Seven Year Season Passes at Adventure Park USA
Yeah I would be p***ed if I bought a 7year pass to a park that never opened, at myself of coarse. I have a feeling many people won't be buying these.But its pretty interesting to see how this plays out.

That's an interesting strategy. Using future park goers as investors.

Coaster Mania is great.(as many other events are) If you were one of the ones who were unable to attend this year. Start planning for next year. Do as I do and declare it a "personal" national holiday. Mark it on all of your calendars at work and home. As someone said to me "We are the bread and butter of the amusement industry" well CP knows how to butter it up. Except for rolling out the red carpet they strive to bring you the best experience for little price or better yet Free! It was nice going as a group and meeting up with others or the occasional run in with DVO or Captin Picard and his wife. Also met MeanStreakLady (thank you for holding my camera) and her husband. And thanks goes out to the food staff for the graet appetizer spread and cash bar. Also the maintnence staff for getting MF running and keeping almost everything else running the whole event. Day 1 6/5/2009 I'll spare most of the details Jesse did a fine job with those. The parts that stuck out in my mind (other than the bugs flying in my ears) was the Social hour and presentation. The apps were nice and plentiful. The drinks were stiff and cheap. Sitting there with Jesse I thought of a song by Billy Joel something about a guy making love to his drink<--- I don't even know were this is going anymore I had a couple Bacardi and Cokes. So it was perfect timing they had the sit down presentation after this. Ron Toomer was a short worded man but the meaning was there. He said he never turned down an idea for a coaster<Never. I didn't ask but wondered if he was asked to build a 5040" high coaster if he would of ERT that night was packed, except for Sky Hawk. I had never ridden this or many other flat rides in fear of getting ill. With my peers around me I gave it a try. I'm so glad I did. The most fun had in a while no reprocusions. Maverick ERT did not work in our favor but the one ride we got that night was rough for Jesse and Zach. I should have warned them how to hang on properly before the ride. It's one heck of a coaster once you've gotten used to it. We had McD's on the way to the hotel. Not very good at all. We waited five min. for our fries and they were old and rank. Econolodge worked out well for me three times now. Jesse said he heard the trains, and I realized that I live with tracks nearby which explains why I never heard these before. Day 2 6/6/2009 Came too early....way too early. Jesse couldn't get that alarm turned off and I thought one of us were gonna throw it through the wall. Jesse was thoughtful enough to bring an air mattress for Zach and I turned over and gave it a kick. He wasn't to enthusiastic about getting up either. Mornong ERT went much smoother than the night before. We hit MF twice went to TTD hit it twice then back to Millie. We met up with a larger group and rode PT and Raptor. We split back up into our group and rode WT as the park opened. Zach and Jesse rode front seat and were able to notice an obscene gesture drawn in the sand. Saturday was less crowded and died out around 5:30. We got a bunch of rides in 15/17 aint bad. We already had a bad wrap going into this thing no use in trying to borrow peoples kids to hit Gemini Jr. Multiple rides on most. We rode TTD 10 times. And still had plenty of time to take breaks and relax a little. Her's some pics I'm sure some will like. I'm gonna try the video but if they don't work I'll send them to someone who can post them. I'm looking forward to some more events this year. I'll probably get caught in a storm not to long from now. Hopefully it's not a bad one Edit: couldn't figure the videos out I'll ask Jesse to put them up later.

Coaster Mania 2009
Hey if I didn't know you better I'd think you like picking on me This trip will stand as my most memorable in CP going history. Thank-You for making the decision to come. The pleasure was all mine. So was our hotel room not photo worthy or did you just forget to snap a pic of it. I have many other details to share but this one sums up the experience we had. Great report Jesse. I hope to get back to KI soon.

FUN LOSES IN ATTEMPT TO DELAY/STOP STADIUM
So there pretty much stalling so it's not for sale with a stadium in the parking lot? Kinda like getting rid of that old chevy in the driveway before putting the house up for sale. I'd really prefer not seeing this park go away in hopes of someday visiting it.

Train derails at Louisville Zoo
Those comments in that article are thoughtless and uncalled for. I pray everyone is ok. This is nightmarish considering what happened at Old Indiana.

05/27/09 Nightmare Trip Report..Linejumping, Please read and help..
I'll give KI the benefit of doubt with the line jumping. This type of behavior is becoming more apparent in today's society. But for employees to make a mockery or light of a serious situation is unacceptable no matter where it occurs. Ecspecialy in a customer oriented business providing amusement. And if the so called manager was acting in this manner it's not expected for the employees under them to act any different. KI will almost certainly take care of this, sorry to hear your misfortune.
