  1. 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
  2. Duke Energy blames bad cable for Carowinds power outage: http://www.wbtv.com/story/32203069/duke-energy-blames-bad-cable-for-carowinds-power-outage
  3. Anyone up for a trip to Sweden? This looks amazing. 161-foot drop at an 83-degree angle Top speed of 70mph Also, from the park's website:
  4. 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?
  5. 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.

  7. Some interesting thoughts on the reorganization plan here as well: http://clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6658#6658
  8. That line is even funnier for those of us who have met you in person before
  9. 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.
  10. http://www.toledoblade.com/business/2016/06/09/Cedar-Fair-CEO-Matt-Ouimet-gets-indefinite-contract-extension.html
  11. From greeter to driver in a week and a half? I find that hard to believe...
  12. Having the park closed most days during the busy summer months certainly won't help - especially with Waldameer just a short drive away.
  13. Odd move... Why move the VP/GM of KD to Charlotte and send someone from Charlotte to KD to replace her?
  14. They're both Arrow loopers... Close enough right?
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. T3 is now my least favorite Vekoma. I got stapled halfway through the ride. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk
  20. Storm Chaser is indeed running. Great ride! Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk
  21. It was as of when I was driving into the park. I haven't made it back there yet though. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk
  22. Just arrived at Kentucky Kingdom. Lots of people here. Overhead someone say there would be lots of coaster enthusiasts here today because of Holiwood Nights. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk
  23. 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.
  24. 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
  25. I love how he deleted the tweet after the backlash started.
