I don't see this being needed to drive attendance as much as it's needed to keep attendance where it was. If someone was on the fence about whether or not they should attend KI's Haunt, they might skip it because Kings Island/Six Flags has done a horrible job with promoting things this year. Yes, they can get a season pass with access to 40 parks for the price of 1 day at Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Dollywood, but what is there to entice them to come? There are 6 mazes that you now have to pay for and of which 5 are the same from the last few years. There are 4 "shows" — but actually one is an opening ceremony and another is a participation game show — with a fifth one that isn't advertised, even inside the park. As has been shared previously, it would take a more knowledgeable and competent marketing team to advertise the changes to the event well enough to maintain attendance.   Separately, I also wanted to share something I noticed on my visit to Cedar Point this weekend. They have some absolutely awesome Halloween shows up there that have lines comparable to some of their coasters (we waited an hour for a showing of Wake the Dead). Is there a good reason as to why Kings Island can't put on anything similar that might also draw a cult following? I doubt the budget would even change much to bring in something like Fangs After Dusk, which is more or less a rock n' roll live band put on by Cedar Point. Hot Blooded brought in its own sizeable crowds throughout its run, as did the street drum corps shows did throughout theirs. I don't think the "Kings Island is a family park" argument would work here either because Cedar Point has a show on the Main Midway (where literally all of the families are) with a 14+ age rating.

Where in the park are you buying these? I asked in Emporium about them later night and I got an IDK response. This is stuff that bothers me anymore at KI. They have the opportunity to make a sale but fail on there end. Sent from my SM-S936U using Tapatalk

At the very least maybe invest in walk around characters to engage with the public during halloween. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/04/23/photos-video-first-look-at-disneys-life-size-walking-baby-groot/

I'm willing to trade -  I have an extra of 38 (Racer) & 54 (WWC)... I need 42 (Festhaus), 56 (Queen City Stunt Coaster) & 57 (Boo Blasters) Separately I also have extras of card #'s 39-41, 43-45, 48 & 50 for trade.

What did you think about the zoo portion of SFDK? I feel like I don’t hear much about it and I think they have a pretty large collection of animals.
