True but I would say there would be little relation to the two projects. At this point T3 is mostly if not entirely in the hands of park maintenance where as a complete remodel of TT would be in the hands of what ever firm is chosen to do the job such as RMC. As long as everyone has been paid, there is no other reason the two can not be worked on at the same time.

There is some equipment back there...I have no idea if it has anything to do with actual construction but I saw some as well from MHF.

They probably just went with it because it it's the 6th slide

Fodor's put this list out months ago. Here is the original article that MSN is basing "their" list on. KK has several posters around the park with a big #6 referencing this. http://www.fodors.com/news/photos/10-best-amusement-parks-for-2015#!1-intro

Will the findings of this report by the HSE be made public? i have no idea how that works... -
I wish I could go to this I love me some local craft beer.

Accident on Alton Towers Smiler
Aaron88stang replied to Bennett's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
They are all shorter trains with multiple trains on the course at once. It sounds like a change in operating procedure will be implemented on these rides. -
That is indeed a valid and good question, but if the claim can be legally made is it still not decent marketing to tout something like that?
-
Dynamic pricing is always going to upset someone...They probably should have just pushed the cheap season passes in Indy and Nashville rather than cheap day tickets.
-
I have not been to Great Wolf but it does look nice. My point however is how can we bash them for not advertising and then turn around and take another swing when they do? Is this conversation still a reasonable critique or are we just going after KK for every single action/inaction good or bad? The former can be very interesting to read and discuss, the latter not so much.

The more I read about this, the more I am convinced it was operator error. This is a very sad situation for all involved. -
So for all their faults are we now knocking them when they do run an ad and in such tout a positive about the park. KK does have a pretty nice water park (even if all the slides are not open at the same time...) No offense man but I just don't how this is a negative. It's one thing to discuss the parks missteps here in hopes that they do certain things better in the future but some of the posts here boggle my mind. If a national newspaper ranked them as one of the best water parks in the US I would expect they run that in an ad and be proud of that.

Have there been any reports of any other rides with those trains being closed as a precaution until the investigation is complete? Why has this particular installation been so problematic when others have not? My gut feeling on this is that theory of the ride being in maintenance mode is probably correct. -
My fingers are crossed it will be open on the 7th...breath not held, but fingers crossed.

I personally don't have a problem with him. I know he is polarizing to some. I have encouraged two other people to join his club.

I too am Club TPR. It is a good value for all you get whether you like Robb or not.

Carowinds' Thunder Road to race no more
Aaron88stang replied to jsus's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I am sure it will be a nice park, I just hate to see history destroyed when it could be saved. I am planning on visiting this season. It looks like my plans are going to have to be bumped up so I do not miss out on riding this classic. -

Terpy do you know if this is a park level decision or from CF? If so,can you share? -
you may be right but it just seems like a dumb error to me.
-
Do you think maybe the reporter heard them wrong and quoted "7" weekends instead of "several" ? It makes no sense for the park to say they have been open longer than they have for the season, especially if they are talking attendance.

I really fail to see any logic in this decision... -
It seems like they have their hands full with T3 currently...
-
Marketing most of the time is saying exactly what you can get away with legally...0-600,000 guests year over year...That makes their claim probably "technically" true...sounds good to the dumb masses, er GP, but certainly laughable to those of us that follow the industry a little closer than your average park goer. Hopefully for the parks sake they can make a similar claim next year. I'm not holding my breath but I wish them well as I really want to ride a remodeled Twisted Twins in 2016.
