Dumb question. Can I bring my wife and kiddo to this? DO I need to sign my wife up (on KIC) for this? We may not bring the kiddo. But we might who knows.

Check this out, as of right now it's considered legal.... http://nickreboot.com/ They run all of the old shows on a schedule with old commercials etc. It was online about a year ago and was taken down after a lawsuit. They were found to be legal since they don't run it for money and do it as a service to people, or something. Check it out and enjoy it while you can.

So from my dad's days of being a manager I learned that a good manager will do what he/she expects the employee to do (cleaning etc). I was impressed at many of the booths I saw managers and higher ups working along side hourlies doing everything from cleaning to making meals. I even saw our own Don wrapping hot dogs. There is a significantly different feel at the park this year. It's refreshing to be honest.

And interstates should be safer because in the last 2 months I have seen the highway shut down 5 times....

Try being at Universal at Rope drop for the HP rides...

Line at Chicken Shack is not bad at all watched a couple of people get mad that the chicken was not a dollar

Let me on my computer lawyer hat momentarily (not a real lawyer).... When I read the contract this past spring it does state that the area in Orlando must remain an area with improvements.... If Disney ever does come knocking they would just have to wait for a non-compliant year... Or not... Who knows? Not me

Some computer chair lawyers have also stated that the deal was for Universal to put Marvel into their parks but never did.... So some speculate that outside of the immediate vicinity, a park could have Marvel.... Could maybe or possibly are key words for who knows except for some very fine legal reps from the park chains

In fairness, how do other state fairs look? If it's down across the board you could claim a national trend. If it's just a local trend... Well then I got nothing

It's the same price.... I think?

Not to mention the original designers were fired and KI revised and tried to finish it in house. Then a bunch of legal stuff happened afterwards. If I design a mousetrap that is the newest and greatest. Then you take over the project and change something (even miniscule) it may not work as well as intended or at all.

Baby shark, Mrs Shark. and I may be up at the park this afternoon

One of the articles linked in here or linked from a linked article talked about the construction. Basically they are loosing 3000 feet of track with the rebuild. They are taking out one of the spurs that goes to the left side of the tracks. Soooo The coaster would start on the right lift hill, go through its stuff then when it would come back into the station (if it was the original set up) it actually bypasses the station completely and goes up the left lift hill. Then it goes through its stuff then returns to the station. Imagine if they put The Beast's second lift hill at the exact same location as the first lift hill (sort of). Thats the idea here.

A big take away from this is to enjoy the parks while we can. CF seems to be entering a golden time for the parks. An emphasis on the past while building strong park portfolios. Creating parks to cater to families and thrill seekers both. No one really knows just how long this era will last and what will happen afterwards. I hadn't really been back to KI since the CBS days and this year I have noticed a genuine improvement of the park. It's a place I'm happy to take my son.

My nephew is 18 months old and 36 inches. Never have we been stopped at the gates. Hes either being carried or pushed in. He has even walked in on his own.

What sort of theories? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own. I dont remember Blackfish stating "We shot this film" but then again your point supports my thought sooooo Im going away now.

I think that has a lot to do with the medium you are using. People who go to the shows probably enjoy the entertainment more than the information. But when it comes to a movie, I think the education can happen. Could you imagine a week long event like Orca week? Here is a 45 minute documentary about the Killer Whale vs The Great White Shark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS53yy_2R0Q

Its been about a year since I watched Blackfish, did they credit YouTube for the use of the footage? Did YouTube require they be documented. If your friend has it in writing, Im sure she has a case, if it was an oral agreement (which is done by many filmmakers) then well, who knows. (Im not a lawyer, but during my production days, whenever I sent out my own film to be used by others, I had a written agreement, usually in email). Im not defending the thesis Blackfish presents, but I am willing to defend it as a film/artistic representation of what it wants to do. By defending the things we hate, we preserve the rights of the things we love. IMHO: Sea World should have been more proactive from the start. Release its own documentary. Get big ratings. Work with Discovery channel to do a Orca week. Sea World has been pretty silent when it comes to being proactive on its part. Sure a press release here or there, but that does not reach the word of mouth. Show video of an Orca striking and killing a dolphin or sea lion. Show what makes Orcas more frightening than a shark. Orcas are cool. But I mean no one relates the Orcas in the Happy Feet movies with the same ones in Sea World.

A fairly good Opinion article. FYI the opinion is that Orcas shouldnt be pinned up because they are huge predators. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/08/130803-blackfish-orca-killer-whale-keiko-tilikum-sea-world/ But does touch a bit on the PR snafu by Sea World Worth the read.

Documentaries dont have to be informative to be quality. I am not defending the implications made by the film, but a documentary takes a thesis, shows your its supports, and lays out its closing argument. Blackfish did it. Is Sea World still installing raising floors into their show pools or is the new tank going to supersede that?

Now I wonder how true the Blackfish people would have been if SW would have participated. The problem is if SW puts out its own documentary it will look like a PR stunt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stepping back from the one sidedness of the documentary it is well done. It is out together nicely, uses music to effect mood, gets it's point across, and gets people talking. Just because you don't agree with the message doesn't make it bad. They presented one side of the story. Right or wrong Sea World chose not to be part of it. Every story has 3 parts, my side your side and the truth. Blackfish tells one of those parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
