Even when they DO add something I expect guest service to be top notch, Im sorry and anyone who wants can call me an a$$, but simply put I want/expect Pat and Will Koch era HW level guest service every time I come into a park that (when a passholder) I dropped as much on the pass as I did on my iPhone. Throughput.... throughput, throughput, throughput (safe of course)... is what I desire as well as proper "You pay a part of my salary so Im going to be nice, attentive, and efficient" interaction at food and drink stands or restaurants. Ask anyone who has gone to a park with me and they will say I am the NICEST person to the ride-ops and all other associates in any park provided the same courtesies are afforded me when we interact. The automated spiels mentioned being on some rides is a start.... yes I understand blocking, load/unload times, and the fact that more often than not its the guests that slow said load/unload/dispatch times down but I have no desire to listen to smalltalk over the mics. All the Sirens Curses and TTD2s and whateverelses dont cut it with me unless there is a minimum of BS attached to riding said coasters.

Thank you very much for this, this is the information I needed to make an informed decision this season on whether or not to attend that park.

Corporate has shown many times over they care far more about your $ than they do your/our thoughts and opinions. They tried it hoping to fet away with it, this one failed.

Exactly this. The Voyage is the one and ONLY roller coaster on the planet that, if magically placed side by side with SV, would make the decision hard on which to ride if I only had time to ride one.

Umm, not having to blow extra dough on Prestige to get all parks passport... which I would have with the jank stunt they pulled with KI Gold requiring Prestige to get APP... when all I really want/need is access to the parks I mentioned and maybe CP once or twice. This eliminates my requirement for both needless upgrades.

After seeing the new options, I am also happy to have not bought anything yet. The new Regional Gold will be perfect for me, considering all I will be doing in regards to SF this season will be KI and SF:Great America primarily with many trips planned for both and it ends up saving me a decent amount of money. Even if its only a couple hundo or less in savings once all my add-ons are placed, that will still drop the monthly or will open me up to getting things I may not get on the pass otherwise.

If there is anything left proper in this forsaken pile of a land, this suit will fail miserably. This is why there needs to be a penalty put in place of 10x requested damages if a suit like this is filed and the plaintiff loses. My thoughts, wont change them, dont try.

They could never, ever put a timer on a Freestyle machine, ar least not at any of the KI locations… has anyone actually taken time while in line to watch WHY the lines are so long? Because the people who need an instruction manual for walking and the kids get utterly baffled by a drink dispenser with more than 5 choices and the assembly line grinds to a quick halt.

As much as I hate to say this considering I USED to consider it my adopted home parl, WoF needs to go. The company with all of its current problems doesnt need WoFs problems, buuuuuuuut since I have a feeling FUN will wish to remain in that region and the choice would be WoF or SF/StL they will dump SF/StL given the choice. With the condition of their financials, I can most certainly see VF, MiA, and/or Dorney out the door as well. Now, with all that being said, I already envision Herschend pulling a bit of a Gary Story here with the number of expenditures they have been making in the past few years, so to me it is not something I see them being able to do in the very short term, maybe 3-5 years but does FUN have that long? My thoughts are "no", but Im spitballing and on my way out anyway so Im just putting thoughts out as a JAFO.

Exactly all of this, and @KI Guy, reasons 1 and 2 on your list. There is no roller coaster in the World at this point and time in my life that is worth more than a 30 minute wait (15 ish at KI simply because I could make the drive there every weekend if I truly wished to), and you flat dont get on Mav and SV in less than 30 without FL+.

This is why I continue to hold off and am still over 70% against getting a pass again, because ANY limits to the amount of times I can ride a ride with FL+ will kill any desire whatsoever for me to have one again. I know, I know they arent doing anything to FL+ YET, but I think we also all remember 11 and midnight closes and didnt think those would ever go away.

I am going to COS next May to visit my Mother, scout jobs and network, and attend the Thunderbirds demonstration at the Air Force Academy Graduation next year and Im happy to see you had a good experience at Elitch because I am planning on stopping in for a bit.

This is the 2nd most “2025”thing Ive read about this week, as in “Absolutely nothing at all that occurs in nature nor anything people will come up with in their unsound minds surprises me this year” thing.

They still have 3 weeks to announce any kind of pricing they wish to/feel the market will bear.

Now THAT is the kind of show Im talking about... THAT is what I want to see when I sit down for a show!!
