Yup, 1 of the 3 given was 7 years ago.

Stroller theft seems to be an issue at Disney: http://www.everythingwdisneyworld.com/2009/11/should-you-worry-about-stroller-theft.html http://micechat.com/forums/disneyland-resort/1389-theft-disneyland-dca.html Camera theft at Disney: Six Flags thefts: http://www.wsbradio.com/news/news/six_flags_theft_warning/nj4p/ http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/forums/cgi/forum1.cgi?read=148194 http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/cobb-police-investigate-thefts-547583.html

It's not the same- but better than nothing!

^ Nobody wants Vortex operating more than KI. You may want to call GR and explain your decision to not go to the park due to Vortex not operating, they may clue you in as to Vortex's possible return date.

Perhaps HUSS has fixed the issues that have plagued both maXair & Delirium. Like a fine wine....

Unless KI is stealing themselves, they cannot get a reputation for thievery. It is also not KI's fault that someone is stealing, just like it is not a bank's fault they get robbed (and we all know on how much time and money is put into a bank's security). Going to the park is no different than anywhere else. Why anyone would leave valuables unattended at KI as opposed to anywhere else is rather confusing. If lockers are unavailable, I suggest going to guest services and asking them what to do. I'm sure they will make every attempt to find suitable means to secure your belongings.

Since when do real security cameras deter thieves let alone fake ones?

If there are actual facts to prove the rumor, can it be considered a rumor anymore? Rumors are based upon perception. A person can claim "fact" to most rumors just based on how they want to look at the information (i.e.- remember all the signs for DB and Maverick?).

I was just at CP a couple weeks ago and thought that the old B & M "hook a male" seat has since changed.

Never but Its a new style of trains compared to the TOGO trains used on KC. Oh, you are comparing two different ride manufacturers in TOGO's 1984 KC trains to B & M's 1996 Mantis trains and simply called them new due to the different design.

When has Mantis received new trains?

As was said earlier, end of story.

Not for some. Another enthusiast site (that is better than any other site/ group and has no problem telling everyone that) believes CP's is the worst because the park does not spray the lot down everyday to remove the seagull droppings.

^ Although KI would never make a guest wear a uniform, it would not matter. There would still be complaints that someone's uniform was: too big/ small, wrong color, untucked etc. Some only see want they want to see. If they concentrate on looking for rulebreakers, those committing infractions will be found.

The accident is still very new. It would not surprise me if they changed their minds at a later date.

If it was a brand new chain @ the beginning of the year why would a link be needed on hand? Having a brand new spare link to be installed on a used chain will not work. Earlier when?

Huskers come from Indiana too!

^ I honestly don't believe he meant every 16 year old, but the typical 16 year old, at thier first job, confronting an older person (perhaps adult or group of adults) about following the rules. Do yourself a favor and don't take generalizations peronally. (and get some sleep, you are working lots of hours and seem a bit cranky! )

Vortex's chain could have been replaced before opening day this year, and a replacement chain was put on order and it simply has not come in yet. That is just one of many could haves in a long list of possibilities. Sometimes $^#t happens and it does not mean CF is cheap cheap or don't stock spare parts. CF does not have a long history of having rides down for typical wear & tear part failure. Now suddenly they are being cheap? On a side note- it is rather humorous that many people questioned why Vortex being part of ERT and how it was not that popular, and now people are questioning why Vortex is down due to a broken chain and it has now made the print media.

Many small machine shops had to close their doors over the past 4 years. With the economy improving, larger ones now have all their work plus the work the small ones had. Combine that with the amount of work machine shops have due to the numerous plant summer shut downs (maintenance work) it is not surprising the work cannot be done. Or the simple answer is, the manufacturer of the ride will not approve those parts, and we all know that is a big no-no in the state of Ohio.

Yes, I assumed you would be vauge in answering as we both know Haunt only happens at night and not during the day and the park has been rather clear in that Haunt is not for families.

Absolutely. I wonder if Paramount kept that stuff around?

Would this Haunt time be during the daytime or nighttime hours?

I have seen the same things numerous times at the SF parks on a number of occaisions. Disney & Universal?- not so much as they use more engravings than decals.
