malem Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 ^ Good catch; it's certainly not the first time the wrong park's details were put on the website. Luckily, they got it fixed relatively quickly. Posting website errata in this thread seems to do the trick. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Given that the primary guest opportunities for that event invlolve spending, that seems priced about right. Remember, Cedar Fair does not own Gilroy Gardens, but only manages it under contract. Quote

I come up with: The headline is wrong. The article only says that the park is open Friday and Monday on Labor Day weekend, implying that it is closed Saturday and Sunday. September 11 is a Wednesday... ...and that should be September 21 anyway... ...and the park most certainly does NOT open at 0700 that day. It's spelled Haunt, not Hant. Does that match your list, or did I miss one? 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Fair and balanced. They never said accurate or right! 6 Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I wonder if they have an opening for a proofreader? 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I doubt it. Editors, fact checkers and proofreaders were among the first let go in the new media. 1 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 The website still shows FOF having OTSRs. I even saw it mentioned previously in this thread and it hasn't been fixed. Granted, I don't expect everything mentioned to get fixed right away, but I don't know why--this just really bothers me haha. Quote
Ride On_17 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 On Backwoods Bayou page on the Haunt site, it should say too and not to multiple times. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/haunt/ride/Backwoods-Bayou/cat/Scare%20Zones 4 Quote
McSalsa Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 LOLZ...I was checking the thrill rides page of VisitKingsIsland.com, and found this... Thrill RidesYear after year, the best thrills the world has to offer are at Kings Island. Year after year, the best thrills keep getting better. Speed junkies can get their fix on the new Banshee - the longest inverted roller coaster in the world. Challenge The Beast - the longest wooden roller coaster in the world - and Diamondback. There's also The Bat, Delirium, Drop Tower, Delirium, Invertigo, The Racer and Vortex. The thrills never seem to end at Kings Island. I bolded it to make it stand out, LOL. 10 Quote
homestar92 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/Flight-Deck Exhibit A: The URL is wrong. What is this "Flight Deck"? Exhibit B: If you view the video for the ride, it shows this "Flight Deck" ride again. I kid, obviously they need time to get these things changed. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. This will be the first time since Cedar Fair became owner of KI that a single ride is going to get renamed isn't it? Obviously there was the mass De-Paramounting of 2008 and Snoopy in 2010, but this is different than both of those cases. Actually, this may be the first time since Drop Zone was renamed that an individual ride will be renamed. -Homestar92, being clever with his wording in the hopes that someone is confused by it and made to feel silly. 6 Quote
Diamondbacker27 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I wonder why they havent added Banshee to "Thrill Rides" Gatekeeper was on CPs page when it got announcex Quote
homestar92 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Maybe they want to be more careful. As you said in your post, CP accidentally ended up adding a ride that isn't thrilling to the "Thrill Rides" section of the website. 2 Quote

malem Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 The SSL certificate used for visitkingsisland.com expired on 12/14/2013 at 18:59:59 EST, meaning that the website is now producing an error message for most visitors. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/ 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Perhaps this is something Dick Kinzel did. Now that he's gone.... HAR HAR HAR! He probably thought secure socket layers were porcelain. 4 Quote
malem Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 ^ This particular certificate wasn't issued until 12/12/2012, so blaming him might be farfetched. (But then again, Bart's still there at the end of 2013.) One would hope that an error like this would have started sending alerts to the mobile phones of Cedar Fair's IT staff around 7:01pm last night. 6 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Actually, this may be the first time since Drop Zone was renamed that an individual ride will be renamed. -Homestar92, being clever with his wording in the hopes that someone is confused by it and made to feel silly. The Outer Limits: Flight of Fear was shortened to just Flight of Fear in 2001. However, one could argue that one of the "new" attractions that year (Wild Thornberry's River Adventure) was also renamed (having been Kings Mill Log Flume up until it last operated in 1999). Personally, I prefer to think of KMLF and WTRA as two separate rides, as the attraction was almost entirely rebuilt. And for anybody not getting what homestar92 was referring to, Xtreme Skyflyer opened in 1995 as "Drop Zone". It was renamed to its current name the following season, most likely to allow for a new ride named Drop Zone to open in Coney Mall in 1997 (there was even a teaser sign that said "Future Site of New Attraction Dropping in Next Summer!"). The attraction was postponed and instead opened in 1999 as part of the new Paramount's Action Zone. 9 Quote
CedarPointer Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 So, evidently going to m.visitkingsisland.com brings you to a different site than going to visitkingsisland.com on a mobile browser does... one that's stuck in 2011... http://m.visitkingsisland.com/public/inside/rides/index.cfm?mode=types&type=10 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ...and, when accessed on a typical mobile device, one where e-commerce is not possible. Odd, given their e-commerce assister is ACCESSo [sic], which doesn't allow access to e-commerce without Flash. It's 2013, not 1998. Sigh. 1 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 On the general Thrill Rides page on visitkingsisland.com, The Beast is still listed as being a Fast Lane Plus attraction, while Banshee is listed as not being a part of the Fast Lane lineup at all. Just a minor mistake that I thought I'd point out. 6 Quote

thegajone Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I was just browsing the events and promotions page today and noticed that the Dinos After Dark event says "Walk through a 12.5 Jurassic forest setting at night" -- I think they forgot the word "acre" in there. 3 Quote
malem Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Not Kings Island, but apparently the new-for-2014 water slides at Carowinds' Boomerang Bay were not added to the appropriate attractions page on the park's own website: https://www.carowinds.com/things-to-do/boomerang-bay (Announcement page: https://www.carowinds.com/what-s-new/more-thrills-at-boomerang-bay) The 2014 operating season for the waterpark is over.

malem Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 On cedarpoint.com: A platinum pass may be a great value, but a $198 pass doesn't pay for itself in less than 2 visits at a park with $62 admission and $15 parking. 4 Quote
Steph88 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Do season passholders pay for parking? Or is that covered under the pass? Quote
