It would be nice to see the breakdown in property, school, employee income taxes paid for by KI & employees. While I cannot completely disagree with those who had homes in the area prior to 1970 or those who have purchased homes before the inception of Fear Feast/ Halloween Haunt, if those same locals could see the financial benefit (aka- $$ they have not been or currently responsible for due to the park incurring those costs) it may change their perception. But on the other hand- I have many friends/ family that are near airports/ train tracks. When visiting I have made the comment that I could not deal with the noise. Their response was the same- we are so used to the noise, it's hardly noticed anymore.

Vortex removal is certainly a planned event unlike SoB, Wildcat at CP in 2012 or KD's Volcano. I would expect to see activity (i.e. stakes in ground) in a few years. A bigger sign something will be done with the area is if the station house remains in some capacity.

Have fun all & take lots of pics!

You are correct. I should have put completion of the tower light testing for WF seems to have coincided with the cams coming back online. I hate it when I forget it's crazy important for posts to be spot on for everyone to understand.

I was born in 73 and makes me feel super old

It's ok to date an enthusiast, don't date a fanboy. i.e.- enthusiast- yes downtime sucks, but rides can go down. fanboy- SoB was NOT rough! YOU CAN'T PROVE IT WAS!! enthusiast- Ohio is lucky to have two great parks! fanboy- CF only cares about CP & not KI!!

I can remember Raptor's opening day that was cold & rainy. Getting off Magnum our faces all felt & looked like we has a deep severe acid facial performed.

Well played......

Temperatures & weather impact how a ride operates. Consistency is the key with the decision of what ride operates. The park can't advertise a ride operating, but then not have it run due to colder than anticipated conditions.

If he has a valid lawsuit, I wonder if Mystic Pizza (est. 1973) has one against him too? https://www.tripsavvy.com/mystic-pizza-connecticuts-most-famous-pizzeria-1600235

With all the conspiracy theorist negativity over a simple webcam its mind blowing how anybody became an enthusiast before the advent of webcams.

Knowing that CF is a publicly traded company, the funds necessary to create a self insured OCIP for every capital project would show up on quarterly reports.

Purchasing an OCIP for Orion's construction, KI would not be considered "self insured" for the project. If the park says the issue is with internal software, we have no reason not to believe them. Conspiracy theories run rampant with everything due to social media. From 9/11, to vaccines, to fluoride in the water, the crap some come up with is quite disgusting and often take good people or businesses down. All it really comes down to is ego. Some people have this incessant need to be right that they will literally make stuff up.

KI would not insure outside contractors that are not employees of KI. Also- KI has not taken "possession" of the ride yet. "Possession" would take place after the ride has been tested & then approved by Ohio Department of Agriculture. Up until then, the ride would not fall under KI's umbrella. Now if KI was under CF's umbrella when SoB was being constructed, that may be a different story & a great question.
