In any lawsuit, sufficient evidence is necessary to even get close to a jury trial, and all evidence needs to be presented to the defense prior to said trial. Any defense attorney will file a motion to dismiss due to insufficient evidence, and at the motion hearing (only in front of a judge) if there is insufficient evidence presented, the lawsuit will be quickly thrown out without the defense having to "defend" itself. If motion hearings did not happen for these types of things, out judicial system would be backed up 100x worse than it presently is.

^That sounds great on paper, but never happens in reality. A typical injury attorney only gets paid if the plaintiff receives a settlement/ judgement. Given that this particular incident is anything but typical, the attorney willing to take the case is the worst of the bottom feeders as they are, in fact, encouraging the frivolous lawsuit. Also, evidence is most certainly necessary. Simply filing an injury lawsuit does zilch without something backing it up. If there is zero evidence, the paperwork used to file the lawsuit is worth less than the paper you use to clean your backside and will quickly be thrown out. That said, is there a particular lawsuit where a business settled without being presented with evidence that you are referring to? I'm anxious to hear about it! KI and other like businesses have lawsuits filed against them almost non-stop. We hear only a small handful, if that. If each business paid just because they were presented with a list of allegations, and no evidence, none would be in business today.

Many words surround the Fair Board."Cents" is one. "Sense" is not.

The longer time passes, the less likely anything happens. The Kochs pulling out speaks volumes. Ed Hart barely speaking (as opposed to before the Koch's pull out) speaks even louder. Instead of when, the bigger question is actually who, as I cannot imagine a first time amusement proprietor jumping in at KK given the baggage it comes with.

^^CF has attorneys on retainer as well as in-house (since CP is self-insured) for this type of thing, but what you are failing to understand is the attorney making the claim also has to make an income as well. While It could get expensive for CP if it actually goes to trial, the initial costs fall on the accusing attorney. If his time is spent on frivolous lawsuits like the one being discussed, I seriously doubt he has much capital to take on this type of lawsuit. Evidence is needed to make the claim, but most importantly, it is needed before it ever heads to trial. The accusing attorney had to present enough evidence that KI is responsible for the injury (physical evidence & witnesses) and a large part of obtaining evidence for this type of case is to pay for it as well as hire someone to investigate other similar cases.

^ The high in Sandusky will be 95, but at CP, since the Lake Erie water temp is about 75, it will be cooler.

I'm glad you like to hear yourself talk, repeatedly. The rider safety guide was linked only for to your "defensive riding" comment. Yes, lawyers can sue for anything, and will attempt to. But in this particular case, a lawyer could sue, but for what? A bloody nose caused due to someone not riding properly? Good luck, especially if this is the best case an attorney can use their time for. Ever consider who wrote the rider guide, and the reasoning for how things are defined & termed? Think about it....

^^I don't believe he is saying that, but the rider did not have his head back, facing forward, and holding onto lap bar

Another apples & oranges comparison? First Universal & KI, now SoB & Beast?

List of productions filmed back-to-back from Wiki, so take it for what it is worth (although I have have heard of most): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_produced_back-to-back My understanding is Rowling wanted final refusal rights on all aspects. Disney refused; quite possibly due to knowing Avatar was available with 2 movies in the works while the HP movies would be ending in 2011.

Vinnie Testacles played for the Jets, not the Giants.

I am not certain about SC, but the local indoor waterpark does use a " dummy" to train & keep the lifeguards on duty on their toes. I can only hope the same goes for what you observed. If not, that is one sick person & a cruel joke.

Since Disney lost out to Universal for HP (and IoA attendance going through the roof), I can see Avatar going in big at Disney.

Funding questions resurface for San Francisco 49ers stadium after board yanks $30 million but should not halt construction. http://www.mercuryne...-after?tw_p=twt

I forgot all about that!Well done!

I can see why (I am not saying it is true) the park could be less focused on KIC due to reaching more KI fans through FB & Twitter.

Lemme guess, they didn't tweet.

Gauges are, well, gauges. Plugs are what bald people use to not be bald. Tunnels are what cars drive through. Stretchers are what medical people use to carry injured people.

What? Why? I seem to be having trouble posting with my phone today, that wasn't my intended post. There are not six cellphone towers over mid-america. Is that anything like "middle earth"?

That is rather conservative.... Imagine all the: "terrible decision, I'm never going to KI again" on their FB page.

Are you that brain dead? I was asking about the announcement, not what they are going to do with SOB. Might want to process what you read just a tad longer before making a comment.

In all seriousness: typos & occasional mistakes are one thing. Complete disregard for even trying to grammatically correct is another. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Their_vs_There
