Hard to say. I'm guessing it's a primer.

The park will open, as long as laws allow it. Even if it is in August.

I totally forgot about Windjammer, Just watched the POV it looked boring and having just rode the Roller Coaster at New York New York, I can say I have no interest in riding any other Togo coasters again. Those restraints are BRUTAL.

I would have been totally surprised if they painted them again.

You'd be right. Certain portions of this might still be under the contracted parts, others would be part of Kings Island teams. I'm guessing groups like Landscaping, the Sign Shop, Maintenance aren't covered under the employee restrictions. Those are probably limited to the seasonal associates.

They are probably still doing construction. They are independent contractors, not employees of the park and they'll want to get the work done so they can get paid.

I don't think it has anything to do with liking your job. It's being compensated fairly for your time. The pay rate is irrelevant. I was making $13 an hour in Park Services, I knew the rules, I made the decision to work over 40 hours.

It's not. However, if this girl wins it is going to open the door to lots of lawsuits.

She's going to lose or Cedar Fair is going to go bankrupt paying all of the employees in the past who worked over 40 hours a week overtime. I regularly worked over 40 hours in both of my stents at the park.

It has reappeared! Rebirth! He is Risen!

This morning when I drove by, the lift is about 1/3 removed and there is a section of track cut out in the middle of the turnaround.

The trains likely weigh more, a lot of the supports are cantilevered and the cars swing back and forth. That being said, the supports are of a different construction so it's not a one to one. I also don't know the construction of the track it self is the same.

As a former Vortex crew member it made me really upset when I heard they were tearing it down. The people I worked with on that crew were texting eachother and upset, so I can confirm there are a lot of people who care.

It would take a very good welder and a ton of time to weld the tracks together, also the connection is probably a little too rigid at that point.

I believe this to be highly unlikely, given previous comments on coaster building cycles.

Yesterday, I could see flashing lights where the helix for Vortex is. You could see it in the Diamondback Cam.

I bet they'll be doing pull through next month.

You want track work done so they can start testing, which would be more exciting than watching them put 3 pieces of track in a day.

I'm fairly certain that Cedar Fair had a similar thing early in their operations at KI, along with removing trains on rides in the rain.

The only time I think it'll hurt attendance is Friday night Haunt, people won't see as much perceived value, especially when other Halloween events are open late. The park really emptied out after 10 PM on Midnight Closes, seemed as though most people assumed they still closed at 10. Park attendance will be up, due to Orion.

All hail King Don!

They are lifting up one of the other pieces now!

Definitely apply first. The job fair is a great place to interview, because they are doing so many interviews that day, they aren't as intense as a non-job fair interview. If anyone wants some pointers, feel free to PM me, and I'll try to get back to you. Keep in mind, you may get turned down for your first choice, but I would have a back up ready, just in case.
