A lawyer! And claimed the bulge was his anatomy. Sheesh!

Much, much more: http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/camden-park-facing-osha-fines-for-alleged-hazards/article_9ac909dd-f473-5d98-afd6-61a7c9214103.html Note the last paragraph in particular.

Soon be ten years. So much of the speculation here was right--so much very wrong. Nick U and Geauga Lake Park long gone, X-Flight moved to KI, the true Flights of Fear story, the Stealth saga....so much info in one thread. Yep. Worth reading. We need that Shaggy guy to post in the Kentucky Kingdom thread...

And the wait to get in the park is more important than guest and employee safety? Please. Paramount Parks had more front gate security every day with shorter waits to get in. And that's reality. It CAN be done. It's all in what management wants and will pay for and in what guests will and will not accept.

The better question is what it will cost to FIX the reported violations. And remember, OSHA is about employee safety. Those restrooms are also used by the employees....

And the result, by nearly all accounts, was dreadful.

Oh, I'm so tempted to chime in here... ...but I'll be good. For now.

The filter strikes!

A bargain at 1/10 that price. Maybe. I wonder who the seller is....

In case you haven't noticed, "luxury apartments" are purportedly slated for there. Then the tenants will complain of noise, traffic, etc., while others will complain about the tenants and their noise, traffic, etc.

It's not like the land would quickly sell...

Sounds like an awesome restaurant! Frickers. But you had to be there.

I'm quite certain a far more flattering tale is told in da book. And I truly am saddened Mr. Kinzel is not enjoying his retirement. That's truly sad.

I always loved the strange little noises Gateway computers (especially the 386's) made!

Another blast from the past Worth reading again At last...

...even though it was found employee error was the cause.

...which are also new old new wheels. Wheely.

Public relations. That's what PR and marketing does. Get people to talk about and think about the park in a positive way. And it's working.

Improved food service. Quality. Speed. Value. Cleanliness. McDonalds stated it years ago: QSC-V.

They tear the coaster trains down each year and rehab them...yet we get tweets and photos showing us...
