Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Ah 1999. The debut of the McDonald's themed coaster. Now that's about the funniest observation I've heard in a long while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Someone please explain what the chants meant? Was there some sort of sponsorship? WOW!! Now for the first time in my life someone has posted something on this board that made me "feel" old! i will second that. As far as "supressing" goes, I don't remember completely, but on several occasions a few years back I remember people trying to get it started and the ride ops trying to quiet everyone from saying it.

CedarPointer Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can't imagine it isn't really annoying for them. And it might lead to those stupid "games" where people try to stand up when their end of the ship is in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I also like the sign...it might be considered simple by some but I think it has "character". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The sign fit perfectly in Rivertown, especially for a log ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 KI&MVRR deserves a sign. The ugly Dippin' Dots Depot sign needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've always wondered why Dippin Dots gets a massive, centered and decorated sign, while the train gets but a small "Entrance" sign. I agree, replace the Dippin Dots sign with a decent KIMVRR sign. By the way, thanks for the pictures, Paul! They're really great and it's nice to see them!

CedarPointer Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I once heard someone call the train the "Dippin' Dots ride". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Tastes great.........less filling! Those truly were the days. Someone took the words right out of my mouth before I got to say them. I remember as a young kid hearing my dad and uncles doing that and I never quite knew what it meant, then I found out. Now everytime I ride VF I try and start the same chant with my friends on the other side of the boat, needless to say no one understands it.

TopThrill Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for posting all the great pictures of the park, I would like to jump in to a time machine and revisit the park from the '70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 KC had a great color scheme. Wish they would reuse it. Don't seem to be many green coasters these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium13 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Looking at that picture and then looking at the webcam and the difference is amazing, almost unrecognizable. I see that that picture was take when License to Thrill was playing, my first Action Theater movie (unfortunately I missed out on Days of Thunder). I remember after License to Thrill I fell in love with the Theater and made a point to try out the new films at least once, it's a shame that it has been reduced to one side and somewhat of an afterthought.

markr Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Now you're really getting my dander up Paul reminding me of the removal of one of the most charming rides in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windshawne Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Now you're really getting my dander up Paul reminding me of the removal of one of the most charming rides in the park. I agree. That was a crime. I forgot about the "chant", but I remember it. When I look at KC, all I remember is standing in line and hearing Cindy Lauper's "all through the night".

Jasper Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 And monorail track. Which one crossed through the middle of Adventure Express. Alright quick question to clear something up. When you are waiting in line for Adventure Express and you look over across the concrete type area and you can see two footers plain as day, are those for the old monorail track or are those the ones that came from King Cobra.
