I truly hope Herschend makes a run on this park, or even Palace, when CFSUX decides to start liquidating parks, so it can be brought back somewhat close to what it was when I considered it my home park.  I feel sorry for those who call that their home park, as I used to, there are just many things going against it that their ride lineup... while good... cant overcome.

I have not been to Worlds of Fun but I know that we are very spoiled at Kings Island with solid maintenance and reliable rides. It's very rare for us to have any rides that are closed the entire season or even months on end. Even looking at parks like six flags great America which I love dearly, they have rides which remained closed for very long periods of time. Maintenance is such a vital part of park operations and KI has always been really solid
