CEO Brings Things Back....What Would You Like To See At KI?

[Orion-XL200]

Yesterday, Kings Dominion announced the return of in park Live Entertainment (while they had some, it lacked). Today, 2 parks have Holiday In The Park returning. 

 

 

If you got to talk with the new CEO and he asked what you'd like to see come back to KI, what are your top 3 choices? Ideally, you're responses would be realistic and "easily" attainable and most likely not a major attraction.

The Clown Band. Seems like KD is more or less getting done version of the same.

A sign clarifying the rule that a giga coaster is a coaster with a height OR DROP of 300' or more.

Night ERT events and midnight closes would be nice again.

What makes International Street have more ambience: the fountain pedestals and gas lamps. Redo the pavers so there is a (flat) delineation between sidewalk, curb and street (no black pavers, though, to hold on heat.) get rid of the grass around the tower and do lush landscape.  Flower baskets galore in the entire area.

For rides, fill the empty Vortex plot with a multi launch coaster, the Crypt building with a Vekoma madhouse, Skyflyer plot with a Scream n Swing, and Action Theater with a flying theater or planeterium type attraction. Empty ride plots/buildings imo should be filled with RIDES not Haunts or restaurants.

Bring in more limited time popup events and entertainment like Dive in Movies/late night activities in Soak City, Food Truck festivals, late night ERT events for passholders/coaster club members, and competitions like 5ks and eating contests. Didn't Carowinds do a hopscotch competition a few weeks back?

Expand Food and Wine and make it more immersive and move it up to the beginning of May and have it run on every operating day through like before Memorial Day. 

Add a Brew and BBQ/Barrels and Bites Event in Rivertown in June and a Viva La Fiesta style event in Adventure Port in July. Add a Kids focused event (ie Kidzfest) to Planet/Camp Snoopy

Speaking of Camp Snoopy add camp style activities to Camp Snoopy for kids to partake in like crafts, tye dying T shirts, bubble parties, etc.

Bring back Spirit Song and/or other concerts to Timberwolf and focus on building it and NOT giving up on it after one year. Do a "Summer Music Festival" type of event like what Carowinds did in 2024 and have multiple stages throughout the park with Timberwolf being the main stage

Bring in the Splash Water Parade 

Decorate the park with summer vibes style decor from Memorial Day through Labor Day like what Dollywood does for peak Summer. For example: have things like kites, pool noodles, umbrellas, etc hanging over pathways as well as air dancers.

What this person said!  I also liked the vintage Orchestra-style music.

and.... REPLACE BURNT OUT BULBS on the iStreet buildings.  It's the first AND last thing guests see.
