I see they have not repainted that rest room over in now PS in the picture of DB lift. I wonder if they just took the Nick logo off and left the rest?

Great work guys! Sorry I was not able to make it!

And we have been complaining about the snow. At least it melts away!

Nice PTR Railrider. Since I live about 15 to 20 minutes away from ICM. I took my 4 year old this year for the first time and could not get him out of the train section, he enjoyed it a lot.

Sounds like a Chilli's commercial.

Must not have went to IB to ride it?

The LA Times reports on the Top 10 Wooden Coasters. The Top 10 is dominated by woodies at smaller parks along the Midwest coaster belt, a 1,000-mile stretch roughly following I-70 through Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The list includes a pair of coasters from one park as well as a couple of surprise picks outside the elite ranks. http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/top-10-wood-coasters-6317/

The biggest issue I have with it is that most slogans should roll off your tongue easily, this does not. I agree Hooky, when you say it out loud it leaves you thinking "What?"

The amount of people that are not going to buy passes or go to the park because SOB is still in operation is going to be a hand full of people compared to the amount of GP that walks into KI wanting to ride that really big wood coaster sitting over in Action Zone that they have never seen before, and don't know what it is even called. Secondly, the people that complain about SOB are going to go to the park to see what is going on with it as well. Just my thoughts.

Don does a good job of using these webresources. Most businesses understand that this is key to bringing in more business. Fine example of this is Holiday World and Indiana Beach. HW isvery involved with their blog, FB, Twitter, and they use it all the time.Indiana Beach has a blog called View From the Crow's Nest, but only has had 3updates in the last 6 months. They do not have a twitter, and no official FBpage. It is easy to get excited about going to HW, not so much for IB, and I amvery partial to IB due to going a lot as kid.

I don't think any texts have been sent out for some time.

Wow, they have been busy this off season. I hope it works out well for them!

I agree, those colors look good!

Theme Park review: CP and Holiday world make the cut. Must not have visited KI? What's your thoughts? http://www.bukisa.com/articles/233449_the-worlds-top-five-theme-parkss

I agree Robbie, it was due for a new paint job. I am wonding what color they are going to paint the nick orange fences around each ride. I am assuming they would repaint those? Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing Ryan! I hope KI can give us more of these cool pics to help us burn the off season away.

Also got to keep in mind besides the size of our kid’s area, as Robbie mentioned, the other parks may have had more favorable weather since they are a little further south to be ahead with construction. Just a thought?

I did not consider myself an enthusiast until after I joined this site. I then realized what others told me, that I was obsessed with going to KI and other parks like most everyone here. I started learning the industry and about the ride manufactures. For the year I have been on this site I think I have learned a lot, and feel I can talk a lot more intelligently about KI and the industry then I ever thought possible. Thanks to all who share the same passion on KIC!

Hey, they they got the water part right just a year off!

I don't think mine is going to grow 4 inches. He was 44 last fall. Don't think it is going to happen this season for him.

Cornball is a much better coaster in my opinion, but Cornball and HH are still my favorites in the park. Galaxi was the first coaster I rode when little, so it has some sentimental value to me as well.

I'm not sure what I'll do first. Probably run for DB. I miss it. Me too. I have DB withdraw syndrome!

Right at 128 Miles driveway to driveway for me. I can be there in about 1hr and 45 minutes on a good day! Now that I hear 275 is done, I can hopefully save 3 or 4 more minutes of time.

I like this idea KIfan. Not that it will happen, but hey, we can day dream..
