I would consider it if they were looking for guitar players, I wish School of Rock had returned for another year and I could've auditioned for that.

Hey, everyone. Came home this weekend and today Boddah and I met up at Jungle Jims to check out the monorail, buy candy, and hang out. Not much to update on the monorail but I got some pictures... -Theming on top of the monorail station. -No track has been added to the Petlan/Starbucks area since the last update. -However, some more track sections have been added to the station appraoch. -The Tonka truck is now closer to the station and more track has been added closer to the station One more of those track pieces and it should be connected to the station. -Of the two sections of track added, there are one of these by each. -Two more sections here, one going into the station, and the track from the station that spans the back parking lot will be complete up to the shopping centers. Click this link to view a panoramic (crappy) of the track spanning the rear parking lot towards the shopping centers.... http://www.mcflash.4000loavesanhour.com/ju...G/jungle007.jpg Thats all for now. P.S. TrainDriver: I've been busy as of late, I'll get back to you later tonight through PM when I get back home.

I had a much better one, but it was on my flash drive... Remember that time I actually did ride in the Delorean to skyline with you, and I couldn't get the door open?

Karen, that ride you are thinking of was the Zodiac. A double armed ferris wheel made by Inatmin. Kings Island's was eventually relocated to Australia's Wonderland who then relocated it to some park in Malaysia in 2005 when Wonderland (Aus.) was demolished. Intamin also made a three armed wheel similar to the zodiac, the three armed wheel for awhile could be found at both Great America parks and I believe are both gone today, not having been relocated to any other parks. Anyone know if any other double armed ferris wheels around? I really wish I could have gotten to experience the Lion Country Safari. I had been been on it, but was way too you to remember, and didn't start going to KI reguarly until 1996. Karen, as far as Americana and Fantasty Farm making a come back, that hope seem to have completely died out as of last winter. The Fantasy Farm property has been completely torn up and flattened. This past summer myself, Boddah, and Dane got to go into the Americana property and photograph it in its current condition. I doubt that it ever comes back as an amusement park, unless he keeps a few rides around and mixes it in with his camp ground, although when we spoke with him there were plans to sell the land to a Christian organization to build a summer camp. You can see an article about it here: http://queencitydiscovery.blogspot.com/200...visited_29.html

Yeah yeah yeah! It's Boddah1994 aka Ryan Suhr's birthday! Today he is 25 (Half way to 50 Ryan). As is usual Ryan Suhr Birthday celebration.....please recall your favorite Ryan moments from the past years... "today I drove downtown with my dad..." Flying with Nemo and Boddah1994... ...and reminding Boddah of how unlikely it is to survive if that plane were to crash. -The time Ryan borrowed my 2 gig flash drive to show videos at KIC day. -The time Ryan said he'd meet me at the park and return my 2 gig flash drive but forgot it at home. -The second time Ryan said to meet him at the park and he'd bring my 2 gig flash drive but he forgot it. -The time I met Ryan in the parking lot for media night and tore through his car looking for my 2 gig flash drive and never found it. -The time Ryan said that he'd buy me a new 2 gig flash drive and ship it to me up at school. -Checking the empty mail slot for my replacement 2 gig flash drive -Coming home for a 7 week holiday break, going back to school 2 weeks ago and asking Ryan about the flash drive again.... (its on its way he said.) Memorable quotes: Halloween Haunt Media Night... "Wow, Son of Beast in the back of the new trains isn't that bad [goes down hill into Rose Bowl].... AHHHHHHH F&%*#@!!!" "I have two one phones, ones for making calls, the other is for receiving them>" And heres a special birthday song for you Ryan... (just substitute the words Ryan for Steve) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sAzsTZm_hE...feature=related

You know, I'm not exactly sure, I use an older, but similar software on my personal website and I have it set to allow comments. With the KIC gallery I'm not sure how it works. That would be a question for Dane... I'll forward it on to him.

So according to that theory, PKIVortex had shortcomings as a Vortex ride operator and his dream represents his short comings coming to life (the person falling out of the restraint in the dream)?

I think he was trying to say that he believes Cedar Fair's current financial situation is causing them to be so stingy with money that to them painting Top Gun is not a viable way to spend money.

Did they mention the organization or was it just someone who was crazy about roller coasters? Last nights episode was pretty funny.

Hey Ashley, and welcome to KICentral! To see the movie check out our history section at... http://www.KICentral.com/history/videos/20thanna.php The quality is not the best but you may be able to pick yourself out.

Asian Zing anyone? Yes sir. Thats my favorite sauce there.

He's not constantly violating it and ignoring warnings like you, not to mention he's a respected member of these forums who contributes and has been around here for awhile.

I'll take care of it, no harm done RaCeR.

Then if you're going to do that make sure you check here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showforum=38 to make sure you don't duplicate any existing topics.

Considering this topic is about the speculation of a new ride for 2008 and it has been confirmed that your claims about Kentucky Kingdom's accident are just from new stories and not confirmed facts, we wont be posting news articles about parks "good or bad" in here. If you wanna discuss Kentucky Kingdom topic go here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9902

Yes you did, 3 times now, and you haven't done that....yet you remain here...no ones keeping you here.

We were having a civil adult conversation, just because you couldn't back up your end of the conversation doesn't mean it was not an adult conversation. I simply posed questions challenging your claims, you failed to provide any answers and kept making other baseless arguments.

I'll let your grammar speak for your maturity level. As I've been asking you this whole time.....where is there solid evidence of that? How about you do some reading and research on the subject and see exactly what terms of the lease Six Flags has and exactly what kinds of insurance benefits they received. Once again, this fails to prove that they improperly maintain their parks. Everything I've said I have been able to back up, everything I've called you out on you seem to change the subject and fail to respond to any of my questions with any shreds of proof and now you're running.

Six Flags Worlds of Adventure is gone because they decided to sell it to an interested buyer....Cedar Fair, not because of lack of upkeep. That sale was made before Mark Shapiro was in charge of the company. What 10 parks are currently in the process of being sold? Just because Intamin didn't supply the cables doesn't mean the accident occurred due to a "lack of upkeep". Obviously the state let it operate the majority of the summer with those cables. Once again, the investigation has not been finalized, no one has been faulted, your claims have no merit.

-Actually I do, considering I help run this one and work with a lot of other amusement park oriented sites. You can go on ride accidents.com and see accidents listed for parks all over the place, its a database of articles. I see things on there for Cedar Fair parks as well as Six Flags parks, where is there any proof that Six Flags maintains their rides to a lower standard than their competition? I'm looking for an official source, not a database of articles that may not always have correct information. -So where has Six Flags failed to maintain this ride? Not to mention nothing official regarding the accident has been released by those investigating it. Yes SFKK supplied the cables, but where have they, their maintenance department, or Intamin been faulted?

Boneless or traditional? What's your preference? BW3's may not be the cheapest, but their boneless wings are so good as well as their regular wings.

What are you talking about? Where are these reports you speak of? Speaking as someone who has worked in park maintenance before I can say that Six Flags maintains their rides just as well as Cedar Fair, Busch, and the now former Paramount Parks. They follow the same exact manufacturer and state guidelines, yet isolated events will sometimes happen. You don't know what happened in Kentucky and if upkeep had anything to do with it. Where are these reports of Six Flags horrible maintenance records? "Nuff Said."

Talk about inflated price.

Ah, Don Helbig?

Eww, Captain Nemo can tell you about how I have gotten sick while flying with him and his father over amusement parks just while shooting, i can't imagine trying to do both.
