The Interpreter

It was.

Which is what post 1 in this thread said.

Bringing new meaning to the UK term "car park."

And now it's starting to do THAT again. Hopefully it's not a harbinger of doom.

Thank you. But even then, it wasn't the Koch family that was seeking to run Bluegrass Boardwalk. It was a small subset. That effort worsened family fights, caused bitter dissension, and worsened schisms that continue to this day. It was bad enough that Ed Hart, who did NOT know all the facts at the time, blasted the Kochs, claiming they were doing the Bluegrass Boardwalk effort to protect Holiday World, and that they knew the effort was going to fail as they never intended to succeed--he said the intent was only to let Kentucky Kingdom sit and rot longer to protect Holiday World. Nothing could have been further from the truth. There is enough pain in the Holiday World/Koch situation without claiming a family coalition or even the Koch family tried to acquire Kentucky Kingdom. Not true. At all. A small subset did. And caused a bitter fight to get far, far worse.

...which was a low point for what was to become Haunt. No limits, indeed. Sigh.

But it wasn't before... And it wasn't a coalition. Will had already died. The fight for the ownership, soul and future of Holiday World had already begin...and Bluegrass Boardwalk made it much, much worse. Such a painful word for such a horrible situation. It literally stings. It comes across as meaningfully hateful and mean spirited.

The Koch family "coalition?" There is no such thing. I wish there were. That was one of the many (non-expressed) reasons the Bluegrass Boardwalk effort ended. The Koch family at this point is anything BUT a coalition, just as a Fair Board with Bevin nominees and The New Kentucky Kingdom will be anything BUT a coalition.

...four of them "severe" "life safety" issues...

Shades of the last days of Surf Cincinnati.

I just hope it means easy entry into the park, unimpeded by whining, begging, pleading, desperate teenage "photographers." Well, that and better food served more expeditiously.

Apparently, it's happening AGAIN....

This just got a LOT more interesting: http://m.wlwt.com/news/coco-key-resort-water-park-shut-down-due-to-water-disinfection-issue/32823628 What the heck?

Shortly before the election, Mr. Hart, Mr. Glasscock and Mr. Lunsford suddenly got very quiet. No more bellicose bombast, no bodacious chest thumping congratulations on the bravado of re-opening the Kingdom and its economic effect on Louisville and the Commonwealth. Just the typical park marketing to be expected, and very little of even that. Word is that every single state agency (or Cabinet, as Kentucky calls them) is being scrutinized for cuts, every state patronage contract or incentive is being eyed for loopholes allowing early termination, and the beneficiaries of the Commonwealth's somewhat sparse bounty may change drastically in the next four (eight?) years. A very dangerous time to pop one's head up and make loud boasts. Can this (astutely advised) near silence continue? Or will the three, by accident or otherwise, speak loudly, thus identifying a potential target for greatly reduced state largess? Not everyone gets to operate a park on state property with state incentives in competition with free enterprise not blessed with such advantages...

Or, heaven forfend, a pirate parking lot for a nearby amusement park. See Six Flags Over Georgia.

More than 100 violations!

Again, this is not about Winterfest or a Winterfest type event. Please read the thread. It's about a small gathering of park enthusiasts at the park during the winter--NOT a public event. See a title, post? Read some first.

Well, you could read the thread... December, January.... Once after a huge snowstorm...and a walk from what was then an official winter resort sponsor...

For a small enthusiast event? They ain't talkin' Winterfest here. The elevator would operate. Probably.

I cannot imagine Mr. Hart paying a dime for an exclusivity clause. Plus he has said that Kings Island is not competition for his park and has largely avoided marketing in Cinci. I believe him. Say what you will about the man, but his reputation for veracity is beyond reproach.

And the 'luxury apartments' across the street? Did you resort to looking inn over there?

What Six Flags park is in close proximity to Kings Island? Terp...who likes to ask relevant questions.

...there is an elevator to the second floor of International Restaurant.
