I noticed IS changing shortly after Paramount took over. First, it was the music changed to Paramount movie music, then the shops became more "corporate" as opposed to "unique".

I'm sure KI has meetings that determine what land/ ride is expendable or available. When the question of removal is brought up, the answer of: how often is land/ ride used, ROI (maintenance vs. popularity), or refurbishment is discussed. If the park has not put money into something recently (basic yearly maintenance cost for safety of guests, aesthetics of area etc.) it is hard not to believe it is not on the chopping block. Does that mean Timberwolf fits in KI's future? I personally don't see how given how much it is not used.

Being a local, this is fantastic news. But I'm not getting my hopes up. We have heard this same story a number of times over the past couple decades only to have the rug pulled out from under us and another restructuring is announced with new players in charge.

I vaguely remember going to the circus when it was actually under a tent, not an arena. Sad day for many childhoods. We bought our girls to see it 10+ years ago & they were mesmerized. Sadly, we never thought of the animals health.

^ You are correct that 1711.551 covers that guests must follow parks signage. Page 12: http://www.agri.ohio.gov/divs/Rides/docs/Revised Ridebook.pdf

I LOVE the old style log flume. I sincerely miss KCKC, WWC, etc. Waldameer in Erie, PA has a fantastic log flume, no circular moving floor (I will always be a kid at heart), but a fantastic log flume nonetheless. Along with maintenance issues and the continuing emergence of water parks, I believe space (or lack of) has influenced many removals of log flumes. Their footprint is typically so large, a coaster or multiple rides can be put in their place. And as much as I hate to admit it, water rides have some of the smallest capacity numbers due to the weather, cool mornings/ nights etc.

Thank-you to the KIC admins for all your efforts!

I REALLY like the desktop version. I REALLY dislike the mobIle version. It does not seem "clean".

I'll never understand the obsession with the removal of rides. Especially good ones......

So if both Wiki and Screamscape post a rumor it is legitimate?

Interesting topic. I gotta ask: What makes a rumor "legitimate"?

Drinking out of someone's else's cup turns my stomach. I can't imagine how hard up someone has to be to want to steal an unwashed cup and use it. Can't fix stupid.

No, I did not. Glad to hear it is not true!

And another smh moment: http://dailysnark.com/nfl-bans-fans-ordering-jerseys-using-harmabe-last-name/ Kudos to NFL shop for the decision, and *darn* PEOPLE!!!!! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FREAKING MIND WANTS A JERSEY LIKE THIS?????

Doesn't the host park normally get an award similar to CP's this year?

So my daughter's 8th grade class is deciding on their end of year class trip. Some said CP. Some said Kennywood. Others said Darien Lake. And then some mentioned Cincy Zoo because of Harambe being a national hero...... smh

This is the evils of social media. Everyone has their own way of dealing with issues: anger, frustration, hold it in, humor etc. But can any one of truly know of how the other emotionally feels through what is written? I have been called out on numerous occasions for being mean but I was "attempting" to be sarcastic/ humorous and honestly trying to make light of a difficult subject. Yes, it is easy to see someone trolling for emotional responses, but for others, it may be their way of handling things. Social media brings out the best in some, and the worst in most. Some are gonna be idiots, but our options are: hunt them down & stone them, or get rid of social media. .... and I doubt social media is going anywhere.

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.
