Thank you SO much for sharing these! Everytime I see photos of the canoe "ride" it blows my mind that anything like that ever existed at an amusement park...nowadays I think it would be called "Lawsuit Waiting To Happen".

Now let's see...the topic clearly states: Selling off my entire ride/park postcard collection But then there is this: Isn't that clearly false advertising?! Shaggy...you had my hopes up when I saw your thread...only to dash them. I guess I won't be buying myself a Christmas present from you after all. I feel like i'm on the "Island Of Misfit Toys"...I guess i'll just have to go to sleep and start dreaming about next Christmas. Have a VERY Merry Christmas!

And this is what I get on one of the computers that I use: As you can see the reply box is almost all covered up. I can not click in the little opening and start typing my reply...the only thing I can do is start typing...I am typing in the blind and can not add emoticons or make anything bold etc... Trying to include another posters quote is pretty much impossible because I don't know where I am typing. Replying to a PM is also the same...so I don't bother. As stated earlier, I don't know what is different about the 2 computers...both are using IE.

I have this happening also...but only on one of the computers that I post from...the other one is fine? I can't figure out what the difference is between the two computers that is causing it.

I know that. I meant it more like he wouldn't be "God" and do whatever he felt like...he would now have to get approval from HIS superiors! On a side-note...whenever I punch on one of your links it opens it up in the same forum window...on the "old" forum, didn't they always automatically open in a seperate window so that you could just X them out and still be in the same spot on the forum?

For those who think Mr. Kinzel will still be controlling Cedar Fair's destiny, read that quote again. And again. You would know better than I...believe me, I KNOW that...but couldn't he just mean that now he has someone to answer to?

Thanks for posting the link...and yes, I did read the whole article. I would have liked to have seen them add "And they gave long-time company employee Scooby Doo the pink slip". (Yes...i'm STILL bitter! )

I guess it depends on how you feel about Cedar Fair whether you like this headline or not!

When The Interpreter mentioned Apollo's Chariot, this Halloween Haunt display came into my mind instantly: I wonder if they put it up next year if the park management will also be pulling the chariot while the Apollo management team ride in comfort!

That's too bad. I have always thought he looked a lot like Walt. I would imagine that if you were ever at a cemetery and noticed Michael Eisner dancing you could assume that you found where Roy was buried.

So now there's a positive quota required from each member? (I bet CF had a hand in this rule! )

As of now I am not a big fan of the new look...it seems a bit "cold"...too business like...but hopefully it will grow on me.

And I can attest to this fact...Avatar has helped me & my family out quite a bit with his helpful tips. The man knows his Disney!

(emphasis added) At least one person here has very carefully tried to show both sides of the issue and not engage in hinting, guessing or speculation. Regardless of how many posts that person may or may not have. Ahhh...but he didn't say that everyone had POSTED their guesses...i'm speculating that even that one person has been guessing right along with the rest of us! (Now if I only had a hint of who that one person was/is.)

Just counting down the moments 'til The Interpreter "answers" your question.

OH...so we're gonna start insulting each other eh?! Believe me, I know that...and the OLDER you get the more you notice it...but like I stated way back in my first post in this thread...it doesn't mean I have to agree with it or help it along...to do that is to admit defeat.

There will always be things that are out of reach for everyone...even Bill Gates...and I accept that. With 5 kids in my family, and only my father working my family could not afford to go to Disney all while I was growing up...but we always found fun things to do...and Kings Island was always the "topper" when we would go. I still just like it that once you are somewhere that everyone is "even".

As Homer Simpson would say "It's funny....because it's true". Thanks for posting that!

I understand that...and I kind of agree that you are right...but I don't really think 3% will keep anyone out if they want to go. (I am not talking about corporate group sales.) My comment WAS meant as just what I found amusing/interesting...a 3% extra charge on a Season Pass for the WHOLE year which would amount to $3 + something is considered too much...but $10-$15 to line jump for ONE DAY is considered fair! I just thought it was funny...that's all...really.

Now it's MY turn for a question that I just have to ask...why is a $10.00-$15.00 charge to line-jump for a day considered "cheap"...yet a 3% tax is considered expensive? Now why am I not surprised by this?! Yeah...I know...i'm asking for it now!

You will notice that I did not hint/ask for a bribe though...so i'm not a "perfect" Illinoisan...yet. It was not at all a slam at any employee of McDonald's...it is just that (whether they want it or not) I pity anyone who has to work at any fast food restaurant...by that I mean behind the counter...I would not wish that job on too many people. I have known people who have had to do it...it is a pretty thankless job. And before goodyellowkorn182 starts analyzing me again...I will admit I do have an inferiority complex when it comes to fast-food employees...anyone who can do that job day-in, day-out and keep smiling is FAR superior to me. Have I dug myself into any new holes with this post?

I do see a difference...the park has it's REGULAR operating hours...the Gold Pass members are paying extra for the additional operating hour(s)...so a normal pass-holder or ticket holder is not affected...at least not as blatantly as letting people walk right in front of them. I am always amazed when you & I end up on the opposite side of a topic...and remember when I posted that I would hire you if I ever owned the park...well, your butt better start rethinking this subject now...otherwise you can start filling out that McDonald's application now!

^It COULD be if they got a new driver who is as good at directions as I am.
