What kind BS of comment is that? Have there been issues at other CF parks that only you know about? Or is it you have an axe to grind over something you refuse to understand?

After reading the reports, I am still astonished that security did not do more. Unless there is something that we don't know.

It's crap like those accusations that could ruin a person's life. I am rather shocked that this father even did the interview. True or not (in this case NOT) people remember things like this, and the accused is labeled forever. Thanks to NBC for showing "To Catch a Predetor" as well to other media outlets for releasing such sensitive information dealing with this type of crime that has made everyone over-sensitive. Sure it does happen, so we shouldn't stick our head in the sand and ignore it, but, until the accusations are proven real, the media should not be allowed to release the defendant's name or personal information much like a person under the age of 18 information is not released.

My first guess: $3.4 million might have something to do with it. That is a BIG undertaking. Nice pics and article Ronnie!

Mantis is really one of the worst B & M's. Now with Georgia Scorcher; Togo won't even be thought of.

Well if the owners of the land want a football stadium, that is up to them. They just have to come up with a good enough deal that will break the lease to make Mr. Kinzel happy. I'm sure the Astroworld incident is still fresh in the minds of the powers that be at CF. Beacuse at this point, that appears the direction this is going. If your guests have nowhere to park due to a football game, business will be lost. Not only on the day of the game, but in the future.

KCKC for me. ... and at CP: WWL or Fascination. I had a great time playing "the most exciting game at Cedar Point."

Is Kinzel really playing hardball? I see him as a president protecting his company's best intrests.

Yeah, don't ask the Dippin' Dots guy. He is full of crap. Now the Cabana Lady, she chaulk-full of secret information! I personally stand at the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower after scanning the area for new construction. I haven't been there in a while, but with the footers being poured behind Crypt, you could get a good idea of the layout.

You like Chaos huh? That is one of two rides (the other being Tilt-a-Whirl) I am very happy to watch my wife and kids ride from a comfy park bench. I just know how to avoid the gulls...

^ I can't hear you. What did you say?

Sounds like you had a good time despite some rides being down. From what I have heard, Raptor had a issue with the lift. It is rumored that they were replacing the lift chain since it took so long to fix. And issues with Raptor are rather unique. I can only remember a handful of times it was down, and most of those issues had to do with wind. I am also assuming that it was an "emergency" repair due to the time of year. Besides Halloweekends, the couple weeks around the 4th of July are traditionally the busiest weeks of the season. And from some of the wait times you described, it seems the same way this year. As far as Witches Wheel goes; apparently the entire ride just stopped while in the up position. It is back in service. And in response to the rude ride op in front of TTD: yeah I have ran into those ops before. While they should not have that type of attitude no matter what, I would not want their job of telling a guest every 15 seconds that the ride is down, and they have no idea what is wrong with it. Nice TR.

Those pics were taken by KIC's own Gordon Bombay some time ago.

I wish my mother-in-law was that way!

^ Yeah, now here is the kicker: Japan has strict regulations that all available areas of coaster track have a cat-walk to walk safely off. And in this particular accident, when the axle broke causing the train to derail, it sent some of the coaster cars right into the cat-walk that you see in the pictures. You can also see from the RCDB pics that practically the entire coaster as a cat-walk available.

How will Busch sale affect Williamsburg brewery, amusement parks? http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news/busines...07-14-0180.html

That is really funny! Press release: http://www.anheuser-busch.com/Press/PressI...S%20RELEASE.pdf

So your reliable sources were giving you estimates? That just doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't your reliable sources be giving you exact numbers and not estimates? What is that term about bliss... I never said that my reliable sources were giving me the estimates. If you want estimates just go to any Kings Dominion fansite. Also Cedar Fair dosnt let attendance records out usually until the end of a season. As I said before im just reporting on some interesting information that I thought people would like to here. OK, you have me lost. Exactly what did your reliable sources tell you since you brought them up?
