Reds Hall of Fame Grille
I don't see this much effort & expense going into this type of a themed atmosphere only to show one team/ game a day.I also love the location. For parents who choose not to partake in some of the larger coasters in the area or the park's main water ride now have a very nice option relatively close to sit back & relax. When our kids were still very young (breast feeding too) I always would get a horizon suite at Breakers Tower so the wife & kids had a place to relax while I went to TGI Fridays & "relaxed" too. Often times a Tribe game would be on. We always had Motorolas so that we could still converse. It worked out perfectly.

That makes zero sense.Admitting a transgression should come with a benefit, not the same result as lying.

If the rule was known prior to the actual offense (as in the case with Rose) I would agree with you.

Not sure what us worse than gambling, but that is your call. The 1919 Chicago Black Sox paved the way for gambling to be treated as the # 1 unforgivable sin in sports. Pete's only saving grace was that he didn't bet against his team. If he would have just came clean, there is no doubt he would not only be in the HoF, but he would have been managing again.

As much as I do agree that Rose belongs in Cooperstown, he dug his own grave. Fay Vincent, MLB commissioner during the Rose scandal, knew he was 100% guilty. Rose knew he was 100% guilty. Vincent simply drew a line in the sand and gave Rose an ultimatum, come clean or face a lifetime ban. Rose took the lifetime ban. He deserves exactly what he asked for.

I do find it humorous that for many years many people have voiced displeasure that KI has too many franchise food options, now when something unique is offered, many still voice displeasure.

The reason you won't eat there is because the theme of the restaurant does not fit the name of the area located?I suppose you will not ride DB either given it's theme & location?

Geauga Lake land will be sold -- in pieces
^ My subdivision has no such restrictions, and if they did, I would never have bought my home. I also don't see how there is no master plan. Full article:

Cedar Point/Six Flags Great America questions
We often will do a 1.5 day trip. Sunday late afternoon/ evening & all day Monday. Sundays in May & first two weeks of June & during Halloweekends are usually great times to visit.July & 1st two weeks of August will be the busiest of the season- no matter what day you go. Halloweekends Saturday are (weather pending) the busiest of the whole year. Visiting CP on "dead" days is not an exact science. Plan for the worst & hope for the best.

Disabled man claims Six Flags violated Americans with Disabilities Act
The "rule" that you must be able to grasp something is more for the ability to evacuate safely than to hold on during the ride.Same goes for those in wheelchairs. They need to be able to climb into the car w/o assistance so they are able to safely exit the car in the case of an evacuation. The easiest standard is to prove guests can physically strap themselves in/ out.

The park has zero control what ride manufacturers determine to be a "safe" rider. If a manufacturer spec changes, the park has to as well. Unfortunately, different ride ops see things differently. I suggest a visit to guest services so that it cannot be misunderstood.- Disabled man claims Six Flags violated Americans with Disabilities Act
We really don't know if the park is not being consistent.The easiest: we really do not know if the person in question is being honest about being on the ride before. I know that parks I visit often during the year the ride ops get to know me by face. Given this person's unfortunate condition, he would be even more recognizable. I have no way of understanding his frustration given how capable he is, but to be consistent, certain criteria needs to be met. He does not. This is an issue that will never go away. Ride manufacturers cannot design rides for every handicap and still maintain a budget. I wish they could.- Kings Island Valentine's Day

Welcome to OHIO where your FUN will be taxed to death!- Flight Deck Removal?
"Fanboys", or as I refer to them as enthusiasts, go to the park so often, they recognize the little things, most often in a negative light. They also have this belief they are entitled to certain things because they visit the park often. The majority of park guests, non-enthusiasts, do not recognize all the little things like a boring 2 minute walk to a ride. The park makes decisions for the majority of their guests. Do they listen to enthusiasts? Sure. But the park cannot act on every enthusiast demands or they would go out of business because enthusiasts will never be satisfied.- Son of Beast History Book

Thank you for summing up where we are going wrong with society today and our dependence to keep our minds occupied other than imagination. People now "need" something to occupy their time for a whole 2 minutes instead of actually using real words to converse with another person. Even if you are alone, strike up a conversation with another person in line. I have met some fantasic people waiting in line for a ride. - Disabled man claims Six Flags violated Americans with Disabilities Act
