Truth Seeker

Terp, could it be your love for King's Island that is driving you to believe what you believe? I have given my reasons and shown my proof, you sir have not shown anyone your evidence. No matter how,"Spotless," your record is, facts are facts, opinions are opinions. Give me facts and my opinion will change. Edit: Prior to posting this I had not recently loaded the page, because of that my opinion was distorted. I have decided to leave this post up for documenting purposes.

If that is true then, why don't you just post your source? I'm not trusting you until I see actual evidence.

Terpy, I do not doubt that you believe he asked the banks. Your reason that, "He said that this CANNOT work without public sector banking," seems more like speculation to me. If you have a legitimate source, I will have no problem aiming faith at your statement, until then, I can not and will not.

Out of curiosity, do you know for a fact he asked the banks? Or is that just assumption?

I understand you are mad at the government, demand small government, dream for lower taxes, and are enraged with anyone who is involved with Washington but, if you take the time to do the math, this could be a huge benefit for Kentucky. It will only take 3.5 million dollars for KK take pay it's lease agreement, in the video it is explained the park will rake in 11 million dollars. If the park is one third as successful as predicted, the state will break even. The risk is not all that large. Eventually, the state could be generating an extra 11 million minimum a year. The initial investment may be large but, the long term financial gains are even larger.

Here are two more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkRlciCSss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYS7K8PVn4w

Heres a new video. I hope everyone watches and listens to it with an OPEN mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjG5GOzrWqI

I didn't realize you were familiar with the criteria for passing the state inspections. Oh that's right, you're not. And before you ask, yes, I am. Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, what are they?

The park was not even the same park the first time it failed, the park was completely different and the second it failed due to improper management. Ed has proven to us twice (Magic Springs) that he can successfully run a park. The fact they are postponing this represents that the politicians know it will not favor well with the public but, they are also aware of the fact that in the long term the park is expected to bring in millions of dollars of profits for the state and may I remind you, it's citizens as well.

^Some of the greatest bills ever passed were all disapproved in great numbers at first but, in the end they more than paid off.

Thanks guys for all the help. I know all the high or normal capacity rides should all be walk ons but, any idea on the wait for a low capacity ride like Firehawk?

Thanks CoastersRZ, does anyone know how crowded the first bobble head day was? Weather predicted in Mason for that today is a low of 41.

Does anyone have an estimate on how crowded it will be on Sunday the 24th?

If you have to explain it is a satire, that means its a good one.

^Are you telling me random fat, drunk, pieces of white trash didn't randomly come up and hit with a beer can? Oh well, then I'm sure they at least ran around the park naked, swearing like sailors, while running around punching people in the face at random? Oh, and of course I'm sure RIGHT NOW a group of hillbillies has just broken into the park, while riding a tractor and our planning to burn the park to a crisp. Edit: Apparently there has been some confusion. The post above is a satire and not serious.

That's like saying if one man were to punch another man directly in the face, the victim would not respond. If Kentucky Kingdom manages to become a force against King's Island, AGAIN. I'm quite sure King's Island will begin to lower their prices.

Does anyone have any idea how crowded it will be during the days of Oct 23 and the 24th? If i go I will be going during the day before haunt starts, if I do in fact go.

You have to understand that both times it failed it was under completely different management. Six Flags rarely put anything new, in fact they removed more then they added and still managed to survive for 13 years. The first time Kentucky Kingdom opened it was a small theme park aimed entirely at families. It was also very small totaling at only 9 acres. When Ed ran the park it was extremely successful and was even considered by some to be better than Kings Island. Not only was it putting a large dent in the mid west largest theme park's attendance, it was also causing a big decrease in revenue for Kings Island. As for state funding it's exactly the same as one business investing in another.

^Let's not forget what really fuels the amusement park industry, money. If he doesn't get any money he wont do it..
