Attempting to get driving directions to the park returns a warning to that effect.

The park should be managing its Google+ profile to prevent Google users from entering such inaccurate data.

Somewhere, someone is going to be very upset........

I clicked on "Suggest an edit" and changed it to open. The edit is now being reviewed by Google.

However, it would be better if there was an option for "closed for the season". The only choices are "open" or "permanently closed".

There are other alternatives in use-

Carowinds has a 'Closed today' listing. Kings Island and others just have that spot empty.

If a business has its hours on its Google+ profile, then Google Maps (and a regular Google search) will display those hours, which is the source of Carowinds' "closed today" (and if you look a little closer at their hours, it seems that they still have Scarowinds hours listed). Otherwise, a business marked "open" just shows nothing, like Kings Island (which, according to the "suggest an edit" interface, is indeed marked as "open").

Funny, I didn't have this problem when I looked up directions to Kings Dominion on MapQuest...

-MDMC, who uses Google Maps (mostly on his phone) but has an Mapquest account...

^ Yeah, but you probably drove to Canada on the way there.

FTW, who doesn't look for quests... Just concise directions on how to get where I'm going.

Sorry folks, the moose should have told you out front.

It's not just KD.. I forget if it was CP, KI, or what, but one of the other CFEC parks was marked "permanently closed" and I submitted an edit, which was approved shortly.

Was this a malicious attempt? Or was Google Maps just confused with the end of the season and permanently closing a park?

It's not Google Maps getting confused. It's users submitting false data. Someone had to set it to "closed", otherwise it would just say not open today if it had no hours listed.

I've been reminded that it was indeed Carowinds that previously was marked "Permanently Closed" this off-season.

You mad bro?

I'm always mad.

I don't know what i'm mad about here, though.

This has finally been fixed. I don't know what took so long for the change to be reviewed, but it is no longer listed as "permanently closed".
