On Saturdays and Sundays, the entire park is open. No public area is blocked off, in fact they built a haunt inside of Mean Streak last year.

Just going out on a limb here.....what if it's not a dark ride. What if they re-do a kids area, move some rides, spruce up an area like Frontier Town, pavers placed somewhere, hotel improvements start, a ride or two that didn't previously have it, gets a Fast Lane entrance?

What if?

Well hotel improvements are already happening

What's started? When I stayed at Breakers earlier this year nothing was happening.

There have been small renovations, most will come this off season though for what I understand.

A vekoma jr. boomerang.

I honestly wonder if a kids area could be removed, 3 kids areas, 1 that I've never seen many kids around (Gemini Children's Area). They could move the entrance to Jr. Gemini into Camp Snoopy. They could expand that midway just a bit wider it does get a little tight during crazy times. And they could put a new family attraction in somewhere (not necessarily a dark ride).

It's some sort of building... the blue makes me think of the Blue Streak/old Pirate Ride area. That could just be my wishes coming through though.

And in typical Cedar Fair fashion, the teasing marketing is absent for mobiles (not that we are missing much). I thought Dick Kinzel retired. Silly me.

What shocks me is Cedar Point don't just build one great Kids area, heavy on theming, and then maybe a few family rides spread out:

Do you have kids? I bet not.

If you did, you'd realize why the Cedar Point kids areas are preferable to a consolidated kids area.

I really wish Cedar Point hotels were open when the park is closed. I was at the park on a Saturday and Sunday but hotels were closed MOnday so we couldn't stay on the island. Very disappointing if you ask me.

I do have kids, and as much as I see Kings Island in the future growing to maybe adding a 2nd kids park, I see that one great area is incredible.

Now saying that, I know why Kings Island always wins best kids park, in many ways its better than disney as its a great themed park for kids and their families.

Where to me love Cedar Points is great having so many choices, but not as well themed, except for a few things here and there.

Where I would love for Cedar Point to take on a challenge of bulding a more immersed experienced, showcasing a theme snoopy is fine but maybe somehting just for the point like Browns' Beach' hangout something to those effects.

What shocks me is Cedar Point don't just build one great Kids area, heavy on theming, and then maybe a few family rides spread out:

they have 2 kids areas, behind top thrill dragster and to the left of wicket twister.

There are three.

And how KI gets best kids area year after year fascinates me. It's very...instructive.

KI gets it for having some great rides, great coasters for kids, and I've even been to the other Cedar Fair parks, hands down Kings Island has the best coaster in a kids Park:

A few more rides in the current Planet Snoopy and yes it could be a park to itself:

Really? Rollo Coaster is a fantastic kids coaster in a kids park.

Lol what coasters does Kings Island's Planet Snoopy have that the other Cedar Fair parks don't have? Last time I checked Kings Dominion has a Woodstock Express, Carowinds has both Woodstock Express and Flying Ace Ariel Chase, and Canada's Wonderland has Ghoster Coaster. What coaster does KI have in it's kids area that is different from any of these other parks?

Surf Dog.

Even though many don't consider it a coaster.

I really hope he doesn't consider that the best coaster in a kiddy park.

Since he said kiddie park, I hope he's not been to Idlewild. Or Dutch Wonderland. Or Storyland. Or Scandia.

Isn't Magic Kingdom one giant Kiddie park? or Lego Land?

Check here for all the clues/teasers/info about 2014. Also, be sure to check out this thread, especially the last several pages, for some interesting speculation. At first this image I saw confused me since I believed it referenced something about the campground for 2014, however after reading someone's post on PB I now look at the teaser images differently. Could it still relate to the campground or could it be hinting at something more? Here's what PB user "Gatekeeper2013" had to say about it:

"Okay. Here is some food for thought.

As most of us know, the main rumor is for a dark ride (although we really have no idea) but I think I may have come close to cracking it: some type of a 3D dark ride.

Here is why I suspect this. In all the pictures, it is blurry, just like a 3D movie is without the glasses. Tony said that no layer on Photo shop could clear this up which could point to needing something else (them) to bring it to focus.

I am guessing it will be a ride like Toy Story Mania but most likely much better and more innovative as said in the conference call.

This is the best guess I have. What I am trying to say is that I don't think it has to do with what is in the image, but the meaning of the image: 3D."

If this turns out to be the case, then I'd definitely say this was an excellent way for Tony to tease people.

I suspect the attraction will be far better than the teasing. So far, I'm reminded of Sixties supermarket giveaways where you had to wipe the gamepiece with a wet sponge and the black obscuring mask washed away. Perhaps 1 of 87 housewives (that's who they assumed did all the shopping) won a small bottle of Joy dishwashing liquid. Oh, Joy.

Maybe Mr Ouimet will attempt to acquire the rights to certain franchise and it will be themed towards that.

I suspect the attraction will be far better than the teasing.

I sure hope so! It's as if they've given up on doing anything interesting because they know so many people will eat up whatever they throw out. It's borderline patronizing.

Yes, yes I know Cedar Point doesn't have to do any teasing at all, but I really do wonder why so many people are getting excited over blurry, likely completely irrelevant images.

Because it is all they're giving us, and it something to get excited over, I mean is there anything too get hyped over?

Yes. These "teasers" are overhyped.
