I remember hearing that when I was there this past Sunday. Hilarious As for what happened at AE - there was likely a good reason for them stopping the train on the final hill. Ride ops would never stop a ride just because they wanted to, and park management likely wouldn't find such a situation very funny.

How can you think a ride is stupid if you don't even know what that ride is?

Didn't realize Putz's was that well known, but I've been there numerous times over the years (it's only 10 minutes from where I live).

If business is at or exceeding expectations, then why did they need to suddenly raise admission so early into the season? If you want to raise prices, doing it in season is not the way to go...

You also weren't at RWCW like many of us were

Might have been the same guy yesterday who got the entire train to growl as they were leaving the station because someone else growled

30 after getting 6 more in yesterday

Yesterday as I was walking through Coney Mall, one of the games workers was singing along to "Stayin' Alive" by the BeeGees

The plastic zip tie is holding the foam on there. Bottom right of the restraint. I don't understand why we're supposed to cram our feet under the restraint as it's not comfortable at all, especially with sandals on. That was just pure luck on my part. The color is due to the lighting in the area. They chose a nice soft lighting rather than the bright fluorescent lighting like you see in the background.

Hmmm.... There's a Culver's up in Mason on Tylersville. Will have to stop there next weekend when I'm up at KI for the unofficial KIC party

I just have to ask why you're looking for a Whip for sale. Because of the topic on what we'd do if we had $100 million to spend at KI. I was curious as to what a whip would cost

Yes, it's a disgusting job, but someone has to do it, and there are products such as Goo Gone that will make the job easier.

While looking to see if I could find a Whip for sale online, I stumbled across a neat site called Fantasy Farm Memorial Website, which is dedicated to the former Fantasy Farm amusement park up near Middletown. I haven't looked around too much yet, but it's packed with lots of interesting tidbits about the park. http://www.fantasyfarm.org/

I would mostly focus on fixing up existing rides and attractions: Repaint Flight Deck Restore the faded areas on Zephyr Restore the Festhaus clock Restore original effects on AE Return FOC to Beastie status, with a new paint job and a new tunnel Clean up graffiti and gum Repaint buildings and other rides as necessary Find better cars for Son of Beast Fix up the old west town along the train ride and find a good way to use it Other things: Turn Festhaus into a German restaurant Get rid of Launch Pad and put in a classic whip (assuming I could find one) Put a water coaster in Boomerang Bay Bring back the trams

I'm supposed to cram my feet under the bottom of the restraint's hinges? I thought they were supposed to go over the hinges in the open area at the front of the car (at least for the front seat). It was not at all fun riding with a plastic zip tie digging into my foot.

Some of this is just crazy... There are two or three useful points, but the rest seems to be aimed at telling people to stay away from theme parks because they're dangerous or too crowded.

Average, minor pain and with the loop

There's one ride op at Beast who just loves interacting with park guests. Today she was singing "If you wanna ride The Beast, clap your hands!" again, telling people to scream so loud that Diamondback could hear them, etc. The best part though was when she learned that there was a girl on the ride celebrating her 8th birthday today, and proceeded to sing happy birthday as the train was leaving the station. It was a lot of fun.

Phenomenal, minor pain (partly depends on where you sit - front seat is fairly smooth compared to the middle or back) and no

Phenomenal, no pain and only

Either my New Balance sneakers or my Sonoma sandals depending on the weather.

Ah. Nice meeting both of you I did have a great time today. Couldn't have asked for better weather, and it was great to have my favorite flat rides in Coney being a walk-on at the end of the night.
