I think this is about as bad as the threats made to kids running a fan site years ago. They were threatening to take legal action against some good people for not censoring the site to their liking. That did it for me and I haven't been back to KI. They can tell me what to do at KI but, it's not going to happen outside the park. I guess trying to cover up accidents are for your safety.

Top Thrill Dragster Incident
Captain Picard replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
In the report it's clear to me there was a problem from looking at the pictures. This could have been avoided if they would have looked into it. The rust, rub marks and bent metal clearly show it was coming. The bolt had rust in it where it had a fracture for some time and didn't just happen. To me it looks like the train wasn't tracking where it should have been for whatever reason. -

I was in line for Delirium with him it's first season. It didn't have much effect on my life but I do remember it. -
I’m Writing the First KI History Book!
Captain Picard replied to KIghostguy's topic in Kings Island History
I remember The Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island. I have a signed copy of that one someplace. -
The abnormal ECG has Q waves that indicates a past heart attack. The owner of that ECG should avoid all rides and eating at the park.

I seen the Globetrotters when I was in school. They must have visited schools back in the 70's and was entertaining back then. I remember some professional Frisbee players visiting my school back then and they was just as or more entertaining than the Globetrotters.

I would bet there are people that was injured on that SOB that don't even know it. The amount of riders over the years it operated that could have had an injury would be staggering. The kind of injury you would have got from SOB can take 10 years to fully manifest. I have talked to one of the Doctors working on these injuries and you would be surprised how easy it can happen.
