Do we have Tower Eyes yet?

^Gotcha. I did not watch the industry back then.

This is the same park that makes announcements at midnight during the middle of the week, in fall. We're not talking about the brightest PR people here. Actually, Storm Chaser was announced in June, not the fall.Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I went last year to the SF and KK. I spent more time at KK than the SF, the food was better at KK. I did enjoy the exhibits, but that was about it.

The only teasing I saw at the park this year was some signs on the fence by the old Dragster site that said "Caution: Fun Under Contruction." (or something similiar). I'd expect to see some overall park improvents, maybe a new flat or waterpark attraction and perhaps a removal or two of some of the oldest SIX era attractions that are approaching EOL.

I'd like to add to the chorus of malem. Very level-headed, cordial online and in person, and a great face for KIC.

I totally agree! I am not much of a Haunt fan, because the wait times are ridiculous. However, last year, I went up on the last Saturday night of Haunt. I got off work at 8pm, drove and checked into the Shaker Inn and went to KI at about 10:30pm. There was a steady light rain coming down and the park was emptying as I went in. Was able to get several The Beast and Diamondback rides in as well as Urgent Scare and Slaughterhouse, both of which were no lines! I am hoping for a repeat of that this year.

I'm not aware if there is a prepaid discount. I rarely do Fast Lane passes and I just wait to see how crowded it is. If you decide to buy them, (it may be busy because of the current discount/free promotions) and if you have a gold or platinum pass, ask if you get a discount. I have never had a discount at KI but at CP last week I got FLP FOR THE FL price. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I've wanted to eat at Louie's Fresh Market, but it's been closed for food every visit. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

That is great news! That is the only reason I did not get Funpix this year, I could only use it at KI.

What is the source for this? I did notice Funpix season pass was $5 more for 2017 on the KI website.

Either that, or they did and chose not to follow what was asked.

Since about mid June, I've had good to excellent food service except at Blue Ice Cream on 7-28. Workers actually took initiative to speed service, smiled, and the food was good. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No, I have never spotted a King in Mason, but I do see Royalty every time I visit. An Island? Not in the traditional sense of the word.

Dollywood has their coasters opened during their Christmas event. Maybe they go to one train operations to allow for winter rehab. The off season is much shorter there, too. I guess it all depends on weather and how big of scale the park is going to have for Winterfest. I'd rather they start small-ish and build up and make it a sustainable event for years to come. Then again, they may be showcasing what the park can do for potential buyers...oh wait...

To note: In my wanderings around Cedar Point for 1.5 days this trip and 2 days earlier this year: I did not see any cedar trees! I saw some arborvitae, but no actual cedar trees.

Nice Bonus at CP:. Crowded as heck up here so I opted for FLP. They asked for a pass and I got $20 off the price listed. Nice job, CP! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I figured Winterfest would make a return when I saw the bows were left on the Emporium after Christmas in July! Never been to Winterfest! This may sound dumb, but is it coming this year or next year?? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No, I'll be heading back down this way. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I got soaked on my Diamondback Zen ride this morning. Eating before heading to Cedar Point. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I've had a The Beast zen ride before in the front seat, at night. I don't normally scream on Coasters unless I want to act silly with friends, but I did today on my Vortex zen ride. It just seemed appropriate, and even though I was in 7-1, it was really rough, probably because I was the only weight in the train. I'm so glad I decided last year to start re-riding Vortex. I'm glad it's not sinking.

An email was sent to everyone who registered for the event with information on where to meet for the behind-the-scenes opportunities. Park admission and a valid ID card was all that was required for this event. Thanks, Don. The post wasn't mean as a slam to KI staff--just a little venting for some uneeded stress. (Being at The Beast at 2;40 and being told I'd have to go to HR to check in for a lanyard which would have caused me to miss The Beast tour got me a little stressed!) Thanks for another quality event. The tour and the last rides of the night were wonderful.

I've had great food service today at IS Skyline and the Chinese place in Festhaus. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
