  1. The key word being storys or stories for most others. That is also not exactly a reputable site. Not to mention, just because you read it on the internet does not make the story, or the information in the story, true.
  2. Provided by KIC's own staff: http://www.KICentral.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=39 New 2004 sign construction discussed here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=768
  3. CP removed WWL due to a combination of things. The biggest reason being maintenance. While there are a few exceptions, most of the log flumes that were like WWL as well as KCKC have been removed for the same reason.
  4. Just because you have never seen something does not mean it is not possible. Obviously you have seen wind damage from tornados and hurricanes. Downbursts can be just as damaging, but are harder to predict and diagnose because they happen so fast and are very isolated. Or the prior sign just could have had the condition known as "Vortex shearing".
  5. ^ Edit: Apparently not only do we post at the same time, we fell the same about thois particular issue. 1) Wait times have no indication on how popular a ride is. Shorter lines can also be an indication of a op crew that is on the ball and moving trains efficiently. 2) When a ride has been painted is also not an indication of it's demise. TG is not a ride that many people can see compared to a ride such as Vortex, so there is less importance on how it looks. TG has been painted once since 1993 to the current color (or lack of color) that it is now. In comparison, Magnum at CP was built in 1989 has was just recently painted for the first time. 3) There has not been an announcement for any ride names, not only TG, being changed at KI, yet. I am guessing that when KI does announce that ride names have changed, there will be another ride announcement as well. The reasons for keeping TG outweigh the reasons to dismantle it. - It is a great change-of-pace coaster as well as a good starter coaster - Given the layout of the land that TG is currently on, while it is possible to put another coaster there, it is not exactly cost effective. The removal of TG and construction costs for the new coaster would be more than normal due to the land. If KI wants to install another steel coaster, they might as well use land that is currently not being used at all and thus doing so they save money as well as save a ride. - It is a unique ride. TG is one of 4 left in the US, and 1 of 7 left in the World classified as an Arrow suspended.
  6. How is TG losing it's popularity?
  7. ^ Yeah BW3 is not exactly cheap, but you do get a bigger bang (I guess it would be wing) for your buck.
  8. Has your parents ever driven you to another park besides KI? Only because, when you bring up another park, the information you come up with is wrong.
  9. The original Quaker Steak in Sharon, PA is fantastic. But the franchises, well they are mediocre at best. And their wings are tiny for the inflated price. I would rather go to a Buffalo Wild Wings.
  10. As announced here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11779
  11. But the cable broke as the car was traveling to the top that is when it wrapped around her feet. And the damage was not done until the car came back down and the cable tightened. I would hope that the E-Stop would have stopped the car before it reached the top (or when the operator heard the snap), so there was no way it could come back down without a manual function being engaged.
  12. ^ Something like that. Quiznos has been opening an absurd amount of stores over the last 3 to 4 years. Each franchise costs about $300,000, about 10% of your sales goes back to Quiznos, and you have to purchase all your food, supplies, and equipment from Quiznos. And over 60% end up failing for various reasons, the biggest reason being that they are overpriced compared to Subway. Well even though the business fails, the owners still have to pay Quiznos the $300,000.
  13. The last Bubba Gump just opened October 27th, 2007, and was announced in July 2007. The only reasons for not allowing more at this point could be a water-down effect. Much like the current Quizno's issue happening.
  14. I would think that unless CF does not want to have Bubba Gump as a franchise, it would stay the way it is now. And since it appears that CF would rather have a franchise (TGI Fridays, Famous Dave's, Chick-fil-a, Johnny Rockets, Panda Express etc.) there is a good chance it will stay.

  16. Did you ever consider that there might not be a need to have a big sign that is high in the air?
  17. http://www.kswo.com/Global/story.asp?S=7615502 Two 10lbs. rabbits a week? I would love to watch that!

  20. Hopefully this will help: http://gprime.net/flash.php/postingandyou Just replace "Billy" with "Jackson" and it may be easier to understand.
  21. I guess it is a good thing that I mentioned my figures may be incorrect. But that would still make it lucrative to those in Saim.

    Well the same could be said for many things: That would be the first thing that came to my mind...
  23. So why didn't the families in Siam file in court as well? Or is it because they didn't have to file since the park had nothing to fight?
  24. Dora and Diego are on MUCH more than that. About 2 hours per day actually.
