CedarPointer

The best I could see happening is another Rocket Rods- say it'll open, then it never does, then quietly remove it.

But that doesn't effect KI's profits. It would likely only take a few years of operating costs to add up to the demolition costs.

Or they could always change the way they count their coasters to get the same number. If they don't count Racer as two or Avatar as a coaster, they could easily do that. Also, did park attendance go down when SoB closed? Not noticeably.

Of course, the company could harvest parts, trains, and other elements from the ride that they could resell, and sell pieces of said ride to guests who may want a souvenir to raise money to remove it on some sonny day.

If he didn't want them to be embeddable, you can easily set them to not be embeddable. And if they weren't meant to be shared with the world, there's the "private" option.

The ride, not the riders. Of course, I thought I'd never use "SoB", "well", and "made" in the same sentence.

That sound that the crate makes sounds suspiciously like the sound SoB makes. (well, made)

Is it just me, or are Youtube tags broken now? If I try to put one in, it ends up like this: VPkQotE4Mjs . It seems like the pre-upgrade ones are actually HTML inside the posts, but I'm fairly sure we're not allowed to use HTML.Edit: I just discovered media tags. Nevermind.

I guess this is sort of related, but still... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPkQotE4Mjs

SoB has not had lift lights since it closed iirc. (did it before?)

Just tested it on XP with IE8 and it works fine.

I think "which could either stadium talks" was my favorite part. What were they thinking?!

I think it would have been a great idea to give a special deal (50% off, buy one get one, etc) to first-time gold/platinum buyers, because, I think most passholders who didn't go, didn't go because they thought the food would be poor quality, old, or some other reason not to go. Another honorable thing I noticed is that they held it even on less-crowded days. We went once when there were about 10 people there for it. It was far better service than I've ever seen at any of the other KI restaurants.

I really, really hope that the Backyard BBQ will continue. It was, without a doubt, some of the best food I've seen at a CF park. Real cheddar cheese, very good potato salad, unlimited soft drinks, good burgers (in my opinion), good chicken- just all-around good food. I really hope to see it continue!

Or remove one section at a time for a few years... (of course, that may not be possible, I don't know!)

JtWkNxn3duA Edit: Youtube tags are broken?

Wasn't Kinzel leaving anyway?

They're all that way. I have pictures of some of the others, which aren't broken.

Well, it can't possibly be bad for them.

Remember, this is the same park that said that SoB was closed for mechanical reasons... Just keep that in mind.

I'm not too worried about the direction that the CF parks will head. I can't see them going downhill, and none of them are going to go anywhere (with the possible exception of CGA) anytime soon, even if they aren't owned by CF. Maybe the new owners will even add decent theming!

OMG. OMG. OMG. I'm... speechless.

I didn't mean remove the whole topic, I meant remove the poll but still have the topic and all posts intact. Like, when you originally create the poll, you set a date for it to end (vBulletin does it this way), then at that date, the poll disappears instead of staying there as a dead poll.

The problem with post karma/reputation (as it seems to be called in IPB) is that instead of using it for its intended purpose, people would give negative rep to people who disagree with them.
