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.....

and I dont think I will ever reading anything more gross on this webs..... poop storm... and now that takes it.... I learned a long time ago in Biology that what you are smelling are little bits of the material floating through the air. Cinnamon, flowers, spaghetti, poop, urine, etc....

I actually have watched Ken Ham speak. He is a very engaging speaker. I may not agree with his point of view but the man can move a crowd.

And killing park experience is never the way to get more people into the park to enjoy it, spend more money, and come back....

or the kids in the video are now in their (possible) early 40s?

That article I can read. It is not blocked by a paywall. Yet the other one is, and without an apparent reason why. Color me confused. I think it has to do with the date the article was posted, maybe? I think there is a bigger problem, for Sea World in the fact that they are not "unique" anymore. 10-20-30 years ago, people didnt have the opportunity to view these creatures. SW was the only (or one of the few) spots to see them. Not so much now, as the internet allows us opportunities to study and look at animals in a way that we never had seen before. A closed sea pen would be interesting... I picture the Jaws underwater Tunnel personally.

Well it didn't really look like a bump.... It looked like the back end of one carriage was in the people part of the other carriage. Something like this happening at 10 feet is scary but at over 100 feet, it's frightening. Plus, again, most people go to parks thinking they won't be put in real danger with the possibility of being really hurt. Or stranded at the top for hours....

I believe DeadEyes, Ltd was part of ImageMovers (or makers). Yeah the problem with digital animation is that it can move into the realm of the Uncanny Valley, very very quickly. Uncanny Valley basically talks about the response the viewer has when something looks "too real." If it looks too real but we know its fake, then we have a negative response to it. Polar Express I think suffered more from this than any other movie. It attempted to portray as close to "real" as possible without actually being real. That is all fine and good when its "things" : animals, objects, vehicles etc. When its a person: Which is why, personally, I think the big block buster movies have characters that have some sort of feature that lets you know "Hey this is an animation" As compared to when using a CGI enhanced monster in a "real movie" **All images used under the copy write for educational purposes**

I dont mean to play devils advocate (oh wait, I sort of do )...... There are a lot of businesses/buildings that have sat vacant for years in the Cincinnati area. So it doesnt seem too surprising to me that for the last few years if it was up for sale an no serious offers were made. Maybe it was too much, maybe it just wasnt what someone wanted. I do find it odd that all of sudden its closing and new plans are being made. It makes me think that it may be a more true statement than false. Maybe the people who were looking at it saw the potential for only a resort type atmosphere and being across from Great Wolf Lodge, sort of hurts the idea that it could be profitable.

Except Stark lives at another park....

I think you will hear those screams in a major motion picture coming out soon...... I love discussions like this because it lets me look into and read about park closures.... As for Opryland, more directly at Terp, which do you believe that the park was torn down because of the reasons stated at the time or what the new CEO stated in 2001 that the former owners/operators didnt even try....

And SOB wasn't the first wooden looping coaster, right? Just the only one at the time with the biggest loop?

This is something you must do next year. Period. No other coaster credits, just this. Its one of the few easy and simple things that can be done but its breathtaking. I am assuming you have never seen fireworks from up there either...
