Does your pass have to be processed before you can get into the park the first visit?

You should believe it! I'm speaking for myself, and probably everyone else on this site. We are truly spoiled to have these great, otherwise unobtainable, photos of the park.

I read the different options they had listed. What would the major impact(s) on the park be?

I can figure what most of the stuff is in that video. Where is this at in the park? I think its on IS somewhere...

I was researching old Hanna Barbera stuff on a really cool site (toontracker.com) when I came across an interesting title...anyway I found it on youtube. I've never seen this posted before... http://youtube.com/watch?v=CBOkUJwMXGQ

^That parking lot picture is awesome. Logically, you know it snows @ KI, but its hard to imagine, because its always SO hot as I walk though that parking lot...

Thanks for the replies. Now, anybody know why they keep count?

When you look up a ride, such as a roller coaster at KI, it gives you the total number of riders that have been on it. How do they figure this? Do they keep a an actual running count each cycle, or do they just multiply cycles times some type of average?

I remember there was something like a game show that would go on in the Festhaus. This was early 90's. You would eat while they entertained, pulled people out of the audience to ask them questions, things like that.

A friend of mine that has visited KI since it opened was talking the other day about how people actually went to KI for the food. She said her dad wasn't into the rides that much, but loved the food. Can you imagine anyone saying something like that today?

Wonder why the press release was sent from KI.

^Thank you. I thought that if BBSS was getting a makeover, that would have been big news.

I knew the Walmart thing was a joke, but is that really BBSS or Lt. Dan's with the bulldozers around it?

Its really being renovated??

What is this a picture of?

If you can look past all the craziness, it sounds like the place itself, as an amusement park, had a decent 'theme'.

I just look forward to walking up to the front gate, hearing them test "Invertigo", and walking in. Thats the best part. Oh, and nice weather.

Well, between this thread and the Boomerang channel, I didn't realize how big a Hanna-Barbera fan I was. Those were (are) my favorite cartoons/characters. I find it a real shame that the brand was never "carried on" any more than it has been. Sort of in the way Disney has been able to keep the classics around, but also develop into new areas.

No, it probably couldn't, but then again why would I need it to? Friday I'm driving from athens to Cleveland then back down to Cincinnati and will probably only have to refill once, if at all. I'll take the gas mileage over off roading capabilities or illegal street racing. The days of the muscle car are long gone. My first car was a 78 dodge magnum-it was expensive to run even at 80 cents a gallon. I couldn't imagine that now, but I do miss it. I'm not sure how you define muscle, but today's cars have more horsepower and acceleration than anything ever built.

I'm so glad that my aunt and uncle took me there to eat during our trip there in '92. If only we had ridden the monorail...

What is the status of Hanna Barbera today? Do they have anything current? Well, other than new versions of their original stuff (Scooby, etc.).

I'm not directly involved with sports, but if I remember right, I think its $100 per sport. A large chunk of that would have to go to transportation costs. I believe the going rate right now is $.50 cents per mile per bus for fuel/wear and tear on the bus, etc.

I work for a county school. We're already there. However, its not put into those words. Its called "pay to play".

I guess its like the reason you send Thank You notes to people who bring you gifts. Does not sending them mean you get less gifts? Probably not. Its like anything else. A company can run itself any way it wants to. They are free to pay their executives as many millions as they want. Personally I like to think that the companies that survive in the future are ones that go out of their way for their customers, not just see how much they can bleed from them.
