  1. And what annual reports are those muted darkness, they dont reveal any detailed attendance figures, so how about pointing those out to us....ah thats right...you probably cant. Removing the pain in the neck rides? Wow, there are many other parks that can run their vekoma flyers well....run their LIM coasters well...maintain their woodies well.....and provide good guest service, seems your park isnt one of them.
  2. Muted you dont have acess to any attendance figures and as CF announced last week they dont release attendance figures to the general public or even their investors, so right there is more crap coming out of your mouth. http://www.pkicentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8846 Read CF's attendance figure policy in that above link, I dont see anything about including the information for low level seasonal ride ops.
  3. Grumpy? Nope! We are over joyed we are getting a great ride from a park that cant take care of it and has a reputation for awful customer service and that it will come to a deserving home with a staff that knows what its doing. I think your the one thats grumpy that your more likely to see a housing development at GL than a new coaster there in the near future.
  4. ^I can confirm the thread hes speaking of was there. Its a shame, that fan site is run by kids and grumpy seasonal employees who think they know the ins and outs of Geauga Lake yet really have no idea what theyre talking about.
  5. ^The maintenance crews perform both morning and nightly sections on the ride and the operation crews for the day are specially trained to do their own checks, in the past there have been many sepearate maintenace personell seperated throughout different maintenace departments. Primarilly steel coaster and wood coaster maintenace. Each morning, members of each time are assinged to their rides to do a daily, thourough inspection.
  6. ^Theyre probably trolling it and letting us do the work for them. Then they can steal our story for the 11:00 news! I'm sure they'll mis interpret it just like they did with school delays this morning.
  7. ^For the second time! Look on the front page and read the HEADLINE!
  8. Yes, like tuba man said HERES TO CAPTAIN NEMO! Everyone owes him a big thanks! Gabe, your an awesome man!
  9. Check the front page! PKIC - the best site on the net, home to Captain Nemo - now everyones best friend!
  10. Neon green track, believed to be that of the former Geauga Lake coaster X Flight, began arriving to a staging area in the parks parking lot. PKIC's eye in the sky took to the ground to grab some photos of the track arriving on site. The park has not confirmed whether this is track for X flight or whether the track in the lot will be going to the park or if it could be a staging area before going to another location. Regardless, an announcement is expected from the park within the coming weeks. Till then enjoy this exclusive update brought to you first by PKICentral.com! Click here to see the pictures. -Special thanks to Gabriel (Captain Nemo) for going out today and taking the photos and to the park for granting us permission to take the photos! Regards, -Ronny Salerno (CombatStupendous89) and Gabriel Zelazny (Captain Nemo)
  11. ^Yeah, they do all that when theyre not "pretending to be busy".
  12. I understand that its all in good fun Elmer no worries! Ha Geaugaguide......what a joke!
  13. ^Exactly, all I said was the park has not announced ANYTHING yet, sure theres track there, but theres also a pipeline coaster thats been sitting in Six Flags America's lot for the past two years and they havent said what theyre doing with it. Everyone relax, be patient, and within the hour I guarantee you PKIC will not dissapoint you with some news.
  14. Just stay tuned to PKI this evening for updates coming your way soon....I promise....were not the best site around for nothing.
  15. Dont worry boys and girls, if in fact there is track in the parking lot you know PKIC will let you guys be the first to know if its there or not with a complete report. Regardless, there will be news on this site tonight!
  16. X flight has not been confirmed or announced by the park.....for all you know it could be a staging area....if the track is there....no photos yet.
  17. ^Getting around the law is not that simple, they USED to do that, and it was not a very popular option once the ADA laws were passed, remember the ADA laws were passed so that persons with dissabilities would be able to live and work in a more friendly enviroment that met their needs as well as the needs of others. Just because your in a wheel chair why should you be forced through some back hallway or kitchen to get to a service elevator that, yes I've been on, is not the cleanest thing in the world and empties into a little storage facility then out into a park back lot. Even if you dont care how clean the elvator is or whatever theres still the issue of a fire. If a fire breaks out in the kitchen, where it most likely would, elevator access is cut off, while the stairs are still fully accessible.
  18. ^Its cool man, I didnt take it as a nasty comment and theres no shame in being a credit hound, i've kept track of how many coasters I've been on.
  19. I think Spiegels right, it wouldnt surprise me if most, if not all, of those properties became condos particuarly Elitch Gardens prime location.
  20. ^I always thought the parks had uniformed passes throughout the chain, but learned that in 2005 this was not the case when I saw a Kings Dominion and Great America pass.
  21. Your real one probably will just as both CP and KI did last year.
  22. ^The names are printed on the back of the pass woofer, and when the picture doesnt show the operator can use the panel right next to them.
  23. When the attendants at the front gate scan your pass your photo shows up on the screen in front of them. Hmmmm, maybe we should start the list of issues that this will present down the road. Honestly, does someone not evaluate these decisions before they're released? Whats so bad about the picture showing up on the LCD monitor instead of the pass? Just because KECO and their pal Linder didnt do it 20 years ago doesnt make it wrong.
