Purplehaze

I do not believe it does. It would be nice though.

He was referring to Root Beer... hehehe

^^^ OH... Great question. And if the cost will rise on them.

RC Cola rawks!

I work for Kroger and Big K is very cheap its just knock off Coke and Pepsi. Odd they don't have Big K during Kroger day or Union day, but if you go to the Beach for the Kroger Bag off they will have it for the day. I would rather have a BigK Cola than I would Pepsi or Coke anyday.

So Walmart is coming to the FestHaus

I am going to the flat rides first like Scrambler.

I thought the first riders of the opening day were the tests rats for rides.

I believe I am the oldest here...lol

I for one am glad they will be heading forward.

Wonder if you can go to the records dept. in Warren County to look at the original plans? These should be a matter of public record.

Great ole pics.

i don't know shag is making a comeback. I was looking at carpets a week ago and they have some very retro stuff on the market today. As long as it isn't burnt orange I am all set. lol

Still a great deal!

What is the prize?

Ok Ok i admit! I bought the park. it is not longer owned by CF.

I just want to walk thru the front gates and I will be happy!

So I remember when Henry Winkler aka: "the Fonz" was at KI and they had no security...lol.. He gave a speech to a woman's club in the paramount Theatre. hehehe..lol

Thats it woofer I also think it is a great idea for the park to consider. I mean think about it, all 2008 season, people will be seeing new developments concerning this new ride all season. it is a good marketing strategy also for the next season season pass and ticket sales.

I am not but will be there a lot thru out the season

I love this show. Puts me in a springy frame of mind!

Got my first txt today.....

that's in theory...from experiences i've had with guest relations at KI and CP, one person will tell you one thing while another tells you something else...i'm not very confident in CF's communication one bit - all bets are off ! That is pretty much in any business just not the park.

The new owners of Florida's venerable Cypress Gardens rang in the New Year by booting former owner and interim manager Kent Buescher out. In an announcement yesterday, park officials introduced Steve Baker, head of the park consulting company, Baker Leisure Group, as Cypress Gardens' new manager. Baker says that he plans to increase the number of staff members at the park and focus on delivering a better guest experience. Buescher had a roller-coaster experience at Cypress Gardens. After years of declining attendance, the aging park closed in 2003. Buescher, who at the time owned the Wild Adventures theme park in Georgia, purchased Cypress Gardens in 2004, infused it with water park and amusement park rides, and reopened it in 2005. A series of hurricanes that pummeled the property before it reopened, however, left him and his reinvigorated park in debt. While attendance shot up, Buescher was never able to overcome his financial problems, and the park changed hands in 2007. (He lost Wild Adventures as well.) He continued to manage to park after the sale. It's a sad ending for Buescher. He is to be commended for his vision and persistence in saving Cypress Gardens from the wrecking ball (and likely conversion to yet another Florida mega-condo project). Under his watch, the park's lovely gardens flourished. And if the amusement park rides he brought in were mostly of the traveling carnival variety and done on the cheap, he did get the turnstiles clicking, and he did resurrect the classic Starliner wood coaster. Thanks to Buescher, Cypress Gardens' new owners have a diamond in the rough. from: http://themeparks.about.com/b/2008/01/03/n...ess-gardens.htm

Wonder where this used coaster is coming from?
