No More FUN Perks?
Using your rewards was, at best, like pulling teeth. Employees not knowing how to apply the discounts properly being the main culprit that I witnessed. We DO get a discount on food, if I read the website correctly before by using our gold passes. 10% I thought. I certainly hope that they do come up with an alternative, and, do a better job of teaching employees that it exists, and, how to properly apply it.

Park map changes
If you don't know what "Saratoga Chips" are, you've never been to Montgomery Inn...but, essentially a fresh made potato chip, with BBQ sauce for dipping.

KICentral T-Shirt Poll
Let me know how to pay...I will be in the park on Opening day, but probably won't arrive until 6pm or later. Would obviously prefer to not have to pay shipping, but, if we cannot connect, I understand.

Windseeker ride malfunction strands Knott's visitors
Would have to be faster than the current evac system...that said, if that is the best that they can come up with to help with the problem, it shows a total lack of planning from the ride manufacturer from the beginning. I predict a very, very short lifecycle for these prototypes. Perhaps building one to start with would have been a better idea. Shame, really.

Plus Sized Riders
I cannot ride Delirium...per the sign (76" I think). I've tried to ride it a few times, when there was no real line, always been rebuffed. I did ride the Rip Ride Rocket in Universal Studios three times, with a 78" height restriction. Had no problem, no one even questioned it...though I did slouch when I got up to the top.

That video makes me sad...loved that ride. Had that move down pat.

Why? The Burrito shack isn't going anywhere...they are just revamping the "back porch" area.

Who Do You Like to Ride With?
My daughter. That said, I would enjoy riding coasters with my wife, if she would actually ride them. #1 coaster chicken.

The lease is all well and good...here are the nuts and bolts of it, and, why it is not time to get excited just yet. 10. Lease may be terminated by either party within 90 days after execution if the financing package is not acceptable to either Kentucky Kingdom or KSFB. Finance and Administration Cabinet and KSFB will be involved in negotiations with bank to ensure that the financing details are known to them during the financing acquisition phase. 11 After lease is signed, if park requires major unforeseen work not covered by Kentucky Kingdom’s projections, it may terminate lease within 90 days of execution of lease. Either party can comfortably blow this whole deal up...- Spirit Song line-up partially announced
Just ride Drop Tower and Congo Falls in a loop...you won't miss a thing.- Kentucky Kingdom
- Jungle Jims at Kings Island
Rivertown was just adding in pavers, a new fence, and relocating a roller coaster entrance. What happened in Rivertown was more of a general spruce up. What we're talking about here is a complete, top to bottom retheme of the rides, buildings, and the general area. Two rides have already been repainted. Two rides have been removed. From there, some new signage, pavers, would be something that could certainly be accomplished in one off season, even with adding a new coaster. Removing that ugly water tower this winter is a relatively easy step towards that. Something tells me, though, that with the lack of action this off season in regards to pavers, etc, that bigger plans are in the works.- A diversion
The ERT is a superb benefit...where the vast majority of my DB rides are taken. Love the parks, love the atmosphere, love the rides, but I abhor waiting in line. I make it a point to avoid the very crowded days. Last year, an hour was excellent. Hopefully, as they did in years past, will make one or both weekdays an hour ERT.- Spirit Song line-up partially announced
I like the early announcement...so I know which weekend to avoid the park. Nothing against Jeebusfest, but the crowds are a bit much for me to handle. The real question is, will this be the last year that Timberwolf is used in it's current dilapidated state?- Flight Deck Removal?
Love Flight Deck...very fun ride. To me, though, it is simply not worth the time it takes to walk from one side of the park to the other for less than two minutes of ride time. Heck, even from Invertigo or Congo Falls, it is a haul. It is a shame that it is cut off from the rest of the park. I feel that will change here in the near future...one way, or another.- 2013 Season Pass
Good to see The Beast/DB combo back. Opening two different sides of the park last season was just a stupid idea. Bummer to see it back to 30 minutes.- Vortex to be retired soon?
