Probably combination emergency exit along with employee access. So I guess in the event of an emergency...it could be. -

Looks like they're building something. -

Wow...they really caught us with our guard down. Here I was watching it earlier and didn't see a thing. -
Horry County. I think I should get a medal for catching a mistake made by you. It's a rare occurrence in my opinion. Anyways, I find this interesting. The buyers will be getting the park at a fraction of the original investment. Hopefully they can do something with it. It would be a shame to see it go to waste...well more of one.

I can't wait to be standing there with the coasters train zooming over my head. -

^That is beautiful. Just beautiful. Perhaps the reasons for more rocks than in the rendering was, they had been dug up during construction, and needed a place to go. Haha, okay probably not...but oh well. -

Won't be there that day. Probably mid June or early July. Goliath at SFoG was quite amazing, so I'm hoping for something along those lines. -

I still think Raging Bull was incredible. -

Compared to those two rides, this will be extremely smooth. I doubt it will have much whiplash, if any. -
Same ride, different experience...hmm Well the other night I rode SOB in my dream. I gotta say it was a much smoother experience (and even in the dream I noted that these new trains made a world of difference.) In real life however, it is a little different, but I can still enjoy it.

Maybe some of the KIC crew are on site filming and taking pictures as well. -

Well, my county picked a great day for a snow day. -

It's working for me now, but the image is blurry. Edit: Nevermind, it's frozen at 1:55 for me too. Oh well. -

The webcam is being hit or miss for me. Maybe too much traffic? Who knows. Edit: For anyone that the webcam is working for, would you mind posting the pictures? -
Maybe for you... Said by the guy who put a plastic grocery bag over his shoes to ride WDW's Kali River Rapids in order to keep them from getting wet.

I couldn't help but find some sense of humor when I saw the snow cones stand in this picture.

Haha, I rode Ninja at SFOG 3 times in a row. It definitely took some skill to enjoy riding it, and a careful seat choice. -
Fifteen Sharks Die at Indy Zoo
tubaman replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
When I first read this I was going to comment about only costing 1K for 15 sharks, and was surprised. Then I re-read it. 15K is definitely not cheap. It's a shame to see that happen, but I'm sure they will learn from this and it will definitely prevent it from happening in the future, probably even at other aquariums. -

I have no expertise in this field, but I would guess that would make it very hard to manage. I remember seeing a thing on constructing Griffon. It was no easy task just to get one piece of track in place, not to mention several at once. -

My best guess is they just decided to hold off until the event. But, who knows? Maybe they are just about to release one. -
Bouncing Basketballs....Here....(!?)
tubaman replied to The Interpreter's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
Hearing the balls bouncing in the park make me wish that I had the skills of a so-so punter. Just enough to go over to the kid with his pants practically around his ankles and his flat billed hat tilted to the side, take the ball, punt it away, and watch him stare in disbelief. -
