It should be noted that the 2010 offseason has not started. And even when it does on November 1st, don't expect an immediate announcement. The park announced on March 18th that the ride was going to be closed and that there were 3 firms that were looking into solutions & one of those three was deemed unsatisfactory. It was also announced that they were not giving up on the ride. With all the modifications done to SoB, and with rider's safety in mind, patience is needed.

Why were you surprised? Due to the way Cedar Fair has managed their parks in the past, I had expected very heavy security in Festhaus, but a normal level of security throughout the rest of the park. So CF has had park wrestling events in the past with minimal security?

Why were you surprised?

I see Halloween time as an opportunity to enjoy/ role-play/ experience something that cannot be experienced during any other time of year. Can that be considered a double standard? Sure. Is it acceptable in July? No. Is it acceptable in October, IMO I don't see why not.

I am not surprised that the live show is being treated with more humor than seriousness. I have been to numerous WWE events, including front row at Wrestlemania X8 in Toronto. Needless to say, it looks much more "real" on TV with the camera constantly flipping views. Most of the wrestlers are gifted athletes, and are actors.

Where did the informative post mention that the Festhaus was only being discussed? Honestly, some people need to stop looking for a problem.

You didn't know he was the owner?

^ What kind of junk is that all about? Anyway, glad to hear all the commotion was all about nothing.... At least NOW everyone can put the fears to rest.

Upset over a Ferris Wheel? Honestly, no. I don't think they would be upset. KI has so many things to offer, I really don't see a person splitting hairs that close.

With respect to your comment, if you don't care, why comment? Advertising shoots cost a great deal of money. I have no problem with saving a few bucks here and there. -and- The only ones that really notice that the commercial was not on KI property are enthusiasts. Does it really matter where the comercial was done?

It is too bad that when people: disagree on something, voice an opinion, and discuss/ debate, it is considered a fight. I feel this thread overall has been an excellent discussion. I learned a LONG time ago that it is in society's nature to disagree. Keep it business-like and never let it get personal. Objectivity and open-mindedness can go a long way...

Have faith and grab a ouija board! There are some tombstones being displayed at HH that refer to other coasters' death and resurrection. I believe it is a knock-off of Stephen King's 'Pet Cemetery' called 'Coaster Cemetery'. SoB has a chance to be a coaster enthusiat's "Elvis".

So I should go back and reread this topic's discussion? Really? Actually there has. While watching A show "Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel" A midget wresting crew showed up too party, and things go out of control very fast. Also I watch the full episode, After the fight, the Midget wrestling crew was escorted back to their hotel room(being kicked out of the pool area which is where the Rehab Party is). No more then 8mins later head of security was called to a Room for Unknown reasons. Turns out it was their room and these midgets were breaking everything, some of them weren't even drunk!! The reason the fight started was, Midgets were getting too out of hand in the next cabana, getting really loud and just being very rude towards the people around them, also they were trying to get girls that were involve with other guys into their cabana too party. I would like to add, while surfing the internet I found this article. That quote is from Puppet, one of the leaders I guess. Link here Now I hope that those I quoted do not take this the wrong way, as my intention was not to call them out on their opinion. I just wanted to let it be clear that there are some that are offended by the show.

Ok, what direction is the Haunt heading? The wrestling event has yet to happen, and it is already labeled as a wrong direction? How is that possible? If you don't like wrestling, that is fine. But making up things that forms an opinion before it even happens is just as bad as writing off a coaster just because the name is bad or the POV simulation is not thrilling enough. Give it a chance, you could be surprised....

Second, Rehab is not a midget wrestling event. Third, Please tell me you are kidding and could tell that it was scripted like many reality programs.

In every show, it is very clear where the "boss" is working/ training at.

If a person was insistant enough and planned ahead, they could get out. Of course you don't think you could get out of DB's seating, there has never been a reason for you to think about it. Believing that the sporadic, unruley guest at HH is somehow tied to KI's actions is unbelievable in my eyes. KI should not be held responsible for a person's actions. Nor should KI decide to not to promote/add an event/ ride because for what a person may or may not do. As there has been no issues with midget wrestling either. Please tell me you are not comparing midget wrestling to porn.

In the examples Gibson and I gave, the park is taking a risk. The actual safety of KI's rides is not being questioned. How is the wrestling event more of a risk than adding a new ride, given that there have been no reported crowd issues at a midget wrestling event, but, we hear and talk everyday of a guest at a park doing something stupid that ends up in an injury or worse? (On a side note- if someone has the drive to do something wrong, they will accomplish the feat.)

You completely missed the point.

And that is exactly why the tombstones are just props.

Is that anything like: Teenagers + no parental supervision + undestructable feeling = way more possibilities for injuries due to not following ridership policies or park rules. If both are alike, then why would the park continue to build rides risking injuries to those that can't follow the rules? That being said, there has not been a confirmed report of crowd issues with these events. Why would an issue suddenly arise just because it is at KI? Not really sure how you twisted my words to support yours. But if it makes you feel better, you are welcome!
