Hard to believe I've been here for over 10 years now...

I've never really understood why anyone thought Ghoster Coaster was a good idea. It had horrible capacity so the lines were always long, and it was rather painful for adults - especially guys. Maybe it was some sort of a package deal with the helicopter ride since both were made by the same company (Caripro, which at some point was purchased by Vekoma).

I at least managed to make it to Camden a number of years ago. May have to see if I can take a day trip out there again this year.

I still plan on stopping by on my way home from Holiwood Nights again this year since I'll be down there anyway. I might be willing to come down for a KIC meetup as well given enough advance notice.

The only sort of email notifications I get anymore are from Tapatalk, which goes to a different email account than the notification emails from this board do (I used a different address for my Tapatalk account).

Even better if it's June 5th (the day after Holiwood Nights )

Also, here's the updated URL to the images... http://KICentral.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=177

Apparently that mall becomes the popular hangout spot for bored youths when the local amusement park is closed. And this isn't even close to Kentucky Kingdom (this mall is on the east side of the Louisville area just north of the eastern interchange of I-264 and I-64, but conveniently straight down US-60 from downtown Louisville - probably easily accessible by bus)

The terms of the contract are even more ridiculous. The trustees get 12.5% with a guaranteed minimum of $20,000 the first year, with that minimum increasing by $10,000 each year the contract is renewed. How exactly do they expect the hotel to make that kind of money?

You're welcome. This appears to be better quality than the other version that's on YouTube as well.

The things you find on YouTube... Featuring Jason Priestley of Beverly Hills 90210 fame. This is the same year that Paramount bought the park, but the re-branding didn't occur until 1993 (and I'm not sure when in 1992 the sale was completed).

Valravn has been officially topped off now... https://twitter.com/TonyClarkCP/status/679407346326597632

When you are already planning how you're going to use most of your vacation time next year and the first event is still 5 months away

In The Loop has posted a picture of the Holiwood Nights 2016 poster on Instagram... https://www.instagram.com/p/_X55YbvgBw/

http://www.wsaz.com/content/news/Camden-Park-faces-65000-in-penalties-for-workplace-safety-hazards-362827491.html 45 serious violations, 10 "other-than-serious" violations. A link to the full report from OSHA is at the top of the article on the right hand side. Company has 15 days to respond.

Also note that the Trabant previously mentioned in this topic is no longer there. Such a shame too as that was a fun ride.

I can't recall people standing up or trying to hop on/off the tram while it was moving at all. It may have happened, but it likely was not the reason for their disappearance. Someone probably decided the cost of operating them was an unnecessary expense. Meanwhile you can't take the rent-able strollers or wheelchairs out of the park and there's no way to get up to the front entrance in a vehicle to drop people off or pick them up (though this is partly for safety reasons).

If plans work out the way I'm hoping for 2016, I will be back there in late May for Holiwood Nights again (and likely staying at the state park again).

I haven't gotten a PM in months so I can't comment on that, but the last like notification email I got was around 6:30pm on Tuesday.

It may even be against state and/or federal law.

Sadly, this isn't the first time the guy has been caught doing this... http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-lehighvalley/man-filmed-undressing-kids-in-dorney-park-for-10-years/36781646

Izzy's also has delicious reubens... Unfortunately the nearest one to Mason is in West Chester.

I wonder if someone jumped the gun on this a bit. The wording was removed from the websites of both Kings Dominion and Worlds of Fun after that was posted...
