CedarPointer

No November 1st this year.

Well, how many of us* have been in the park since November 1? *that do not work for Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and therefore could speak freely about anything they saw

Am I the only one who mentally finished "Ki's Online Store" with "...is terrible."? Just delete anything after the .com in the URL and hit enter.

The benches are right here.

If they slap dancin' Snoopy next to the KI logo next year, I may just cry.

You never know! (I didn't think that'd be the first thing someone would notice... something much more obvious is gone too!)

There are good reasons to leave it on. For one, it gives a good point of reference for someone trying to find, say, Flight Deck. "Oh, it's over by the big wooden coaster!" And they left Action Theater on... You never know, the map could look like this next year!

Keep in mind that SoB was not featured on the Haunt map. Someone at KI surely knew that removing it would spark rumors, but did it anyway. I think that speaks for itself.

Okay, good.

Actually they are Millennium Flyer trains. http://rcdb.com/4274.htm?p=23326 You do realize that's not the same ride... right?

Oh dear...

CF keeps most of the park nice. Honestly, how many people do you see in Tower Gardens? I'd rather they spend their landscaping budget in other areas which have more traffic. Tower Gardens is the exception, not the rule.

But if it were to save quite a bit on, say, track maintenance costs, it could save them money.

I think the main thing is that it could have EASILY been placed in Action Zone. It would have fit the theme perfectly, and looked much nicer from the top of the Eiffel Tower. (please excuse the poor photoshopping, obviously Slingshot wouldn't be removed)

Not that I knew of. Everyone has to have a gold or platinum pass to enter the ERT area. ...or a Kroger card...

And, honestly, "Tiger Woods has fallen in love with a lot of women." would be a fairly decent explanation which wouldn't convey the full magnitude of what he actually did. (giggity)

I think it's pretty funny. Now, if they added a reference to their very own star's unfortunate mishaps (Miley's pole dancing, Vanessa's... incident) it would be even funnier.

And next on the list of things that KI needs to bring back (along with The Beastprints and the Action Zone sign) is that compass. It's awesome. Even if they replaced the Eiffel Tower silhouette with that CF flag thingy.

2003? Really?

That's like a inverting, lying down version of Delirium, right? Like this?

Disneyland was too cheap to bank the curves on the PeopleMover track, so the ride had to slow down for each curve. This put a lot of wear and tear on the wheels. Also, it broke down all the time. And, since the PeopleMover track wasn't made to withstand the forces of Rocket Rods, it started to fall apart.

Mine would have to be the infamous Rocket Rods at Disneyland. Sorry, but it actually looks kind of fun. And the sound that it makes is fairly cool. Too bad they couldn't bank the turns.

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.
