2025 Schedule is Out

[disco2000]

2025 schedule is out and is basically what we are use to in recent years.

April 19th opening day.

9pm closes until Memorial Day weekend.

10am-10pm Memorial Day until August 9th.

Sprinkled 7pm closes early May and 8pm closes mid August 

Only out through Labor Day

No midnight closes.

*Subject to Change
And of this post, it is glitchy almost like in the middle of being updated.  Sometimes a month shows closed and then refresh and shows open.

Hopefully the May 24th grand opening for RiverRacers (assuming construction doesn't get delayed)!!! Me, like many of you are counting down the days. If my counting is correct, we have 123 days until RiverRacers and 88 days until KI opening day. Hope to see you all then!

With the merger and what could have been, I'm happy with the calendar.

Absolutely.  Take a look at Michigan's Adventure or CGA and be glad we don't mirror theirs!

Some parks schedules got hit worse than others.

While it is an early "win", time will tell if we "pay" for it with reduced staffing and other cuts that would erode the guest experience....

I can dig this. Good to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

With Kings Island and other SIX parks looking to do minimal staffing across the park, combined with reducing pay and hours, it's hard not to see the guest experience eroding.

The hypothetical would it be better to have everything staffed and open and reduced hours, or extended hours but not everything open and minimal staffing?  I doubt they would ever run every day with everything open fully staffed, so I think most would prefer longer hours and the new buzz phrase "comfortably crowded"...

At least we don't have hours like this:

Memorial Day weekend Saturday:

 

First two weeks of daily operation:

 

Or CGA month of June calendar with 8pm closes and some random days closed:

They could be fully staffed and not cut hours but choose not to. That's what's going to irk people.
