Dippin Dots Guy: What's His Future?
CedarPointer replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Every time someone wonders why KI's (and everywhere else's) Dippin Dots are so expensive... http://www.dippindots.com/products/lines/originalDots.html $30 per gallon... I wonder how much blue ice cream costs per gallon! (I never understood why I would pay more for Dippin Dots than regular ice cream for a much smaller portion. But I guess that's just me. Or maybe not.) -
My English class had a lengthy discussion today about how Vortex is sinking and WS opened late because the water dummies all fell out during testing. I don't think I can spend the rest of the year with that class.
-
I still have a strong, strong suspicion that CF was going to try doing that... look at all the original Cedar Fair KI logos that have the corporate logo with the two coasters crossing and "Cedar Fair Entertainment Company" underneath.

Snoopy Rocks On Ice? Gosh, that sounds familiar.

Carowinds to get Windseeker in 2012
CedarPointer replied to PREMiERdrum's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This one doesn't seem like their fault, though. -
DA at Cedar Point in 2012

It's a "people are going to believe what they want to believe". -

Unpopular compared to the rest of the rides at CP. I'd bet that it has one of the worse operating cost to ridership/popularity ratios in the park... Although I guess means there'll be more explaining where my username came from... -

CedarPointer replied to Captain Nemo's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I can see how this is a win win on CP's part. A new money-making attraction to replace a old, money-guzzling, fairly unpopular (with the GP) ride. -

What fuel do the boats run on? -
Something I felt like mentioning about souvenir cups...
CedarPointer replied to CedarPointer's topic in Kings Island
If it says KI or PKI on it or is recognizable as a KI cup (I suspect if it had a logo/character but no KI logo, the less knowledgeable among us might not know it's a KI cup...), it can be refilled. Also anything is refillable with ice water (ice as long as they don't need to touch the scoop to the cup to get it in, anything with a wide opening should be fine). -

CedarPointer replied to CedarPointer's topic in Kings Island
The DB cups broke a LOT more easily than the WS/DA/pink cups, but the WS cups don't actually fit under our drink machines, which is really annoying. I do, however, think it's funny how they don't fit through the order window with the lids on... it's a sign from above, you need to take the lid off! (I think the other CF parks tended to use the bigger cups... the old Maverick and STR cups were taller than the 2011 ones) -

They probably don't know that they aren't supposed to, or they get tired of arguing with people about it. It really needs to be enforced better, since it is a company policy. -

Because being dishonest is totally okay, right? -

They shouldn't be replacing an old cup with a new one... same with refilling a non-KI cup, the $2.12 is a discount for refilling a KI souvenir cup that you paid $10 for, not for refilling the water bottle you got at Dollar Tree. It's not the "people who take their jobs so darn serious" who don't do it, it's the people who don't think the guests should to be able to get away with whatever they want. (I personally can't believe they replace current year's ones... if I bought a water bottle at Walmart and then dropped and broke it, I certainly wouldn't expect them to give me a new one for free!) Oh, and maybe if you took your job seriously, you would still work there. -
Old topic, please ignore, kthx.

Maybe "GIGA COASTER" is another "HUSS GF"? -

IMO, it's kind of a waste putting it at CW, since CW is always busy anyway, and they don't have any huge competition... -
I feel like pointing out, getting an apology doesn't necessarily mean that you were right.
-
I'm sure that if you tripped and cracked your head open on the pavement, you'd be the first one to sue KI for not telling you to walk instead of running.
-
It's probably in your best interest to walk when you're told to walk... oh, and I've seen security make someone WALK all the way back down to the end of Coney Mall then WALK to Firehawk during that morning rush (when NOBODY says not to run, right?).
-
Because they already had an easy way to set it up at little cost... the rides that have it already basically had the second queue, that's why all the old Gold Pass Speed Lane rides are apparently included.

Carowinds' Giant Frisbee?
CedarPointer replied to bkroz's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Unifiying the parks? I dearly wish the parks could have their own logos instead of the Cedar Point style ones... -
Not anymore.

Random model of Rollercoaster in shop window?
CedarPointer replied to ajwinters's topic in Kings Island
$175 at KI I think. -
Also about the article: It's not line jumping if it's allowed by the park...
