  1. You may be confident, but you wouldn't be right.
  2. It was. For access roads that ride required....
  3. Or use the water bottle refillers on the new water fountains...
  4. Not nearly as much as you might think. It was doomed largely due to guest activities on and near the, ahem, "Nature Trail."
  5. Hopefully, it doesn't rain the entire time. It could flood.
  6. Yep. The chutes had water. There was even a lake.
  7. No major theme park doesn't have an area for relatively private corporate/group event catering....
  8. And CERTAINLY no such salacious thing was ever at Six Flags Great Adventure.
  9. See also, for standard gage: https://www.truthorfiction.com/railwidth/ 56.5 inches: 4 feet, 8.5 inches....
  10. Quite frankly, I was floored when Cedar Fair removed the front gate metal detection/searches after it acquired the park. I truly think it was irresponsible, naive, penny pinching. See also stopping tram service.
  11. Congratulations should go to Pat Koch, Will Koch (her late son), and Natalie Koch. Current park ownership had exactly nothing to do with courageously installing this park changing coaster.
  12. No, I haven't. Waffles? Pecan, extra pecan, at Waffle House, please.
  13. Coming all the way from DC, Putz's is an essential part of my KI trips. Daylight Donuts, Culver's, Jim Dandy's Family BBQ...
  14. You see a lot more Terps in the DMV... I See Blue.
  15. And ride the train. Watch for Falling Trees.
  16. If they stopped to eat, that oughta keep the ride lines short for several hours or so.
  17. 1. Visit the shops. 2. See the shows. 3. Ride the flats. 4. Watch people. 5. Look for Terps.
  18. When I grew up, my parents followed the teachings of Dr. Spock. Oh...
  19. I have never seen them do the dough, but the rest seems to rather traditional. They have done several special requests for me. Maybe the take n bake are robots. King - don't mess with my Costco. Here in the DMV, wage levels are very high compared to most places. Most Costcos here use an automated spinner to apply the sauce, robotic arms apply the toppings, it is lifted onto a chain conveyor oven and emerges out the other side. Most McDonalds drive-thrus here have automated drink fill machines that dispense the cups, add the ice then soda, apply the lids, and move the drinks to the counter. Many drive-thrus here have the order taker in a lower wage locale--from Illinois to India.
  20. Mind over matter, mind over matter, rinse repeat. If you don't mind, it won't matter. Here comes the rinse cycle! Watch out for the fabric softener.
  21. Or, like Costco--yes Costco, you can robotize most of the pizza making process and hire one pizza maker, maybe two...
  22. Employers who pay well and train well have happy employees who work hard, play by the rules and don't present such issues as herein depicted. And the few problem employees aren't very long. Terp, just sayin.
