As an educator let me say this. There are no day requirements, it is a min number of hours that is required.

No offense, but that may be the worst statement I have ever read from you. What sort of useless stuff are you speaking of? I mean schools have already gotten rid of shop classes, most schools are getting rid of theater and/or music. Heck, art in most places is enough to just have 1 or 2 classes in your academic career. Not to mention that the state legislature has ruled what has to be done in the classroom. Bell work/seat work may seem useless but its part of the grading scale the state uses. Teachers have subs for a slew of reasons, professional development, sickness, mental health days, etc. Review periods are usually offered by teachers as a courtesy and most times they are offered as an opportunity for a student to clear up any mis-information.

A couple of things.... One this is a band aid approach more than anything. Instead of talking about things that would help more students (parent information and participation for one) this seems to be an "easy" fix that would not work in the long run, at least the way schools are organized now. For example, Germany has 240 school days but they also have tracks in place for students. A certain percentage tests and goes into the college track, the work force track, etc. Imagine at 8th grade being tested and placed in a track for the rest of your school life. Conversely, we have students who we put through the riggers of HS education when they should be learning a trade. Looking at school days only is not the precedent you want to set. Not to mention the school year is based on hours, not days. The proposal looks at an increase of 209 hours for HS kids. Most schools are in session for a little less than 180 days. That means we are looking at either an increase of the school day by a little bit over an hour or a longer school day of less than an hour and the potential to add 1-5 more days. If it does pass, I would guess that it would barely affect the school year and businesses....

my wife last year said "No" to the gold pass. I bought mine in May of this year. cost about $120 bucks. My wife ended up going to KI a few times this summer so we bought her a pass that was the regular pass in June for about 130ish. I think I ended up going to KI about 15 times this year. Got food each time with my food season pass. Each meal ended up costing me about $6 not counting the drink. I even was able to share with my son without getting yelled at (he's 18 months). Not to mention the free Dinosaur's Alive (which to a 1 year old is about the greatest thing on Earth), the random doughnuts and juice celebrations for Gold Passes. This year, KI has made me a season pass holder for a good another couple of years.

Well, if my car gets busted into while on KI's property, I am on my own.....

^^ the problem with over pricing is that many would say KI is already highly priced for the haunts it has. Then again less people in lines would mean smaller groups going through. That means better opportunities to reset some scares.... Land of Illusion is $40 for 5 well done haunts + Bon fire + bars + food + karaoke...... Of course you pay for the bar and food items

If you end at midnight, 11, 1 or 3, you will have the same problem. Lots of people leaving hopped up on adrenaline.

Or the tables you are eating on, utensils you are using, the screen of your phone, etc etc etc

Have you seen the Producers? We can more money with a flop than a hit!!!

I think, for me, one of the main reasons BB is a poor ride is that the old PT ride is still there is parts. The cars are still there just slightly repainted. Where the cars were removed sits plywood that makes it look like something broke. The busts are still there just nailed over. Heck the ride still travels the same track. Most things either don't work or never did. Plus a ride that the effects don't work unless you shoot them always bothers me. PT was a ride that felt like a show. BB is a ride that feels like a chore for my son to enjoy all of the moving objects.

You walk in and a roof shingle hits you in the head, you ask for medical bills paid, you find yourself having to pay KK 300k for spreading bad rumors..... Man not sure how this could go any worse. So far we know that 2 people got hurt because they may have been given the wrong raft. One of those people states he just wants medical bills paid. But Ed Hart says he has an unmentioned friend who says they are just trying to make a quick buck. Also he said they weighed too much and should have known better.... Imagine if the Superman Tower incident would have happened on his watch.... We are saying it's not our fault because you kicked your legs out..... When the cable broke at CP who paid those medical bills?

Wow the version of BB you just described sounds so much better than ours....

One if the reasons I don't think it is a scam is because the one person in the suit has mentioned medical bills not pain and suffering

Unless it took this long for her to get fed up with what the park was saying or not doing. They could have been dragging their feet. Maybe she was advised to wait to make sure the baby developed normally?

I was thinking the same thing. So Mr. Hart makes it sound like these guests are trying. To extort hundred of thousands of dollars. In reality, they just want the medical bill paid.........

I was 16 when it closed. It was a very fun ride with nothing horribly scary. Park guests want great rides. Just because it's interactive doesn't mean it's fun.

Depends, some credit card companies got in trouble because the fine print was too fine

Unless they don't..... Lawyers are paid for a reason.

Not to mention the fall out that if it's proven as the parks fault.... KK where if you get hurt the park will sue you.... We have no hard proof this person had her pass revoked for climbing a fence other than what Ed says....

Another? Just wondering where the other was

Ugh..., 1. If you are right, don't talk. 2. You win nothing by trying to make one of your guests look bad 3. Just because no one has been injured before doesn't me you can't get injured in the future. 4. Now we have heard the two individual sides, who has the "proof"

Banshee should give its 2 millionth ride the last weekend of the season. It has been a great year for ride milestones and anniversaries. Honest question right here: Would the park purposely slow or speed up the line to make sure the milestone rides are hit during this season? In the Banshee case would the crew be more likely to pulse the line through with all trains running to make sure the mark is hit this season versus doing a more slowed down 2 train operation? Same with Beast? I know in restaurants during lunch they open more registers to hit the big rush, didnt know if it was like that for coasters...

As a person who dabbles in collectible a (model trains, slot cars, comics, etc) something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it..... In my years I have vastly under and over paid for collectible items. I sold a non-running 65 Mustang for $250 cash and an old train.... The train is worth, in a book, $400-700... To the kid who traded it to me, it was probably worth $100....

I wouldnt say SF ruined that park. That park was destined to close when CF bought it. SF invested into the park. DId they over expand? Yes, but I wouldnt say they ruined it. CF could have scaled operations back some, move some rides, etc. CF razed the entire dry side. Imagine if CF would have acquired it under current management. You would have seen a scaled down GL not a complete razing.....
