Yep, have it all

How much longer for Congo Falls?
one word, SIZE. The immersion of Les Taxi and OOL took you away from everything. As the attraction got older the trees were bigger and it enhanced it.

COASTERSTOCK 2022 TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 10AM!
I work in ecommerce web development. It’s a common thing to have this implemented. I had the same issue because I was on the page before 10. I closed my browser and was able to get right in and buy a ticket. On chrome. Sure there might have been some small percentage that had cache issues but I guarantee you that 98% of the people having issues with the button not showing were already on the page and just refreshing. I deal with this stuff everyday at work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

COASTERSTOCK 2022 TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 10AM!
There was no issue. This is set on the backend of the store site. It basically purges those who show up early. Refreshing does nothing as your session is still there. You needed to close your browser or switch to another one.

Article: Cedar Point to roll back starting wages from $20/hr to $15/hr
Nope. I think they are hoping for approval for foreign workers.

Beast project details revealed!
I've had a discussion with someone involved with coaster engineering. Their reply to me was It could run with reduced trims if they switched to a different trains and reinforced certain sections with steel. The PTC trains are the thing that does most of the damage to The Beast. There is a lot that could be done with The Beast. Depends on how much $$ CF wants to spend on it. New trains are not cheap.

SeaWorld makes $3.4 billion takeover bid for Cedar Fair?
Something to consider. CF has been dumping a lot of money to internal improvements and paint on everything around the chain just like someone getting ready for a house eval before putting up for sale. May be something, may be nothing. I seriously hope this does not happen. This would be horrible for Kings Island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cedar Point to raise ticket prices / fate of TTD still unknown
I wouldn’t rule out a removal of TTD. Remember, SOB was removed and it was a one of a kind wooden hyper coaster. So I would say all Options are on the table still. What has me scratching my head is how they don’t know what caused it yet. I mean it’s been 5 months. You have to wonder if they know what caused it and are deciding if they want to put money into modifying a 20 year old steel coaster that already has issues with its launch system and is down a lot?? I guess time will tell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coastermania no longer requiring coaster club membership
I don't see it as an entitlement. Sorry you feel that way.

Kings Island hiring 5,000 associates at $15/hr for 2022
They've raised prices starting this season. Season passes are $135 now. I wouldn't doubt food prices go up as well.

Covered walkway of old KI
They could easily add it back during a Planet Snoopy update and still have movement through there. I agree with another member who posted in this thread. It was like a portal that took you to another land. That is what they are missing. The immersion of themed areas. That is why Universal and Disney do so well. KI needs to separate Planet Snoopy and Rivertown again as well as isolate other areas.

50th Anniversary Updates
That would be CINCINNATI. And there is a lot more to do than KI, chili, ball and IKEA.

Teens banned from KI for a disturbance they say they never had a part of
Looks like filming on a ride in the video. So the ban is justified. Break the rules, pay the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How is no one talking about the parking lot finally getting repaved?
I'd say they're open.

The Beast and Racer Pen Collectibles
I honestly don’t know who they were marketing this towards. Not many people collect pens anymore. I think the price point is kinda high. I feel they could have produced something else that would be appeasing to a larger demographic. To each their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Beast Retrack Work
More info will be revealed soon. Patience. I would love to see the GG Timberliners on The Beast. It would allow for a smoother and faster ride without the banging around the PTCs do. And yes, the Timberliners will fit and operate on The Beast. This was told to me by a very reputable source. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
