Cedar Point
I doubt it, I have never heard of insurance for lost revenues only lost or damaged property.

What would you hate to see go at Kings Island
That could have happened. Paramount explored the idea of removing the tower and replacing it with a Ferris wheel that was shaped like the Paramount logo. Hmm, I Wonder how Cedar Fair would have handled that one. Paramount Parks sometimes got alittle too full of Paramount Pictures. Granted, the parks were supposed to be a theme park. The Paramount Parks never were on the level of Universal or Disney.

It doesnt seem like anything spectacular but still looks like a good coaster.

Diamondback restraint thoughts
A seatbelt is not going to stop another New Texas Giant accident on any coaster. Seatbelts are just there to give the illusion of safety, if a paniced ride wants out enough, that seatbelt will not stop them. Anyone with any knowledge of a PTC coaster train could free themselves in 10 seconds or less.

Kings Island 2014 Discussion Thread
Did Diamondback get seatbelt this season? I rode Intimidator for the first time this season and no seatbelts. The seatbelt rumor still persists but I am starting to doubt it.

Diamondback Rumor
Hmm, I may go tomorrow to look. Just have to see how things pan out. Thanks for paging me.

Diamondback Rumor
Dr. Claire Lewicki: "control is an illusion, you infantile egomaniac. Nobody knows what's gonna happen next: not on a freeway, not in an airplane, not inside our own bodies and certainly not on a racetrack with 40 other infantile egomaniacs." From Days of Thunder Control of the visitors at all times during their visit to the park and certainly on any ride is an illusion. Most likely, the very cause of the New Texas Giant accident.

Gokarts have been removed, GR8 Sk8 and possibly but hopefully not the train ride.

2014 Park Map
Carowinds has yet to put this season's map up and the park opens in a week.

Renewing a Pass online vs Renewing it at the park.
Carowinds isnt charging extra fees this year either.

Original purchase only or repairs from design changes included? I had to say it.

Banshee Construction Progress
Only Alpingeist has a zero car to my knowledge, wonder if it serves a purpose?

The wheel covers look demonic.

Something is up with the infamous Action Zone Circle
If not for tobacco, our country may not be here.

Which kids area would you prefer at KI?
Hanna-Barbera, I miss Scooby!

Banshee Construction Progress
Correct me if I am wrong but doesnt facebook consider anything post to their servers (status updates, pics by users) to be their property... Or was that a hoax going around to... Edit: Yep, thats what their terms and policy says.

Charlie Brown Coming to the Big Screen
I bet Cedar Fair is thinking "How can we profit from this?" I would place money that atleast one park will get a Snoopy expansion for 2015 Or 2016.

Action Zone Circle
I found that with this forum, there is alot of outliars. Either too strict or too childish but I think that what's keep me coming back. Or it could be the activity level here, KIC seems to be one of afew sites that doesn't have a lack of activity. Atleast BB1 used the word's proper meaning instead of the slang meaning and it wasn't directed at anyone. Sometimes, KIC is very queer but that is a very good thing. A boring forum wouldn't have the level of activity ya'll have. Be thankful!

Six Flags: New for 2014
Steel track = steel coaster Wood track = wood coaster So there for... Topper track(has wood in it) = wood coaster Iron Horse track(no wood) = steel coaster Why is that hard or confusing. I am not touching the freefall debate.

Something new besides Banshee for 2014?
The second year of The Bat's operation (1982) was the year The Racer began to run with one side backwards. Makes sense to me. Although they did just switch them back to both forward less than a decade ago.As for one hour ERT, Yes please. For Racer ro run backwards again, PTC would have to agree to it unless they brought trains from a company that agrees. PTC has already said that they dont recommend it.

Slideshow issue on front page of KIC
So that what the lego is. I am on Android and it never worked. Most likely, it is because I refuse to download flash.

Banshee Construction Progress
Haha... I just noticed that. Please imagine devarious just saying it, while I explained it in a strong He-Man style voice. One thing that I want people to realize is that it's all computerized. It's not like maintenance will adjust the brake different on different days. It'll make the instantaneous calculation and adjust accordingly. Thats part of what they test the ride for when they build them.

Banshee Construction Progress
Ah, I miss Paramount Parks. Safety is number one, capacity is number two. Do anything to endanger safety or reduce, and there is the door. Lines moved faster under PP.

Kentucky Kingdom
Thats what I thought, and Wikipedia says.

Hersheypark does have attraction in the park themed to candy. The Kissing Tower and the dark ride which name escapes me at the moment.
