Jasper Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I think the rides page on this site and the calendar and other things do need to be updated, but look at it this way. The mods go to great lengths to help our forums be the best they can poissibly be, they take their own time out of their own day to keep this site up and running for us the community. For that I thank you mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I wonder how much total traffic the main site counts for? I can't imagine it's even 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Looking at the newest update to the park's website, it seems that problems spelling the word "excite" aren't exclusive to this forum: EDIT: It got fixed 3 hours and 56 minutes after I made this post.

kblanken Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It does have a good mix of showing an image generic enough to use at any Cedar Fair park without people saying 'Hey that coaster is at ____' and displaying a 'Ooh, roller coasters.' Yay! I like it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 KI updated their website again over the weekend, adding a new "Photo of the Day" feature, which the park mentioned in a tweet this morning. (Inspired by this forum, perhaps?)One new error: a placeholder countdown ("Something BIG is gonna happen") was added to the 2012 Howl-O-Palooza pages, such as http://www.visitkingsisland.com/daytime/ . (Presumably, this section of the site shouldn't even be active right now.)Those boxes are typically used to count down to things like announcements or Opening Day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think If I translated this correctly, Under where it says "Something BIG is gonna happen!" it also says "Tags for this ugly page. In a development". Sounds a little odd to me.....

malem Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ^ The Latin is placeholder text. It's not supposed to have meaning, other than demonstrating text layout. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccarthysnerd Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ^ Do you happen to know when the "Something BIG" label was added to that page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 ^ Google says it updated 4 days ago. I just checked, and the "something big" banner wasn't in a previous version of the cached page from December 29. Other changes at the same time include putting Red Gold in the scrolling sponsors list, adding a link to the new "Sponsors" page that includes Coca-Cola, and (finally!) fixing the Accesso store so that it can run 100% over SSL encryption. My guess is that they merged changes from a master template into individual site templates, and they simply forgot to delete the unneeded countdown from the Kings Island Howl-O-Palooza template. They should fix it before someone uses it to start a rumor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 On a semi-related note, going back to the beginning of this topic and the complaints about the "visitkingsisland" domain... I just checked, and it appears there is no longer an active website at kingsisland.com. This means there's a possibility we could have the "good" domain name for KI's website in a couple of years. Let the rumors begin! (Disclaimer: There is absolutely no way to determine if this will ever happen - even if the domain expires next year, there's no guarantee that CF will want it or even that they will be able to get it before someone else does...)

jcgoble3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The domain registration expires September 21, 2014: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/kingsisland.com And indeed, there is no longer anything at http://www.kingsisland.com/ , and a Google search for "king's island" toronto ontario -ohio (using information from the WHOIS search above) returns nothing in the first two pages about the company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It could just be a technical issue. Things sometimes, and often do break with technology. That or there is stuff they don`t want you to see from the webcams... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
