Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom has its own problems. CF wont be buying any parks anytime soon. CF is still trying to see about selling off Valleyfair and another park. But i havent heard anything else about that though. -

Im not sure if this matters, but if they can find ways of saving money on things like gas, electric and water then that could also help in a very small way. A few water parks have went as far as getting into a thing that they would just reuse the water they bring into the waterparks. One waterpark uses the water from a river or lake and filters it before they use it. And just put it back into the river or lake without harming the river or lake. -

This is something that i have seen coming for quite sometime. It wouldnt surprise me if they sold a few parks to releave some debt. -
Absolute WORST park-going experience of my life!
Dalefan replied to IBEW_Sparky's topic in Trip Reports
As has been mentioned before, security does not carry guns at KI, only the park police officers do. And what's this about a shooting in the parking lot at KI...did I miss something? It was when it was owned by Paramount. Was a Gold Pass VIP Friday Nights thing. Was in the season of 2005 i beleave. The story of the fight and shooting was said on another coaster fan site. After that happend they stopped it all together. It lasted 2 fridays maybe 3. I had to look for that Gold Pass VIP thing on yahoo. Found it on another fan site. -

KI putting them in was due to the 9/11 thing. Why Cedar Point didnt do it is hard to tell. I know that Cedar Point has its own police force and most carry guns. I think i seen some KI guards with guns. I know that after the shooting in the parking alot a few years ago at KI, they stopped the thing they had with the dj's and all that. It was something they did in Action Zone. The shooting was due to a fight in the park i beleave that went into the parking alot and someone pulled a gun from a car and started shooting. -
I like the Deal or No Deal arcade game they have in the arcade. Its fun but at the same time it makes you think alittle. Plus you can win up to 200-400 tickets.

During Winter Soar, i think i seen something close to Firehawk in the back where we got the pizza at. Was a model of some coaster at another park i beleave. I have the flyer on what the coaster model is. Just need to find it.

Im not sure if they fixed it yet, but if you renewed a Platinum Pass at Kings Island, dont bet on it working at any of the other Cedar Fair parks. I renewed it at Kings Island on the same pass that they gave me last year since they was doing it that way and i got into Kings Island but not Cedar Point. Cedar Point had to give me a new one. Cedar Point Guest Services had a very long list of names of people who got the passes renewed at Kings Island. It was bad to the point to where i heard the worker in Cedar Point's Guest Services say that the ceo wont be very happy with Kings Island. I got my renewed pass the 1st weekend of May and had to get a new one at Cedar Point opening weekend.

Thats why duct tape was made. Lol. -
Superglue always works too. Lol.

I laugh at people who say that Kings Island and Cedar Point is too much money for them, but they would spend $3,000 to $5,000 for a week trip to Disney.
-
Hence why Disney World charges $75.00 a person to get into the parks in Florida. Lol.

I'm sorry to take this so off topic but I just couldn't let this stand uncorrected. There are only bones below the stadium at UT Knox. No full bodies. These bones are the remains after a body is fully decomposed at the Body Farm, which is the only forensic research laboratory of it's kind. The Body Farm is used to study the decomposition of the human body under a multitude of conditions so that forensic scientists can better pinpoint a time and cause of death in real world cases. The bones are then used for anthropology studies. Bodies can only be donated through a grant made while the person is living. Believe it or not, there is actually a waiting list to be a donor for the Body Farm! Sorry but the Body Farm is absolutely fascinating to me. I'd love to see it myself and study there if I do continue to pursue forensic biology and anthropology as I'm currently doing. I've read up on the Body Farm quite a bit. There are several documentaries dedicated to it as well, sometime you can catch them on Court TV or whatever their current name is for that station. We can now return this discussion to it's regularly scheduled programming! Posted from the BlackBerry mobile device. Thats what i was meaning to say. Lol. I seen that one on History the other day.

They tryed the after market part thing for a gear for the lift one time. It lasted all of maybe 2 weeks to a month before it went out. The part was made in Toledo, Ohio. -
Beleave it or not yes. It depends on what coasters are down. Disaster Transport has a line sometimes. But that depends on the weather too as well as what coasters are down.

Just dont do like that guy did a few years ago. Go out to your car in a open lot during a storm and touch your car and get zapped when your car gets hit by lighting. He tryed to sue Kings Island over it. Not sure if he won.

I was at Cedar Point opening weekend this year and they kept telling this one guy not to sit on the rails. I thought it was odd that he kept moving and wasnt getting any shorter. By the time he got to the front i seen why. He was over 6'5. Lol. This was at the Cedar Creek Mine Ride.
-
I hear you on that one. That would suck seeing what they really put on the pizza's. Lol. Joking.

I heard that someone got killed on Diamondback. I also heard that the park was gonna bring back King Cobra and The Bat. I about died when i heard that from a person while in line for Diamondback. Teen girls are the easyest to scare about rides. I told 3 that when Top Thrill gets stuck on top that you can only get down one way. They asked me what it was and i said that you have to slide down the tower poles. This was while in line for Dragster. They left the line all scared. I cant beleave they beleaved that. Lol. I did tell them later when i seen them in the stands at Dragster that i was joking and they got it. I did say that it getting stuck on top happend only once or twice. They wasnt bothered by that.
-
Well thats one way of cooling off at the park on a hot day. Lol. I hope all is ok.

Force being fixed by CoasterMania will depend on if they have to get the part or parts from Intamin, which is in Liechtenstein. I have no idea where thats at but i am guessing its in Switzerland? -
A F-6 is very very rare. I did hear that on The Weather Channel.
