The problem, from what I understand, never happened between CP and KI. It was KD and Carrowinds, from what I understand...

True but in the school district I work in, a GM plant was located near by... was..

Even if a plant only opens for ten years, that's ten years of jobs for the people in the area. If done right that would be more than enough time to gain new skills education or anything in case the plant does close down

is Charlotte that nice of a place to run a corporate office or does it have a bunch of tax breaks?

Touché sir.

I feel that this is one of those things we are all blowing out of proportion. 1: we don't know the amount of business this pet care center used during the year. It probably wasn't busting at the seams so it could be considered an acceptable loss. 2: we don't know why it's going away. Maybe a renovation, maybe a front park redo, may they are just not investing money there. 3: almost all good kennels and such require vaccinations and etc to keep the animals safe. Are we implying the KI one did not require this? 4: many doggy day cares and over night care are night and day better than KI was or ever will be without a huge investment. 5: in this day and age, the user who travels with their dog to an amusement park but doesn't check out where to put the dog is becoming slimmer and slimmer. I'm willing to guess over 75-80% of people who travel with a pet don't assume that just because it had it before would assume it's still there. Also if they did, most would drive the extra ten mins to board their dog. I feel for it but it's not like it was the best dog kennel in the world. Didn't one of the members on here describe that the conditions inside the pet care we're not always the greatest anyways?

I didn't know about those I just the names off of Epcot's official character meet and greets

Thanks. Didnt know the 3 Caballeros was a movie. Now that makes sense. So now every character I mentioned has a link back to a movie with its corresponding country/location. Not sure how you do a Frozen 2. They pretty much wrapped up all of the plot points. Unless you look at the kids of one of the main characters (like LIttle Mermaid 2...) Personally, I would much rather have a Big Hero 6: 2 or Wreck it Ralph 2 as their appears to be more a build world with those 2 movies (similar to Toy Story).

Dont forget that the sister station of 700 WLW (1530) is the home of the U of L radio network. Not a stretch to buy a station wide commercial, or it may have been part of the deal that X number of U of L commercials are broadcast over sister stations...

Got myself and my family booked! Dinner reservations already made! Just waiting for the FP+ window to open up. and honestly, if you are looking at a 3-5 day ticket you are looking at about a 30$ increase for the full 5 days.... I personally dont think its too expensive. Plus with all of the new stuff coming in, they have to raise capital one way or the other...

I dont disagree, but to point to Frozen and say "hey wait" but ignore Belle in France, Alice in the UK, Donald in Mexico, Mary Poppins in the UK, Mulan in China, Aurora in the UK, Snow White in Germany, Winnie the Pooh in the UK, Aladdin and Jasmine in Morocco.... To me putting Elsa and Ana in Norway is not a stretch. You have the characters everywhere else in that showcase..... I know each character I mentioned has some version of their story originating in the location in which they are having a meet and greet (well, maybe not Donald Duck, but he is wearing a big hat), but Frozen has its story's roots in the Nordish traditions. I still dont get the hate on Frozen. If you dont like it cool, but I dont get why people have to consistently talk about why its a bad movie. Sort of like why people feel having to bad talk Intamin or or or...

Are you trying to imply that a man such as Hart would be so unscrupulous that he would fudge numbers to ensure he makes money? I dont know about you, but when I look at a crowd of park goers, I can totally tell that about 1/4-1/3 are from another state maybe even planet.

In the video that was just posted what ride can be seen above the tree line at 4:40?

I sort of feel this is a chicken/egg situation. If there had existed a highway/byway during the Sea World/Geauga Lake days of the 70s, then possibly the infrastructure would have grown as well and possibly been ready for the influx of the masses..

I sort of wonder how things would have changed for Geuga Lake if there was a high or byway that went there. Crowds may have been easier ton control etc.

^Great point.

And please, I dont want anyone to think, I want all of the smokers out of the park. I am fine with them being in the park and having an area, I just question the locations that KI has put them in. Off the top of my head here are the locations that are smoking areas In Coney Mall, located in the middle of the strip just past basketballs before you get to the Cafe, treed, benches, middle of the midway. In RIvertown, 2-4 benches located infront of the Potato Works next to the Basketballs, 2 feet from the main path Tower Gardens (as mentioned before). Not sure if there are any other locations but we seriously couldnt find any better locations that are just off of the main path? In Coney Mall, you have an abandoned ride Pad next to Dinos Alive (throw some benches and maybe some umbrellas and it would be nice and off the path or down near The Vortex just past the bathrooms. In Rivertown you have an abandoned Que area that goes back just far enough off of the main path. Centrally, anywhere but Tower Gardens. As No Chickens said, you could put it in the corner....

Haha he will be two this year. He needs roughly 3 feet of sleeping space haha

I have stated before. I have a little guy. There are very few places we can go in the park for him to nap while we sit. We can go into the kid changing area (which is awesome by the way, Air conditioning, changing tables, clean bathrooms, Charlie Brown cartoons for the little guy to calm down, wonderful) but sometimes on a nice day it would be nice to sit in a location and people watch while he sleeps in the chair or wagon. We can go to the Chicken Shack because it's covered or ??? I wish Tower Gardens was not a smoking area and was just a pleasant spot to sit. Same with the smoking area in Coney Mall. Dead smack dab in the middle of the walk way. The only nice place with tree covering. And wait where is the KI hall of fame?

The more I'm around here the more I'm reminded of the discussions that happened in the movie "Now You See Me".... Basically the magician or illusionist draws you in real tight. Concentrate on the small details while missing the big ones....

The mall topic was really fun...

So an IS redo like maybe a new shop or front of a new shop? Maybe a big roller coaster for a ride? Or like a kiddie ride? That would be new for 16 right? In all honesty, if KI came out tomorrow and said "hey for 2016 (I wish 2015) we are giving all the coasters a new coat of a paint, the buttons on Dino's Alive will be fixed, the clock will be fixed in Octoberfest, the flower clock will be better than ever, and a new dark ride in Planet Snoopy I would sign up for my '16 pass right now.

And there was talk that Six Flags over extended that park. It is very possible that the park was on its last legs as a massive park before CF bought it. However, I wouldn't call anyone a conspiracy nut if they believe that when the time came to either make GL a small amusement property or just a water park Kinzel took glee in having the park literally buldoZed.... My question/thought would be for the future of KI. If KI and CP were big competitors in OHio usually you don't buy your competition to make them stronger.
