  1. Where did you get the figures to know how profitable it is or isnt? The park doesnt care how much money they bring in, as long as the company known as Eurobungee pays its lease.
  2. Source Please? It was known that The Beach purchased slides from Wyandot Lake, but when, if, and how they arrived had not been confirmed or made note of. By the way, this is the last time I'm warning you about the first rule in the Terms Of Service.
  3. Attendance was plummeting, the are was quickly going to hell, and the park was sandwhiched inbetween an ugly industrial park and Interstate 275. The park itself was ok. It changed hands from its original owners when the Caddies guy bought it, it was run horribly then and he didnt last long. Now caddies the adjoining banquet centers have been renovated for use by a neighboring church. The park land is still for sale, it obviously, wont re-open as an amusement park though. I know what you mean by the memories, I used to go there all the time.
  4. ^I'm glad you like them. M.C. Flash on that site is a personal friend of mine, so let me know if you have any questions for him or anything.
  5. ^Oh boy am I glad you asked Colin, your in for a treat: http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid...&currpage=1 Check out that thread, over 115 pics spanning how it looks now, how it used to look, and describing its history!
  6. Tom, are you sure those were the ones that came from Surf Cincy? I thought the dual speed slides that you could see from I-275 were identical, or atleast similar to the Beach's speed slides with the hump in the middle, however I could be very wrong. Does the Beach only use the Toboganing slides during holiday fest or do they become regular water slides during the summer season?
  7. Maybe you should check, you know, the numerous other threads about KI and Ohio passes, not the Carowinds pass benefits topic.
  8. Hey Daniel, welcome to PKIC! Unfortuanently at this time we do not have any pictures of the tower being built online, however we may or may not have some that will be sharing in the future ( ).
  9. It's probably in ohio at the ohio parks....you know....cause carowinds is in North/South Carolina.
  10. ^What would they do with it? It's looked fine for 10 seasons.
  11. When I was referring to my 89 pictures being stolen, I was referring to an incident on another site that happened to me, it had nothing to do with SOAPHS or Americana.
  12. Thanks for the TR westcoaster. I've always heard good things about Knotts even from its pre CF days! I'd love to go, although I am in no financial shape to fly out to California on a students budget So there was enough to keep your child entertained? Thats good to hear, I had never been impressed with the kids sections at any Pre Paramount Acquisition Cedar Fair Park. Cedar Points kids areas are jokes. Glad to hear you had a good time!
  13. Just like in 93 when Linder was gone, the gum came off the trees, and the park didnt look like it was going to close in the coming years.
  14. People air drying at 314 feet after white water canyon Yeah, awful joke, i know.
  15. As stated before in other topics of similar nature we do own the domain www.KICentral.com and it re-directs to this site. Whats being done with that, well you'll just have to wait and see.
  16. Sure he is! When hes not busy "Pretending to be busy" cause the thinks thats good guest service. Disclamer: MutedDarkness was a seasonal employee at X flight for one year before that he was just an ordianry park guest. Never has he been involved with the construction of X flight nro any Vekoma Flying Dutchman. Oh, no you didnt. Dont even let me and Dane get started on you about the superiority of the Olympus Evolt E-500
  17. Just one? They should hire me as their photographer, Id get out there with my nice Evolt SLR and have pictures up, post processed, framed, and catered to the public. But KI does a good job too.
  18. ^Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
  19. RZ, I know the manufacturer's are different but dont they follow the same galaxi type layout? My mistake on that error, is there any diagram out there? My apoligies.
  20. ^Yes, my bad for the mispelled names. But I'll have you know Cory, that Jerry Couch is not the crook the SOAPHS sets out to make him seem. Their site about Lesourdsville also has many wrong facts and large amounts of stolen and un-credited phtographs. Like I said within the coming months, PKIC will have something very interesting to show regarding Americana. Cory, since your a contributor there, maybe you could remind Kevin or Scott that the photos that are actually bills still need to be properly credited. I as well as Bill have asked them both very poitely and they've never responded and have just closed the topicwe created to notify them of the mistake.
  21. ^Yeah, I believe Coneys parent company (Park River Corporation) only ran it for one year.
  22. Whatever happened to the Tierra Mietica contract Paramount Parks had?
