Idk if anyone else noticed this, but the clown posters hanging up in the 4D cinema facade, are the same ones used by Six Flags in their Freak Show scare zones, well at least at Georgia's

I received an email today from Kentucky Kingdom asking me to share the Halloscream promotional poster on all my social media, so of course this was the best place to start. I'm very excited for this event but I know it'll only continue next year if people show up and support it this year, so anyone who can please come. I loved this as a kid and I hope it's better than I remembered it.

The presale site says you’ll need a password provided in the August 14th pass holder announcements email, I’ve received that email from 3 different parks and none of them mention the password. They only talk about the official start of the flash sale on the 26th and the ride announcements on the 29th. I was ready to buy my passes today lol.

We also went tonight, in addition to some lights being out in strands or listed sections not being lit up at all, is it just St Louis or has every park started upcharging for regular dining pass menu items? We usually get macho nacho and this time it was a 2 dollar upcharge a piece for burritos. SFoG didn’t do this just 3 or so weeks ago at Frightfest: I understand the upcharge for things like the buffet, but regular menu items should be included in the dining plan. I know 12 dollars for 6 burritos isn’t much, but it is nickel and diming and adds up over visits.

We go every year on Black Friday & Saturday and it's never really crowded at all, it's one of the most peaceful times to go in my opinion.

Last year the only coasters not open were GASM and Blue Hawk, Lickskillet was the only section closed during HiTP so no skyscreamer last year either. This year could be entirely different of course

How did you go to Holiday in the Park when Fright Fest hasn't even started yet?

Speaking of Lightning Rod, has anybody been in the park to get some updates? I thought they should have been finished with retracking by now? I’ve been here all week and we’ve yet to see any person or machines or anything in the rides area

This is the calendar of ERT dates for season pass and it still has LR as the ERT for Saturday August 4th but that could be wishful thinking on their part. https://www.dollywood.com/themepark/Guest-Services/Early-Entry

Timesaver Unlimited gives you unlimited rides on Lightning Rod, regular Timesaver gives you one ride, unless you forego dropline and then you can go a second time.

Apollo's Chariot, it's just so boring.

When did they implement this rule? We have visited several times last year and twice already this year, and never have been asked to remove our glasses.

It was single train operations Yesterday. The park was wonderful at opening, we managed to ride every coaster from the 10 AM opening until about 12ish. The large amount of band and choral kids hit the park after that and it was a very busy day. The fact that the train closed the Metropolis section didn't help with crowds either as Justice League, SMUF and Reverse GASM were all closed after that.

That is correct, the online park map reflects this. https://www.kentuckykingdom.com/experience/park-map/

I think you meant Big Bad John at Magic Springs

We received ours last Friday. The instructions are: "PLEASE ENTER THROUGH THE BACK OF THE PARK AT THE T3 GATE. ADDRESS: SIOUX AVE & SENECA DRIVE, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.DO NOT GO TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE!! YOU WILL PAY TO PARK AND MISS THE EVENT!"

You say "More coaster names begin with the letter R than any other letter." Yet the Graph clearly shows the letter S has double the amount R does XD. I know that Roller Coaster is the most popular name, so the Graph seems to have an error

Yeah, I'm pretty bummed about the lack of midnight operating days this year though

How does Magic Springs do it? They have several great shows a year

Actually, looks like I finally conformed. I purchased an iphone on a Cyber Monday sale yesterday, for a few hundred dollars. It was reasonable and my phone is showing signs of a slow impending death. I just opened my email and the BAFF was not listed for Saturday. I think I'll have to do as Josh suggested and call guest services, but that involves being social and not lazy. Edit: I contacted guest services and here was their reply: This Saturday you have bring a friend for 1/2 price and there is bring a friend for free on Sundays with your 2018 pass. I just looked at my pass benefits and it says the same thing. I SWEAR that we got an email saying BAFF was anyday BUT apparently I misread that, sorry if I gave misinformation. They did just add bring a friend for 9.99 for the Dec 1 and Dec 8, maybe they will keep that going for future Friday nights. We used our BAFF passes last Saturday, on our benefits page it's listed as "Bring a Friend Free any one day November 18- December 17"

My first Arrow was the Wabash Cannonball at Opryland

We're currently at Dollywood this week too and we had the exact same operations snafu. The only other RMC We had been on is storm chaser so we knew that the restraint system was touchy and at Kentucky Kingdom I'd always have to nudge it down a tiny bit for my gf. The moment I did that on Lightning Rod, a bitter woman screamed at me and made them reset the bars on the whole cart. Needless to say we were a little angry. She informed us that it was for my gf's safety but my gf said that the second time felt less snug than when I helped push it lol
