It is not considered a bad thing, yet, when an opinion/ speculation become fact, there is no reason to continue with "what if's" and "could- haves" to defend it. People learn from interviews. People learn from voting. If you don't learn from these things, then continuous improvment will not be achieved. "What if's" & "could- haves" leave a status quo environment.

Many things have Christian origins, that does not make it a holiday as you previously claimed.

Could have, should have, would have. Nothing has happened. Get over it.

First, I have not added or subtracted any of your quotes. Second, it is unethical to go back and edit posts to change your meaning. You should think about what you want to say before you say it. If negativity had nothing to do with it, than why comment that "positive results far outweigh the negative"? That makes no sense. Saving 30 trees and being an boy scout instructor is nice, but it isn't even close to the same level of being a manager of an institution that deals & decides customer service and the concerns of the public. Again, the words. I never said security had been increased only due to the Half Pint Brawlers, or even partially due. Not once did I claim towards knowing inside facts about the park's operations. Added for emphasis. It's hard to argue black and white- or red in this case. Nothing has happened. Get over it.

Then why decide to become a manager? Institutions get robbed all the time, and it's not the desk clerk that has a gun to their head to open the safe- it's the manager. Do you have an example of an event that you decided against, as the manager of an institution, that could have had a negative result? Midget wrestling was here WAY before it was at KI. To say that CF made it a great thing is actually insulting to the wrestlers themselves and the show they put on as their livlihood, whether or not you agree with it. Security at HH has always been questioned due to the crowd it brings in a small amount of time.. To assume that security was only increased due to HPB without inside knowledge is simply grasping at straws. In response to your edit add-on: No, it is not unbelivable that you have not changed your opinion on HPB. It is unbelievable that you still carry on as if you want to have something happen as it "could" happen. Nothing has happened. Get over it.

WOW! Please tell me you were only trying to be sarcastic. Halloween is NOT a Christian holiday. November 1st, All Saints Day, is a Catholic holiday.

This has got to be one of the stupidest topics started in quite sometime. If anyone thinks that KI is actually promoting Satan when it comes to HH really needs to get their head examined. This whole thread needs a different angle:

You know, it really bothers me, the people who are saying this. There could have been problems. There still might be problems. Had Cedar Fair not handled this event so well, problems of some sort would have been inevitable. For nothing, indeed? Unbelievable. Nothing has happened. Get over it.

There is a possibility that the initial report that the train being launched rolled backward into the station train is incorrect. It could be that the train being launched never rolled far enough forward, and the train entering the station rear-ended it.

Is this an example of: what should not be taken wrong when they are just words on a forum, being abrasive, or are you actually being serious leaving the disappointment in your lack of control and then using menopause as a scapegoat?

Added for emphasis. So you are disappointed in someone for having an opinion, especially after said person gave logical reasons for their opinion? I see many references in your post for how you feel. Should the same disappointment be felt by those who don't agree with you? BTW, the energy spent creating that joke site was minimal. -Browntggrr. (who is not trying to start a flame war, but doesn't drink the kool-aid either)

The .com site was a jacka$$ move, but, there is a sound reason to why it was done. That said, take a step back and honestly ask yourself: "Why would someone take the time and effort to make a joke out of a legitimate fund raiser?" The .org site comes off as a scam itself, and if there were not people on KIC that knew the person leading the charge, I would argue that it is a scam just for how the site is presented. There have been rallies for BD. Articles for BD. Organizations have tried, years ago, to do the same thing with no success. While I applaud the creator(s) of the .org site for their motive, their effort falls way short of people & events that took place sometime ago. Why were those that feel the same way about BD not contacted? They obviously know more people that are willing to spend time and money for the cause. http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=81336 http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09113/964731-54.stm I look at it this way: If I am going to a job interview, I'm going in shirt, tie, dress shoes etc., as well as, overly prepared with knowledge for both the interview & the company being interviwed for. To be taken serious, you need to look serious. If you look like a joke, you will be treated as such.

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...
