I have always enjoyed Bob Evans for breakfast, lunch, or dinner: http://hosted.where2getit.com/bobevans/index.html?form=locator_search&addressline=44870 But it is hard to beat some of the mom & pop shops in the Sandusky area when it comes down to quality vs. quantity. Unfortunately, most of them do not have websites.

KI's GM? He knows as much as all the other people that had undisclosed injuries. That is, until SoB told them. (BTW, I have no idea what sarcasm is or means)

I always considered the term "sister" as something that is very alike and close enough that the similarities can be seen. But perhaps that is just me.

^ That doesn't matter. The ride was "cleared as safe" so it must be ok to operate.

I hate it when reality hits you in the chest and breaks your sternum....

Are you saying the mist of ID makes it a better ride than the former BBW running through a themed village? Really?

^^ That brings up an intresting question. Can GA be considered a "sister" park to KI given that it is over 2400 miles away?

We should start a new poll on favorite posts. This post is in the # 1 slot for me.

.... and I always thought Roscoe P. Coltrane of Hazzard County, GA was fictional. On a serious note: Who ownes the lot? Are there signs posted for cars to be towed? How can the authorities continue to allow this scam to happen?

^Save money as in FREE?

I can imagine. Waldameer is always packed when there is a fireworks display. That is why a couple years back, the park started a policy that required a ride-a-rama for everyone under 19 not accompanied by a parent after 3:00pm on firework days. The park normally has free entry. I'm sure it was even worse this year since Waldameer was one of a few places in our that actually had fireworks for the 4th. The normal "Boom on the Bay" was cancelled due to funding issues.

GRAB THE HOSES! A roll of quarters, and a kid with an appetite for destruction, could make for some messy rides & midways.

It is great to see others enjoy "my home" park in Waldameer. Did you get on Wacky Shack?

Huh? Where do you see the word "rumor" in my post?

Yes. That is exactly what I said.

I don't think they are used for that. They were no bigger then a tie on the track. And how large of a board does a person need to walk over the track?

^^ I really don't think you understand our point. Every rumor from many enthusiast sites (including Wiki) gets posted to ScreamScape with zero credible sources. Of all the rumors posted, one will eventually be correct. Then when the official announcement is made, all the other rumors get deleted except for the one that was correct. Other sites have actually set ScreamScape up and purposely started an outlandish rumor just to see how long it would take for it to pop up. The "sources" ScreamScape uses are usually sites like KIC. Before Maverick was announced, it was announced on ScreamScape that the ride would be an Aquatrax. Then, when it was quite apparent it was not an Aquatrax, that post disappeared. Even here: http://www.KICentral...opic=11507&st=0 It was rumored that a steel coaster was to be removed at CP before 2010. Did it ever happen? Even when DB was rumored, ScreamScape posted that there was concern that the atmosphere of Beast would be compromised. Obviously that didn't happen. Also, it was posted that DB would have a first drop of 210', 2nd drop of 170', and 3rd drop would be 240' using the terrain. Even when ScreamScape announced that Swan lake was drained, according to their "sources", it was first announced here. Why not just come out and say the truth? http://www.KICentral...c=11233&st=1170 I won't even get into the unethical posts ScreamScape has drummed up.

The reasons for maint. to be on the platform (which is still speculation) can be attributed to many things other than track repair/ modification. They could be using the platform as a staging area for building Halloween Haunt sets or other projects. They could be removing platform parts to be used in other parts of the park. As far as the "red pieces" seen on the track- those could be used as a bridge to get from one side of the platform to another as it is unsafe to jump across the track.

The loose article policy will be argued forever. Neither side is completely right or wrong. My suggestion: don't have loose articles with you. It's easier and cheaper.

Good weather Saturdays during Halloweekends can be argueably busier than a July/ early August weekend. Rumor has it, CP has broken a few daily attendence records on these Saturdays. And what's worse- dispatch times are longer due to some of the normal summer staff that operated the rides are not there since school is back in session. Halloweekend Fridays are usually dead, but as Terp mentioned, only a handful of rides operate. The list of operating rides will change due to staffing. Halloweekend Sundays are usually quiet. If I had to choose- I would do a Sunday. As far as weekends this time of year goes: expect 2+ hours for Maverick & MF, 1+ for all the other coasters. The park is nuts. I personally would not go. But hey- if it is the only time of year you can go- a bad day at CP is better than a good day at home.

Doing a diagnosis or casually observing will not require tools being used loud enough to be heard from FD as reported.

http://screamscape.c...ings_island.htm How ironic. The day after "rumored" work gets posted here and on Wiki, it shows up on ScreamScape. Take a step back and think about this. If SoB was having some sort of TG renovation done, wouldn't the amount of construction vehicles add up to more than one?

It is your imagination.

Time of day/ month and weather has alot to do with how far you can see. On a cold, clear November day you will be able to see much further than a clear warm/ hot July day.
