idk looking at the Cedar Fair press release it doesnt look good for ki, there is absolutly no mention of the park in any part of the release, i think it will be a general improvement and minor improvement year unfortunatly but we might need a year like this just to make ki more of a Cedar Fair park than a paramount park, and i guess the bright side is an off year like this may mean a big year the next year (2009!) so i guess all we can do is hope and wait!

yes ur right, the job i wuz given wuz suppose to be for those 18 and older but i wuz still given it!

um well bc im a minor and a supervisor i can say that they havnt and i kno of atleast four other minor supervisors in my area!!

i dont mean to put a damper on the rumor but isnt there a concert this summer in timberwolf?

nope gone all weekend, oh well maybe another time! but ive already riden it at geauga and its amazing

At the 2007 general training the returners were told that anything saying paramount was not permitted to be worn for the new season.

yup i have heard feb. 3rd! i got my thing in the mail the other day, this is great news!

ya the thing i got for food service said to check to make sure you had "P" rehire status

NO ur wrong those you buy FUN get units of stock. Why do you think its called a stock market? and yes they probably got nothing out of the court battle but I am sure that money is coming from some sort of emergency fund or insurance benefits.

Someone on here (i dont know who) said that CF was a publicaly traded corporation. They were half right CF is a Limited Partnership and yes they do have stock on the NYSE but what makes them different from a regular corporation is the way they structure their investors and their SEC filings. So no we do not now how CF spends all their money just most of it. And as far as the SoB accident repairs I am sure KI and CF both have emergency funds for stuff like this, also insurance, and the damages they received from that court battle back in 2000. So it is my personal opinion that the 10 mil. will not be used for SoB repairs, instead for a new major thrill ride and updates to the park as the press release from CF hinted.

This is the first topic I have started but I thought this was interesting and timely with the new year and I am also a Lakota West Band member and I will be a Senior next year! Lakota West band begins Rose Parade fundraising BY SUE KIESEWETTER | ENQUIRER CONTRIBUTOR WEST CHESTER TWP. - The countdown begins today for the Lakota West Marching Firebirds, who have become the first high school marching band in Southwest Ohio to be selected to march in the Tournament of Roses parade. But getting to the 2008 event will cost close to $1 million. Band members and supporters will gather at 10:30 a.m. at Champp's to watch this year's parade, and at noon they plan to welcome the official Rose Parade flag with a drumline escort. Then, the yearlong race begins to raise enough money to perform in the 119th Rose Parade. About 1 million people a year gather along the 5.5-mile parade route in Pasadena, Calif. Another 350 million people worldwide watch at least part of the parade on television, according to Rose Parade officials. "It's really thrilling. It's the dream of every band in America to represent its community in the Rose Parade," band director Greg Snyder said from Pasadena, where he is meeting with Tournament of Roses officials about next year's trip. Snyder estimates there will be 325 band members plus 75 chaperones on the weeklong trip. Band officials estimate the trip will cost close to $1 million - or about $2,500 per person. Much of that money will come from band members' families. Corporate sponsorships will be sought and other fundraisers will be held. Snyder said the band has applied to march several times in past years with no luck. Then last spring, the Rose Parade committee contacted him and asked the band to apply. They were notified in November that they were in. Junior Sarah Pride, 16, already is planning extra rehearsals. "I think we will be so prepared, we won't have to worry about being scared," said the West Chester Township teen. It took some research by band parent Gary McClimans to determine that Lakota West was the first Southwest Ohio band to march in the Rose Parade. Tournament officials told him that records going back to 1950 show that no other Southwest Ohio high school band had played. Before that, nearly all the high schools in the parade came from California. Rick Shively, fundraising co-chairman for the Upbeat Club, a band booster group, predicts raising money for the trip will be a big challenge. "But participation in the Rose Parade goes beyond the particular students involved. It's a point of pride for our entire area, and we have no doubt that the people of Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio will make this dream a reality," Shively said. In the meantime, Snyder is in Pasadena today, scouting. "We're down here talking with everybody about next year," Snyder said. "We're checking out all the venues. We're looking at all the things we want our kids to see and do so we'll have the perfect trip for our kids next year." E-mail suek1@fuse.net

I think the main gate has needed renovation for a while it is a boring and dark entrance to a great park!

ya the police have had problems wit abandoned houses having copper wire stripped from them!

Well the article is right if they can extend nick to all their parks they will be more succesful than with the peanuts. (sorry snoppy!)

and if you bought and '07 pass (which i didnt bc i work there but my family did) they gave you temporary ones now why would they do that if they weren't changing their name or logo or both
