still not seeing any news (at all, not even on sites that track major company layoffs) saying there has been any layoff other than at Corporate Level the other week - with analysis saying that now the individual Park Presidents will be direct reports up to the highest level folks. so . . . not saying y'all are *incorrect*. . . but I will have to wait and see and will be more willing to believe it when I see news on it as to how these Corporate cuts are affecting individual parks. (and yes, SFStL has been firing lower level employees whom have been commenting negatively online - but that seems restricted to those who are commenting about the company they work for. Not saying that's right of Six Flags, but those are unique situations and not a mass layoff) guess I just dont' really care what goes on behind the scenes, as long as it's invisible to the consumers, and I just don't really think the average consumers are going to notice these things that y'all seem convinced are going to tank/destroy/flush Six Flags. they did great during the Pandemic years 2020-2021 (better than Cedar Fair). . and maybe I'm just spoiled in that the Texas parks are run so well? but I just do NOT see any need to "panic" or go all "doom and gloom"

my Boss is in Asia (I direct report to someone based in Singapore), and has been for over a decade. when i have an issue that needs immediate attention? I reach out via whatsapp and we get a decision right away. you're insane if you think not having someone ON SITE for decision affects anything at all. but I say again: I'm willing to wait and see how it affects individual parks before I start reacting as if the sky is falling and the Six Flags Corporation is imploding.

Just got back from the park today, my first time at a park during the Christmas season. The park was gorgeous. I also much enjoyed FLY and Rookburgh after dark this time. Early this year, the lighting seemed very basic with the old bronze light theming. Today there was a ton of red and blue lighting, plus great fog/steam coming from the tunnels. Really made for an amazing night ride. I'll post a TR when I'm back in Belgie, with some bonus German Christmas market content

Yup, was gunna finally go last weekend but saw Sandy's was down. Given the price I did say I wont go unless all the coasters are at least open. Surely this was the case for a while and I just wasn't thinking to check but oh well! Glad to hear its will likely be some time, I wont really bother looking till probably 2022

^ agreed. .the book is fantastic!

Looking for the perfect Christmas present? I will be doing a special book signing event for Kings Island: A Ride Through Time, the first-ever Kings Island history book! See you all at Kings Island on Monday, December 20 from 6-7 pm at the KI Collections gift shop!

That's what I was alluding to beyond the FITH rebuild project, I don't know much about it other than it seems to be happening. Exciting times for the future of SDC!

Fake news. Its winter on Lake Erie. Here:

This sounds like a story I heard on the news last night, the employees of the Candlemaker plant in Mayfield are hiring attorneys and are going to sue the company for not allowing them to leave when the storm hit, seriously an EF4 tornado is bearing down on you and you want to go outside, if the company let the employees leave there would have been more than the 8 unfortunate deaths from that company.

Well. What's the point of reservations there then? Capacity caps were always an issue, but seldom (never?) hit before the reduced capacity during this pandemic. But the whole point of reservations was to get in under the cap and guaranty entry.

That’s why we didn’t do season passes on our “every other year” plan. We live in Cincinnati and alternate with KI, but this year we are skipping Dollywood until they get their act together. And I love all these people saying “Dolly needs to know what’s going on” LOL Like she cares about the day to day running of the business venture she’s a part owner of!
