Orion742 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 So I can’t help but wonder on Tuesday how the crowds will be for the first concert back at Timber wolf. I am sure the park will be packed all of Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Given the perfect weather forecasted, yes it will be a larger than normal crowd. Given that admission is not part of the concert series as past concerts were, I don't think the concert will have a significant impact on attendance. By last estimates, it appears it isn't even half sold. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t shock me if Kings Island quit on the concert series for next year if they aren’t selling well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they said this year was a test year and if they don’t bring really high attendance in this year I don’t think we will see it next year. And it is already looking like it will be low attendance for the concerts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Yeah looking at the amount of tickets available, if they stay that way, then the concert series may end up being a flop. Maybe since some people haven't really heard of some of these bands is why some people are staying away from buying the tickets. Maybe, they could still have tickets on sale while at the park and maybe it could draw some people to buy tickets during the concert?? 1 hour ago, Orion742 said: I agree they said this year was a test year and if they don’t bring really high attendance in this year I don’t think we will see it next year. And it is already looking like it will be low attendance for the concerts. To add on to that, if they do have a low turnout, maybe we'll see Timberwolf demolished after all. Unless they want to try and restart Spirit Song (which Premier Festivals, the promoter who organizes SS is still doing events like Rock the Smokies at Dollywood this year), then if these concerts are a flop, I don't see the reason to keep the theater around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlentless Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I was hoping it would be a good success for the park. Could be people are more concerned with buying gas/food. Perhaps after many years people still only think about Riverbend as the place for outdoor concerts. Maybe incentives could be added like half price tickets to the park? Dinner parties with the band at IR? Free parking with a concert ticket . . I am not sure of the current parking situation if you only have a concert ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOULLBEBACK Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I wish they had a better lineup of artists. Sadly, I don't see any of these acts pulling in decent crowds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the announcement of this series this year, free parking after 5pm has been included with the concert ticket... But yes, it hasn't been marketed a lot (even not being an A-lister, a radio station usually picks up on it and arranges an opportunity to talk to the performer, give away tickets, etc.), no discounts for passholders, no discount for the park...it is almost like they want it to not be successful and the concert series is a distraction to take the scent off of a future attraction in the area...you know put all the Timberwolf is leaving rumors to rest, yet here we are before the first concert and even the naysayers here last year saying Timberwolf would not be removed and now leaning towards its possible removal.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Another thing Mike said at Coasterstock is they are learning about the concert business. Perhaps, they will also ask the bands that play for feedback on what necessary improvements should be made to the theater to make it better and draw more crowds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably say your concept in the other thread is pretty cool and the park should do that! Not that the park would want to give up that real estate, but what if they did like we see popping up all over town and added a row of condos on top of your concept. Who wouldn't wanna live that close to the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I would have absolutely zero interest in living within earshot of the nightly fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 ^And yet in the past 10 years, people built $500,000 homes just off the fireworks launch site lol. Sure some have no interest, but others do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Here's a pic of the current crowd right now less than 10 minutes before the concert. Let me say, more than I thought looking at the amount of tickets sold! They were playing announcements about buying tickets online in the park all day so maybe that helped a little. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a Tuesday evening concert with a group like the Avett Brothers, the crowd looks pretty decent. I hope the concerts are successful enough to warrant future concerts being held. Kings Island should also do more in-park advertising for the concerts. Even in Timberwolf’s heyday, the concerts were not necessarily always sell-outs. However, Timberwolf brought in bigger names back then. I assume weekend concerts have the potential to be more popular as well as bigger names. I hope Kings Island can bring in some more popular groups next year if this year proves to be successful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
