Losantiville Mining Co. Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I don't enjoy nitpicking things that the park does, but things like this make me wonder what is going on behind the scenes. The phrase "I believe" really shouldn't be something they write in a comment like this (in my opinion). It almost reads as a hostile comment to me. A better way to put it might be: "Go to [activation URL] and log in, then follow the steps defined on your Season Pass order voucher to activate your 2026 Gold Pass". An even better comment would have been: "Go to [activation URL] and log in using your Kings Island account information. Then, follow the steps defined on your Season Pass order voucher to activate your 2026 Gold Pass. If you would like any additional help, please email [Six Flags helpline email address] and an associate will assist you further". I won't say it's necessarily a bad thing when someone comments in an informal manner using an official account, but this just feels bad. The first rewrite takes almost zero additional effort compared to what was published, and the second one goes a step further by including the helpline email. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually isn't professional though to use that sort of wording as it instills doubt in the reader that the resource responding isn't even entirely certain of the process. In my line of work, when I write up a report, I cannot use those kinds of words nor can I use wording like "I feel" or "I think". I have to stick to the facts and use only what has been heard, observed and experienced upon contact and whatever information is relayed to me when writing up a report. Using anything but the facts would not hold water or up in court if taken all the way there. Granted, my example is a lot more serious, the sentiment still stands that this isn't a good look or a good way to communicate protocol to a customer as this doesn't scream confidence in knowing your product and how it works. I fear that this is going to be the way for the foreseeable future. There have just been so many changes and shifts in passes, processes and what not that there doesn't seem to be any unified understanding. I really hope this doesn't remain the norm. I want to see each park thrive within themselves and their staff to also thrive and be confident in their product. It can only mean success and satisfaction for all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it looks for brands when your social media person isn’t far removed from their last group project being for extra credit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 The sad thing is that Cedar Fair was always TERRIBLE about creating programs and benefits that all have different rules and restrictions (like the old gold pass perks that were like "get 10% off a Cinnabon between 4pm-4:30pm on odd numbered days of even numbered months), then not explaining it to the front line associates or telling them when anything changed. When I worked at the park, we often found out about changes because guests would ask us about them, and we'd look foolish because no one had told us that anything had changed. Six Flags has always been better in this regard. Things were clearly stated, and when they weren't, there never seemed to be an issue getting an answer. It's sad that now the whole company behaves like Cedar Fair, except with the added wrinkle of them not caring about your experience whatsoever once they have your money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who often has doubts, this was exactly what I thought when I first read that comment. The person asking the question would've had every right to say, "Oh, that didn't really answer any part of my question in a meaningful way". 5 hours ago, DonHelbig said: This is how it looks for brands when your social media person isn’t far removed from their last group project being for extra credit. It feels bad to see that they don't have anyone more experienced (nearby) working above to guide these younger social media folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodVengeance Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 FYI: They're closing the park early today at 6pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Interesting that this time only "unused" tickets can be used another day. I guess, too bad if you wanted to make the most of a day with bad weather not expecting them to close 5 hours early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, too bad if you wanted to make the most of a day with bad weather not expecting them to close 5 hours early. That or at least give them a partial refund for the 5 hours that were cut. I was there earlier today when they made the announcement, and I saw several guests complaining about not being able to get a refund. It would be really nice if the park had a "Worry-Free Weather Guarantee" like a certain other park has, but corporate certainly wouldn't approve of that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 It's beyond potential lol. That area has been repaired already this season a few times with more likely this off-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted Monday at 08:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:32 PM As I was doing some zooming around on the Google StreetView of KI I noticed this particular typo ("King's") on the old Thunder Alley sign. Does anyone remember seeing this and know if it stuck around until the end of the attraction? Cedar Fair making some typos in the rapid retheming of all the Paramount Parks properties would be understandable, but not sending someone up with a little piece of black tape or some paint for a 6-ish years is interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timchat2 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago New (or at least new to me) rigging in the carousel pavilion, presumably for WinterFest? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I wonder if they will move the ice carver to the new pavilion. With the potential for a downsized Winterfest this would make a good second location. Although, if the event maintains its size or is expanded this will be a great spot to have another show. I think the stretched covers have to be removed once it starts snowing though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
