Only enthusiasts would claim any of this marketing is fraud. 2017 means 2017. It's simple. Come November 2017 (thanksgiving time) Winterfest will be in full swing. Does anyone really think that Winterfest 2017 starting winter 2017 actually means January 2017?? And why would Winterfest run past December 31st? Next people will be complaining that Winterfest is a Christmas event and it should not start till after Thanksgiving.

I guess they are trying anything??? (which I will give them credit)

Is it wrong for a small part of me to hope the RMC conversion happens??

My guess is- it was ugly, we know it was ugly, remove the ugly- don't rehash the ugly.

What part of Haunt?I'm guessing the Halloween part.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Simply awesome!

What part of Haunt?

That would be a major disappointment. I can't see it happening.

I have posted this a few times, but still my favorite.

Bring her to Kennywood, Hershey, and BGW next time. If she feels the same, tell her to stay in FL.

Use the logo that was painted on the ground leading to the queue and go with: "The coaster formerly known as......." I thought it was to be Thunder Road pre-Paramount?

I'm still baffled why CP hotels would rely solely on Sandusky treated water for firefigting use when you have Lake Erie right there. Fire departments often use ponds/ lakes etc. when lacking a water source.

I can remember Mean Streak's first year. The long line, no breeze, no shade, and the absolutely horrific brake screeching coming from all over the coaster. Much like SoB, it looked REALLY REALLY good, but the experience did not measure up. CP has tried countless fixes and some worked for awhile, but time did the fixes in and it was still a bit rough for many. I could not find any pics of the work done at the bottom of the lift hill, but wow, if anyone has the opportunity to take a look, you will be surprised on how much the track has been modified to keep MS from tearing itself apart. With the exception of SoB, I hate to see any ride removed. Hopefully, CP has great plans for that area.

I can see both sides. Expressing disappointment because the ride that was anticipated is not going to happen (i.e. giga), should be expected by everyone, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. This is a forum. It would be terribly boring if everyone thought the same way. But why make your opinion known on the forum in a separate thread (using CAPS in the title so it can stand out), and then have no interaction when other members disagree? It does come off as: "I'm going to stir up the pot with my own view, and watch it boil over." Now add in the line about CP having a serious bug infestation...... LOL! It's a park surrounded by water. What do you expect? Lake Erie is known for their mayflies. So much, there is a website dedicated to them: http://www.mayflynews.net/ There is little that anyone can do to influence Mother Nature to keep bugs away from CP, just like there is little CP can do to keep seagulls away (another gripe by many that is also laughable).

IT'S A TREEHOUSE TO FIGHT OFF ALL THE NAYSAYERS!

So the CF additions of DB & Banshee at KI are not considered big or best?

It is there, you just have to know where to look. Hint- use tunnel vision.

Hotel Breakers & Sandcastle were both evacuated due to fire concerns. The whole situation is horrible. I can't imagine the frustration of those on vacation on a Saturday night and CP is painted into a corner.

I can remember when Disney purchased Marvel Studios and fans freaked because Disney will not allow certain violence or language. Once the movies came out, most did not complain. Disney has done a phenomenal job. Same goes for Lucasfilms. Many questoned Disney with Star Wars, and Disney came through. Ride reinventing may be a whole different animal, but I have faith in Disney. I cannot imagine they would remove the staple ToT and retheme it with bad results.

No, I would not say there was room to expand if there was a patch of trees. There is much land that has trees that cannot be developed-take some of the land that surrounds KI.Back to CP, don't read into the comment made. While the property is developed, it does not mean out of room. It is difficult to imagine for many on what ride can be placed in certain spaces. You are catagorizing removal of certain rides/ buildings that CP is out of room. I read it as: since a ride/ building has minimal popularity and/ or high maintenance costs, what else can the space be used for? And then there is the parking lot, which is developed, but not needed to be on Point.

Developed does not necessarily mean out of room. He was very clear that high cost and low ridership have tremendous influence on the decisions being made.

Couldn't??That means a solid yes. A settlement was reached, and deservedly so. But it is also in the best interests of the family. They are very well off and will be under a tremendous amount of public scrutiny for the incident.

Apparently someone with glaucoma.

Anyone can drink at any time. As long as it's responsible. These parents are anything but. They were plowed from the night before.

I have been to KI and CP countless times. I enjoy both for different reasons. I live pretty close to CP (2.5 hrs away) and have close relatives that live 20 minutes from KI (Fairfield then onto Hamiltion a few years back). Prior to CF purchasing Paramount Parks, we had season passes to both CP & KI. But when asked what are my favorites, I immediately say Hershey & BGW. Some may find that strange, but I don't get to those parks as often as I would like, so the attraction is greater (and the themeing both have is off the charts). ..... and I really do not like KD. It's the only park that I have been to that we left early by choice. Three times. But I digress..... Fanboys- please skip to next paragraph. The point is: for most, what we can't have often is more sought after and is looked at in a different light. What we are used to is scrutinized more. Major childhood experiences are remembered so fondly that they trump new adult experiences (1979 Beast in my case- still #1). And for the love of all what is holy- STOP WITH THE: CP vs. KI CRAP. B & M vs. INTAMIN. SoB DID NOT HAVE TO BE TORN DOWN! CF RUINED GL! UGH! Those topics have been beat to death and resurrected so much, even Jason Voorhees doesn't want to come back!! Use the search feature!!!! It's easy. It's FUN. It can be a life changing experience! Honest! - Brown *stepping away from the keyboard*
