See now, to me that would be a reason to stay the night and see what happens and investigate, but I am just crazy like that!

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing!

I had a dream the other night that they decided to tear down SOB and a bunch of KIC'ers had a meet up to pay our respects. We got to see it start to be tore down. Very sad dream for I saw the wrecking ball hit the structure and it was heartbreaking, fan of SOB or not.

Still have not heard anyone say how the park is checked at night? I am assuming there is overnight security walking/ridding around the park?

I was disappointed as well, for when I took the family a few weeks ago for the first time this season I had raved to my wife about this specific effect and it was not on. A week before that I took a cousin of mine, even then it was not on. I am guessing a fog machine is not at the top of the list once daily operations start, but still a little disappointing that it has not been fixed as of yet. I don't see this ride ever being any type of fail, especially epic. I understand liking one theme over another, but how about we appreciate that fact we have a ride there at all.

I rode it about 2 weeks ago and the braking seemed weird to me then. It was quite jerky coming to a stop which I had never noticed before, so you might be on right track with your brake idea.

I think it's to make the lift hill stand out from the rest of the ride. From what I have hear Red and Yellow are suppose to make you hungry. Not sure how that works or if it has been debunked, but McDonald's believed whomever said it. Maybe you are to ride DB and wanna snack afterwards?

I would like to know what type of lights they used to look at the track? It amazes me to this day that they can inspect a ride of this size, in the dark, in just a few hours and not miss something. Amazing!

Awesome, wish I could have seen that!

News station interviews Dan. Interesting he plans to stay in FL to live. http://www.news25.us...&autoStart=true

I also had a frustrating time Monday at KI. Living in Indy I had a total of 4 hrs of driving and took the kids for the first time this season. My son Korbin enjoyed the park for about 3 hrs before it started storming. The 3 month old did enjoy her ride on Boo Blasters! This was in no way KI's fault due to weather man reporting nothing about this storm, but I spent a lot of hrs driving to get rained out. My son had a good time, but wish he could have gotten more rides in.

That is what I was thinking myself! Deja Vue? I hope not!

Very nice PTR, enjoyed it very much!

Looks like Brown was right. Nice to know what it is, thanks kjkjkj.

I do not remember seeing these till after the Math and Science Days so I doubt M & S days were an option? To bad we can not ask about these in the 5@5!

It has its advantages. This past Saturday, about an hour after the park opened, the line was 45 minutes, yet the SRL was near the top of the stairs. I went through the SRL twice and got two rides in less than 20 minutes. There are definitely times when it is advantageous to use. So many times this year, however, we've seen the SRL line all the way down to the bottom of the stairs even when the main line is 15, 10, or only 5 minutes long. It just goes back to the fact that you simply need to be aware of both how long both the SRL and main queues are, because we've found that in our visits this year (about 25 this year) that the SRL is usually the least desirable option on days when the main queue is less than 20 minutes. YMMV. On a topic related note I'd like to give kudos to the DB crew working late yesterday. They were moving trains through as consistently fast as I've ever seen without it being chaotic. During one of our rides we were on a train just coming through the last helix with the train behind us already at the very top of the lift hill. It's always fun to see the line move that quickly! Thank you for continuing to work exceptionally well, especially at the end of a long day! If I want another ride I always look at the SRL line when coming into the final brake run to see how long it is. As you state, if it is at the bottom of the stairs I always use the main queue line. I figure I am also helping the SRL when I get up there as a single rider.

Interesting. I like hearing different advertising strategies. I have heard radio commercials for IB in Indy, but only advertising their season pass, not really promoting the park's rides and entertainment. HW and CF parks have FB and interact with their fans IB does not.

You can like it, on HW's Facebook page: http://www.facebook....103798199671184 Glad the park's staying in the family instead of being bought out by a company like FUN or SIX. I doubt either one of them would have the funds right now, but it would be interesting to know if they have ever been approached.

Being that I live in Indy, I see KI signs and Holiday World Signs. It seems that Holiday World dominates the advertising in Indy 3 to 1 over KI. I find this interesting due to HW being a smaller park, but I am guessing KI has a broader market range to cover. I have yet to see a Indiana Beach sign this year in Indy. Let us know what it is like where you live!

I spoke to Gary on Friday at the park and just gotten 2400 rides in. Go Gary!

OK current design companies?

Who is your favorite Wood Coater Designer? Not GG I take it?

I did notice Invertigo's paint is getting faded again when I was there Friday. It still looks good, but almost seems like it needs a coat of wax to restore that shine!

Maybe you were just hoping it would be a B and M, not an Intamin... Edit: Fixed poor English. Sorry!

On my weekday visits this year, the second size of Racer seems to open at 12. That has been my experience.
