Our long, national nightmare is over. Bob Chapek has been fired and replaced by Bob Iger. The shocking shakeup was confirmed by Disney’s board of directors late Sunday. “We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” said Susan Arnold, Disney’s chairman of the Board. “The Board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the Company through this pivotal period.” https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/bob-iger-replace-bob-chapek-disney-ceo-1235438423/

https://www.wcpo.com/news/crime/mason/iphone-14-calls-911-when-users-ride-kings-island-roller-coasters iPhone 14 calls 911 when users ride Kings Island roller coaster MASON, Ohio — Roller coaster rides are setting off a new Apple crash detection feature launched in September that automatically alerts emergency services. The Warren County Communications Center has received six calls generated by iPhones while their users were riding a Kings Island coaster, said Melissa Bour, director of Warren County emergency services. Additional calls were made over the weekend, but Bour said the total number of calls would not be available until Tuesday. The new feature works on the new iPhone 14 and Apple Watches and is intended to detect severe car crashes. Sara White, a 39-year-old dentist, told the Wall Street Journal that her iPhone 14 Pro automatically called 911 when she went on Mystic Timbers at Kings Island. The wooden roller coaster is 109 feet tall with top speeds of 53 mph. “The owner of this iPhone was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their phone,” an automated voice says in the call to 911, before also providing longitude and latitude coordinates. Screams from others on the ride can be heard in the background of the call, the Journal reported. Kings Island has not immediately returned a request for comment. -

Found this from when we went to Sports Force Park at Cedar Point in May. Ohio people love waiting in line... taken at the Sandusky Sam's club. -

^ You said it man... at my job ive had people drive up to a sign that says "Use Two Lanes" and move into the lane everyone else is in, while the other one sits empty. Or ill be waving them over to the empty lane like a madman, theyll start to move over, then cut back. Thats better than the idiots that fly through at 30 mph, ignoring the flashing lights and 5-10 people standing there. Although my wife is one of "those" people too.. when I moved to a wide open lane at the parking booth at KI she's like "are you sure you can go there, no one else is there?" -

We went on a Friday in 2019 and the traffic was pretty bad to get in. But a lot of it is self inflicted by people playing follow the leader instead of using all available lanes. -

Yeah, the coaster is pretty lame. But theyre probably just trying to get as many rides in as possible to get started. The dark ride is allegedly Flying Witch from Rye Playland. -

Jack & Sally is a rare sighting but a long wait. Theyre only at the Halloween and Christmas parties as far as I know. We learned the hard way our first time and waited 3 hours during the party. This experience helped the next trip though when we wanted to see him as Sandy Claws. My wife waited as soon as they started letting people line up (before the party even started) and was 3rd in line, while I took the kids on a few rides and met up with her closer to the start of the greets.
