You're right, I forgot about that! For all the new people here, apparently I and others hate America because we think the flagpoles behind the Kings Island sign block the view of the Eiffel Tower.

I don't get why they would put that there. A few people would probably end up thinking that's the exhibit (), and it also makes a great photo spot for little Johnny so the family doesn't have to pay to go through the exhibit.

That's not going to be there the whole season, is it?

I thought they did sell Rock Band in the park? I definitely recall seeing a Rock Band box somewhere near Showplace.

I really don't think I could stand wearing a bright white uniform. It would stay clean for roughly five minutes then be dingy forever. (and don't raise my blood pressure with "slightly incorrect fits"...)

I have no security software running on Ubuntu and just Microsoft Security Essentials on the Windows computer. And the Carowinds interactive map works fine for me... go figure!

I haven't been able to get it on Chromium or Firefox on Ubuntu or Chrome and IE on Windows... guess they don't like me.

I kinda wish the map worked for me. I can only see the PDF one- I just get a blank map with ride markers on the interactive one.

Wait, Adventure Express is a 5 and Drop Tower is a 4?

If you watch the KI construction video that's on Youtube I think you can see the model in that.

I think so.

Sounds like Rock Band Live 2.0...

My comments: "...latte's..." *headdesk* That was there last year too... And poor WindSeeker. Its entrance area seems to have been put in a blender... I like how they covered up Launch pad with the "EURO BOBBLES" lettering. The Crypt's roof looks like something out of my Geometry book... And finally, at least the water in WWC doesn't look stupid anymore.

Why would they want to have someone as a fan who they constantly have to clean up after?

If they charge nothing for it, they will make $0 no matter how many people go through it. If they charge $5, and 1/3 as many people go through it as would have otherwise, that's still more money for them. I don't think they care how many times passholders go through- do they offer discounts on the other upcharges or let them go on free?

You could translate it as "I don't want to spend $5 so I hope it's a failure and they remove it and add a 500foot Intamin."

Uh, no, I actually have a feeling it'll be quite popular.

A few things I noticed... "Self-Serve Sells" Yeah, but self-serve also steals... I always wondered why they had no way of preventing theft from those machines, like having the cashier be able to control when the machines were turned on- they only turn on while a paying customer is filling their cup. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the article. The number of people I've seen walking around with water cups full of soda carrying a Diamondback cup tells me otherwise. This gives me a great mental picture of a cart with a huge sign that says "Coke!" followed by three more different carts that say "SPRITE!", "DIET Coke!", and "PIBB XTRA!".

Holiday World and KI are not the same park. Lower admission? KI's admission (online) is $35.99. Holiday World's admission is $42.95...

This basically sums up the whole thread. If KI's guests could decide how the park operated... Food prices would be reduced Admission prices would be reduced Drinks would be free Parking would be free Hours would be longer Merchandise prices would be reduced The park would close due to lack of money in days. Most of the general public and even enthusiasts really don't know how to operate a park, even if they think they do.

"I WANT Son of Beast TO BE OPEN!"

If Cedar Fair did not think their pricing was more profitable than that of other parks, they would lower the prices. They aren't stupid. And about Disney... their drinks are cheaper, but the food itself seemed to be more or less than KI. At Magic Kingdom, the fried fish basket I had was a bit less than it would be at Outer Hanks, but the fried shrimp basket was about a dollar more. And their buffets are certainly more.
