Sounds like a fun day. I have found that skipping the coasters and enjoying the "little" rides can be surprisingly fun for us! Nice TR!

Given his responses, it was easy to see he was the typical "I'm above the rules" person & when he did not get his way, made many accusations.

^ It must have been deleted. In a nutshell: guest used cell on Voyage. Ride op confronted guest and explained cell phones are not permitted on Voyage & free lockers are available. Guest did not like being confronted & accused ride op of harassment. Guest felt compelled to post this on FB. HW answered guest in a black & white tone that it is policy on signage, loudspeaker & website. Guest did not like response. HW responded that safety is priority and there is no leeway. Guest & others accused HW FB response to be unprofessional.

If GR told you this is policy, what are you looking for by posting here?

Is this a new record? The record still is 13.

^ The parts must be on hand. I would guess Delirium being open soon.

Just got home from DKR- yeah, I'm up.

It is possible given it was just raining, and in the middle of a busy Saturday, they used the RR to deplete the FL line.

Clearing/ prep work for any land is expensive. My best guess is the engineering behind SoB was easily the most expensive due to being a brand new concept & all parts (track & train) were custom parts.

Combination of: - pure size. With the exception of Beast, the closest to SoB's 7000' is Voyage at 6400'. - Height. SoB= 218', next closest is El Toro at 181' - Engineering costs for new track gauging & loop for wooden coaster.

I already put CF in time out.If it continues, I will put CF in their room. After that, I'm telling their father when he gets home from work, and he might get out the wooden spoon.

Yes. -Brown. Filling in.

How bout Knott's....

These accomplishments made with a DRASTICALLY reduced initial (before modifications) investment as well. (costs are reported, not confirmed) Voyage= $6.5 million Thunderhead= $7 million El Toro= $5 million Beast= $4 million SoB= $20.5 million

What a FANTASTIC show it is! http://www.shoppbs.org/product/index.jsp?productId=1962828

^ I like it. It's funny how easy it is to see complete bullcrap when the temper tantrum starts. Kudos to the ride operator that stuck to the rules.

For those who believe downtime seem to only surround CF parks: http://www.dailypres...0,2139847.story

So do you know Brian?

^ I believe the reasoning is the fake leg cannot guarantee to hold you in, especially with restraints found on DB, MF etc.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/man-says-he-was-removed-six-flags-coaster-over-pro/nPwk2/ It appears we are unfortunately going to see more of this. I just don't get why he believes "sensitivity training" is necessary. It was terrible some in the crowd were laughing, but the ride attendant was not one of them.

Just the engineering behind the equipment used in hospitals is insanely expensive. Now add in the education for all the individuals involved in your care, maintenance of the building, insurance.... the list is endless...... While I do agree the bottom line of any business is to make a profit, I cannot agree healthcare is expensive because it is what we are willing to pay.

A 25% increase sounds substancial! Until you mention it is only 25% of 15 minutes which is only 3.75 minutes- for the most popular ride in the park. That said, if your wait for DB was only 15 minutes, and 82 people used FL, it sounds like they were marathoning- which will not happen on every ride that has FL. Even if they were, your estimate of a 1 hour increase in wait time is skewed. It would have to be the "perfect storm" for it to happen. Each time: you would have to get back in line for the same ride repeatedly, with the same amount of people waiting in front of you, and the same amount of FL pass holders would have to continue to do the same thing. With the amount of attractions KI has, the chances of all those things happening at the same time are, at best, slim.

So visible- I'm surprised aliens have not blown it up yet.

Aside from the plain fact everyone needs healthcare.....
