There isn't one as far as I can tell. A search on Subway's website reveals three in the general KI area: 1. 741 just north of Kings Mills Road 2. Route 48 just north of Grandin Road 3. US-22/SR-3 near Columbia Road.

I would imagine that the rights to put a themed wrap on a monorail train are a bit different than those to build a ride/attraction based on the characters.
-
That would definitely explain why the CEO thinks this is such a great deal. Will be interesting to see where things go in the coming weeks.

The ads I heard for this show on WGRR yesterday were saying that this is the first time all of these musicians have been on stage together in more than 20 years. Not sure if that's actually true or if it's just creative marketing, but I'm not missing out on this opportunity. I never got a chance to see them when they used to play Riverfront every year.

Just got my ticket It's times like this that remind me why I don't go to more concerts like these... Ticket price: $51.50 Facility charge: $3.50 Convenience charge: $11.50 Order processing fee: $5.50 So, a ticket with a face value of $51.50 ended up costing me $72. A bit more than I wanted to pay, but it was either that or lawn seats.

But they already have Firehawk... kind of. And you don't want that crappy B&M stand up. My trade would be: Diamondback for the Stan Mikita statue that used to be at Carowinds. I'd have more fun watching that. Carowinds isn't my home park, so I don't really care if they have something similar already... Are B&M stand-ups really that bad? That one looks like fun to me.

I believe most of the old signs are still on property. Those on this forum who have been fortunate enough to get a tour of the sign shop can probably verify this though.

There are plenty of great outside-the-park dining options in the area depending on your preferences. My favorite is Culver's on Tylersville (South on KI Drive, hang a right onto Western Row, continue onto Tylersville and keep going for another 2 miles or so). I am glad to hear that DQ and Chipotle have moved into the area. Anyone want to take bets on how much longer Taco Bell will last with Chipotle nearby?

If bandwidth is a concern, I'd be willing to host them on my server for free. There's no way you'd use up that bandwidth (though the server has a habit of getting bogged down due to high memory usage so there might still be a few times when they'd be unavailable). Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you an FTP account and a folder where you can store them.

KD was built following the success of KI, and has always been a sister park to KI, so it's likely both parks had similar rides and attractions at the time. Wikipedia says their monorail was added in 1974 (a year before the park opened) and also lasted until 1993 like KI's.

Firehawk for Carowinds' Vortex:

Thanks for the explanation Terp. I definitely agree that this just doesn't add up - stock is trading 13% higher than the offer price and we're being told that this is the "best" out of 33 offers (I sincerely doubt that the other 32 offers are worse than this - surely there aren't that many companies who would make an offer without ensuring that it looked good for shareholders). I'm wondering if the CEO stands to get stock options or a bonus out of this deal.

WOLF closed even higher on Monday, at $5.64 a share, just $0.09 of the new 52-week-high of $5.73. There's also this new article, but I have no clue what it means, so I'll let Terp or Leland explain it http://www.marketwat...2017-2012-03-26

I'm sure they covered things up with tarps as needed.
-
They were also having trouble getting WS open in time for ERT, at least after it first opened.
-
I can think of one reason why having ERT on Tower would be good - getting shots of the fog around DB/Beast in the early morning hours.

Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself here as far as the water bill is concerned. Chester Park learned the hard way that you don't mess around with the water company...
