Columbus Zoo's Polar Frontier: Now Open
DegenRider replied to PREMiERdrum's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I can't wait to go see it. Maybe I will make a run this weekend. -
Nah Darkride the ride.
-
None of these rides can be NASCAR themed unless your intimidated into a wall at the end of the ride. Then it would truly be an experience
-
Im thinking this is just a reason not to re-staff the ride for the rest of season. The regular season is almost over.
-
Glad ya had a great time and It was nice meeting ya!...Too bad it was too cold to warm up to the flyers
-
Tom you went with me in 07....

It should be medical grade titanium which isn't effected by magnets I wouldn't worry. Just get the booklet from Guest relations and a wheelchair or scooter.

Its hard to search for some of the more juicy topics from back then. Really the best way is to find a really old member that you know posted in the more out there topics and search their posts. Reading some of them now amazes me. PKIU was dominated by park employees, primarily the rides department. Back then everybody was a smartass. Back then if this was happening, people either couldn't have cared less, or if you made them mad, they would rip you up so badly that you would never want to come to the site again. Peoples posts were much more goverend by opinions rather than facts. EDIT: Man some of these old topics... I wish I could link them but I know the links would get removed . Oh how wrong you were. PKIU was ran by Mafia like organization to which we had a botnet of hamsters in a cages typing out witty banter...or what was witty when your 19 years old.

Great Wolf may lose Ohio resort
DegenRider replied to Skywriter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
If the price is right why not pick up a fully built resort on the cheap? As far as debt load goes if GE defaults the loan and they want to sell it for a quick 40-50mil. That would be a drop in the bucket for CF to pick it up. This could be a purchase that could pay for it self fairly quickly if the opportunity knocks. The place makes money but Great Wolf it self just can't afford to pay for the place all at once. This move could make the shareholders very happy because the park would be picking up a profitable unit and can be made more profitable once you merge operations into the company itself. -
Great Wolf may lose Ohio resort
DegenRider replied to Skywriter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Something tells me Cedar Fair may get there resort for Kings Island after all. Let it default buy it cheaply rename all the rides Water slides as generically as possible and boom! resort! -
The TPR DVD's are a good value if you like parks from all over the world. Plus they have gotten much better over the years.

How many nickels does that come with?
-
I think opening the indoor stuff up at 4 is a great idea and would reduce some of the lines. I know plenty of haunted houses t hat do RIP passes as well. Which is basically a Qbot.
-
Great for standing up for yourself. If it was this much of a scene I am shocked a ride op didn't say anything. Its not like that ride has a big line to begin with.

Question about one of the slides in Boomerang Bay....
DegenRider replied to Cortney's topic in Rumors
Hey during media day in 2004 for Boomerang Bay I slipped and fell getting off one of the slides on Jackeroo Landing got a nasty nasty scar to this day from it. I didn't sue I didn't whine. I got up limped around for a bit got a advil and went about my day. Back in 2003 The park had a few preview days before memoral day when the waterpark was open for schools and then at the end of the day for normal folks. Funny thing was none of the students were allowed to go in the waterpark. I went after school while my friend worked and basically had Water Works ERT. Had a great day until.... I get tossed off one of the old waterworks slides I think they call it Sydney Sidewinder now. I fell off in one of the corners and basically rolled down the rest of the slide into the splash down. Scraped my leg up pretty good and had a bloody nose. I did get yelled and laughed at by the lifeguard Oh and I beat my tube down by 5 seconds. Moral of these stories are it can happen. Both times I got laughed at by the life guards...i also don't do water parks anymore. -

Actually straight from YouTube Late 1970's Footage of Kings Island - Cincinatti Ohio I also believe this was put up by a KIC person.

Exactly and thats why even if they did get blown up the GP will still remember this story and it may be a factor in someone visiting the park or the zoo.
