^ Don I hope they realize this with the number of complaints they probably get weekly. I was lucky when I went with my newly wed wife a month ago, that I didn't notice too many negative things. The only thing I noticed was unclean tables.

I have a feeling that low quality flags will keep Congo Falls for a while since they're making so many cut backs. They seem to be fine with older rides and not fixing them like they should.

After reading some of the comments today, what's the parks deal? Why do they have to cut back on so much stuff? Do they think the average visitor isn't going to notice some of these things? Makes me miss the Cedar Fair days from 2006-2024. All I can say is Six Flags, you wanted to merge so badly, now make the parks like they were when Cedar Fair was running the show. Bring back the Quality in things. That's what brings the guests back.

I normally go to Coaster Stock every year, but this year I'm skipping it because I'm getting married about the same time that they usually have it. Although I'm still following whether or not they're having it this year anyway. If they decide to water it down like they did with Coaster Mania, I'll be very disappointed when it comes to planning it for next year.

^If you request it, could they still make you a plastic card?

I'm excited to see this ride come back. I was just a baby when this ride was around the first time. I'm hoping they keep the guns working all the time so I have a chance to compete with my friends.

I would add a Floorless roller coaster for the families. I know nobody buys those anymore, but with the wider track and vest restraints, it could be a hit for Kings Island.

I miss the paper maps and brochures very much. I used to collect them. I still have a shoebox full of them. The last year I collected was 2018 before everything went paperless.

I wish I could react with an angry emoji. Stupid corporate greed.

You probably saw me. I am the guy in the grey sweater taking pictures of the first hill. I was taking multiple shots of the first hill of The Beast.

Great photos Chad!

I have to admit, I didn't see the backwards racer joke until today. That would be awesome If they brought that back, but the maintenance team would never allow it.

^^ Wow! Go David! I wish you the best and hope nothing stops you from achieving that goal. If you happen to take a picture of Adventure Express, I'd be happy to share it on my page that I run online.

Here's a question for Don. Did you ever in your 17 years working for Kings Island, ever want to work a season at Cedar Point? I bet you would have gained a lot of fame at America's roller coast!

I find this funny that we made a thread about which bathroom is the best at Kings Island. While I'm here, I'm going to say that the restroom by The Bat/Banshee is the best one in the park. It just seems like one of the least used restrooms in the park. I also enjoy a bathroom where some punk before me didn't decide to vandalize the stall. That's so annoying because most of the time, you can't latch the door for privacy and people coming in might try to walk in on you.

Is that bridge that the griswolds go under an actual bridge that goes to magic mountain?

I would also add Rick Astley in the shed. Could you imagine arriving in the shed and getting Rick rolled? Lol

I'm hoping to go as long as my friend can get on his phone in time to purchase them. My work doesn't allow me to keep my phone on me in the work zone. Unsecured area is a different story. But, by the time I go on break, they might be sold out so It's good that he has a job where he can step away and use his phone.

Well I don't know what would get me punched. But I do know if I went up to someone and said The Beast is better than Voyage at Holiday world, I would get laughed at! I actually mean that by the way!

That's nice of them to light up the Eiffel Tower as early as February. Maybe security did that to have some fun. I hope they take down the winterfest sign in front of the fountains soon. I think that's the only thing they forgot.

^ Maybe something like what Cedar Point received a couple years ago?

My idea would be more towards making the tomb raider building smaller since it's just a haunt in September and October. They don't need that much ceiling in there.

If arrows weren't becoming extinct nowadays, after the last lift Hill of Adventure Express, I would add a helix after that little drop that would just go straight into the station afterwards. Give more to the adventure right?

I think the fountains are there because of the nostalgia of Kings Island. If you remove those, there would be an uproar of complaints from the fans and enthusiasts.

Twenty-five years ago when I was in High School, I thought the introduction of the GIGA roller coaster was the coolest thing. I was excited to go around telling everyone what was happening in the roller coaster world. Now in days, people are like woopy do!
