    Which brings up a point not previously mentioned here. During Tuesday's conference call, an analyst asked Mr. Kinzel about Qbots. Mr. Kinzel at first misunderstood the question, thinking it referred to Cedar Point's VIP program. Then, after someone told him what was being asked, Mr. Kinzel indicated that the company is studying the implementation of such a program, and will do so if it in the best interests of the company and the guest experience.

    That would be great! Aint nothin' like walking right up and getting on a ride when the wait is 60mins or more :P

    Obesity Epidemic Leads To Bigger Rides

    Let me tell ya there are just some rides that were not well thought out when it came to comfortability. Such as Mr.Freeze(st.louis) I had to shift my legs sideways to get the buckle to lock. Now two trains before me I seen a taller/heavier person get aboard and no problems. I believe the seat belts that lock to the lap bar are various sizes it's like there's no standard/specs to go by. I remember the SOB was that way at first my complaint with that was the stupid foot brace. Maybe people should shrink or loose weight? I firmly believe that the tolerances on their spec charts need adjusting just Little. I know a few maintenance men that work at undisclosed parks and they confirmed that certain standard operating procedures are overlooked :blink:

    I wouldn't mind if we got another stand up coaster, we need one that would kick Chang's behind! I'm so sick of hearing how awsome that coaster is I've rode it and didn't understand what all the hype was. But anyhow something snaking through the woods near Top Gun we could call it The Mamba :lol:

    My concerns are the karts and that nice chunk of land near Top Gun we could utilize that for something cool B)

    I've seen a decline in action at the skyflyer as well.

    I live in the Chicago area and have not missed a summer since 1979, it's our family getaway spot.

    We've been to countless others and K.I. has the right stuff even spite of the parks ups and downs.

    I remember we went to Disney World back in the summer of 2000 second week of June I believe we had such a crappy time we came back and went to K.I. and got our moods in check sounds crazy huh :D

    That was a joke trailer me and "the Klockster" made awhile ago. The trailer was hosted on KIC and youtube. You have no right to put it on photobucket, nor is the trailer shown in its entirity.

    ......sorry bout that won't happen again :( but nice work I really liked it even though it was a joke to you!

    Last season some people tried to run up on me and my boys while en route to The Beast and I had to trip one of them up but the son of a gun ran on through the queue anyway so I told the ride op. People are gonna start taking control ourselves, vigilantes are uniting! :angry:
