Maybe they could turn it into a CrossFit “Box”.

@brendan71388 What time of day did you have it? Was it a slow period? If it is left on a steam table to long uncovered that tends to happen.

Size Restrictions? Worried About Fitting
As a big guy myself I can tell you it depends on the ride as restraints are different. I am similar to your specs but as a male we carry it differently. Some rides, especially with overhead restraints, can cause women with larger chests problems, sometimes it is the belly that causes problems. The two that are in general the toughest for people are Drop Tower and Flight of Fear. Row 4 on Banshee has some larger restraints. In general, I think women have an easier time than men becuase we carry most in the gut but women carry weight more distributed. As long as you are fine with allowing the ride ops to do what we call “stapling” (giving a good push on the restraints) I suspect you will be fine on most rides. It may be a little tight but you will still have fun. Bulky and restrictive clothing can cause problems as well so I wouldn’t recommend jeans. One trick I use is to pick your row based on the ride op that is working the rows. The 200lb 6’ 2” male ride op is likely going to be able to staple you better than the 100lb 5’ 3” female op.

Most flavors are 100 calories per 12oz vs 140 for Coke. So don’t get any ideas that this is a low calorie option. Just lower. https://www.Cokesolutions.com/products/brands/barrilitos/barrilitos-aguas-frescas

I looked pulled up radar and no cell is huge but very spotty. Lightning and strong winds are what usually shut things down. Everything is comming from the east which is rare. If you wait it out the lines will be minimal.

How many years can SeaWorld sustain those kinds of loses? 10% is brutal.

I bet they figured someone seeing their phone laying on the ground there was just too much temptation or maybe someone even climbed the fence last year.

How do they handle the differences in waterparks since CPS is a separate gate and SC is included in the KI gate?

The tri tip comes from the bottom part of the loin and is triangular in shape. The brisket is from essentially the pectoral muscles. Tri tip can be cooked as a steak and is already a tender pieces of meat but is also frequently smoked and slow cooked to tenderize it further. Brisket on the other hand is very, very tough with large muscle fibers and must be ground or slow cooked to break down the connective tissue. Brisket will nearly flake apart if cut against the grain and will be rather chewy if sliced with the grain as I experienced at CP Saturday. If you have ever boiled spaghetti and not stirred it well enough and it all stuck together as a log is the best I can describe the texture of brisket slice with the grain.

Roaming Lockers now at CP, KI next?
New this year CP has all day roaming lockers for $10. The hitch being you must move your stuff at least every 3 hours or be charged $1/hour over the 3. There doesn’t appear to be a hardware change, just added functionality to the kiosks. Has this been implemented at KI? I generally don’t use lockers but there are times when they would be nice to have especially on days with variable weather conditions when you want to shed/add layers or rain gear. Photographers would especially be interest in one. If KI implemented this not sure that I would switch back to souvenir cups but it sure makes them more convenient than they were.

Hold on there. The tri tip and brisket are completely different cuts of meat. In fact they come from different ends of the cow.

I want to beleive...and I know this sounds really cynical, but it depends on what they are designed to help. Are they staffing that line well enough that it makes it move more quickly or are they creating Fast Lane for cash customers becuase they already have your money?

Obviously the POS (however you want to define that acronym ) involves the register, data comm and backend servers and it appears to be rather dated tech. Maybe it is just cheap. For an establishment that is open 360 days a year it would be a no brainer to replace it. I understand that the value proposition is a lot harder for a seasonal establishment.

Although it seems the have gone the way of the rotary phone but there was a time when cash registers were incredibly simple to operate. Enter in price, hit button, rinse, repeat. Total. Enter amount tendered. Hit button, change due. Over the years they have become more complicated and slower. Not an expert at POS systems but SIX and FUN have the same problem. It takes a lot of input for a simple soda refill.
