Ignore her/him. They post things with the wrong name to be cute. Also they thrive off of the mentions and the replies. (Did you know, blocking only blocks original posts, replies and quotes show them :/ ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's fair. When you book Disney they also send you a bunch of things ranging from DVDs to paper work to a USB drive with info, you can put that there as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have this idea that Dons giving out clues all day and everyone is like why would this guy know anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I blocked gavpen and beast gal so I don't know what they have posted but I thought Gavpen refused to say why he knew what was happening. So if has given evidence I'm sorry I missed it

Not taking any side here but what can they do besides drain the lakes? I mean Gators climb fences and are found in swimming pools. So you can't even chlorinate the water. It would kill other things but the Gators would be there. You could close the beaches completely but many love the walking on the beach. You could close the water ways but people love going out on the water. Here are my ideas: Maybe step up patrols to take out and relocate gators of certain sizes (maybe lower the size that they need to be). If the park is part of a preserve (as I heard in a report) they can't block the gators from coming in. Enforce the no feeding of the gators. Post signs and educate guests about not just the gators but other water animals. There is a 30-45 minute video that's played on Disney Transport from the airport to the hotels. This would be a perfect time to explain about the wild life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the insight King Ding Dong. I work with kiddos with ASD (and all disabilities). I think the hard part about giving advice is every kid is so unique. For the most part routine and plans work best for kiddos. So by having the kids create their own schedules or you do it is great. Changes in schedules can be very difficult. So for some kids a change from "Beast is next" to "wel lets do WWC first" can create a reaction from disappointment to a complete break down depends on the kiddo. My biggest advice (for any kid with disabilities or really all kids) besides the schedule is bring your kids out. Talk to them in the park. Talk about the colors, sounds, and smells. Make games about the things you see "let's find 5 roses" or "let's count all of the Pink hats we see today". Help mode appropriate phrases for your kids. Have fun! This language engagement can help generalize into the classroom and into other areas. Lastly like King ding dong said, be willing to leave. If you child can only last 60 minutes then plan on it. After a few times plan to stay 75 minutes. If 4 hours is your max have a goal by the end of the summer you will get to 4.5 or 5 or even 6 hours. Small increments can be less taxing on their systems and it creates a new ceiling. Have fun and be safe this summer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going back to the hype talk for a minute. If you hadn't gone to KI this season and you are not on here you wouldn't know that they were building a new ride at all. To be honest if it's a new ride that helps bridge the gap for our younger/shorter friends and park goers I'm all for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Invertigo is a fun ride (personally I hate looking down and waiting for the drop, just worries me for some reason), but if the wait is more than 30 mins it's not 100% worth it to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If WDW is self insured I wonder how this will change some on the lake entertainment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. we would get info into our station all of the time about upcoming events or such that we could share but if we did we would lose that contact forever. Like Benny said this little amusement park addition means nothing in the news cycle. Burning a contact and access for something like this would be career suicide. Let's look at the news side of the options: Go to Mason get blue prints, find an expert that can read them, go to the park get some no comment answers from Don, air the piece and get maybe a 30 second story out of it, while also not getting invited to future media days, losing an anonymous source for info when things go bad, and probably upsetting the bosses for this reckless journalism. All to get maybe a few extra clicks or eyeballs. Or... Wait till media day/announcement day, get invited, get high resolution pictures and mock ups, get interview time with Don, being invited to media preview, ride the new ride, get on ride footage, get a good few days of stories, and see more overall clicks as you got multiple stories out of it. See about the new water park slide and Local 12. KIC has been invited to many things. If some sensitive info is spilled here on purpose that relationship can dry up to the detriment of all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just throwing this out for everyone saying the park is hyping it too much. I may be wrong but it's been a real low key hype about project 2017. No radio commercials, no tv spots, no rattling box near an entrance. All they have done is a cute sign on the fencing, some snap chat stuff, and maybe a tweet or few. Not a bunch of stuff. I mean we on here have blown everything up more than anything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True because they could (I thought) park all four under the final brake run. However, there was a time when occasionally you would stop for a moment on the second lift hill. Wasn't that done partially because of Flight of Fear? That's true but it was still changed. And was FoF more than 15? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not that it matters much but on my travels this morning a news report on 700 WLW or NPR (honestly I was radio surfing) stated that a fence couldn't be built because WDW has a contract/deal in place with the state that says the water ways are part of a natural preserve which was part of the agreement when the park was built on the swamp/wet lands. First I had heard of that but if it's true that would explain why they relocate bigger gators and not kill them. **same report said he park removes bigger gators and rehomes them elsewhere.

I believe when they removed the old brakes they removed the kicker tires and essentially ended that as a mcbr... Original blocks if I'm correct Station to lift hill First drop to brake run Brake run to second lift Second lift to station. Right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I'm confused when everyone says they hyped this up so much it can't be anything but the worlds biggest baddest. I mean they put up a cute little sign on the fence and done a few snap chats here and there. But I would say the hyped it much. I mean unless I missed the tv commercials, websites, multiple interviews teasing the project, etc. If anything the hype and speculation on here has blown it out of control. I'm still holding out hope for a return of the trams Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let me state I'm against this 100% But Racer had structure work done and the end of the ride was changed about 15 years ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I find it rather awkward to ask someone who is a stranger to me outside of this forum to do something on my behalf. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way. If someone here were to offer to go if someone were to provide the funds, I'm sure they'd have people take them up on it. They may, potentially, run into an ethical decision on whether it's ok to profit from doing so (they'd potentially get multiple requests, but only have to visit the office once). I feel it necessary to state that I am not soliciting for offers to go to city hall on my behalf. I'd like a copy of the plans, sure. I don't know how to read them, really, but think it could potentially be a cool thing to frame and hang on my office wall. However, I am a few weeks away from getting married and live 90+ minutes away from the KI area. There's no way I'd even be able to meet someone to get them for a month or more. Congrats on the upcoming nuptials. I'm thinking I want a copy of blue prints for my office to frame as well. I just think they look cool. If I go next week I'll send you a pm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For everyone who wants to see the plans but can't take time off, you should offer to pay someone to go for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't realize that 2999ft or less qualified as a kids coaster. Good to know. I always thought rides like Invertigo Top Thrill Dragster were adult rides. Thanks for the education. Also there are what, less than 100-150 coasters world wide over your 3500-4000 mark? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk All I'm saying is less than 3000ft seems too short for a wooden coaster that's being hyped this much in a park the size of KI that's not directed specifically at children. This is just my opinion. I guess my opinion offended you in some way. So for that I apologize I thought that's what this forum was for discussing thoughts and opinions to try and figure this out. Nope not offended just pointing out the flaw in your opinion. You are allowed one just like others are allowed to point out when an opinion has flaws. Plus saying a ride may be too short for the hype versus saying 3000 is a kids ride is two completely different things. Have a great one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tv time out. Everyone take a breath. If there was an easy answer to this it would have been decided a long time ago. I don't need a car than can do 160 or 220 but it doesn't mean it can't. Also the guts of what this thing used is no different than a glock or other semi automatic weapon. The rounds were slightly different. Just banning this type of rifle won't stop this type of thing from happening. Instead of a bullet of that caliber it will be a couple of hand held guns or a modified other rifle or gun. I can get a semi automatic .22 or 22-250. Just like this gun that was used or a glock or other hand gun or rifle or shot gun. Banning one type will just lead to others becoming used. Gangsters used tommy guns or machine guns. Now you can't own automatic weapons. Maybe banning certain guns is not the right direction. Maybe it is. But if you are on a no fly list you should also be a on gun no buy list. Gun sales needs to be shored up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
