Missouri Jane is up to some mischief with the fountains and clock. Tired of scaring people at WWC.

Are you going to BGW? Pantheon is a much superior ride to Pantheria. But the best ride at BGW is Verbolten.

ACERs are generally understanding and quiet about such things. If they get too loud, their membership could be revoked. I've never seen it happen but have heard about it.

I think there is. Tower Topics episode about it.

I thought maybe you were thinking of getting engaged at the park.

Is there something you're not telling us?

We are now six flags. They have opened coasters and flats well into the summer season of I remember correctly, and it's the rule not the exception. Maybe it costs less to do less off season work ( winter work in cooler climates)??? The "Tonka Mighty Stomper" water coaster is listed as ERT for Coasterstock, no? If it's not open that certainly won't bode well for the adorable and predictable spoiled enthusiasts.

Maybe this will turn into something semi-permanent...have another festooned structure across the way in the dead space between the pavement and the International Showplace.

What do they do with the leftover food at the end of the night? I was at Larissa's in Riverside one night near closing and was the only one there ..warmer was loaded with slices and they were cranking more in the back. Same with coney BBQ one time, but they literally loaded my plate down and offered as many sides as I wanted.

The ad is constantly taking up half of my mobile screen and I have a Pixel 9 XL Pro, so that's a pretty big ad! @IndyGuy4KI I know kic has bills to pay, but is there a way to make this less intrusive?

My fear of spreading my protein over a radius or ending up in first aid is my framework for not riding. Whatever Kentucky Kingdom's version of WindSeeker is put an end to my day at the park. I left and had to take to a dark, cold AC bed at a relative's home in Louisville:)

Never have, never will.

They may just do another festival... instead of Brews and BBQ, with the direction it's been going, they could do Booze and BBQ! For Rivertown, they could finally build the saloon that @Hawaiian Coasters 325has discussed and do a series...saloon Sunday, Margarita Monday, Tequila Tuesday, Wegovy Wednesday, (Long Island Iced Tea) Thursday, Fireball Friday and Sloshed Saturday!

^being a privately owned company has it's advantages.

Wow that's some news. Hopefully it's not biting off more than they can chew.

I hope this rumor never happens. The entry plaza hardware is great as it is and was specifically designed for that "wow" moment as you enter the park. The plaza does need cosmetic work as we have lost the charm over the years. Most of that would be very easy and cost effective, such as new roofing, adding flags back to the front of the building, etc. They could take a nod from KD--as saccharine as their plaza is, the pavers look really great. Enhance the landscaping with flowers and maybe even place the classic KI logo on the berm.

How about an unknown coaster type ( anything but a spinning coaster!) that spreads across the chain like Batman: The Ride did? Let's say S&S perfects the Axis coaster. Could you see that in the majority of the Six Flags chain?

Esi-SFL Michelle-CFL D.-CFL Enrique-SFL The four who are leaving the board are weighted equally between the legacy boards. In that sense, the disturbance in the force shall not be maximized towards either legacy. But the four newbies...will they steer one way or the other? Will they be an in for a spin off or sell off to private equity down the road?

Has Kings Island or any legacy CF or SF made a statement about the alternate access program in the past?

I thought only Tower Topics could promote their brand on KIC?

