  1. Then how did Flying Scooters survive the first 50 years? Virtually no park anywhere allowed snapping. At Camden Park, for example, snapping once got you a season long park ban. Doing it again was a lifetime ban.
  2. malem said in another thread {Kings Island 2016 Discussion Thread}: "It's True."
  3. Oktoberfest: German music. Oh, wait...
  4. Word in legal circles is that the most recent Beach Club insurance payout ruling is being appealed by the taxing authorities/creditors...
  5. Dryers don't need ducts when operated out-of-doors. Now whether such operation and in a commercial setting meets manufacturer's recommendations and electrical codes.... Terp -- who was disappointed when he saw his first Family Dryer! He (but not GE) had hoped it would be a tumbler. In the 1920's, it surely would have been.
  6. Tips for clue hunters: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Application to the above post? One or more of those 5 W's and a H are critical and cannot necessarily be assumed---but was/were.
  7. Any news on what comes next here? Terp -- who likes to ask questions.
  8. I did that in my parlor once. Terp, good at really clearing dirt. And in Georgia, it's often red.
  9. Well, that will make some see Mr. Helbig in a whole new light. A towering presence, I must say.
  10. Just think of all the quarters collected from those not heedful. In the Kinzel days, it was nickels or so. Now, it's quarters. Or, as in the recently cited LaRosa's case, charging for combos AND for the already included soft drink. Poor training? Bad register programming? Conscious strategy? The mind boggles.
  11. Back in the day, going to a park for a demonstration had a whole 'nother meaning.
  12. IAAPA ride vendor experiences are frequently not typical. The rides may be faster, longer, more intense at a show where the goal is to sell than when operated by or in a park.
  13. And your voucher will work at the parking tolls.
  14. I would have loved to have seen Sparky handle that request back in the day!
