It is impressive, the transformation that happened at KK. Hopefully it lasts. I know there are quite a few thousands and thousands of people who would have loved for this to have happened at Americana and Geuga Lake....

School starts Wednesday August 12! That is the reason for the closure. Where did you find the calender? Isnt school in session right now? Isnt KI open (weekends) till like November?

That means the park had, on average, about 6,400 guests per day in the park. http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/on-the-town/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2014/6/3/theme_park_attendance.html Take it for what it is, which means it may not be or is true, but it states that KI in 2013 has 3.2 Million visitors...

Crenos... I can't think of a better location

My nephew went there I heard it is great. My sons one and under 30 inches... What do you feel is the "sweet spot" for going?

I have not been on any Adventure unless it was an Express version.... One day maybe .... I so want to wait till my son gets older and then just take a 4 week road trip hitting every theme park we can...

Exactly I said something similar in the other thread. Do what makes you happy and that's what counts (within reason it's a good motto for life.). I sometimes wish I counted which rides I rode but to be honest very few have stood out to me: Beast, Banshee, Griffin, Hollywood Rip Ride, Big Bad Wolf, Hulk, Harry Potter, TTD...... That's about it

At the end of the day, you count it the way you want to count it. Who cares how you do it? It is an interesting concept. But when does something cease being what it was and becomes something new. Many people will buy a classic car, yank off the id plates, strip the car down to the frame, rebuild the frame, then rebuild the entire car using new or remanufactored pieces, slap the original id badges on the car, and claim it as the same vehicle.... I will say its a different ride because the park states it's a different ride. The experience will be different and that's enough for me.

So like Collosus?

I disagree I really don't think the GP noticed the wrong coasters. Heck most locals couldn't tell you the difference between coasters.

DO you know how much he had on them? I might be interested in one....

Honestly I have never kept track of rides and will probably never do so. Too much work for my brain. However, a ride moving with the same trains to another place shouldn't be different. However , when a ride changes trains which drastically changes the ride experience, then well it should probably be a new credit. We are not talking taking a suspended Arrow and giving it a floorless, or changing from 4 rows to 3. We are talking stand up to sit down. Different ride completely, IMHO.

Maybe this is only in theater, but I love going opening night. Yes it has some kinks, but the actors are fresher. They feed off the audience. Usually mid runs are boring as the actors grow tired...

Then in theory, you could only count FoF one time, no matter where you rode it, or any other cloned rides anywhere else right? I mean its the same track layout just in different place.....

Lets put it this way. If you never rodE Mantis, would you say you did just because you rode Rog...

More proof how popular Frozen is? At the Cincy comic Expo today, Livvy ( the voice of young Anna) had the third longest line for meet and greet. An hour to meet her and get a picture. Kids in line ranged from 1.5 (my son) to 13/14 years of age. Only 2 lines were longer, Doctor Who and Fonzie...

Well, conversely, its not just popular at the moment. Its one of the top movies of all time. Its been out for over a year. We are, at this point, in Jurassic Park type territory. No one complained when Jurassic Park got a ride.

So it's a French Werewolf in Sandusky? I didn't know there was a trilogy

Depends on the ROI you are looking for. Small short term investment that looks good but is a minimal change/cost or are you looking for a big skyline changing investment and the ROI involved. Gatekeeper was a huge change and the park enjoyed the ROI of it, so much so that the park is doing similar investments at other parks (see Carowinds new front gate). This change seems very minimal to me. No rebuilding of track, no destruction costs. Just some possible station changes, new trains, and paint.

If anything the video transition from Mantis to Rog looks pretty cool

It would almost certainly cost too much money for CF to pursue that sort of renovation to the park. It doesnt appear to fit into where they are heading as a company.

I know what you mean I mean I to am only 2 years out of grad school... You did mean currently, right ?

I hope that is sarcasm. A blip on the radar during an atrocious season by all.

Welcome to the Social Media era.

Worked for me...
