SeaWorld Misses Targets, Stock Plummets
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?

SeaWorld Misses Targets, Stock Plummets
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

SeaWorld Misses Targets, Stock Plummets
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

Worlds of Fun's Great American Train Robbery
I will sat this terp, as an almost 30 year younger person. I enjoy the haunt, because it is frightening but its a different type of fright. I have almost always known the fear of being around me. I was 13? when 9/11 happened. I have lived more under the Global Terrorism Threat than without it. Being a father: I have so many worries that involve my son: choking, broken bones, being stolen, SIDS, head trauma, etc Being a homeowner: fire, water damage, tornado, breaking and entering, etc Not to mention the fear for my self or family members in my life. I enjoy being scared or having a "jumping" moment because at the end of the day. I can leave that behind. Laugh about it over Skyline or talk about it for years to come "Remember when you were scared by..." The real world stuff you cant leave behind. But I agree that I dont like Haunt taking over parts of other rides though.

article: Amusement Park Stocks Offer A Bumpy Ride
Stocks are crazy. When I graduated college, a group of us at my first job discussed trying to come up with about 1000 (between 3 guys) to buy 10-12 Apple Stocks. A few weeks later we all lost our jobs. 6 years later, Apple stock is worth almost 6 times what we wanted to buy it for. Would we have been rich? No but we would have 6 K to split 3 ways.

I also thought KI was the flag ship for the first few years before they moved it to Carowinds...

Honestly I never look at who is posting and think "hmm I'm going to pick on this one poster." Plus this is the first time I noticed you, sorry. Instead I just added more fuel for thought. Nothing more. Many apologies if you think I'm picking on you. Next time why don't you PM me so as not to clutter the boards with this silliness. My original point was this about The Beast or any ride. We are only one bad owner or ownership group away from them making some very terrible terrible decisions.

Never say never. All it takes is a company to make an investment (via loan) that it believes will make the park more profitable to sell. Then do so with all loans going with the property or paid off plus a handsome increase for the original owner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Season Long Dining Plan
From the check out screen So any Public Operating Day.... I would take that to mean the end of Haunt as Well... so its not a bad deal, not at all.... 9X19=$171..... Cost analysis: Go to the park 10 times, and eat 1 meals, it only costs $17 each time to eat (including the pass) Go to the park 10 times, and eat 2 meals, it only costs $8.50 each time to eat. Again not a bad bad deal.

Kentucky Kingdom
Playing Devil's Advocate to Terp. Its not like the Fair Board would be a hands off organization. It did say that they need to make more money. Maybe (just hypothetical) that KK is doing okay to sustain itself, but the Fair Board is not happy that it is not seeing a bigger income because of it.... Or more likely, what Terp Said

Intellectual properties
I think you are wrong about the characters. Yes there isnt a massive line, but people would walk up to them and get pictures. I remember as a child chasing down the Hannah Barbara characters. My son does the same with Snoopy.

Season Long Dining Plan
My big question for the meal plan, is why does it not include (KI) Chick-Fil-A or Subway (not sure what else it didnt include). The meals at Chick-Fil-A were the same price as any other combo in the park (Or I thought they were) so its not a price thing. Was it?

So KI needs one intense and one enjoyable coaster? One that works reliably and one that....

I think it depends. If we are talking about an imaginary world where it costs no money, I say great idea. However, if it means that a significant amount of the budget has to be dedicated to paying licensing fees, I say no way. Those fees would come to us as customers in one way shape or form. Either in higher prices or in less things around the park.

If you buy a meal plan and renew at the same time it can be done through the payment plan. If done separately I'm not sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I feel like a darn fool for over reacting. I just called KI and they said it's expected to be added to the website in a few days.... A meal plan a season pass and a two year is great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2015 Season Passes
I was going to renew both my wife's and my pass today with food option. Now not going to rush into it. I have to debate it if its going to be worth the hassle of bringing a 2 year old to the park a lot if I have to leave to go get food or bring food to the car.
