I read on their social media that they are still trying to get the timing on the holding brakes right for the dangling effect, but its still cool to see an official POV. Short but sweet little ride.

How busy do you all think Pass Holder Preview Day will be this year? With it being later in the day? I still suspect it will be pretty busy seeing as it's PPD and with it being an evening thing, a lot of folks might just come through after work. But then I see it as because its later in the day it may not be as busy as past years. Knowing Kings Island fans though, it'll be busy.

I definitely agree that 18 year olds shouldn't be housed with grown adults, however, there still could have been a solution to keep things separate but equal. Maybe offer a housing stipend in the local hotels

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention when the kids go back to school, the adult workforce is needed that much more.

Another food place definitely would have been ideal. Like some of you, I like to treat myself on a rare occasion to an adult beverage, especially if its a specialty collab beer with say Sonder ( Blue Ice Cream/Strawberry Funnel Cake) or the likes. But otherwise, I don't care to spend $13+ on a drink that I can get much cheaper elsewhere. It will be interesting to see how much business this gets.

Looks like a good line-up for the year. Glad to see a pretty good mixture of stuff for everyone.

Imagine an adult beverages drink plan...

1) Sol Spin 2) Drop Tower 3) Delirium Sol Spin is just so much fun and easy to ride. I enjoy the fact that is just forceful enough to be thrilling but not so much to where its uncomfortable. Plus the overall feeling of being able to put your arms and legs out and fly is just awesome. Drop Tower has always been fun. Hardly anyone I know wants to ride it with me so its usually one I go alone on because it freaks too many people out. But I like it for the view and the awesome seconds of weightlessness during the drop. Delirium is just a good time. Honorable mentions: -Monster -SRR -Zephyr

It would be awesome if this became a trend across the CF parks that have the means to do it.

I also think its cool that the concerts are included with the cost of admission!

Its good to see them doing a variety of stuff for the year. Hopefully this season is good to them!

Would love to see more of these occur chain-wide in the coming seasons!

Invertigo will outlive your grandchildren's grandchildren mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Really hate that this seems to have become an opening day tradition at a lot of parks here in recent years. People can't seem to go anywhere anymore without the possibility of being shot or getting caught up in some kind of altercation. Sad. Makes me wonder what KI's opening day will be like this year seeing as there was an incident last year that was thankfully apprehended before anything harmful could occur. I wouldn't be surprised if parks start doing active shooter training regularly since this is becoming so commonplace.

Definitely needs to be more consistency and reiteration on what is and what isn't across the board. There maybe things "subject to change" at any time. We know this. But the overall base understanding needs to be crystal clear across the board because this kind of confusion simply isn't it. When you go from having a Platinum pass with minimal to no confusion at all to a "same but different" pass set up that all of a sudden seems to be giving less benefits but advertised to work similarly to the previous pass type...yeah. You get where I'm going. One can only hope there will be more clarity and formality chain-wide without so much "this benefit works here but not there".

Also New for 2025! "Toilet Plungers!"-an interactive guest experience where you can join the custodial team first thing in the morning by gearing up for a clogged up good time! Get the VIP treatment by getting behind the scenes tours of the park's latrines, waste systems and how the park manages backed up toilets and sinks! *May be subject to hazardous waste and must sign a waiver with blood type and a hair folicle. All Parks Passport does not apply*

Ugh. This would really be pretty terrible if parks can pick and choose if they will honor the GP+APP set-up. This wasn't a worry with Platinum. It costs a lot already to travel to said parks, pay for the pass with add-ons and then find yourself at the gate having to pay the $30+ parking fee. Gross.

Thunder Striker sounds like a crappy 80's hair band that never quite made it anywhere As for i305, it'll be interesting to see what kind of name they change it to. If it rolls into the jungle theme-"JuNgLe StRiKeR".....sarcasm of course...orr...

And I am in the minority here, but I hope she has some years left in her to stick around awhile longer. Especially with being the last one of its kind in the states. It is one of the more intense ride experiences at the park and personally, I feel, one of the better older Vekomas still operating.

Really like the vibe of the new logo! I might be a bit biased with blue and black being my colors of choice. But kudos to the work put in for the refresh!

There were definitely more merch options this past season for The Bat. I know they made a really cool 30th Anniversary mug that had little bats on the inside. They also had a 30th Anniversary enamel pin and of they had those outrageously expensive ( but cool ) socks. I think I remember seeing a t-shirt or two. Not a ton of merch, but more than I have seen in a minute.

Same. I've had that very same thought myself. Could be a number of things. Keeping a "vintage" stand-up around for posterity? Converting it to a floorless may not be worth the cost to popularity ratio? Or maybe they are planning on taking it out all-together sometime soon-ish. Anything could be possible I suppose.
