Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
VaCoasters replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm planning on heading there the 2nd week of June and honestly if Phantom's is still closed I just won't go. That's the main attraction for me and with all the other negative things I've heard about the park this year I just don't think I would have a great time. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Well, June 9 was going to be my first day of 3 at Cedar Point. I need to find something now between Kings Island and Cedar Point. Indiana Beach maybe? -

It doesn't say whether they would be an extra charge or not, it just seems like they might be. Usually things like that are. I'll just give them a call and see. -

What all is included in your $40 wristband? I was looking online at their list of rides and attractions and they list a lot of things that seem like they might be an extra charge (VR room, laser challenge, etc). Are these things included? -
SeaWorld San Antonio Discussion Thread

I'll be hitting up SWSA and ZDT this Saturday as well. I was planning on getting to Seaworld around opening and then just staying until about 5 or 6 before heading to ZDT. Switchback is basically all I want to ride anyway and they have a coupon on their website for a few dollars off if you come within the last 3 hours of closing. -
Missed Opportunities

Not visiting Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach. My family used to take yearly trips to the Myrtle Beach area and my dad wouldn't take me to Hard Rock Park when it opened. I figured no big deal, I can try again next year. Well, next year never came. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Well it's still sitting in the parking lot right now so I think 2022 is most likely. -
It's not a bad idea at all to commute to Kings Dominion. It's only a little over an hour and it's all interstate. Historically, that weekend will be one of the busiest for the Williamsburg area all year but who knows how COVID will effect that. Personally, I would try to go through RIC. They're both technically about an hour away from Williamsburg but tunnel traffic can get miserable making RIC the much easier commute.

I'm going to SFOT and SFFT most likely on March 6 and 7th (Saturday and Sunday.) It really doesn't matter which day I go to which one. Does it matter which one I do which day as far as crowds are concerned? Additionally, I could go to SFFT on that Monday since they're open for spring break and I would just have to find something to do around town on Saturday. For context, I've never been to either park or even the state of Texas and want to hit as many rides as I can.

Bummer. I'm heading out there next month for the first time and was really looking forward to it. Oh well, it gives me a reason to come back. -
I was there on Sunday. The attendant on El Toro wasn't happy about it but she begrudgingly let us choose the magic next-to-last row. For the most part though, they're assigning rows and aren't giving much leeway. The crowd was horrible. I've never seen so many disorderly people in my life. I thought a Sunday wouldn't be too bad since most people would leave early for work or school the next day but that didn't seem to be the case. An entire group of people literally shoved their way up the El Toro line and employees said nothing. Teenagers were running around the park with no regard for anyone else. I heard of a couple fights over near Nitro but I never saw anything myself. Security seemed to be doing a decent job but they were just overwhelmed and understaffed. These factors definitely made for a Six Flags day but luckily rides on El Toro and Nitro can make even the most frustrating day worthwhile.

I think virtually all parks will be open as places like California and Virginia loosen their guidelines but I envision them having restrictions very similar to this year. Limited capacity/reservations, a mask mandate, certain attractions closed, etc. Hopefully we will see the return of haunt events because personally those are my favorite times to visit by far but I won't be too optimistic.

Wow I can't believe you left so quickly. usually the back corner by Storm Chaser is dead. You should of been easily been able to social distance your self there. I was there a few Sundays ago and got six zen rides first thing in the morning before anyone else even made it back to that part of the park. Personally, poor customer service would never stop me from getting a ride on a great RMC especially if I've already paid to get in.

While I won't be riding any rides with a mask on (or visiting any park requiring them) I certainly wouldn't worry about moving a mask around during the ride. If it moves, so be it. Further evidence of the futility of a mask on the ride. The mask is already detracting from the ride, sure not going to mess it up even more fighting to keep a mask on just right. You should probably reserve your judgement on riding with a mask until you’ve actually experienced it. Personally, I forget that I’m even wearing the mask. The experience feels no different that normal.
