Went Friday and had an amazing time. Figured it would feel much more crowded and it wasn't even that bad. Didn't do the mazes because was with the kids--but even the scare actors were creepy but not too over-zealous. Loved that basically everything was open. Daughter finally hit 54'' so her 1st time on DB and Orion were both at night! This is the best time of year and I love to see the park put to such good use.

We stayed in a Hickory cabin this time. It's a good 2ft wider than the Aspen and given the kitchen isn't U shaped it seems more spacious in the living area. Even with the sofa pulled out, it's easy to walk around. The bedroom is smaller with less closet space, and have to turn sideways to walk beside the bed. But there are multiple closets in the Hickory vs the couple in Aspen. Bathroom also isn't as cramped, easier to change in, and has storage for toiletries. Between the 2 cabins if we had a large family the Hickory would be more functional as long as 4 kids didn't mind sharing the loft. The pool was still open if you wanted to take a polar plunge. And Fall activities we also posted. Also took time to walk around and noticed the lack of blinds in the loft and beside the bunk bed has been resolved, and could see many other cabins had them installed as well. Wood Sorel Way continues to have some work done, seems to be slow going. Hemlock area has blacktop, picnic tables, and grills.

I hope Haunt never comes to Sundays at KI. Fall Sundays (including a great time today!) are some of my favorite times to visit the park.

Looks like some trees have been wrapped for Winterfest already in Tower Gardens. I’m not crazy, right? These lights haven’t been up all season, right?

What was the child's guardians doing?

That's what I was wondering too hearing that. How do you manually check the belts multiple times, along with changing a locking pin, without realizing it's not actually around the person. Not to mention the ride only has 6 seats, so there isn't a lot to check. So it's not like they had to go around 40 seats or something like Drop Tower and were rushing or happened to miss one.

They have tried Haunt on Sundays it was part of Bare Bones nights and it wasn't popular. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

There is. B&M has a new model (Surf Coaster). https://www.coaster101.com/2020/09/28/bolliger-mabillard-files-patent-for-stand-up-coaster-restraint/

I have been lurking on this forum for a while finally registered tonight. Got to the park at 10:15 this morning. Early gold pass rides on Diamondback to start the day. Walked on Mystic Timbers and The Beast at park open. Early arrivals had the pick of any ride they wanted. It got packed after sundown! Left at 8:30PM and people were still streaming in and the parking lot was full. 11 until about 4 was great after that the park was packed. Kill Mart had at least a 2 hour wait at around 8pm.

The report is saying unavailable. But how do you manually unlock a belt and not notice that the belt is not in front of the person? It sure does seem like the industry has had a disproportionate amount of deaths/injuries this year compared to prior years. Maybe not, but she does feel like it.

KIC Haunt 2021 photos have been uploaded. Hopefully more to come, but here is almost 200 to get you started.

I had a dream last night that I was sent back to the Eiffel Tower and was assigned to go up the stairs and attach myself to a bungee and go up and do some checking on the tower and when I got down I realized I left both gates to the stairs open and there were a whole bunch of people who found their way up the stairs and onto the 50 foot deck and I had to get help from security to get people off and when the security guard came and asked me how it happened and I told her what happened, she told me that I would likely be getting multiple safeties (strikes that when something safety related happens that falls on a worker that could lead to termination) for it and then woke up and literally said "just a dream" lol.

It still amazes me that they can release chainwide numbers two days after the fact, but it takes 5 minutes to transact a Blue Ice Cream cone
