Thank you Don for the invite. Can't wait to see the video. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

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.

Same here. Just need to know if I am needed or if spots are filled so I can plan for tomorrow night. Thanks 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.

And is open?Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Heading up there. I heard it wasn't that bad earlier. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

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.

And they still probably wanted $5 for it. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

It's a dead one today folks. Everything is a walk on except DB is a 10 minute wait and FOF is 15z Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

I finally got a baby snap on Monday. Gonna try again today. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

Stupid is as stupid does! Media needs to stop trying to victimize the stupid. I was always taught to take responsibility for my actions no matter what. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

As I will be in another Kingdom not so far away that weekend, and staying away from that mess. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.

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.

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

Take your choice on what 2 will be gone next year. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system.
