Don't count on TGI Fridays going into IR. There are several reasons. Namely renovations to meet several standards as well as renovations to meet TGI Fridays standards. I also do not believe that a Fridays at KI would get enough foot traffic to warrent the costs invloved for the renovations as well as franchising fees.

Maybe...But no other chain prides itself on safety as much as Cedar Fair does. Not to start a discussion that no one can prove. But something tells me that Busch, Herschend, Holiday World, etc... take just as much pride in being a safe environment as Cedar Fair and do it with less height restrictions. I have always been fasinated that a company can be criticized for being too safe. Too safe? Is there even such a thing?

^^^ That is exactly why most do not consider Screamscape reliable. Sure, communicate rumors. But they should also communicate once the rumor turns out to be fact or not. Kinda funny that there was great discussion on this board that mentions the same exact thing dealing with HH. Almost the same words in fact....

Screamscape probably does have this right. Only because the information they have provided really is not exactly Earth-shattering.

Teaser: http://www.niagarasfury.com/ If anyone is going to be traveling up this way to check out RFII at Waldameer, DL, Marineland (don't expect too much), or Kennywood, here is something else to do. I just hope that Niagara's Fury it is not something over-hyped that ends up rather boring.

There are those who think they know 100%. Then, there are those that may know 100%, yet do not comment on the boards. So do you think that those who actually know will talk? Well simply put, if they like thier job they won't.

The Eiffel Tower in Vegas was supposed to be an exact replica, but the casino is located too close to the airport and they had to settle for a 1/2 scale model. Now if Intamin built that one, I am not sure. I can't seem to find the info for that one.

Which are not always very busy compared to KI's one rather busy children's area.

While that seems to be the common opinion among enthusiasts, if CF did not keep adding things, the opinions would not be about concrete but it would be about how they don't add enough to their parks. It is always easy to look for faults when you are the big kid on the block.

And it should be noted that the larger the chain, the higher probability for incidents to occur.

^ Thrill Biscut's avatar come to mind...

CP has always been good for the family. You need to check things again. CP has three different areas for kids rides. They also have a rather large assortment of family rides. More than most parks. In comparison: CP has 51 rides that are not coasters. KI has 34 rides that are not coasters. SFGAd has 48 rides that are not coasters.

I was expecting to find both of my cars on the list. 2001 Grand Cherokee Ltd. (V8) and 2003 Audi A6 (3.0). Neither are what you could say are easy on the environment or pocket book.

Even though comments like this need to be said by media/ human relation type people, the first thing that came to my mind was the SFKK incident.

How could I possibly screw that one up? That's what I get for having coasters on the mind!

Star Wars by far, even with Jar-Jar. Those Kenner toys in the 80's were the best. I still have a Millenium Force, AT-AT, Death Star, Snow Speeder (my favorite), X-Wing... ah the list goes on.... Trekkies are just a bunch of freaks.

^ Yeah, that is quite possible. Meijer's could have ended the deal because they could not justify selling the passes anymore. Are they selling day passes?

Apparently, KI is depending more on walk-up sales and online sales. Unless Meijer's was getting too big of a cut. I'm sure they were not selling passes for KI out of the goodness of their heart.

^ Is it just your local Meijers, or chainwide?

It is great that they added so many safety measures. Yet, I would have thought there would have been cameras already around the zoo.
