BeeastFarmer Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I'mThis will be the first Coasterstock I've missed. I am stepping away from Six Flags for a season to refresh and renew my perspective. There's been so much negativity since 2022's season end. The only caveat is I am trying to decide if I want to go to the ACE Spring Conference. I love Kings Dominion and BGW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonHelbig Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Six Flags regional PR representative Chad Showalter deliberately left me off the list for the distribution of the Coasterstock news release. No surprise there. Despite his ongoing pettiness, I continue to produce some of the best content about the park across my owned and shared channels. Here's a link to the piece I wrote on Coasterstock 2025 at Kings Island. https://themeparksbydon.com/coasterstock-returns-to-kings-island-in-may-with-exclusive-rides-special-guests-and-surprises/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
