I’ll put TT2 as the bigger failure. Waste of huge amounts of time and money. It’s like they didn’t learn anything from the SoB failures and repeated them again. At some point, you have to cut your losses and move on, no matter how much it hurts. SoB was far better with the loop than without it. Without the loop it became an extremely painful experience. I can’t tell you the number of times I climbed out with pain and marks on my legs.

I’m just glad they’re upgrading the computer room extinguishing system. i hope they aren’t still using a Halon system in there!?!?

After you do it for a long time, it just becomes another day along the way. Yes, the more significant emergencies stay with you, they just fade to the back of your mind with time. 24 years ago when I started, wasn’t like it is today. We didn’t have peer support teams and people you could talk to if you were having issues after an incident. With the emergence of PTSD & “burn out” as real things along the way, all of that has changed drastically in about the last 5 years.

I haven’t seen anything good come from an SF park. I look at KK and what went on there. I figure a long time before we see another ride or coaster. This is going to kill KI. We’ll get copycat coasters and rides, not truly original stuff.

I’ve never seen the water behind Octoberfest that blue, it’s always just brown…

I wonder if “Soul” is more about maintaining the existing rides they have. Getting into the “Soul” of them and making minor changes, or in some cases major ones to really get the rides where they need to be, to continue to pull people in well into the future. I think of the work that has been done on Racer and the current work that is being done on Beast. I think all coasters and rides have souls, even though they aren’t really living things. I think COVID has caused a major financial disruption in a lot of things. If you start looking at delays in raw materials and price increases, it may be beyond 2025 before we see anything significant in terms of a major new attraction.

It’s not. It’s literally barn plans I found online. A finished building in this style would be Duluth Trading in West Chester. So I guess we are getting the best emporium ever…

The clip at the top of the blueprint reminds me of this roof shape. It’s called a “Monitor” style roof. It’s not uncommon for any variety of buildings, not just barns.

It's definitely becoming a weekend evening problem. We don't go to the park on weekends because of the larger crowds alone. If this keeps up, I hope they just go ahead and post a curfew after 4:00PM. No more lone teens in the park. I'm sure Mason and other jurisdictions aren't pleased about what continues to happen.

I’m thinking it is what they said it was. Delirium work, maybe the lift belt or boats in Congo falls, if Skyflyer needed work you’d definitely need a crane, or something with Invertigo at the top of the hills. I doubt we see anything this year and probably next year as well. It will be sometime this summer before life resumes most normalcy in over a year. I’m not just talking about Ohio, I mean everywhere.

I doubt it. It looks similar to the same security fencing around other rides. Perimeter roads for maintenance purposes only.

Using Verizon and iPhone Xs, it always works at KI, even when it is busy. Yes, there are extra public safety only items on my plan.

Cheap inflatable crap nobody wants to see or use...Noted! Tickets will probably jump $10 for nothing.

I think that it depends upon how the sun hits them and how the camera then translates the image. Sometimes they look lighter, sometimes they are darker.

Thank the warm Winter this year. Usually, it’s bitter cold at this point.
