KIfan73 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 If you haven't already, be sure to follow Greg Scheid on your Twitter account. Been some very interesting tweets in the last couple days! Quote
HTCO Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 What's his account name? I'm assuming it's his name? Quote
kjkjkj Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Interesting! Sounds like the menu at Kings Island's dining locations is finally being revamped! It sounds like they are focusing on quality! Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Six Flags made quite clear in its conference call today that they have learned you can charge more for high quality. I look forward to higher quality food at Cedar Fair parks. Heck, if I could just renew my Platinum Pass, I might visit much more often. Quote
Diamondback96 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Why do I feel that Wendy's will be at KI this coming season? Also, "ACTIVITY River" 1 Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Cedar Point's John Hildebrandt is also on Twitter now, @cpgmjohn. It's funny that all these little things finally happen right after Kinzel leaves. Anybody still doubt he was a micromanager? Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Cedar Point's John Hildebrandt is also on Twitter now, @cpgmjohn. It's funny that all these little things finally happen right after Kinzel leaves. Anybody still doubt he was a micromanager? I certainly don't. I'm still waiting for the "Top 5 at 5" feature to come back. Quote
kblanken Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Why do I feel that Wendy's will be at KI this coming season? It looks like someone asked him about Wendy's, and he said "Nope, it will be all in house!!" Also, there will be cheese steaks at Snake Pit, and more. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Snake Pit is one of the few places where the food is actually worth the price. Their footlongs are delicious, as are their frozen lemonades. I look forward to trying their cheesesteaks. Quote
74Gibson Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Hildebrant's tweets have been quite refreshing. They're finally taking down that hideous projection screen on Iron Dragon's midway! I think out beloved parks are going to start getting their charm back 1 Quote
Delirium13 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I really like that so far he seems to be answering a lot of people's questions and is fairly candid about it all, his tweets are very interesting and are getting me more excited for this season. Quote
jcgoble3 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 A couple hours ago, he tweeted, "How about letting Gold and Platinum holders in every day an hour early? Hmmm....." I like his thinking. 1 Quote
CedarPointer Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I like how he's answering questions from employees. I'm pretty sure that kind of thing was discouraged before. Quote
DropZone99 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I tweeted him asking if the slides at Soak City would be painted new colors for the 2012 season, he replied with "We are working on the slides right now and you will see the changes!" Hopefully that means they are indeed being painted new colors. Quote
HHauntFanatic Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 "We are working on the slides right now and you will see the changes!" Hopefully that means they are indeed being painted new colors. He has a future career in politics, lol! Quote
bkroz Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Or current, depending on how you view the public relations role he's taken on... By his own choice or otherwise. Quote
pkiboy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 All the GMs have Twitter because I have Greg's Personal Twitter that I follow to. its a Thing Matt wants so he can see how the guest Experience is Pat Jones has one to from KD She's a Crack up if you have not met her in real life shes not use to her Iphone 4s yet lol!! and she's coming from a Blackberry Curve!! Quote
74Gibson Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This is so refreshing! After a couple of very frustrating conversations with a man no lOnger with the company... I actually had a hard time enjoying CP last year. Until all of this, I wasn't motivated to renew my PP. These new management and guest relations trends have me anxious to go to CF parks. Honestly, 2 weeks ago I didn't even care (especially holding a KD PP which seems to still require in person renewal Thank you to everyone involive in these changes! Quote
jdawg1998 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Greg is definitely giving us more information than @KingsIslandPR would, instead of saying "No decision has been made at this time"...but I asked them when will we know the ride names in Soak City and of course, what does he say? Soon. Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I have even noticed that @KingsIsland PR has stepped up their game in 2012. Quote
nhimes90 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 From Greg's twitter: "more details to follow, but Gold and Platinum card holders will be allowed in every day to KI an hour early for more rides than ever!" This is great! https://twitter.com/#!/KIGMGREG 1 Quote
Bennett Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Good! An hour during the week is very nice! I will certainly take advantage...will be nice to ride (hopefully) more rides without waiting with the unwashed masses, as it would seem that they may offer more than Beast/DB. 1 Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 All the GMs have Twitter because I have Greg's Personal Twitter that I follow to. its a Thing Matt wants so he can see how the guest Experience is Pat Jones has one to from KD She's a Crack up if you have not met her in real life shes not use to her Iphone 4s yet lol!! and she's coming from a Blackberry Curve!! Nobody cares about personal twitter accounts that you may or may not know. Furthermore, nobody cares about someone elses personal phone from KD. Name dropping does not work for you. Thanks for playing though. 14 Quote
frisbeefan Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Well said AZ Kinda Guy...it's pretty annoying. I wonder how better the food will actually be this season? Time will tell obviously. 1 Quote
ohiocolts Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 More rides than ever, 1 hour early! How many rides? Like 4 or 5? Quote
bkroz Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 He might've meant you can get into the park and get more rides than ever on your favorite attractions. It may still only be two attractions. Quote
beastrider97 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Hildebrant's tweets have been quite refreshing. They're finally taking down that hideous projection screen on Iron Dragon's midway! I think out beloved parks are going to start getting their charm back I can not say how happy I am to see that that horrendous screen is being taken down. The shows on that screen have been getting worse by the year, with American Portrait being possibly the worst ever. The area will be so much nicer without that screen. Plus, Iron Dragon and Wildcat will be able to stay open later! This is a huge improvement, and I feel that this year will bring a ton of improvements. I'm also excited to try the Cheesesteaks and Burgers! It's great to see new, more exciting food options other than the always fantastic Skyline Chili. 2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic year! Quote
