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.

So wait, Kinzel over paid for the PP because he really really wanted KI? That sort of makes me think that KI may not have lasted long term if he stayed in power.....

I would name it Lion Country Flyover....

I'm not a huge fan of Ken Hamm for a few reasons, but I don't think he is ignorant or intolerant. He is actually a relatively intelligent man, and he believes fiercely in his beliefs. I wish I could fight with as much conviction about what I believe as he does. I have covered his talks a few times. Interviewed people attending his talks, but never him. He has a tendency to take science and apply it to the bible instead of applying the bible to science. Depending on how you were taught the Bible is either a collection of stories about God's people chronicling their lives and the path God has set down for us or it is the 100% absolute truth and word of God, any distrust to what is said is blasphemy and punishable by a long warm stay when your life has come to an end. The battle between Ken Hamm and the world is no different that the Protestants and the Catholics or the Christians and Jews or Christians and Muslims. It is part of a belief system. As for me, I tend to believe that science can explain anything but it wasn't done by accident. When learning human anatomy our bodies develop in a very linear progression. If one thing goes wrong or is delayed (even by minutes) everything else can and is thrown off. There is a perfectly useful and easy to understand reason that science provides. However, knowing the reason does not diminish the miracle of the process and make me believe that there is a higher power guiding this. You can choose to believe that God is leading the scientist to unlock the secrets of the universe He has created or you can believe that scientists are trying to prove God wrong. I choose that God is working through the scientific community ...

I would never qualify morning news/entertainment shows as breaking news. They are not designed to be that way. They are targeted at a certain demo. That demo does not care for breaking news. They want a little bit of national news with a plethora of field good stories and interesting life stories. That is who how the morning shows are organized. If you want news check the evening news which is made for a demo that wants harder hitting news. It makes sense for a multitude of reasons that the mornings shows have a sense of self promotion. For the stations it's easier to get "our" guys to interview. Not to mention that it's a "free" 2-4 minute commercial. Honestly, it's no different than ABC broadcasting the Disney Parade (free programming) l...

I just hope it isn't unstoppable. And people were worried about being on WindSeeker for 3 hours, imagine 3 days on this thing

Not to mention the higher prices on the coast lines.... The midwest has its faults but its cheaper to live around here. I looked at living in Amaretto Texas and Chicago Illinois. I did live for a year in upsate. I was so excited to move back to Ohio for the cheaper gas and food. Why, may I ask, do you despise the company?

Sooooo if we were to build a bridge across the middle of our fountains, it would save what? 5 minutes of walking? 10 minutes if you are slow/injured? quarter of a mile? It would also take out some of the fountains?

OSHA and Food and Safety have different requirements and probably don't know each other's unless it's a major problem (working on top of a coaster without rigging or handling food without gloves). Maybe OSHA doesn't inspect until a report or and incident occurs? The violation (speculation) could come from improper ventilation due to the heat source, improper mandatory breaks for hydration with heat source, the shaded break area away from the heat source, or any other thing that could cause problems. The thing is this could have been much more serious. He could have collapsed into the fryer etc. many say they understand the hazards but not many actually due. This could be a case of "take a heat break when needed" to "take a heat break for 10 mins every hour due to heat, etc".

Ina former life we would edit commercials then we would look it over, our two bosses would check then the guy uploading them to the system would watch them and then lastly the guy at Syracuse would check them as well. Sometimes typos made it all the way till we saw it air the first time....

Well the McDonalds in Germantown(?) off of route 4 just south of Dayton has flies and bugs all over. They are in the pop machines, there are fly catchers through out the restaurant. Disgusting Not to mention the Arby's in Cambridge Ohio had ants in the pop lines and moths in the ice buckets. The Arby's near Princeton road uses a floor broom to clean the slicer. Every single franchise restaurant has bad locations....

Well said Terp. Well said.

And these things are wonderfully fun when run properly. Didn't a park just get rid of their rope course? A coaster is is usually much safer than a ropes course....

Yea don't do Roosters plain. It is a butter sauce. I have never been back but have been told to try any other sauce but plain...

I was at a Bdubs and they were advertising their ghost pepper wings. They looked delicious and at the time I had no idea what ghost pepper was. They had the manager come out and requested that I only get a side of it and some fries to try, etc. Well evidently ghost pepper is the hottest pepper.... The wing sauce was delicious but the after burn was not worth it. They did taste better than blazing though.

I really enjoy QSL. I get the Mustang Chicken sandwich and just recently tried their wings, which were solid. I guess we have a lot of goodies on here......

Do they still give you a warm delicious cookie before seeing Santa?

Watching the Cartoons released and they were nice to see some old cartoons unedited. Now they have the Disneyland description with Walt. Very interesting and fun to watch Walt talk about the park.

Now will those employees be paid $9.50/10/10.50 since they have a year or 3 of experience by the time this passes or will they only get 9/9.5/10 and the new employees get 9... Min wage raise doesn't always have an affect on other raises.....
