It's FB. Blow. It. Off.

^I like when parks do that. Same thing happend on our honeymoon at Disney. The ToT car we were in broke down & had to be manually pushed out. The ride ops gave us an option of going to the front of any line at MGM. We chose ToT again.

I am not going to claim to have first hand knowledge of KI's taxes, so the following is just an observation. If KI is taxed like most businesses, the more structures that occupy the taxed land, the more the landowner is taxed.

I can vividly remember WWC having seatbelts, even in 1985. Are you sure you are not getting confused with KCKC?

JUMP!

^ It has a hand crank. This was used recently at CP. http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/246912/3/WindSeeker-strands-Cedar-Point-guests-in-midair

Ok. You are boring.

Each ride is unique (i.e.: ride itself, terrain, park, manufacturer, insurer, state, inspector, etc. Combinations of each also need to be considered.), thus each will have a unique safety guideline. There will be no one overall rhyme or reason for the decisions made.

Watch it be a large swing ride that will break some obscure "East Coast Amusement Park" record. Just guessing.....

Just because you don't hear about it, does not mean it does not happen.

I have learned two new things today.....

August 14th, 2003From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

It was a couple colors under "Top Gun", not just red.

So when the ride name changed, the ride itself changed?I learned something new today!

Honestly, it's splitting hairs, and I'm pretty sure we all understand what was meant.One could bring up an example that the train was at the block brake, with the brakes actuating as the train is passing, then the power going out causing the brakes to be in the normal closed state. Power loss=brakes to engage.

The anti rollbacks on coasters as well as MCBR on coasters are designed so that generators are not necessary. The last thing a park would want (does not mean can't) to do is operate a ride on generator power. This is one of the many reasons both areas of coasters are equipped with emergency exit stairs/ ladders etc. You may find some rides (i.e. sky/ lift rides, MF) that have a back-up generator. Unfortunately, these generators often fail due to lack of use which is why most rides are designed without a generator in mind and also have the ability to use a hand crank. Other rides like Giant Wheel @ CP have to be literally pushed around (20+ employees) to have all the guests exit safely: here is the trick: the guests have to be removed in a "balance" fashion or the wheel would start moving on it's own & then would have to wait until it came to a stop. Many of these emergency exit procedures were experienced in the 2003 blackout.

What makes you think tunnels would have helped?

Call it whatever you want, the poster is delusional to believe KI's cost for anything will dramatically decrease due to the state of the economy. I would really like to ask her why she believes KI is immune to the "recession".

From Saturday:

Umm... yeah, sure. I agree? What do you suggest for those individuals that have enjoyed hundreds of rides on numerous coasters, "enjoy" SoB, then suddenly have a undisclosed medical issue? The ride has left numerous injuries, even after being "fixed". -moving on- You could attempt on stomping your feet about SoB leaving. It won't change a thing. I suggest to get over it and move on. Also- please tell mccarthysnerd hello, and that I really miss him....

Given the amount of time to make this decision, it leads me to believe there are plans for the area once SoB is gone.

Haslam is a business man and made a business quote as I'm sure he would not pump gas at a local Exxon station.He also has $1,000,000,000 reasons to be a Browns fan and dislike "that other team down the road."
