L.A. Times Interview With Matt Ouimet
Oldschool75 replied to thekidd33's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
For those who apparently didn't read the whole thing. A look into the future?? "While several parks with beautiful promenade entrances like Canada’s Wonderland and Kings Island will never get gate coasters, Ouimet said a couple more Cedar Fair parks will eventually get “Deckerated.” “If a ride is really popular, you don’t want to take it out,” Ouimet said. “And if it’s not, then it’s probably outlived its longevity anyway.” "One of the biggest challenges amusement parks face is maintaining aging wooden coasters. In recent years, Idaho-based Rocky Mountain Construction has solved the problem with wooden coaster renovations that turn existing rides into wood-steel hybrids with looping inversions." ~ “The revitalization or rejuvenation of wooden coasters is probably a card that gets played for the next 10 years,” Ouimet said. “We are obviously looking at our whole portfolio just to decide what we do with it. The industry has developed some very good, solid players these days,” Ouimet said. “Rocky Mountain is a good example, GCI is a good example. We’ll probably work with all of them before we’re done.” -
I would email Don with that question. I'm sure he'll be able to reply quicker via email then a post on the forum. I believe the intent is for the models to look like the GP, not coaster enthusiasts. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Stakes and markers are not always visible or above ground. But from what I have learned over the years with friends in construction and surveying. A lot of times a initial point of reference marker is "marked" proceeding additional markers. Again this may be nothing. If you want to see for yourself. Definitely a stake driven in the ground with a pink florescent ribbon attached. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DEF3FBCD5743111E!603&authkey=!AN6zHhsvF70VoaI&v=3&ithint=photo%2cJPG

The market is still there as of tonight, and verified by another on this forum. It is definitely not a "wrist band" Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

2016 Gold and Platinum Passes on sale 08/20
Oldschool75 replied to WindingSon's topic in Kings Island
The wife and I have decided not to renew our passes for next year. We are planning a vacation to Florida and decided to use the funds to visit other parks on that trip. I am getting my first Kentucky Kingdom pass though. I can't pass up on 59.99 that includes free drinks, parking and sunblock. I will make a trip to KI next year, just not sure when. But I will again buy a pass in 2017. But next year will be a time to explore other park and stay within my budget. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. -

2016 Gold and Platinum Passes on sale 08/20
Oldschool75 replied to WindingSon's topic in Kings Island
I'm still debating on Gold or platinum. More than likely I'll dump the season long food plan as the food is pretty much not to my liking. Not really any good healthy choices on the food plan that I like. Hanks is good, when it's good. That is few and far between. We are planing a vacation next year to either Cali or Florida. So I may save my meal plan money for that trip. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. -
Video: Full Tropical Plunge/Tollbooths Announcement
Oldschool75 replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island
He did say at 4:40:00 "Stay tuned, there is more to come" I'm sure the parking lot is going to be completely different next year. I'm also thinking this will allow them to redevelop the front of the park. I wouldn't doubt a Carowinds/Cedar Point style front gate/coaster combo either in 2017 or 2018. **Edit Added Western Row KI Drive project overview video -
