ORLANDO: 50 Dead, 53 Wounded
Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Witnesses are now reporting that the killer had visited the club numerous times before, and local radio station KISS 107 even says he had a gay dating profile... http://kiss107.iheart.com/onair/kristie-56301/orlando-shooter-a-regular-at-pulse-14810002/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/06/13/pulse-patrons-mateen-drank-club-before/85852008/ This is getting stranger and stranger -

Cinci Zoo Gorilla Death
Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Zoo officials later stated she climbed up the mesh and squeezed through an opening... http://fox13now.com/2016/06/08/hogle-zoo-explains-how-leopard-escaped-from-her-enclosure/ The fact that they initially stated they don't know how she got out is baffling - a jungle cat. In a tree outside the enclosure. How else would she get out except by climbing? -
You'll get used to the park layout pretty quickly and should have plenty of time to do everything in both Holiday World and Splashin' Safari in two days. Also note that the park is bigger than it looks, so be prepared for some walking - especially because Holiday World isn't as flat as KI.

Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?

Some interesting thoughts on the reorganization plan here as well: http://clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6658#6658 -
That line is even funnier for those of us who have met you in person before

The Life of a Ride Operator
Oldiesmann replied to Joncars05's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It's an entertainment website owned by The Onion (though it's not a satirical news site). I'm really not surprised they used a headline like that. -

The Life of a Ride Operator
Oldiesmann replied to Joncars05's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
From greeter to driver in a week and a half? I find that hard to believe... -
Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?
Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Having the park closed most days during the busy summer months certainly won't help - especially with Waldameer just a short drive away. -
They're both Arrow loopers... Close enough right?

Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?
Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
That's my point. $5 to ride the lazy river when nothing else is open. And they wonder why nobody was taking advantage of it. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk -

Oldiesmann replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Of course they're going to see limited use of the lazy river during the week. Who's going to come to the park just to ride the lazy river - especially when they likely have to pay to do so? -

Latest update from the park. CP will reopen tomorrow. Tickets and Fast Lane passes dated yesterday or today are good any other day at CP or today at KI and Michigan's Adventure. https://www.facebook.com/cedarpoint/posts/10153659829481463 -
Seats aren't bad, and at least you don't get your ears boxed off like on Invertigo, but I certainly won't be riding it again. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
Oldiesmann replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
Snake Pit was still open and selling cheesesteaks as of Coasterstock weekend. They were closed by the time I made it over that way tonight (around 7) but many food places closed early tonight, likely due to the weather scaring a lot of people off, but the sign still said Snake Pit and there was no evidence of anything changing there as far as food offerings go. -
Virtually no wait for Vortex. It's only running 2 trains and I was still on and off in less than 10 minutes in the front row. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk

I love how he deleted the tweet after the backlash started.
