In both the emailed newsletter and on the website, Kings Island is promoting the 2007 Golden Ticket Award it received for Best Kids Area In The World:

Kings Island FEATURES BEST KIDS’ AREA

Being No. 1 is hard work! For the seventh year in a row, Amusement Today readers awarded Kings Island with the prestigious Golden Ticket for Best Kids’ Area in the World in 2007.

Can't do anything more than give a big sigh.

All so JonBenét Ramsey-ish to me.

There are those who thought Cedar Fair would not promote the Golden Ticket awards as Paramount Parks had. Obviously, that is not the case. I also think this may be some indicator that a Nick agreement has either been signed or is close. Note how prominent Mr. SquarePants is in this quotation.

The newsletters are written in house by the KI staff. They pretty much write about whatever they feel as though is important. I think they ideally want to send it out weekly, and since there really isn't any "news" right now, they just promote the internal stuff. I would expect future installments to highlight things such as park news, the shows as they debut, and some familiar faces.

But, why would people think that? Do they not promote their Golden Tickets for Cedar Point? I usually see one on the front of their guides about how they've been voted best amusement park for umteenth years in a row. Not to mention their coaster rankings. Has anyone seen a guide for this year?
