  1. That is insanity. Now I remember why I spend as little as possible at the park. Thanks for gouging us Cedar Fair.
  2. I thought the ride was done well. The skeleton scene was pretty long and I was ready for a scare. Good job, I say.
  3. It looked like there was a led board under the main sign for I305. Did they use that for anything, and if not, did anyone find out what that'll be used for? Wait time would be a great idea for one of those.
  4. I remember loving that show in the Theater. My family would watch that thing at least once a visit. We couldn't get enough.
  5. I'm glad it doesn't matter now. I'll continue to visit with great voracity.
  6. On top of the existing federal, state, school and municipal income, property and sales taxes that have crept in little-by-little over the years, it would have added about $2 (+/-) per visit (multi-passenger cars not withstanding). I wasn't able to attend either council meeting due to school and work, but I do have a question. If this tax had passed, KI would have charged an additional ~2$ per visit correct. How would this have affected season pass holders?
  7. I noticed that one of the (what are these things anyway?) outside the front gate in front of the metal detectors appears to be from the Rome airport.
  8. Reminds me of when I caught a guy's car keys while in row 15 or 16. One must be alert whilst riding in the back two rows so as not to be beaten about the head and neck by various articles.
  9. Excellent TR. Thank you for reminding me that its not just about our day to day stresses and such. Thank you for sharing your life with us, hopefully it helped you out a bit. I'm glad you guys had a fun day, sounds like it was much needed. Thanks again.
  10. I did not once say that it is or was unsafe, I know for a fact that it is safe. I just don't think we should really talk about it, as a crew member I would appreciate it, not every one wants to be reminded of it by hearing or reading about it. You have the choice to read or not read every topic on here. Let those who want to discuss it do that and if you don't wish to participate, simply don't. I think it is park news and a worthy topic of discussion.
  11. It is park news. Yes the incident was tragic, but I don't think people should stop posting about this topic. If anything, the non KIC members that read this site can and most likely will be informed that the death had nothing to do with the ride and that Firehawk has been cleared to reopen, thus making it fit for guest use. Perhaps there is some gossip going on here, but I haven't seen any in this topic.
  12. The site is registered to Paramount Parks, Inc. What's that about?
  13. My guess would be something along the lines of "I'm glad Firehawk is open again and the state deemed there was nothing wrong with it." Why is this so important to everyone? Every time someone puts a "the" in front of a ride (where it shouldn't be), it's like the apocolypse. Get over it. I would have a serious problem if people put "the" in front of my name as I'm sure you would as well. It shows a lack of comprehension of the English language and also demonstrates poor research skills. Just as one would notice a mispronunciation on the news, many notice and are annoyed by this.
  14. Since the family declined to sign the waiver, can they sue if they choose and conditions allowing a suit are met?
  15. I remember back in the day my family went to a Pride day unknowingly (back when it was a full day event). This must have been in the early to mid 90s and we wouldn't have even known if someone didn't tell us. Rumorsmasher is right. What I remember from that day is that it was a normal day at the park, fun for everyone who was there.
  16. Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and looking. Thanks much for sharing. I love the fact that your mom goes with you. Some of my favorite memories are from times at KI with my dad.
  17. Meh, I've sort of lost count but I'd say I'm near 75 or so. I did ride with Violakat on her 100th ride, so that was cool.
  18. Isn't that area also used for motorcycle parking? I could swear sometimes I see motorcycles parked in there.
  19. I thought it was weird that he seemingly was operating the ride solo. Was no one else there to hit an E stop? I would like to know more about this. Good thing he dropped when he did, any higher and this may have been a very different ending.
  20. That's just Panda Express. It hurts my nose too, just doesn't seem to fit in.
  21. That sounds like a challenge to me!! Which is?
  22. Thanks for sharing. Short, sweet (for you) and I really enjoyed reading.
  23. The only thing Premier had to do with SOB was the design of the trains. ...And you forgot Vekoma with Face/Off, Runaway Reptar. I forget who built the Ghoster Coaster in '98. Sorry to disprove your theory. No worries. Just something I noticed and wondered if it meant anything.
  24. Another thing I noticed. KI's coasters seem to come in 3s, and by that I mean by manufacturer. Vortex, AE, and Flight Deck are all Arrow. FoF, BLSC and the old trains on SoB were Premier. Is that anything? Maybe I'm just reading too much into things.
