  1. Yea we just got here line extends almost to the Diamondback drink stand. We were told it was at lead a 2 hour wait and no guarantee if any of the characters would be there. Off to Planet Snoopy oh well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Thanks for the heads up. We are actually heading up now to see the Avengers. Maybe some of the crowd will have disappeared.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Giving people who are untrained an open mic can e dangerous, for many reasons. That person may feel that thy have to fill the dead air and unintentionally annoy, scare, or confuse patrons. They may also accidentally put the company at risk for many things. Not to mention the ride op who thinks the spiel is more important than the safety checks. Still to this day the best person a mic I have ever seen was a few years back on TTD. He was engaging, professional, charismatic, caring, and genuine. He helped make that ride all the better. Not once did he interrupt his safety checks before spieling and he never confused the rides name or location. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Disney does an entire resort stay for on ride and character photos. KI just started an all day photo option. I know they did it in the past (or thought they did) that you could buy your on ride photo and they could send it to customer service or the keyhole photo booth... Maybe?

  5. BB7 cool it dude. You have done a lot in your short time here to have created a reputation.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I wonder if this will be similar to the Dent ShoolHouse maze at least in structure appearance... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. And people are different as well. Five years ago, people would have thought you were crazy if you took a "selfie" and posted it online. Imagine the amour of money the park would make if they made a 5 min (or much less depending on the ride) videos that you could buy for $10 and it would be emailed to you...

  8. Long lines or not, when we were walking around earlier the nice temp and cool breeze was wonderful Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hey everyone my real name is Matt and lil shark is Michael! We have been up here since a little after 10, so we are actually heading out. I would love to meet up with y'all sometime this year. But a sleepy 1 year old is nothing to mess around with haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Yea it's been a great day to walk around and see shows, lil shark is loving it! I have seen a bunch of people who looked like they wanted to go to Soak City Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Yes the park is pretty packed. Kid rides are a 15-20 min wait, Action Zone was wall to wall people.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Good call y'all. If anyone's at the park today let me know it looks like it will be a kiddy area and show day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Actually from the HuffPost article it looks like the park originally told her she could use the health room and not a bathroom. She has the right to "plop down on a rock" and feed the kiddo. Looks like the parks misstep was using the word discretion. I think she was right to be upset. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. So I found an easy fix to the Tower Garden smoking section. Located in the TG area is a wide open space not used currently. It's a tree covered circle basically located between the Carousel and the building used for Delta Delta Die. They then could open the entire TG to general guess and maybe turn on the waterfall Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Just got to the park to get a few rides in quickly.... Parking lot is packed but it's just now starting to sprinkle, maybe people will disperse because of it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. So which sauce is the sauce in question? Which bottle/color? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Oh yeah, my little guy and I get there between 10-11 usually. By no later than 1 or 2 he is toasted. He needs to sleep hard core for about an hour or so. There is no where in the park, that I know of currently, where I can take him where it is cool, semi quiet, and shaded that he can just sleep it off. So we leave around that time for the day.
  18. Agreed, I walked right by that and thought, "wow what a bunch of rude smokers... holy cow thats the smoking area..." If I were to move smoking areas, here is what I would do. In Coney Mall, I would use Flight Commanders former queue area, put some benches or tables over there. Just off the beaten path, but still in a nice area. On the way to Snoopy, what about near the exit of the train ride between WWC and the train. Tower Gardens smoking section be transformed into a smokers area and still keep the fountain part open to everyone. Its like they have this entire area that is unused because as you said, not many smokers decide to smoke and stroll through a relaxing park. Most get a smoke in and then go on with their day...
  19. Tanya that's a fair point, my question has always been why take away a nice spot that can be enjoyed by all (circle in the middle of Coney/ Tower Gardens) and not build a nice out of the way spot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Maybe it was really just an over reactive employee. But if that's the case, shame on KK for either 1) not preparing these young men and women for this type of thing or 2) use it as a teaching opportunity and not fire the employee. 2 steps forward two steps back....

  21. My top 10 is highly influenced by the people I rode the rides with. Which I think is the point of amusement parks is to help spark memories. Before getting into the list I have to agree that seeing the Eiffel Tower as you drive up 71 and pull into the lot, only to have t disappear in the parking lot, ride the team, and walk through the gates to have the Tower welcome you, is just a glorious glorious memory. 1) Beast: first real adult ride. I remember growing up on that ride and I knew the moment I was no longer was just a little kid was when my mom or dad didn't keep an arm draped over me to keep me from flying out. Not sure why but Beast has memories associated with my mom and her riding it with me. 2) White Water Canyon: standing in an hour long line with my aunt and grandma as try told me about the gum trees. You know where thy pick chewing gum to go in the packets! But this ride is the only ride I have a memory of riding with my aunt and grandma. 3) King Kobra: walking into the queue line beneath the station and it was lined with the tall wood fences added a mystery to the ride. 4) Racer: fun air time, enjoyable every time 5) Kenton Keelboats and Race for Your Life Charlie Brown. Growing up we would hit these back to back. I associate this ride with my dad. He would be in charge of making sure my sister an I didn't fly out of the boat. 6) Phantom Theater: air conditioning, an enjoyable story, and made me feel younger it was a great mix 7) Days of Thunder Action Theater: from the theme of the queue with race cars to the actual ride it was fun. Hone table mention goes to the James Bond replacement 8) Top Gun/Bat: the theming of the ride was so cool to the young me. This was also the only ride I have ever chickened out at. At the last minute I freaked out (after waiting in a full line when it first opened) and was left to sit in the child jail . I also remember camping and hearing the lift hill motor go off in the middle of a severe electrical storm. 9) Antique Cars: rode this when I was little and have the memories of my cousin letting me drive. I really do miss those cars 10) the Jetson Orbiters: if my memory recalls you could push on a bar and it would raise/lower the car (or at least that's what they told us).... Tied at this spot would be the Flintstone bumper cars Banshee/Diamondback/FOF/SOB/BLSC are all nice coasters or unique coasters in their own way, but it's something about memories that change the way you look at things. Now ask me this question when my son asks me to take him on big rides and these listings are sure to change Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. and I hoped you would have linked to this sexism and cigarettes... together
