RedSummit20 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 okay and?? maybe it deserves its own thread? maybe people want to talk about pass preview day in here instead of searching through all the other stuff @disco2000 have you thought of that??

Having things like Preview Day, minor new updates, show announcements, etc buried into a 100 page mega thread is simply a disservice. It’s less of a TOS thing and more of a community understanding thing. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s less of a TOS thing and more of a community understanding thing. Coupled with that, an admin usually posts these types of things in the "Kings Island Central Newsroom" subforum and we inevitably then get posts in the main Kings Island subforum as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Even when I ran KIC, I would always allow the dual topics. People don’t gravitate to or utilize KI News so it’s another good way for people to miss information, although it’s important because it populates the main page. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KI News forums are what we use to populate official news sent to us by the park, or news that we are 100% certain to be factual. This allows the site to have a 100% news forum that contains the official news releases in one place and also updates the front page of the main site. Then the admin makes a determination based on a few criteria about what to do with existing threads. Has the old thread run its course leading to the news release, the value of keeping multiple threads, and how on or off-topic the other thread may be once official news is releaed. Then we decide to either lock or keep multiple threads going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are sticklers for the rules. Moderating is an art not a science. If it were up to me (and I’m just spit balling here) I would lock the “20__ Season” thread that someone inherently starts sometime around January once actual news starts to come out. Big, long, old threads are intimidating to most, so people will feel like they aren’t caught up and just skip them. That’s why things such as the restaurant changes or Preview Day should have its own thread, rather than being lumped in with the others. Plus it drives traffic since it instantly exposes people to the topic titles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Definitely ready and excited to kick off the season in just a few short weeks. Planning to take the day off from work for preview day. Hopefully the weather is amicable by then. Might even do opening day too, but we shall see. Either way I am fully ready to get back to the park and make some new memories this season!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Has there been any news on what shows we will have this year. The alternate entertainment is a big reason we renew our passes every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I looked on the website today and was surprised the show lineup has not been announced yet... 25 days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenthodge Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 No show updates yet. I don’t think anyone was expecting last years level, but the fact that they aren’t using that to create interest in pass sales seems to say there’s not a lot to talk about. Bring on the Kuntry Review in the German Food Hall with the Chinese mall food again LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Getting back on topic, I'm excited to be back for Preview day, I wasn't able to enjoy the full day last year so to be back to ride Banshee and Mystic will be a nice reason to take some PTO. I think for myself in particular I'm most interested to see how the food options have changed for the season; coupled with how Kings Island deals with merchandising as I would guess they still have a surplus of 50th anniversary merchandise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I mean i like preview night, but it kind of stinks that it sounds like most of the new things aren't going to be there to preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
