Go thru Canada. Much cheaper, at least it has been for me.

Lightning Rod at Dollywood Update
When I rode LR, the launch didn't really feel like a launch. It kind of felt like a slower Millennium Force.

Overhauling Backlot Stunt Coaster?
The junkyard coaster needs a complete redo or tear out. Get rid of the shipping containers, junk cars, billboards, rip-rap. I don't think the hardware needs anything, maybe harken back to the roots of Les Taxis or Ohio Overland Livery and put new fiberglass shells on the train and take a wild ride in a antique auto. But the area is ugly as is while it's a decent ride. Landscape landscape landscape!

They are the ones that were overbooked at St. Michelle.

Well, we have been bamboozled yet again by the silly poll and no boo necklaces!

Haunt Constructive Criticisms
Just a rumor but it makes sense with the way Cedar Fair has cut the budget this year...lots less scareactors this year are going to be employed. So the event is continuing to spiral downhill IMHO. At this point, just have Oktoberfest weekends and put lederhosen on the employees and sell brats and let haunt die it's miserable death.

Expanding the Graveyard underneath Banshee.
When I ride Banshee, besides the zero g stall, I'm focusing on not throwing up.

Expanding the Graveyard underneath Banshee.
Would most riders even see gravestones back there?

Season Pass 2024 Price Increase
Typically, they do with a fee. However, if it was used in 2022 for the "get the rest of '22 free with a 2023 pass" promo, they won't.

2005 Winterfest Map
Toboggan in front of WindSeeker. Ice carvers in the junkyard plaza. But you loose the chicken Shack by closing Action Zone.

How much longer for Congo Falls?
Better watch out, your idea could be presented on John Mattress's segment, "Don't Waste Your Money!"

KI Questions that keep you up at night
I think, if I remember correctly, that Jeff Gramke was asked this at Coasterstock and he said it was happenstance. Could be wrong though, there was so much in depth information that day. Great question, I wondered that for years.

KI Comms
I know I'm usually critical of current KI comms, but I do give due credit. Fun Fact Friday is a great thing they are doing. The music is catchy, the facts are interesting (in spite of some errors) and it's engaging. I like that they end with something to the affect of " see you next week!" I do find that I look forward to seeing it. I hope they continue this and other campaigns like it.

KI Questions that keep you up at night
It's 1242 and I wonder why people vote for an event before it starts. And if people vote for ki, specifically, as a top rated park for haunt, when the event crumbles and decays each year, what motivation does corporate have to fund it?

Hilda Bovine is too classy for such a thing as that!

KI Questions that keep you up at night
It's 1032 am and I'm not asleep... Why doesn't the park keep The Royal Fountain clean from all the goose poop?

Cedar Fair in the 2030s?
If a woodie is relocated, do they just take the plc, chain, sprockets, etc and build new structure with the original blueprints? Ok do they literally move the bents and track? I know there have been relocation of Woodies but I never considered the process.

I say "Diamond" you say "back!" @SonofBaconator says "Cedar" @disco2000 says "Fair!"

If my name was The Great Garbanzo, I could say that my most famous line is " I risk my life for your love!" Sorry, couldn't resist that opportunity to bring in some PTE!

I'd rather hear the perspective on using cranes at Cedar Point.

Reimagining the front gate at Kings Island.
But why? If anything, remove the vinyl advertisements, add appropriate European accents (shingles) and bring the flags back. Put in pavers, renovate or remove the ticket building and relandscape the berms. Oh, and add the ornate lamps back. Update to the past, not to a post modern wasteland that's not fitting to Kings Island.
