Herschend. No question.

"What new ride are you looking forward to outside of Kings Island?" That was the question. It didn't specify it had to be A Cedar Fair or Six Flags ride. That's why I brought up King Kong. It just happened to be followed by two questions regarding CF and SIX. EDIT: No idea why this is highlighted.

^Works that way for Space Mountain too!

If King Kong opens at Islands of Adventure next year I would go with that. I don't know if they plan on opening it next year or 2016. I'll go with Fury 325. Cedar Point. SFGAdv.

Yeah! That one.

^When you were at Dollywood did you ride the new coaster? (Can't think of the name right now)

Columbus Zoo's event had fires in barrels. It was not an open fire. Either way, it's a dumb risk. Not that this is ever going to happen anyways.

Yeah, Universal isn't hurting.

"For the third quarter of 2014, operating costs and expenses were $283 million, up $8 million from the prior-year third quarter. The increased costs for the quarter were largely the result of budgeted increases in operating expenses, which included: 1) an increase in both seasonal labor hours and rates; and 2) initiatives focused on enhancing the overall guest experience, including the introduction of more midway entertainment throughout the parks and a new policy offering complimentary admission to the Dinosaurs Alive! attraction for the Company's most loyal season pass customer base." This makes me happy. Maybe I have been too close to Busch Gardens and have read about the old Disney, but there have been too many instances of cutting costs. While it works in the short run, it hurts the company in the long term, and I am very happy to see Cedar Fair continuing to go all out for operations.

I support this 100%

I saw way more Banshee and Gatekeeper shirts at Busch Gardens than I saw Busch Gardens branded clothes. Wasn't even close.

Banshee probably around 12 times on Media Day. Alpengeist probably a lot more. E.T. even more. I love the E.T. ride.

Please link to the source. I don't want another off-season like the last one. I think new fountains may come along with the remodeled International Street. KD's and CW's look really nice and I don't see why CF would leave Kings Island's fountains unchanged.

I would say Escape From Gringotts and Falcon's Fury are my best new credits from 2014. Gringotts offers something incredible, and is a technology marvel. Even the wait in line is an adventure. Truly amazing. Falcon's Fury is just terrifying. Plain and simple.

And now it is open. There were great memes made tonight.

The barn area on the Frontier Trail is a petting zoo.

^I don't believe Cedar Point's petting zoo is an upcharge.

Of course this exciting stuff would happen in my area on my off day. I am hearing that some of the structure has collapsed. I guess the Wishes fireworks blew over to Mine Train. More pics and video from this Instagram account. http://instagram.com/ferdalump

Now that those are checked off the list, I would say a well done dark ride is needed. After that, I can't think of anything else that is needed.

Was it because of snow or wind or...?

Another season, another CF park gets a Flying Eagles ride. Soon, my friends. Soon. http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2014/10/dorney-park-announces-new-attraction.html
