(This ought to be good....) An agreement for what?

I'm sure someone did uncover it; along with Son of Beast's213 other hints.

^ They should have added trees. TREES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

^ This type of reputation is not exactly a welcome mat for potential business suiters in that area. Who would have thunk that a moveable flea market, that was willing to have a one year contract, would get this much static. Now I can understand if the land was in demand... but that is not the case here...

Who would have thought they would do less inspecting coming off the winter break than they do during the regular season... http://www.coaster10...ly-inspections/ http://www.coaster10...out-procedures/ Please view page 426 under "maintenance" http://books.google.com/books?id=UVyDdAjUITQC&pg=PA426&lpg=PA426&dq=start+of+season+amusement+park+inspections&source=bl&ots=RdncEMWXvg&sig=wXASqrzgzEVxtROuOkiYlhY1mfA&hl=en&ei=yDOdTd2dAcLt0gGOs-XtAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

So an empty lot is better for area business?

That would then leave the door open for some to accuse KI of false advertising if the cycle does not work long-term....

replaced!? rewired!? what ones? It seems some are taking his view a little too literal. I believe what he is saying is- whatever normal PM's need to be done- are done. The off-season is the best time to complete the manufacturer's standard PM tasks- which would have to include electrical inspection & repair.

Are you seriously that out of touch with reality? I suppose for some, *denile* is more than just a river in Egypt.

You are correct. But engineering between the floorless & regular top spin is still the same vs. comparing each to KI's Giant Top Spin.

KI's is a Giant Top Spin (still the only one) & KD's is a regular top spin. You really can't compare the two.

Great PTR so far! It looks like your family had a good time (BTW, nice job sporting the Voyage T-shirt!).

Don't forget to ask questions like: max hours available, OT, training and possible advancement - It shows intrest. Also, never speak negatively about a previous employer & turn a negative question into a positive answer (i.e. question:"Tell me something you need to work on." Answer: "I need to work on not being so meticulous in my work".)

^ How is that saying? Brown, choosing his words carefully.....

It would not surprise me if ride testing coincides with ride training- it would seem the most cost effective way to do it. But, I have never worked at a park before, so I could just be talking out my butt!

The capital expenditure decision for pavers was put into place, at least, 2 years ago. The information given to us on SoB just over a year ago was that a decision was not made, and the park was looking into options. If work on SoB (dismantling or repair) already started in 2011, that would mean the capital expediture was approved in 2010 and the information the park provided was false (which they don't want to happen). In a nutshell- the timeframe for a 2011 capital expenditure decision for SoB is not there. I would expect a decision to be made & work to begin in 2012.

I believe you should keep the faith. Today IS 4/1....

My kids love it, and they loved Nick too. It's their opinion I listen to the most!

Typically, if there are a lot of people there, the lines will be longer.

Can I get a Picard/ Riker double face palm please?

^^ While I shouldn't be feeding the troll, that comment cracks me up. In a certain poster's opinion; DA is not worthwhile since it is not exciting and he will not grace us with his presence as often due to it, but SB (sfter 9 years) still is thrilling and if it is removed he will grace us even less? Add in the threat of less park visits due to the change in ERT rides, I can't imagine this poster will ever enter the park in 2011. Seriously, how can anyone possibly please this guy?

OK McSalsa, you need to start another poll.... What is the biggest coaster enthusiat April Fools joke of all time: SoB on the park map, or, Magnum sinking?

I'm sure some of the plans are still foggy....

Don't worry, he will change history to show that his heart was never broken. Will he change history, or get more information from a ScreamScape source?

Some people already decided: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/last-son-of-beast-accident-case-going-to-trial-1109729.html Quotes like this, especially in the environment of a injury settlement case give exact reasoning why Mr. Scheid made the comment about not being pleased with SoB's performance back in mid March 2010.
