Kentucky Kingdom
They opened up a grade crossing near Enterprise. That avoids having to use the bridge entirely. Also, the area near Storm Chaser--I'd expect to see development as this is one of the last parts of the old SIX part that was left undeveloped since the park reopened in 2014.

Stealing souvenir cups
As I said above, I would gladly pay for an option to not have a cup, but you still get "free" drinks all season all parks. I'd pay double what the current charge is. Or, they could emulate Kentucky Kingdom and give all season drinks as an incentive for early renewal.

Stealing souvenir cups
I had one stolen at the Tower in 2014. I stopped by Guest Services who gave me enough Snoopy Bux to get a new cup. Since then, every cup I get is decorated with a Sharpie. On a related note: I plan to buy my 2017 all season cup when I make my March visit to Carowinds. This year, I bought the voucher last fall and couldn't use it until May when KI was open and I could make my first visit. I so wish they would have an option to buy an all season drink option with out a cup--I would pay more for this option.

Knott's Berry Farm closes an attraction
After working in a mental health hospital many years ago, I can say that what is probably portrayed in this attraction is probably about as accurate as Urgent Scream is to a real hospital. It was rather distasteful that the original name contained the CA code for the 72 hour court hold, I can see that as a point for mental health advocates.

Soak City Changes
I wonder if any of these shade structures and chairs will come from a water park up north?

New Kentucky Theme Park?
I hate Lexington, but it is a necessary evil. Many people in the eastern part of the Commonwealth depend on Lexington for commerce, employment and financial services.

Kentucky Kingdom
They do have the "Fun Under Construction" signs on this fence. It would seem logical this would be the next area to renovate. I'd also think some waterpark improvements are due, and maybe something done with a flat or two on the entrance side of the park.

Kentucky Kingdom
I had a very good season at KK this year. Looking forward to another one. Was impressed that my 2017 season pass arrived in the mail about a week after I renewed online.

Cedar Point 2016 Talk
I maintain that a "conversion" is often better than a demolition. Not always, but often. For example, and this is purely hypothetical, I have ridden MS three times. Not a bad ride, but it was kind of boring and rough in spots. The park can completely demolish it and build a new coaster in the place of it, the park can leave the space undeveloped until the time is right to put something new in, or it can take the structure of MS and modify it. Unless the structure is deficient, I would like to see this happen. It is impressive on the skyline and most conversions have been well received.

SIX 2017
There was no mention of processing timelines on the pass or the parking. The only caveat was the free Christmas ticket. It seems to good to be true, and I am a SIX virgin.

SIX 2017
Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I have a question about SIX season passes: I bought a pass online, what seems to be the equivalent of a FUN Platinum pass (All US SIX Parks, free parking) online with SFOG as my home SIX park. It was only $51.99 +tax/fees so around $60 total. I won't be able to process until the Christmas event starts. I called to confirm that I wouldn't loose my other SIX benefits or parking pass and was told no. The only benefit I will loose is not getting a free Christmas ticket for a friend by not processing by 9-26. Am I totally misunderstanding, or did I get the park deal of the year?

Kentucky Kingdom
I saw that post earlier and it had me curious. I had read yesterday about KK winning a Rennaissance Award. So I Googled it. See page 28 of this PDF: http://goldenticketawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2016-GTA-issue_complete.pdf

Question about Knott's Fried Chicken.
I prefer chicken fried in a cast iron skillet. While I can't replicate my grandmother's chicken, I try. KFC is not worth the grease it's fried in, Lee's Famous Recipe is much superior.

Cedar Fair reports record results through Labor Day
Sounds like a great year so far for Cedar Fair. I had to laugh to myself, however--they can report the results through Labor Day four days expost facto, but they do such silly things like try to charge .25 for a refill on a season long refill cup.

Kings Island 2016 Discussion Thread
He was going to take ride #14201, but the ride broke. It'll be a while until he can go back to riding as the park is closed for private events. (Unless he can go to private events.)

Kings Island 2016 Discussion Thread
I had one my best ever days at the park yesterday. Very short visit, and only rode The Beast--twice. While in line for Diamondback, it went down, and stayed down. I was in line with Gary Coleman, and we finally were able to connect. Really nice guy. Ride associates were walking the diminishing line with updates. Was just a really relaxing time talking with them and Gary.

Do we have Tower Eyes yet?

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

Kentucky Kingdom
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

Kentucky Kingdom
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.

Kentucky Kingdom
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.

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

Kings Island 2016 Discussion Thread
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.
