Recent article on increased tattoo removal: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/29/tattoo-removal-rises_n_1553125.html People having tattoos have long complained about not being hired by employers due to tattoos because "it is a free country", "freedom of speech", and (my particular favorite) "discrimination of tattoos".

Seeing it, is not hating.

^ Actually, the last two sentences are correct.

So, rust now causes steel to warp. I learn new stuff everyday!

If the # 2 worst complaint you can find is seeking out glue runnIng down PVC, which is not uncommon, SC is doing rather well! And more for your enjoyment! 3. The AR was clogged today, and they still put in more tubes! 4. The water sprays were messed up to where they would not spray properly 5. Many repainted structures are chipping off, like the Didge erm water thingys are chipping. Paint chipping?Wow.... I had NO idea..... It is simply amazing on what can be found if you look long enough. Thanks for spending your money at KI! As a patron, I am glad to have people like you spend so much of their day looking for glue & chipped paint instead of in line for rides!.

There is no reason to mention the fog, as there is no way to accurately inspect anything from such a great distance. Rust does not cause wood to warp. Again, there is zero way to accurately diagnose anything from such a great distance, that said, I am anxious to see the pictures that will be posted that you took with the good zoom to compare to the 2000 pics.

^ You did not mention where you can accurately diagnose the warping from.

What part of the track looks warped, and where did you see it from?

Of the trains being on the track.-Brown- who likes pointing out the obvious.

I talked to a guy in a suit, and he told me it's gonna take much more than a Fast Pass line or a tarp being visible for SoB to run again. How about we agree that trains being placed on the track is a sure sign.

Dogs that bite repeatedly are put down.

I misplaced my car keys once @ KI, but I don't think we are discussing that type of thing.

It's not really the saddle part where your butt is, but the BIGA$$ hook that angles upward in the front. Think of an oversize bicycle seat, with the front part pointing up. It's one of those- yup did it once & I'll be certain to NEVER do it again.

You need to be bigger to understand.

Don't sweat the knees. It's your other assets you need to worry about.

^^ No. Sometimes when an E-Stop is used, the reset is simple as switching into manual, and homing the machine/ ride out. Other times (when maintenance needs to step in), the machine/ ride will not home out due to a switch that needs to be changed (i.e. changing a bit from "0" to "1" in the ladder.) This is only one example in a plethora of possiblities. TTD is a great example of how long it takes to reset a ride. When it first opened, it took an INCREDIBLE amount of time to reset. Today- not even close as most recovery procedures have been experienced.

^ Seriously?? There is actually a override reset button that automatically (not in manual) moves the ride back into it's start position and also resets the start sequence? Please tell me this is not true......

The Peanuts were unavailable yesterday because it was the first game of the season for Charlie Brown's baseball team.

E-Stopping a ride (and most machinery) is not a "healthy" condition for the device. Since E-Stop literally kills (stops) the ride, none of the normal end of cycle procedures are followed. Most E-Stop issues cannot be repeated identically, thus, cannot be planned for. Maintenance most likely open the control panal to see what bits were enaged and which ones were not. Due to safety concerns, there is no overriding "reset" button.

It's great you have a name for it too! My wife and I call it "grocery store mom"

That is exactly it in a nutshell. Stand-ups are/ were a gimmick. Most are not the most comfortable, are not desired, but still have a big price tag. The industry loves fads, because that is what guests want. The last new stand-up was way back in '99 speaks volumes. http://www.rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&nm=na&de=7&page=1&order=-10

I believe KI originally had trams to give an appearance of a "Disney" type park.

They paved paradise And put up an SoB With a big loop, a double helix And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB They took all the trees Put 'em in treated fluid And they charged the people A neck and sternum just to do it Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB Hey ACEr ACEr Put away that gravy now Give me mustard on my dog But leave me the fries and the cheese Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB Late last night I heard the big loop slam And a big yellow crane Took away all my pain Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up an SoB They paved paradise And put up an SoB.......

^ I gotta ask...... have you ever had to pay for replacing an item that was stolen?
