Scary stuff. Hope the guests are ok long-term. It will be interesting to find out if this was a park issue or if it was another Intamin design issue.

^^ I was excited for Paramount's take over of the park thinking that it would rival the new Universal in FL. Admittedly I was a older teen not realizing at that time that stacking a seasonal park vs. a year round park is not fair, but on the other hand, the Paramount years could have been significantly better with their additions & general park upkeep. I will say CF has not been perfect, but they have done a great job bringing the park back pre-Paramount.

^ Paramount taering out the 'Tiques & surrounding area is one of my pet peeves. I get that parks need to add things to refresh areas but it would be easier to digest if the addition of BLSC was as memorable.

Not too great for the other......unless you upgrade to +.

^ Don't cut the fun bridesmaid! All joking aside- this type of media coverage is exactly what is needed for all guests who break park rules, specifically: having their phone out on a ride, line jumping, smoking or fighting.

I have seen this suggestion many times over the past few years & I keep having the same question: Why is it some believe that the people starting/ involved with these incidents can't afford the increase? And along with that question- why do some only believe it's teenagers? Like yourself, I do not agree with that as well. Don't punish the majority for what a fraction of unruly guests do. As I have said before- put the unruly ones on social media blast being escorted from the park & charged to the fullest extent of the law.

I remember a time when CF first took over & many here were concerned that with the flagship park being so close, KI was not going to get big rides. 16 years later, 5 coaster additions and over $91 million spent on them has pretty much squashed that concern. And major upgrades to the park's most epic coasters including a paint job that just makes older KI enthusiasts just stop & grin. Not many parks have the same experience. I for one can live for 3 years with the absence of a new attraction- especially knowing the recent history. There is still that large plot of land available where Vortex was at. With today's announcements it appears CF is adding attractions that are nostalgic to some of the parks. Could a version of Vortex return??

^ Totally possible. Maybe CF being tightlipped is out of respect for the victim & ongoing recovery? Or a settlement has not been reached due to not exactly knowing what % of a normal life she will have?

Moving Matterhorn & Scrambler is going to turn the volume up on the demise of Corkscrew- which I don't want to see happen. Ride is meh, but walking under the corkscrew is still really fun. And zero mention of TTD- (edit) other than WM being the 18th coaster.

It sure is! I'd like to know if each set of lift hill wheels (??) are individual of each other or somehow work in tandem with each other. That's a lot of moving parts. Apparently on the original, each train had it's own propulsion. In the POV it looked as if the wheels were in motion.

Interesting tidbit: TTD's tower lights have been on at night for over a week & now the drop side can be seen in the webcam (along with SV drop & part of Gemini). I do not recall seeing this view before. I honestly believed TTD had given it's last rides, but now with the ride being "highlighted" (for lack of a better word) it appears that may not be the case. Or it's just a complete coincidence....

You bring up an interesting point- quality vs. quantity. Which additions had the greater impact? DB, FH, Banshee, MT & Orion. Or 1993 Bat, FoF, SGC, Invertigo, SoB, Flying Ace Ariel Chase & BSC. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your posts. Did you not enjoy the new Phantom Theatre show? If you did, then that would be a new addition to 2022.

This story should be on blast everywhere. Not only for letting potential criminals know you will be caught but steps that are needed to be taken so you are not a victim yourself.

In addition to what year(s) a new attraction was not added to the KI lineup, consider the capital expenditures for each addition. It's not cheap to add rides like DB, Banshee, MT, Orion, major Beast retrack/ redesign and the overall park beautification for 2022.

One interesting observation someone made was that the markers extend East and to the midway, but do not extend West to Camp Snoopy. Perhaps a midway facelift instead of TTD removal? We should know more on Thursday- if TTD is "quietly" discussed I would say that is a good thing for the ride staying. If it's ignored, not so good.

The pink marking usually means temporary marking, but yeah, everything is speculation at this point. CP Rundown has 60+ pics of the different colored markings around TTD everywhere from CS to the Breakers parking lot to BackLotBBQ. I give them credit, whoever took the pics was on the lookout everywhere.

It is curious that there is marking in the actual load station. Even if the LSM rumors are true, why would any digging be necessary there?

Knowing CF has distanced themselves from Intamin coasters for 10+ years who made modifications? Intamin? Someone else? Were there even modifications to the launch/ brake run made? Thinking back to SoB getting modified- If it was someone else other than Intamin what assurances are there that the modifications are safe? Definitely more questions than answers. I still believe TTD will be removed, but if CF can find a way to safely & consistently operate TTD, than we all benefit.

According to CP Rundown on FB, there has been reports of recent activity around TTD: - there is a JLG near the brake run - some landscape bushes have been removed near TTD that can be seen from ID - some blue spray paint markings have been seen in the midway North of TTD station & near TTD photo booth. (blue paint typically means water lines) - the tower lights were on for the first time last night These observations could mean a variety of things from moving the queue line to removing the ride.

Should have escorted them out of line. Last offense is escort them out of the park.

Its nauseating that every time opinions differ, one side has to pull the discrimination card. It waters down true discrimination.
