This seemed true this first two weeks. But it’s sliding downhill fast. At this point I won’t return until zero tolerance policy is adopted and I actually hear that someone is removed from the park or a line for not following policy. (Ie other than warnings, I think guests that don’t care about the policy are starting to realize that there is no consequence for not following it) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I commented above, I agree with you... compliance is dropping and enforcement (especially in the line cue) isn’t keeping up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your review inspired me to make Hanks my dinner tonight and get my “once a season shot”. Got a steak burrito. Tortilla was cold. Rice wasn’t fully cooked (some pieces were hard) Steak was flavorful Guacamole was included and was good. If I returned I’d probably just get those two items in a bowl. It wouldn’t be as filling, but it would be tasty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had my third visit tonight. Providing this observation as a “heads up” for anyone who is on the fence about coming during COVID. Pro: I saw more employees and most security guards confronting those not wearing masks and asking them to put them on correctly. Con: I saw A LOT more guests this visit not wearing masks, removing masks in line, removing masks on rides, leaving their nose uncovered, not wearing a mask at all. (Which is probably why KI staff is more active than one noticed on past visits about confronting those in the midway). Also noticed a lot more masks with the breather port (which I guess protects the wearer, but doesn’t protect everyone else from their exhale... but at least they were probably trying to follow the rules) I’m not sure if the complacency of passholders is starting to come out now that we’re on week 3... or if the opening to non season pass holders are to blame or why it seems so drastically different. But my first two visits I left feeling confident that the park was safe. Now I’m hesitant to come back for visit #4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What they had was fairly discrete, Ie you has to actively seek it. In your example, if the park put out an announcement like that I probably still wouldn’t go, as I’d assume that a huge influx of people would soon be coming (although if true then it would meet the park’s objective of such a statement)... But none of this conversation really answers why the park removed that capability to see available spots left from the online system (and saying “follow the money” isn’t enough of a clue for me).

Some people track it in their phones, just for themselves... But there is nowhere in the app which tracks your meal usage or even tracks the time of your last meal in the park. If you’re ever not sure if it’s been 4 hours solve your last meal, ask the food cash register attendants and scan your pass and tell you when it was last used for a meal (and when it will be available to use for your second meal) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What Is the reason? If they put numbers on, then if there are more people like me, who see that the park is empty some random day, I’m more likely to make a last minute reservation and head over for a few hours in the afternoon. Maybe buy a treat or souvenir. So if I follow the money, having the numbers in the reservation system enables more $$$. Removing them means I’m not going unless a friend goes or a forum confirms its a light attendance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No items at Meteor Canteen are currently included in the dining plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Currently on the KI website it says you can use the dining plan to “enjoy two meals every visit at 20 locations throughout the park“. By my count you can only do this at 16: Chick-fil-A Chicken Shack Coney Bar-B-Que Coney Mall Skyline Chili Festhaus (La Rosa & Grill) Hank's Mexican Grill International Street La Rosa's Juke Box Diner Miami River Brewhouse Panda Express Planet Snoopy Grill Rivertown La Rosa's Rivertown Potato Works Skyline Chili Subway Coney Mall Tom & Chee I’m guessing this is because they didn’t update the website to reflect that the waterpark isn’t open... as I think there are 4 more options there: BBQ place Subway The la Rosa/grill option The little shack by the wave pool with burgers/brats.

I assume the reason they aren’t is related to not communicating to their competition how many people are visiting the park every day... althoughi would have expected the entire chain to go to this. is there a different reason that you think they removed these numbers? My other thought was that they removed the numbers as it’s more complicated now since some “spots” can be taken by general public (where Cedar Point is still only pass holders) I agree that it isn’t helpful. I was considering going over for a few hours tonight, but I only wanted to go if there were a lot of spots left (Ie it wasn’t busy). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. It overlooks the Diamondback splash pond. It’s obviously not air conditioned but has some umbrellas. I don’t like the idea of eating indoors during COVID, so we are outside there today. Just tell them when you arrive that you will be eating outside and they will deliver your food out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my opinion... I’ve ridden all of the North America giga. 1) Fury 2) leviathan 3) millennium force 4) Orion 5) i305 Based on the front row experience only I might move Orion to slightly higher. But the back row was awful. There were just too much Gs and the ride wasn’t comfortable (hence why I have i305 as #5). It got good speed, but it seemed like that speed was then used to make a lot of turns and twists... where the top two in this list use their speed to mostly move “forward” and thus feel more like you’re just flying through the track. I’ve ridden 3 times. Front was fun, but nothing amazing other than the first drop and the banked hill. Back was awful. Like if I wait in line and then I’m told that I can’t wait for something near the front and most ride in a row near the back, is honestly rather just walk through and not ride at all.

Although interesting that the signage references rona... which means at some point someone thought they would still be able to do both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noticed this (pulled pork fries) on the menu at potato works in river town. Was this available last year? Did anyone try it? That might be next for me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was a special at brewhouse. Looked great, but unfortunately wasn’t on the dining plan, so I didn’t try it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cod sandwich without cheese w/ spicy slaw and tots. One of my brewhouse favorites. Pro: Tasty. Con: Took about 20 minutes to order/get food. Another pro, we sat outside and I LOVED not smelling the drifting smoke of the smoking section that used to be right next to the outdoor dining. Eating while watching Diamondback splashdown was great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They don’t have a way to know for sure, but I think most people understand that they are trying to ensure as many as possible get to ride. That said, we rode early yesterday with a ticket and then went back over around 6 just to see what the line was like and since there was no line, we were told we could enter the cue without needing a ticket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Opening day at KI was a mess too. They didn’t have the ticket system for Orion implemented yet. I wouldn’t fault CP... I think it’s just part of the process to react to issues as they occur. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beef ribs, chef special tonight. Coney BBQ Pretty good, although I had to trim a lot of fat from it, which had most of the exterior seasoning. Every dining plan location we saw today was open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like Orion really messed up your brain. I can’t wait! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
