The Interpreter

Given that the pumps make the water possible, it is conceivable, but not required, that water will not be present on days when the ride does not operate. Terp, choosing his words with care.

Because I wanted to. Why not?

Somebody's all wet. And I've ridden that thing when it was 45 out....

Welcome to KIC!

Yes. Terp, who just HAD to.

Unpredictability is part of security measures. The less said, the better.

DDT for short? Terp, running along behind.

And Mr. Gene's Doghouse. Still prefer Putz's.... I'm funny that way. Garmin gets me there.

...just like last year.

Carnival rides are regulated by the U S Consumer Product Safety Commission. The safety record is admirable. Thoughts are one thing. Facts are another. The US Fixed Parks have fought this regulation for years.

Really? There are far more carnivals operating than parks...

It's summer. It's carnival season. Parks also have incidents--most recently at Six Flags St. Louis.

Hair? Terp, confused...

There are pictures in the article in the second post...

With Kentucky Kingdom's hours....

If I can ride The New Sensation before I was born...(and did)...

I wonder who would have done a thing like that? Terp, who likes to ask questions.

Hence why I told stashua123 to be careful what he wished for in a different thread.

Indeed. The forums back then didn't observe DST on the correct dates. A post wouldn't show up four minutes after you logged out!

Which means 56 minutes after it was. Standard time...

You can apparently ask...but our original poster never posted again...
