Coasting For Kids to benefit Give Kids The World is coming to Busch Gardens on March 23rd. More details (ERT, schedules, etc.) to come. "Give Kids The World Village is an 84-acre, nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families. The Village and its community partners provide children and their families accommodations in fully-furnished villas, transportation, tickets to theme parks, meals, daily entertainment and much more. Each year 27,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with a critical illness. Half of all children eligible for a wish through a partnering wish-granting organization choose to visit Central Florida and its collection of theme parks and other attractions. Our goal, quite simply, is to provide everything these deserving families need to make their trip the vacation of a lifetime. Since 1986, more than 165,000 children and families have had their dreams fulfilled in a whimsical Village unlike any other place on earth." I have had the pleasure of fundraising for and volunteering at The Village in the past. This is a world-class charity with a world-class mission.

Stopping through Orlando in a few weeks. Will have a chance to get 1 ride on each Fun Spot coaster. Any input on where to sit for each coaster? Front? Middle? Back?

I know we are still a ways away... But, when should we expect an announcement about an opening date for this coaster? I am guessing they are still aiming for opening day?

Has anyone done any of the World of Color Dining Packages? Is it worth it? Thinking about doing the package at Carthay Circle.

Has anyone heard if this coaster is supposed to be operational for opening weekend? I know it is a long way out, just curious...

Does anyone have a show schedule for the park?

How is the new stunt show?

Went to Kings Dominion for about 4 hours this (Sunday) morning...a few notes. 1.) Pass-members can get into the back of the park 30 minutes early (entrance moved to Dominator gate). 2.) Had 4 rides on I305 and 1 on Volcano by 10:35am this morning (park "opened" at 10:30am). 3.) Candy Apples (lots of them!), Singing Mushrooms and Floral Clock look GREAT! 4.) Paint on Anaconda and Rebel Yell (also new train logo and running lights) look GREAT! 5.) Park looked very clean, flowers were nice and the fountains looked pretty good. 6.) Ate a piece of pizza (same), panini (good) and caramel cake (good). 7.) Season souvenir cup was $10 with a season pass (99-cent refills)...cup was actually MADE IN AMERICA...shocking!! 8.) Finally walked through Dinosaurs Alive (FREE). 9.) The Crypt and Hurler were not open. 10.) The collectible pins are NOT available yet, another 2-3 weeks. If anyone has any other questions...let me know.

Not true for 2014. Pass members will get into certain rides at 10:00am.

It looks like there will be "passholder ERT" on I305 all year starting 30 minutes before opening. Does anyone know where to go to enter the back of the park to get to this?

Let us (wife and I) know if you want to meet up. Scott

Looking for some advice on a visit next Saturday (9/28). 1.) How long is the usual wait these days for the Safari Adventure? Is this something we should do first? 2.) We have never been to SFGAdv for Fright Fest. Which mazes are a MUST do? Which can be skipped? 3.) Do some of the mazes open earlier than others? 4.) Are any of the shows worth seeing? If so, do any run during the day? Thanks! I know time will be limited, want to be prepared!

Will be visiting the park on 9/28, a few questions. Thinking about getting a GOLD Fast Pass...worth it on a Saturday in late September? Are the meal vouchers worth it? How much do they save you? They are $14.43 each online. Thanks for the help!

When does Kings Dominion (Cedar Fair) start offering the rest of 2013 free with a 2014 season pass purchase? September?