I recently binge watched Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager. I was feeling nostalgic and wrote a journal entry to remember my times I went to Star Trek: The Experience. I am going to share that here, along with a decent YouTube video I found. Did anyone else here get to experience this? I'm not a Trekkie, but a fan. It's hard to believe that the same company that presented this pretty much destroyed the OG vision of the Taft Parks. To be transparent, I used Grammarly for edit and AI suggestions. My Reflection on ST:TE at the Las Vegas Hilton For a glorious, warp-speed moment in time, Las Vegas wasn't just about Elvis impersonators and slot machines. It was about starships, phasers, and the final frontier. I'm talking, of course, about Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. Stepping into the attraction was like entering a temporal anomaly. Before you even got to the "experience" itself, you wandered through a museum, a curated collection of Star Trek props, costumes, and set pieces. It was a fascinating glimpse into the show's history, a tangible reminder of the fantastical worlds that had captured our imaginations. Then came the "pre-show," a delightfully cheesy affair. Actors, playing enthusiastic but slightly off-kilter Star Trek re-enactors, guided you through a series of "exhibits." Their performances were intentionally over-the-top and campy, a knowing wink to the fandom, setting the stage for the immersion to come. You were, in essence, watching a low-budget, fan-made Star Trek presentation. And then, just as you were settling into the campy vibe, the magic happened. You "disappeared into the future." Suddenly, you were no longer a spectator. You were a participant, a time traveler on a critical mission. You were beamed aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, the iconic starship from "The Next Generation." The sets were incredibly detailed, from the familiar corridors to the imposing bridge. You walked those hallowed hallways, feeling the weight of Starfleet history. On the bridge, you received briefings from Captain Picard, Number One, and Geordi La Forge. They barked orders, assigned tasks, and made you feel like a vital part of the Star Trek storyline. The journey continued with a ride in a turbo lift, descending to Shuttle Bay 1. You boarded a shuttle, your mission: return to your own time. But, of course, things never go smoothly when time travel is involved. You entered a nebula to escape the Klingons, who were charged with destroying the time travelers, of whom one is a direct ancestor of Jean Luc Picard. They eliminate the ancestor, they change the future. You see some sort of alien life form in the nebula before being thrust through a temporal rift, a dizzying visual spectacle, and emerged back over Las Vegas. But this wasn't the Vegas you left behind. It was the stuff of magic because you were still being chased by the Klingons in their Bird-of-Prey, sleek and menacing, pursuing your shuttle through the skies above the neon-lit cityscape. You weaved and dodged, iconic Vegas landmarks flashing by a surreal backdrop to the interstellar chase. The climax was a dramatic crash landing into the Las Vegas Hilton itself, with the Klingon ship destroyed in the process. The mission was complete. Picard, in voice only, congratulated you on your success but sternly reminded you of the Prime Directive: don't reveal what you've seen or done, lest you disrupt the timeline. As you exited the "experience," the illusion continued. TV screens displayed local news reports, complete with grainy footage and breathless commentary, about UFO sightings over the Las Vegas Strip. It was a clever touch, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Finally, you emerged into Quark's Bar, a bustling hive of alien activity. Klingons grumbled over drinks, Ferengi schemed at tables, and other familiar Star Trek species mingled with the crowd. The atmosphere was electric, a perfect coda to the immersive journey. The Romulan Ale was pretty tasty! Beyond the Vegas Strip: A Missed Opportunity? Star Trek: The Experience wasn't just a fun diversion; it was a powerful demonstration of what Paramount could achieve in the amusement industry. It showcased a level of immersive storytelling and themed environment design that was truly groundbreaking. It was a testament to the potential for creating truly transformative experiences. And it begs the question: why didn't this level of immersive theming trickle down into the Paramount Parks? Imagine Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Great America, Canada's Wonderland, and Carowinds transformed into immersive hubs of Paramount's vast intellectual property. Imagine stepping into a Star Trek starbase, exploring a "Mission: Impossible" training facility, or venturing into a "Wayne's World" concert. Sadly, Paramount Parks, by and large, did not fully realize their potential. While some properties were integrated, the parks never achieved the level of immersive, cohesive theming that Star Trek: The Experience demonstrated. The opportunity to create truly unique and captivating theme park experiences was largely missed. Star Trek: The Experience was a glimpse of what could have been, a blueprint for a new era of themed entertainment. It was a testament to the enduring power of the franchise and a reminder of the magic that can happen when imagination meets technology. Sadly, the experience closed its doors in 2008, but for those who were lucky enough to experience it, the memories remain, as vibrant and compelling as ever. It was a truly unique and unforgettable slice of Las Vegas history, and a lost opportunity for the wider world of theme parks. Sadly, ST:TE closed in 2008 after Cedar Fair chose not to continue the attraction. This longer video contains the closing ceremony as well as the second experience that was added a few years into the run--The Borg Encounter:
