LA Times article on RMC at Cedar Fair
King Ding Dong replied to malem's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I am sure this is what you meant. -
My guess is splintercats.

Brendan Carey records 3000th ride on Banshee!
King Ding Dong replied to Oldschool75's topic in Kings Island
Not questioning the legitimacy, I just want to know how he scheduled it and held down a job. -
If this were SF on the other hand.....

Mean Streak Gets the Axe September 16th
King Ding Dong replied to JubJester's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
^ touché, but only partly. I could also get all pedantic and physicsy and say white is not a color becuase it does not contain a specific wavelength. But I won't do that. -

Any coasters out there with alternating colors on track sections? Imagine that would make it seems even faster, at least on the front row. -

King Ding Dong replied to Oldschool75's topic in Kings Island
I would like to see the math on this one. Don't have a full calendar to see how many operating days there are but in my head that seems to be over 6 rides per day every day the thing has been operating. Boggles the mind. Imagine his has to be as well. Q. How many protein spills? -
We are looking for a new moderator.

Fast Lane Plus Renewal Effect on Sunday Wait Times
King Ding Dong replied to gad198's topic in Kings Island
So what is with Columbus Day weekend anyway? I know City of Columbus and Worthington Schools did not have a day off. I never worked in an industry that had the day off, I thought Sanitation Engineers, Bankers and Letter Carriers were the only ones the "Holiday" applied to. We did go late that Saturday afternoon and it was packed (I knew it would be crowded but it was insane). By dark the midways were so packed it was really starting to bother my boys and getting difficult to keep track of them and they just wanted to go home. Not complaining per say as it is great for the park. I would like to come this Sunday but my mother is in town so a packed park would probably not be enjoyable for her either as the tower would be the only "ride" open now she would be interested in. I kind of get the feeling from a few of these threads the bonus FL passes could really be causing a problem for those that have to wait in the Standby Lines. If quarter or half the people have then the system can't possibly work. -
The Most Ridiculous Thing a Ride Operator has told you.
King Ding Dong replied to Original's topic in Rumors
Something to the effect of "Enjoy your Ride" on Mean Streak. -
Actually his original post asked about the All Day Dinning Plan, not the All Season Dinning Plan, two very different plans. A Fright Feast and admission combo is offered on the website for Saturdays so I am guessing it is not just Friday's. Boo.

The tunnels, of course.

I am torn on this issue. On one hand an advantage of an age limit is so the experience is not ruined for the other guests. On the other hand once you do put an age limit the park is now on the hook for saying the attraction is appropriate above that age. I imagine many of us has seen the parent force a screaming kid on a coaster before. Certainly ruins it for everyone else. It is not so much an age issue as a maturity/personality issue which is something the park can't measure.

Along with the stand up coaster for the kidney stones, KI would have all the Bases covered.

^ Good. Now you can donate your extras to a needy old man like me.
-
^ Drugs. It's ok I used the good stuff as well when my wisdom teeth were pulled.
-
I am confused about this. Wouldn't that require the actual train interval to match the coaster interval?

If You Could Relocate ANY Defunct KI Ride....

SOB to MiA or VF. They deserve something. -
The bean counters strike again.

Other Parks
King Ding Dong replied to flightoffear1996's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
You can even malem it and be back home in less than 24 hours! SFSTL would be closer to 6 hours away. (Depending on how heavy your foot is) -
I don't disagree but out of curiosity can you name some food items at the park that you feel are worth what they charge?

^^ Good point. RMC also performed some non-Topper Track retracting on The Boss a few years ago. They are a first and foremost a construction company. Now that CF has a relationship with them and they have equipment and crews in OH they could conceivably take on a mundane project such as a restroom at X-Base or even drive their cranes down here to help with Mr. T if they are not needed up north for a period of time.
