Sounds similar to my thoughts on working during Riverfest, though Balloon Glow isn't nearly as crazy. If I see you I'll try to say hi. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

And in Louisville, parts of 265 still have distances shown in km on the signs (apparently another thing that's stuck around from the attempt to convert the US to metric) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

I always wonder whether anyone actually buys these "cops were looking for something to do so they arrested us for no reason" stories. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Someone check to see if there's a "Raven Maven" account here Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

As far as traffic circles go, West Chester has done that in some areas (don't remember where exactly), and the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel has gone nuts with them. I've never understood why they're not as common here in the US. They seem to work well overseas. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Whether or not a ride remains open during rainy weather is largely dependent on safety mechanisms. Those in charge of making the decisions regarding whether or not to operate a ride know what they're doing. Even FoF has been known to shut down during thunderstorms.

The media didn't pick it up because the park's newest and greatest ride being stuck on the lift hill is much more interesting to the GP than increased security.

My dad and I waited 2 hours for FoF its opening year. The line was all the way back to Coney Mall. We didn't actually believe the signs though, until we got inside the hangar. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the water park tips. That has made my plans for hitting it on my trip in August a bit clearer - spend Saturday doing as much as I can in the main park and spend Sunday at the water park. That should give me enough time to re-ride the coasters and anything else I want to do before I head home that night, and being 10 minutes away, I won't have to worry about it being too crowded when I get there

Interesting. It wasn't like that on Monday - they just had those metal panels around the center removed. I'm guessing there's some sort of motor replacement going on.

SRR has been closed at least since Monday. I was mildly disappointed as that's one of my favorite flat rides at the park.

The only time "most accurate" seems to matter in the news media is when it comes to weather forecasts, and even then, when there's severe weather, they go back to emphasizing who brought it to you first and/or who has the most advanced weather radar technology. One station here used to boast about having radar feeds from Evansville and Fort Wayne.

I went to Planet Snoopy Grill on Monday and was able to get a 4-piece Chicken Tender meal there with my season pass. I don't know if that's how many they usually give you or not, but that's what I got when I told them I wanted the season pass chicken tender meal.

I prefer a frosty mug of IBC at Cracker Barrel or a frosty mug of the stuff from Root Beer Stand in Sharonville. The stuff from Culver's is good too, though I don't think they server it in frosty mugs.

I'm surprised Coney isn't participating since they offer swim lessons at Sunlite Pool.

I can't blame the zoo for doing it. I wonder how many of the "I can't afford it" people would be complaining if the zoo was too crowded...

This will be at least my third time at Balloon Glow, so I'm well aware of the routine

I'm hoping to make it to Coney for Balloon Glow again this year. I haven't decided exactly what I'm doing that week yet though.

I haven't been following along all that closely, but from what I've read here, I honestly wouldn't take anything they've said as a clue to the new ride yet. So far most of what's been mentioned has been based on actual facts about the real Mayflower (102 passengers, 66 days at sea, etc.). Some things may be hints, but nothing I've seen so far seems obvious.

Now open at the New York New York Hotel and Casino... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hersheys-chocolate-world-retail-experience-022800642.html

Just a reminder to everyone. Posting screenshots is fine, but quotes with links to the source are much better, especially since most search engines can't read images.

I'm sure the news crews picked it up from the radio. It seems most of them have scanners which monitor police and fire frequencies for anything that might be newsworthy.

It's a big bridge over a deep valley and they have to maintain traffic during the construction as much as possible. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk

I would be surprised if this has any major impact on the show. I'm sure they have backups in place in case someone gets sick or injured, especially when you consider how many performances they'll put on over the next three months.

The problem is they're saying the spans "was" demolished instead of "were" demolished. Again, I realize Dayton isn't a huge news market, but you'd still think they could catch simple grammatical errors like that.
