So is there going to be a NYE party at the International Restaurant or are we shutting it down at 10pm???

Christmas Turkey Sandwich from the Brewhouse. It was good however a bit over cooked or the oil needs changed:

09/28/24 will always be the day the park got rid of the master of dispatching.. RIP. 07/27/16 - 09/28/24

More demo / work being done at Timberwolf Theatre:

Just based off personal experience visiting two competing parks that are only an hour away from each other. The park with the most rides / coasters running had a higher attendance. Here is a trip report from visiting both KD’s Winterfest and BGW’s Christmas Town:

The double helix on The Beast. What I love about wooden coasters is that each ride feels slightly different from the last!

There was a survey marker spotted near the exit of Boo Blasters earlier this season:

Great photo!

On a serious note, trying to further decode 2026. I don’t think we will be getting a coaster at all. For one, coaster is omitted from the list of park additions amongst all the parks within the chain: Also Ride Entertainment Systems and Zamperla was listed in the commencement of work. So I’m guessing we’d get a flat thrill ride from their lineup? https://rideentertainment.com/sales-home/ https://www.zamperla.com

A family launch coaster across from a family launch coaster (Backlot) will go well with our pair of B&M hypers.

It is confirmed she got the job via her new title on X: https://x.com/zpop7 Congratulations Elizabeth!

I heard rumor today that KI’s very own Elizabeth Nadeau was promoted to a digital marketing position in the Midwest region. She will oversee KI as well as WoF.

Welcome to KIC!

Magic Kingdom. The level of detail at Disney Parks is incredible. Also, it would be nice if Kings Island had more ticketed events. For the most part it seems they do one event a year. Coasterstock being last season and this year being the ACE spring conference. Once you have a decent amount, if not, all the season pass add-ons, there is really nothing else you can do to elevate your day at the park other than maybe purchase some snacks and souvenirs. KI doesn't offer behind the scenes tours, no After Hours, no dining with Peanuts Characters. I'll beat the dead horse of KI should also increase their season pass price to enhance the guest experience in the park overall.

I would beg the differ. Giga Coaster, and Water Coaster were very much desired additions by the majority here. The park answered with Orion and River Racers. As far as what our expectation was and what the park delivered however, is a different story.

Anything new implemented by Cedar Fair usually has a rough start. Prestige passes, All season dining plan, ect.

I guess in a sense this now a decoding thread. The fact that a lot of the survey markers found have been in Coney Mall I’m assuming this will be the area that gets this addition. Without having to demo much these spots are were it would likely go?:

If done tastefully. I think DC comics would be a welcomed replacement of Action Zone.

Welcome to KIC Alex! Id like to see a big log flume in the old Vortex spot. Something like Steel Vengeance in Action Zone would be a great addition as well.

Are you proposing a Giga or something like KI’s “Giga” for SFGA?

Its current location isn’t bad, it just lacks seating. They really should reuse the straw bales from haunt as seating:

A multi record smashing GCI wooden coaster. Son of Beast 2.0?

The International Restaurant can then also be renamed to Mike’s Budget Buffet for Winterfest. ..On a serious note with the upgraded food offerings we have had this season. I’m hopeful that the buffet will follow suit.

Is the desert included with the buffet this season?
