I was actually expecting ''On Ride'' Pictures lol.......Little Did i Know.

FOF Hangar isnt to Dark to see all the trash cans, there are enough spread around inside and out, that you will see atleast one no matter where you look. In the loading area there is one trash can for every Car. There arent really many bigger pieces of trash that need to be picked up in the Hangar anyway, its just small things. I dont agree with having to make the Ride Ops clean for 20minutes while still on the clock/during break, or w,e. If they expect something like that from us then we need to start gettin a higher wage, I know this isnt the employee area but everyone who works at KI knows what im talking about. Rides Ops carry a tremendous amount of responsibility, and then to have to clean the ride? Ecology should have to worry about that, in MY opinion.

If you are ever sucessfull at that please share the pictures, it would be uber cool to see

For the record, that area gets cleaned every single day. Obviously the gum and coins cant be picked up every night, but any trash down there is from that day and that day only. Yeah we cleaned that every night, both sides all the way back out into the entrance to the cave. All the nasties that were dropped down there were picked up by someone and then the job we did on cleaning was inspected. We pulled all the trash from the que lines and swept the entire outside que, even if it had not been opened for the days use, aswell as sweeping the catwalk. As for FOF cleaning? We sweep the Ques inside and out, pull the trash, and our cleaning jobs can only be as good as the equiptment we are given to do the job of cleaning our rides. Ive got another idea, how about people use the trash cans provided instead of throwing their cups and wrappers on the floor? I used to do a darn fine job of sweeping Antechamber and Preshow, i mean i would sweep the dust out of the cracks and make the floor look as nice as it was ever gonna look. But to get that real Proffesional look and style we need Housekeeping to come down to the rides and help lol

So if the thing were to Start @ 5.45am Sharp i could stay for a good 45 minutes, before leaving to go back to Fairfield, and i could catch the start of school in time I may have to consider it Thx for that info Maureen, much appreciated.

If you can grant me an Excused Absence from High School I'll be there

I dont go to the park as a guest to enjoy the Landscaping. They wanna do an article on how the Ride Ops are top notch

is there a specific link for that article?

sure because its new, and you just know they are gonna run a special opening special right? exactly for that reason, to fill it up

I Think they need to run a dry run day so we can all help with the field, i mean who had ever thought of fertilizing it! wow this topic is gettin hardcore extreme for me. How many G's do you think we will pull while walking through the field!! OMG

Kewl i cant wait to mow it Thats intense

Security works on a weekday when the park is not open to the public?

Im sure the parks didnt inconvenience themselves by trading trains around, i mean, whats the point? This with the rotation sounds much more plausable than PKD switching trains lol. PKI's FOF does have 3 trains (but we only run 2 of them), ive no idea where the fourth is. It may just be my wild imagination, but i seem to remember an older train having duct tape or worn down padding? if someone could reassure me on this cus im not 100% sure lol. rotating trains for rehab sounds SO much better than having trains delivered and swapped out from another park.

I remember a family last year who were in the very front of the line for Tomb Raider when we had to close due to a technicaly difficulty. I talked to them for almost 30 minutes before they decided to wait no longer and leave. The very next day they came back and i recognised them, they were thrilled that i had remembered their names and what we had talked about lol. It would be cool to know a few INTERESTING facts about the rides we work on, just for Guest Relating purposes. A few days ago a guy asked me how Flight of Fear launched its trains, I didnt have much to say. Compressed Air, i guess like if you were to shake up a bottle of Coke and then unscrew the cap. Just a couple of interesting facts that we could re tell over and over again. Like the height of our mannequins on the drivers side, or something to that effect. There used to be so many questions on the scenery at Tomb Raider. Lots of stuff to talk about.

Face Off. Short, Sweet and to the Point with speed and thrill

You cant say that lol, most of the people on my crew that are new, arent used to the G.P. and dont really know what to say, plus they are new to the work scene all together. Just give them a few weeks and we'll see! I know i was exactly like that when i started, ill talk to anyone now it doesnt bother me. I will make stuff up just to guest relate:D as for you Snapper, you have to come back to K.I. and as a trainer High fives and hats all around YAAAY

We have had Great staffing since opening, Rotations have been on time and i think its running smoothly. The newbies at FOF still need to get use to the hard work and i just need to re-adjust from doing nothing all winter >.<. We should all be fit to run once daily operation starts. I think the reason we are only open weekends is to warm up the ride for its daily operation, get the new guys used to the work, re-adjust, and do some testing on the new employees. I havn't visited the park as a guest yet, but i plan on doing so on my first scheduled off day later on in May Ive already seen some POOR staff behavior already. While on the clock they run around, ride rides in uniform, SMOKE! i tried to tell a couple kids from games not to smoke out in public, i got the finger I see some short staffing in the near future when 90% of the new staff is fired lol

I think its a good idea, but im not sure how it would work lol. Ghosts? how would you dress some guy in a costume that looks real? It would have to be a series of monitors to just shine the ghost onto buildings or something. There should be a series off of scary events during the night. Just a quick question if anyone remembere, b'cus i cant. Was HB themed for FearFest? im pretty sure i worked there during FF but i really dont remember

was flight commander much like the Zephyr? in the fact it goes up and down and spins around?

Can anyone show me pictures of Flight Commander? i hear alot about it, but i wasnt living here or anytwhere near here when it was around. Any Info / Pics would be greatly appreciated

hAhA ^^ I have the same urge to do that. It would be so cool Or how about ridding the ride while listening to your MP3 player with the song on it? or is that what you ment? if so what i ment is playing it over loud speaker lol

No idea what happened? When i went to get my check i saw a couple of Mason Police Cruisers parked near the Rides Dept. Didnt think much of it though. Im not entirely sure that was at all related to what you were talking about. I didnt hear anything and i pretty much walked all the way up International Street and through the Employee exit there.

LOL.....i love a happy ending Now im not trying to blame the parents, but its the parents' fault for not supervising their children correctly. That being said though, ive seen many an adult line jump from the qlines outside fof all the way across and into the Hangar. And from Tomb Raider go down underneath the catwalk and hop up by the gate. Also, the guests just get angry and dont report it (i personally have not had many reported line jumpers reported to me) Thats what starts it. People dont act responsibly. on the 23rd i was walking back from break and i looked at a few teens, couldnt have been older than me. They were sort of sitting in the middle of the walkway in a circle, at closer inspection i see they were smoking >.< They were right next to a smoking area which is where they were reffered to by me. Extra security? that doesnt just walk around International Street? How about the games peoplegettin involved in telling people that ''drinking beer in that line is not allowed'' or ''As of 05 we have a non smoking policy(points to nearest smoking area)'' Theres enough games people to watch over most of the park .

What Bells and Whistles are we talking about?

How about a video Just on FOF I only saw one part of fof footage lol......need to show the associates giving the all clears etc. Plus the footage was kinda dark for fof, that was my only beef with the video, other than that, like i said Great! footage
