Oh sad! I'm guessing that's the food location right next to Piraten so I'm glad it didn't spread and hurt the Megalite! Also fun fact, we ate in that restaurant on our last visit to the park last year.

Robb and I have not personally been to the park, but we have many trip reports from it on the main forum if you check out the thread all about it!

"I can't believe it's not Manta"!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Love it! Great TR!

^I found it way more than mildly interesting! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Super interesting numbers and economics at play here.

Rumor is there are some high up California government peeps out in Florida, checking out the parks, and putting something together for your terrible governor who hates parks!

^Looking forward to it!

^Except Knott's is known more for their food and atmosphere than Six Flags is. Six Flags is a rides park plain and simple so I don't think that model would work well for them. I actually feel for you guys out in Cali and really hope the governor looks at the science and opens up outdoor parks soon!

^Scroll down to the very bottom.

I think it's very important for the adults to 'ride a little different' than you used to when you're riding with kids and especially with kids who have never been on a certain ride before. I took many a bruise and nausea to make sure KT was safe and comfortable when riding stuff. I think you just kind of have to put up with it but know that you're not alone.

Great TR! I agree it seems like right now would actually be the best time to visit.

It's so weird seeing the park map like that, but at least a half open park is better than a closed park!

^Showing as an animated GIF for me!

^We have friends of friends that were there this weekend and left due to crowds and minimal masks and social distancing.

Yomiuriland is really trying hard to stay relevant during the pandemic. They're offering a work from the park plan! I really like this idea! https://soranews24.com/2020/10/12/telecommute-from-a-ferris-wheel-at-this-japanese-amusement-park/ Theme park adapts to the new normal with special remote work plans for visitors. Ever since the pandemic turned everyone’s everyday lives upside down, businesses have been looking for ways to stay afloat while workers have been looking for quiet places to telecommute outside the office. This perfect storm has led to karaoke joints, coffeehouse chains and restaurants readjusting their services to cater to the needs of the teleworker. Now, another unique location has opened up for those who want to work from home away from home: Tokyo’s Yomiuriland amusement park. Yomiuriland’s new telecommuting campaign, called “Amusement Work“, lets people work from a couple of different sites around the theme park. The first site that’s opened up is a poolside location, which comes complete with tables and deck chairs. Yomiuriland will be providing power and Wi-Fi throughout the area so telecommuters can use their laptops and devices to work with a view that creates the feeling of being at a tropical resort. Those who really want to reap the benefits of being at an amusement park will enjoy working from the Ferris wheel, which allows you to rent a private gondola for an hour, with pocket Wi-Fi provided. One hour on the ride gets you four laps of the wheel, so you’ll have plenty of chances to look out and enjoy the view from the top. Reservations for Amusement Work are limited and can be made online at the official Yomiuriland website. Tickets cost 1,900 yen (US$18) per person on weekdays and 2,000 yen on other days, and include: admission to the park, use of the poolside area (with one table, two chairs and two deckchairs), power, Wi-Fi, a one-hour ride on the Ferris wheel, free parking, and a free towel ticket to use at the “Oka no Yu” public bath, located just outside the park. Up to two people can share the poolside area and gondolas at the same time, with the price of a shared ticket costing 1,800 yen per person on weekdays, weekends and holidays, and the park will be accepting telecommuters from 15 October. Yomiuriland suggests bringing friends and family along for the day so you can get some work done before meeting them afterwards to enjoy the rest of the attractions. Whether you head out to the park for work or for play, or both, one thing’s for sure — attending a Zoom meeting from the comfort of a Ferris Wheel will make for a very memorable meeting.

I had not been paying attention to lagoon getting a new coaster. Looks cool. Somewhat out of the way from the normal park though!?

Like others have said I wonder if your friends were confused or just very unlucky. Almost no one can get Fast Lane at CP this year so if you have it, it's amazing! You'll definitely want it at Kings Island.

^I think it seems a bit expensive for what you get. Especially because it's essentially trash!

^That's because the poor Californians are starved for parks!!!!

This is the winning suggestion right here!

I feel like I'm the only one who watched the video and now has the song Apex Predator from Mean Girls stuck in their head!!!

Thanks for the detailed trip report Adam! We're looking forward to checking out the Halloween stuff soon.

Thanks for the report, looks like a decent event with the little California is letting them actually do.

I really hope they're just throwing candy at children! I think they should launch the candy across the park with a catapult from InvadR--Halloween done Viking style! They could call it the "candypult." THIS. All of this!

I'm glad they finally put something up now that it's been closed a month.

I really hope they're just throwing candy at children!
