I don't think I've see a production of this quality for any other park.
Those that created it deserve a round of applause.

Six Flags Over Georgia is actually doing their event that night too.
Check out the website as it's pretty cool.
Jr. Vasquez is spinning, as well. Kelly Rowland and Kristine W. are performing.

that photo of the sign looks sweet.
and my bad my memorie is patchy like that.
Yeah, I used to love looking at that sign back in the day. I actually kinda miss it. With respect to your memory, don't worry about it.
Tom, who remembers things from 10 years ago vividly, but can't remember what he did 10 minutes ago.
Wooferbear ... Who remembers things vividly from 30 years ago but can't remember what he did 3 minutes ago. <G>

The Bat remains my favorite coaster of all time.
Of all the rides that have come and gone, The Bat is the one I miss the most.

Uhhh, because it was a horrible waste of money for the park. It continues to be a money pit.
uhh, so because you don't enjoy Son of Beast, it was a waste of money? hmm... and besides top thrill dragster can be considered a "money pit" too.
No I consider it a money pit because IT IS A MONEY PIT.
Certainly you understand the huge amounts of money that have been sunk into this ride. Honestly, many other rides have been removed (around the world) for costing far less.

Perfectly Said?
Why to people complain?
Uhhh, because it was a horrible waste of money for the park. It continues to be a money pit. One can only imagine how much was paid out to settle the injury claims on the coaster, to say the least.
And by the way, is it really not right to complain when the topic at had is: "Is Son of Beast Your Favorite Coaster?, Is it one of your favorites, or least favorites"

Oh My Gawd That Is Hysterical!
Someone was very, very creative!

Actually, I can not think of a coaster that I absolutely hate more in this country.

This is devastating news for Disney fans. I prey for the cast member and the family of relatives and co-workers. So sad just sad.
WofferBearATL - it's been a long time since I have seen you post and it is good to see your OK and hope you will join us more in conversation.
Yup, will do better. Right around my B Day work got crazy. Then my ex/best friend was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Sooo, my attentions have been directed away from on line activities. Things are quieting down now so should be easier.

Reminds us of how far we have come as a country in such a short period of time. Still a lot of room for improvement but still a lot of movement on civil rights issues.
-
An employee, at that. So very sad.
Very Sad.
Walt Disney's monorail system really is an amazing thing. I'm kinda surprised that was able to happen?

...and defense counsel, insurance companies and their employees--from paralegals to executives to clerks...
No, I get more jaded by the year.
I spend thousands and thousands of dollars every day.
I would bet that as few as 10% of the injury claims I settle are legitimate.

Ultimate Lowest Cost.
It rules the industry and keeps ambulance chasers employed.

In Paramount days, each beer location had its own license and you could not take beer beyond the patio of each establishment. Cedar Fair got that all changed. Yes, KI has beer. It always has, except right after the Black Sunday incidents. Not selling beer greatly hurt park profits, and the decision not to was reversed.
Not selling beer has a huge effect on park profits. The year that KI discontinued beer was the first year that food service supervisors did not get their year end bonuses.

Uh, when were you at the park last?
The ride has not run since the 2007 season...and hasn't even been on the park map.
That is what I am saying Mr. Interp.

Until...you hit....the bottom.
Imagine straddling a bicycle seat, not unlike riding Chang, Mantis or King Cobra. You rise up, tilt forward, fall quickly, and then stop abruptly. The women mostly giggle in giddy delight. The men mostly go...oh...my.....uh....goodness!
Never had a problem with it. It's actually my favorite drop ride. The part where ya tilt forward is actually the best.
I believe most horror stories of Six Flags arise from mid-season visits with crowds and heat. I've been to Magic Mountain twice...03 and 05. Both times I visited the park for two consecutive days, and both times the two days varied greatly in quality. One day Goliath would have all three trains running...the next it would have one, with a 3+ hour wait. The same type of things happened with Scream, Batman, X, Riddler, etc. Waiting in a three hour line for Deja Vu in the LA heat in mid-July will thoroughly upset anyone. But, nevertheless, the "good" days at the Six Flags parks I've been to have been phenomenal.Deja Vu at SFOG is rarely a problem with the wait. It rarely is running.

It can be argued that if insurance companies did not routinely settle such claims, there would be far fewer of them. . .
The sad thing is that it is generally a matter of the lowest ultimate cost.
If it were up to me, I'd fight every bogus claim.
But, it's the bean counters that decide what is monetarily ok to fight and what is not.

^^Ohhh....just like KI ads never featured Thunder Road!!
And either way, the voices are different...
Sorry, have to disagree with you.
Similar voices and same tag line.

Our world has always been what some see as all screwed up. Take comfort that in this case the park won, as it appears it should have. It is not always thus. The reverse is also true. Those injured due to the negligence of others normally recover and win any litigation. Some don't live, and some heirs or the injured do not collect when they should have. The system is not perfect. And if you have ideas on how to make it better, or can help make it better, there are many opportunities to do so, from running for local office to becoming a lawyer, judge, etc., to not trying to get out of jury duty (and not complaining about the judicial system if you do try to get out of it....if all the good people evade jury duty, who is left?)
Ambulance chasers running ads during Jerry Springer and on morning TV are a huge portion of the problem. I would venture to guess that more than 50% of the injury claims that I settle on a daily basis are not injuries at all.

It's actually a play off of last years adds.
There was an Asian actor that used very much the same voice.
I think that people in the Six Flags market will understand.

President Obama Visit to Coney Island in This Labor Day
in Coney Island Central

Great Publicity for Coney. I'd bet that his daughters would have a great time at the park but I imagine the security would make that prohibitive.
