I can't recognize that terrain at all. Anyone care to enlighten?

In case anyone's wondering Great Coasters International has been teasing a new design they're working on on Facebook: The last one was uploaded just today. While there is a very high probability this is not for Kings Island, Cedar Fair has been on a GCI streak and I thought it's worth discussing where this might be for, since it hasn't been announced yet.

March 16....ugh, that's forever from now. And to think, even then it might not be over!

Please please please please with every fiber of my being PLEASE let one of these go through!

Because I was taught by the saying "Hope for the best but assume the worst", and I'm quite content with management now so new management stepping in doesn't exactly thrill me. So I'm worried, yeah.

Ok, Thank You Terp for giving me a straight answer, that's what I was looking for, I was just trying to understand all of this stuff. You poked fun at me when I didn't get it so I tried to understand by asking questions and you got annoyed, so I guess I'm finished reading this topic.

And he's set to block the Cedar Fair sale to Apollo so that he himself can take control of the company, not Apollo?

Well, being a jolly green giant you typically don't get that many rides in the night row....

We're facked.

So he buys up stock at a very low price, then when the time is right he throws out management and replaces it with his own? And he's done this before?

I see. And the person (or company, whatever) who is currently looking to overtake management is.....

So wait, there are tons of lawsuits piling up, it looks like they aren't going to get the 2/3 vote needed, and now there's a hostile takeover? What's a hostile takeover, who's looking to do it, and will it effect current management? I'm confused.

Well with 31% going to Apollo's Chariot at BGE, and 28% going to Griffon at BGE, it's easy to see where a majority of the Voters are from!

Why not save BOTH?

Good. For such a small park, there's just this....something....about it that I like. Kentucky Rumbler is nice, sure, but the park itself is pretty good. The staff? The rides? Dunno. But I' d hate to see it fall victim to the Great Recession like so many others like it.

Islands of Adventure and Universal Florida instantly come to mind. That is my #1 park, over Cedar Point. Despite having only what, 3 adult coasters when I went? It was still incredible. If someone asked me if I would rather go to Cedar Point or Universal Florida, I'd spend all of 2 seconds deciding.

That means you do care somewhat, to say you do not care would be you Couldn't care less..... That also sounds very insensitive by the way.

Make that 2.

Wow. I'm just speechless. I mean.....wow.....I just.....wow...... Jackson, who will organize all of his thoughts (And screaming) into a full post when he gathers himself....

I want my baby Diamond back! I can't wait for April 17!

When you get older on this site you'll realize that the Interpreter does what he does, tries and typically (Blue 300 foot B&M's at Cedar Point aside) succeeds at informing the good people of KIC about a various many things. He does not require or even attempt to make sure everyone understands him, for he phrases things the way he does to make his posts as accurate and objective as possible. He even rides coasters, too! Here's to you, Terp!

Oh come now Terpy, this isn't boring (The boring topic is lying around here somewhere, it's got Apollo in the name) it's just long. And really complicated for 9 at night. I can only imagine the reaction when the park map is released, or on opening day. I think there's a very good chance that Son of Beast will or will not open on April 17. Good. Now there's my contribution to this last 2 pages of logic.

A. If you're counting the 2006 incident, it's hard to say that was under Cedar Fair considering they took the reins only 2 weeks before. B. If you're talking about the lady who was injured in May that sparked this entire craziness, I hardly call that an "Extreme Accident" considering that even after nearly 8 months there's still very little light on what happened.

And if it doesn't go through, what else is there for Cedar Fair? No one else is offering to buy, so most likely, Bankruptcy. Whoever is opposing this deal is either stupid, greedy, or both.

If you're doing maintenance on roller coasters and can't stand heights, then frankly you're in the wrong line of work.
