  1. This truck is most likely on its way back from dropping a load of stuffed animals ot basketballs or some other form of prizes for the games. The games warehouses(there are 3 there) is right next to Flight of Fear and Firehawk behind The Racer, one of the warehouses is actually used in the fall for haunt, I think the maze if that is still a haunted house there. But anyways they use that service road to get there and back.I am not buying what you are selling! In all my years I have never seen a semi in that area, Second that is a container truck not something they would to transport merchandise!Again I'm not saying it wasn't delivering parts for the new attraction but it was most likely a games delivery. And believe it or not a lot of our trucks are containers especially the basketball trucks. Well i shouldn't say our anymore but I did work in the games department for 8 years and helped with many deliveries in my time there as well as driving all the service roads. That is the only way in and out for those warehousesFor semis anyways Containers are used to to deliver merchandise. They are loaded in an overseas port, stacked on a ship, unloaded in an American port, put on a train, arrive to the nearest train depot, put on a flat bed, and finally delivered to the point of destination. I use to clear these through customs when I worked in logistics and a lot of the containers I cleared were filled with toys. Is the announcement going to be streamed tomorrow night? (There were 13 pages added since I last logged on yesterday and I am work right now so I can't read through them all).
  2. I cant rember the exact year (maybe 2003 or 2004 but i was still in High School), it was extremely cold for opening day (maybe low 40s or upper 30s) that it started to snow. The park made the announcement shortly after opening that they would be closing at noon. My friend and I sprinted to The Beast where we road it in the front seat which was a big mistake. Our faces were so red when we got off of the ride. There were only 2 other people on the ride and they were sitting in the back. They spent the majority of the ride ducking down in their seats to dodge all of the snowflakes.
  3. Not all Reds fans love Rose. I have meet him two times and he was not very nice. I had the pleasure of walking around with Pete Rose and George Foster when I worked in security a few years back. Pete and George were there to give a Q&A at KI. It was a great experience and I got to talk to both of them candidly throughout the day. My favorite piece of the conversation was when Pete asked me if he should trade his 3 year old Bentley in on a brand new Bentley. My response was "You don't have to trade it in you can just give it to me". Pete and George got a good laugh out of that one. I would describe Pete as more cocky than anything, esp with his gator skin boots on and his matching ball cap!
  4. what was the yellow rollercoaster in the background at the end of the show?
  5. I am looking forward to visiting the park for the 1st time in 2 years!
  6. With my experience in the security in the past, that clown should have at least received a ban from the park.
  7. I got some off of ebay. Ebay is a good resource if you want older posters. Ebay is where I got my 1972 park map
  8. The guy served 90 days in jail and i do believe a 2 year ban from the park.
  9. I cant remember the exact year but myself and my friend ran or "raced" to backwards racer once the park opened. 3/4 of the way up the lift hill we came to a sudden jerky stop. While sitting there for 5 minutes we started to see various maintenance trucks pull up. Finally after 15-20 minutes the ride started and off we went. When we got back in the station we asked what happened and the ride ops stated that something went wrong with the lift chain. The backwards racer was closed the rest of the season after that.
  10. I agree. When i was a Guard in 2009-10 most of the calls for fights started out as an incident involving line jumping. One of the worst ones i was involved in was when a drunk grown man pushed a ride op down the stairs at Firehawk, I had to go to court for because of that clown too!
