My heart weeps for the two redbud trees they planted in the deforested grassy area in front of AE last year. I sincerely hope they were relocated elsewhere.

I find it amusing that KI is playing catch-up to KK: Prod johns flying machine, frog hoppers. Then ki gets their flying eagles substitute and rocket bouncer . Storm Chaser...medium sized coaster...then ki gets Mystic Timbers. (Both are mid sized coasters, but ki followed kks lead) Onion, then KI got Orion ..or do I have this backwards? Scream Extreme ...sol spin.

It is very possible to stain existing concrete.

Scooby and Shaggy got a lifetime deal for an apartment for all the work they did in the 70s and 80s. Velma, Fred and Daphne can no longer visit as they all have arthritic knees. Maybe if you are ever so lucky, on a clear, low humidity day, you can hear Scoob saying "Rook, Raggy at all the cars coming in on Western Woah Woad!"

Thank you! I've edited my post. Appreciate it!

If they really wanted to be authentic, they should have done a thatched roof. I mean if I'm thinking Mayan jungle, I'm thinking thatched roof.

Carowinds, Kings Dominion and Knott's do it. Where there is a will, there is a way. In this case, the park or corporate would need to greatly expand the park services team and hire more people to staff the event. Probably not likely. But then again, people said Winterfest would never return. People said there would never be Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland. People said Cedar Fair would never have a winter event in Sandusky. All of these have been big hits and I anticipate the Sawmill Creek event will grow. My, my my. What exciting times we live in!

I wonder what's going to replace Diamondback in about 15 years?

I'll be a high sock guy for The Beast socks!!!!

At work this morning and glanced at webcams. Dreary looking day and I counted 10 people on all three! Hope the weather breaks and everyone can enjoy a low crowd day.

I'll see for myself in a couple of weeks, but it looks like this will be a home run. I wish they had chosen a different surface for the Mercado (beirgarten) patio, from the pictures it looks like plain concrete. I hope they put themed garbage cans in. Everyone, enjoy the park today!

@TombRaiderFTW and @disco2000...fixed. sorry!

And so it begins... Meal Plan | Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay

Somehow, the leftover skyline chili ended up in New Jersey instead of the prestige pass holder coral! https://www.azfamily.com/2023/05/04/hundreds-pounds-pasta-mysteriously-dumped-next-creek/

It seems simple to me. You scan in, they give you your beverage of choice. You scan out ànd you can only take your bottled drink if it's been open. You have some light snacks available. You get your one use wristband for Fast Lane the first time you scan in. That wristband is for the pass holder only, even if they have a Fast Lane for the day or year. Also, if you have platinum level prestige pass, you should at a minimum, get preferred parking and a skip the line pass at other cf parks. Lounge chairs f they have it. I haven't seen the new lounge, but from the looks of the photos, it appears last year's lounge was more shaded and upscale. This years building looks more appropriate for Rivertown than whatever this area will be considered. But they will get a great spot for the parades.

@Taylor.B03I like your concept, but the issue would be with exiting the park. This would restrict movement out of the park, especially at higher demand times.

Again, we are less than ten days into the season...you can't blink a permanent solution into place.

I have heard drones are coming back from internet chatter but I wouldn't be disappointed if they don't as the 50th was a special occasion. I think they announced it last year as part of their 50th hype, but other than generic marketing references and pa announcements, I don't recall an announcement about the show. It drones come back, I want them to have cameras.

My post was in jest. And I would be fine with an increase in pass price and food pass price.

I wonder if the meal plan holders should plan a class action suit?

It's a non stop fright...only at Kings Island.

My hot take is that Pipeline Paradise will be retired before Soak City opens for the 2023 season.

It's amazing to me that a child can be expelled from school for drawing a crude gun or holding their hand in the shape of a gun, but shooting dark rides are still in parks. Being the safe, family oriented chain, Cedar Fair should remove this aspect of their dark rides.

But recaR ran for what...25 years or something? Wasn't the reason given was that it was put forwards again to keep operations consistent among all Cedar Fair parks? I never rode it backwards and wouldn't if they offered it again.
