  1. Yes please! I'm honestly tired of eating outside at amusement parks. Having an AC given break would be great. Nothing like eating your food and adding on salt by sweating . I kid, I kid...but it does feel quite gross being packed like sardines on the patios of Coney BBQ, with unrelenting heat trying to enjoy a meal.
  2. They were filed after the fact.
  3. Soap Box Derby was filed September 15, 2023. The new permit site doesn't have any ride additions prior to that.
  4. Thanks for your perspective @Shaggy. I can definitely understand where you're point of view comes from. Additionally, I'm fearful that the new Six Flags Entertainment Company, isn't going to do much investing in older rides where they'd rather just remove them. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us one day.
  5. Don't think it's worth the investment. Riders are looking out for the possibility to get soaked....not looking to be entertained by animatronics on the ride.
  6. I have heard that Koontz didn't want the double seat option because it'd would cost more than he wanted to spend at the park out of the allocation. Not much fun to ride it with your friends when their either in front or behind you and you can't turn to them to smile/laugh/talk.
  7. TT2 is just as phenomenal as last year! I didn't notice any side sway and holy cow the rhythm of trains being sent today! Can't wait til they close all the parks but Cedar Point ;-) Talk to budget friendly Koontz....he's the one who can/should be petitioning things for KI....but hey we got a kid coaster last year.
  8. These drop down ads are starting to cover the entire screen on mobile
  9. https://investors.sixflags.com/news/press-releases/press-release-details/2025/Six-Flags-Announces-Plan-to-Close-Six-Flags-America-and-Hurricane-Harbor-After-2025-Season/default.aspx
  10. I don't think because people are still buying passes is a good enough reason to not emphasize and grow the live entertainment offerings. If anything, it's a way to sell more passes....so why not? Why not try to get more people in with stellar shows, especially the older crowds who may not do many rides...have more spendable income, etc.?
  11. Cedar Point released their Live-E.... 5 actual shows.....1 mouse (clown) band.....1 celebration for Peanuts including a parade (?).....1 special event that features entertainment (Boardwalk Nights).....Character Appearances.....and a robust Bands In Residence set. https://www.cedarpoint.com/entertainment https://www.cedarpoint.com/entertainment/bands-in-residence 'nough said.
  12. You're not the only one. As far as trim-less Beast rides...wouldn't they have to physically remove the trims? If so, they'd either have to suspend operations toward the end of the day to remove them for ERT or leave it trimless all day for everyone. If not, then nevermind .
  13. Mostly they are. Several house electronics for the rides. Several are tornado shelters if needed.
  14. I believe they are still included in the dining plan. CP the premium entrees are included.
  15. Guessing for the Liberty Bell topiary.
  16. I saw those two testing as well.....just no people. So odd...would have loved to be up in the tower again.
  17. Wait the tower was open on Saturday? I watched the elevator travel in slow mode go up and down twice...but never saw people up on the tower.
  18. It would have came with them, had I not asked for them to not be on the burger.
  19. The Planet Snoopy side (closest to Snoopy Boutique) looks really nice....they include dividers between urinals. I actually like the sinks...bigger area to wash hands in (though water pressure could be better).
  20. The Pep and Chee was really good!! The only thing I wish they would have had was a bit more sauce on the sandwich. The taste was great! Friday, I left the park and went to try out Dolly's instead of standing in the lines. When my friend and I got back, the line for Skyline was still past the Dodgem entrance queue (as it was when we left). Saturday I had lunch at Miami River Brew House. Got the Pub Burger as I always do when visiting there. It was extremely greasy, but tasted great. Let me tell you, I really wish they'd give an option other than tots. I ate maybe half of the serving given...the potato of them....tasted just meh...but they were coated (and I mean coated) with salt. I'd rather have fries or some other side.
  21. Yes....and the prices for the items are beyond what I want to pay. Cedar Point typically has a killer collection of merch....mostly different selections at all locations.....various ride specific items. At the end of Saturday night, watching the employees bring the rolling racks into the store...they didn't think much about the floor strip at the threshold....themed drink bottles and squishmellows went flying. I heard someone say on Saturday "Cedar Fair just bought Kings Island....so hopefully they turn it around." Diamondback and Racer had reduced ride capacity. Diamondback 2 trains with the 3rd sitting in storage....Racer one per side (other 2 trains were not at the ride). I do not understand Diamondback's reduced capacity with the sign posted below: Why is it that prior to the 2025 season, the park was able to get 3 Diamondback trains ready for opening weekend...but this year not? I get Racer....they ran it during Winterfest.... Flight of the Valkyrie(?) still plays awkwardly. But it's still an awkward sit on the midcourse/block.
  22. We found out what this was going to be on March 27th:
  23. Fast Lane does not equal preferred seating. It's not guaranteed for anyone in the stand by queue or the Fast Lane queue. If you get it, great....if not, just know you are never guaranteed it.
  24. Looks to be a part of the work on the permit I found during the off season:
