a year. Should be worried? I'm more worried about the soy and corn that I do my very best to avoid after the crops have been exposed to multiple doses of glycophosphate.

I don't know the specific make up of blue ice cream or blue hot chocolate. We most likely would be surprised by many of the things we consume. For those who consume dairy, we are consuming a form of cow perspiration, since mammary glands are modified sweat glands. https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/mammary_gland.htm

See my post above, which have been implemented under the direction of Chef Nate.

I'd conjecture it would be ideas like RHOFG, Blue Hot Chocolate, the numerous funnel cakes, the new menu items at Hanks, the cinnamon bread, the various food festivals, the Island Smokehouse, the IS buffet etc. The KI staples and chains are probably not part of his scope of practice. I'd also say the CF parks are looking to book more corporate and niche events and catered food might be a big part of that.
