In the past they would randomly hand a guest a card at the entrance and ask them to give it to an attendant at the platform to give them an accurate time. Im guessing that the chip in the Magic Band is used now.

Kennywood: Large Fight
upstop replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
^^ Now that's dedication! -
B&M Gigas are built for speed....a big drop and small airtime hills with twists and turns. If KI builds a B&M Giga, I hope the use their phenomenal terrain to their advantage. For instance if a lift hill were to begin behind The Racers loading platform and head northward, the first hill could be slightly higher than Diamondback but utilize that very deep valley behind FOF to increase the drop to over 300 feet, maybe add tunnels to that as well...and back there is a wooded hillside where the new giga could have a wonderful night time run similar to The Beast...I'd ride that wouldn't you?

Kennywood: Large Fight

I was in the middle of one of these at Magic Mountain back in the 90s. My mother and I were visiting old friends and she reluctantly went along for thr ride to Magic Mountain. We were in the games area near where Riddler's Revenge is located. There were several kids arguing with a games attendant and security interveneved. Within a few minutes local police were there. As the local police proceeded to handcuff the kids, bystander kids started yelling obscenities at the police and began to gather around. I told mom it was time to leave. Many of you will know how far this is from the main gate. ( It is almost equivalent to walking from The Beast to the front gate.) We didnt stop for anything but when we got to the front gate we were herded by armed swat guards to the gate nearest the water park. The main plaza was occupied by hundreds of kids yelling and screaming at the gaurds about injustice. As we left in groups of about 20 we were hustled behind lines of armed swat gaurds past the tram area to behind Colossus. They allowed us exit through the employee gate. It was a pretty tense situation. When we told our family friend about it he said that stuff doesnt usually happen till summer....lucky us... -
How'd you get over your fear of Roller Coasters
upstop replied to CoasterDirected's topic in Kings Island
I could ride almost anything but was afraid to TTD because of the height. Finally rode it last year and the scariest part was the launch. You are only up on the peak for such a brief time. You get a tiny pop of air at the top then down you go. It was really nothing after all to me. In fact I was in the pullout so quickly that it didnt take my stomach or breath at all.
