TR Tuesday, June 17

[KIfan73]

For some reason my Photobucket account is not working, so I'll give a short TR without photos.

When I saw Tuesday's forecast of the low 70s, I knew it was my day to go.

I started with a double ride on The Beast, and worked my way counterclockwise to Flight Deck. Lines were short until 1pm or so. In between rides, I ate lunch while watching The County Line, and also took in Endless Summer on Ice. I've never been a big show person, and until last summer, had never been to one at KI. I've got to say they are a great addition to a day at the park. They are really good. I think CF made a great investment in adding these.

That leads with what I will end with. Cedar Fair is doing, I think, what any smart owner would do. They are maximizing what they have. Even without thinking about the Firehawk addition, I think they have made smart choices about using the park to its potential. The park is always spotless. They've rejuvenated Festhaus, as well as the shops (and the merchandise in the shops). The landscaping is great. I notice lots of new paint in all areas of the park. I feel like they are really concentrating on the "infrastructure" of the park, rather than adding completely new things, and neglecting other parts of the park. Heck, even Viking Fury looks great.

The main thing is that I was entertained from 10 am until I left at 6 pm (was tired and still had a 90 minute drive home). No letdowns. Anything I went to do, I was pleasantly surprised with cleanliness, attention to detail, and efficiency. Great job KI and CF!
