  1. Hopefully, they will be more watchful on the queues. It's been suggested before that the park may not have every ride open during this period. If true, then maybe they'll delegate a couple extra hands to watch over the lines on the rides that are opened. That definitely seems more manageable than the midway. The park does have a knack for micro-managing the stations, so there's a skill that can be put to use.
  2. Well, life can be annoying sometimes. You can either complain about it or you can roll with the punches. Either way, you're not always going to get what you want.
  3. Which is the unfortunate part. Public health shouldn't be a political issue. Heck, it's not even an American issue. It's an everybody issue.
  4. Considering the webcam debacle(s), could you imagine what it would be like if that had downtime?
  5. True, but lately the term has been used as a negative, often in the same breath as "SJWs" and "snowflakes."
  6. And yet, some will claim such logic is "virtue signaling."
  7. Tower Gardens used to look horrible because of that. Yea, I wondering about that. The front gate doesn't seem to be any better.
  8. I'm seeing the option but once I click on it, it just goes to a blank page.
  9. Today, I witnessed a 40ish "country boy" throw a hissy fit in an Ulta because he was asked to wear a mask. Why can't people be like, "You know what, fair enough!" and turn around? Do these people not realize how ridiculous they look by acting this way? Anyways, bringing it back to KI, my condolences are to those working the front gate and thus forced to deal with such behavior this season.
  10. This may be a controversial opinion, but I think the area looked better without the Festhaus.
  11. Wait, did it? I thought it merely swooped by the track while you were leaving the station?
  12. Backwards Racer would be amazing, but I'd also be happy if they restored the ride to its original paint scheme.
  13. If an establishment asks us to wear masks, we should respect that policy instead of looking for childish excuses to break said policy.
  14. The biggest loss is that lava effect at the end.
  15. I've been listening to grumps my entire life. They complain about how "people get too offended these days" and downplay every single issue (that conveniently doesn't affect them) as people "whining." When people protest a business for rejecting customers based on certain kind of preference, they defend that business by saying "they have the right to reject customers based on their reasons." And yet, here I am, listening to the same resentful schmucks getting offended by businesses asking them to wear face masks, and claiming it's "injustice."* Sadly, I used to listen to people like this. As I've gotten older, I realized.. they're completely full of it. *For the record, I'm talking about people I know in person and those who are actively protesting the face mask situation -- as well as the grown men throwing temper tantrums at bookstores and other businesses -- not necessarily anyone here. I'm sure we all have a weird friend or relative like that.
  16. And yet theses same people rant about "outrage culture," "a business' rights to turn away customers over certain (often petty) circumstances," and "people needing special treatment."
  17. It was only a little over a month before the planned opening that everything shut down. So it's feasible that they already had a batch printed and have since decided not to hand them out temporarily due to the pandemic.
  18. I would like to see them keep the Boo Blasters building as a "kiddie" dark ride and build a new, more thrilling one (perhaps themed to PT) in another area of the park. That way it could be a little "scarier." But perhaps not too scary that families with older children can't ride it.
  19. Assuming the line will adhere to social distancing, Fast Lane doesn't seem feasible for the time being.
  20. Co-workers from my former job have been saying customers have been extra hostile lately. There's nothing like a bunch of grown men ranting about "wimps and participation trophies" before throwing temper tantrums in public because they are asked to wear the mask. If you actually cared about businesses as much as you say, you'd follow the rules those businesses establish, regardless of whether you agree with them or not. This is the compromise we all have to make to get everything back up and running. I myself hate wearing a mask. It's hot and sweaty, and I feel like I can barely breathe. But I do it anyway. Why? Because its respectful to those businesses, as well as to other people. If KI makes it mandatory to wear a mask, and you don't want to, then don't go. It's as simple as that.
  21. This made me think of Sheriff Woody. "Somebody's poisoned the water hole!"
  22. I almost never ride it anymore because of that. I'd love to see them abandon roping people off in the saucer. Micromanaging lines is unnecessary on most rides. Granted, when the park opens this year, it's possible every line could be super micromanaged for obvious reasons.
  23. For those interested, I believe footage of this ride in action can be seen in a TV documentary called "America Screams."
