Defunct or not, it was still an extremely historic coaster. Historic for all the wrong reasons. KI is wise to distance themselves from any SoB association with the new ride. This is why it will most likely be from B&M who has a great track record of uptime & safety as opposed to Intamin. Imagine if KI did go with Intamin & the ride had to be "modified" a la: WT, Maverick or I-305 or have considerable downtime a la: TTD, KK, or WT? Park goers will immediately mention SoB in the confusion. Yes. Worlds tallest, fastest, and only looping wooden coaster is all the wrong reasons...you make no sence You mean sense? Yes, SoB had many notible "-est's" and a loop. It was also those same "-est's" that proved to be SoB's downfall from day one. Now the ride, along with those records are history. Included in that history is: the amount of money spent to "fix" it, the amount of downtime, and the amount of injuries the ride caused. No park wants to associated with that.

Blue prints are so easily made anymore, it could take an engineer minutes to come up with a fake. We do it with CAD everyday at work. A few keystrokes and moving the mouse and **PRESTO** a blueprint has been born. I'm not saying the mentioned print is fake or real, but to say with any certainty it is 100% fake or 100% real is just blowing hot air.

BS was just operating, so it is safe to assume the train destroyed was in storage.

They also have Hurler, eliminating any potential personal jealousy of the park itself. Now KD's location we all can be jealous of. The close proximity to BGW, home to 3 fantastic B & M's which are all: fun, reliable, and (most importantly) safe makes the area near KD a great family destination.

The Ford Explorer is the best selling SUV in the market, it doesn't mean it's the best.Take a cue from newbie TrOy: intelligence without attempting to twist others' opinions.

As much as I applaud Intamin's engineering risks, their reliability & safety record is that of a Ford Pinto. The safe vote is for B & M.

I wish to thank everyone at KIC for all their hard work. It has been a fun 10 years! Perhaps the execs at KIC will accept "donations" to help with the site? I'm sure there is an expense for running/ operating KIC and I (and I'm sure others) would like to help out. KIC has let me take a break from life a little bit each day over the past 10 years. It's only fair for me to show gratitude back!

Someone you/ we know or some other poor, challenged soul?

If I am not mistaken, GK has a specific row for larger guests.

When guests complain about the seatbelts on MF or TTD, they should be referred to this thread. Decisions are not made to **** people off, they are made with your best interests in mind. Nice job homestar! I did a similar remembrance for a friend that was a Steelers fan. I wore a hat to his service, and put it in his casket.

In situations like this, it's difficult to imagine telling someone not to help. For most, it is basic instinct to help. The "Rapids Rescuers" quite possibly saved lives and will hopefully be recognized for their efforts.

I really thought this had to do with KIC's Bavarian Beetle! Glad to hear he is ok!

The cables are also now coated with a wax-like substance to help eliminate the flying shards.

Probably should have, but the probable: "I've done this a thousand times- safely" was said.Safety is never quick.

Just 3 years ago we were discussing the moving dirt piles. Perhaps the ride will be call EVOLUTION.

^ This is a hugging moment.

I don't see any quotes. What are you referring to?

Much like the OP...... STACKED!

Here is the pin for it!

A bit cross-threading going on. But all in FUN.
