I love the little duckies, but I can see them upping the theme for variety. I never played for the prize, it's to get a shirt for my mom. but that maintenance tour really caught my eye. I'll be there kickin'.

I just had to deal with this last visit- it turns a fun fear into a real one. I don't want to dodge things as I ride.I'm hearing the cameras cover two seats in their taping. When the cameras photograph four seats, sometimes your on ride phot gets nixed because some guy you don't know gives the finger.

Do not want. It scared me when I went above the sides of the slides at The Beach. There's a cage around this thing now, I see, and they are using rafts, but still I wouldn't ride it. The possibility of flipping upside down is too much.

I didn't want to be greedy, but I was thinking, "Ooh- Tower Gardens, too, please." also.

It it means what I think it does, I want a seat by the exit, with popcorn.

It's hard for me to watch heavier riders insisting on ride ops squishing them into chairs. The Racer is from another time, and it's difficult to fit certain builds into the trains. I don't know why I'm seeing it more than I used to, maybe I've been oblivious, but to have a rider tell a ride op to use their knee to force the bar down is hard for me to watch. To be honest, I worry more for the ride op, if something happened. I can see something added around the waist of some riders would be difficult in that situation, where inches count.

i'll like it some for you. This is great. i can't wait to hear it.

As long as they are asking, I want a Berzerker for Halloween. A small girl holding back a big galloot with a rope- that looks like he'll almost break free.

That's what would work. They don't have to call a backhoe, just... push some chairs around a little. FC queue would be more than perfect, and frankly cover a lot more of the area than that Circle o' Brick. I recall back when the kids, (now college-aged, I'm that old.) would trawl the park. you get a nosh, go sit in the park, and they can cool their jets. Strollers need way more space than smokers, and there's benches all through the gardens. it's quiet enough to let them dose a bit, it's shaded, so the kids don't get hot or burnt. In an hour, they are ready to go, and so are you. If the park did this, more people would stay for supper. As it is, I get to the park around five thirty pm, and there's an outpouring of strollers from the gates. If they just had a break from the day, they could probably stay a bit longer.

Thanks. I thought that's what happened, she was flung and was hanging on. I just didn't know what physics was involved.

it looks massive huge in the picture. I think it will suit the mill just fine.

Not dehumanizing on the surface, but in the anti-smoking literature, you'll see the terms "Denormalize/dehumanize" in the methods. You've written "I hate smoking." You hate the act, not the person. I've also noticed your reaction to smoking is more like it was before many smoking bans were in place. Some here have written "I hate smokers" and that smokers should be banned from the park. That is directed at me, personally. It's meant to be directed at me. The anti-smoking groups mean it that way. I'm supposed to be hurt, ("I thought they were my friends") but I'm not. As I've stated in my post before, I've long gotten used to people patting me on the back, looking for that soft spot to plunge the knife. If you replace 'smokers' with "Their kind", and "Those people", you can see what I mean. The people that say "I hate smokers" and not "I hate smoking", I believe, may not be aware they are replacing the action with the actual human. Some people need to hate, and smokers are group that's been tacitly approved by society to hate. We are doing something legal, most of us in a legal area, I don't smoke in restaurants, I don't smoke outside the areas of the park, but these boys want me -personally- gone. And they've never met me. I agree with you that KI, being a private business, can go completely smoke free. I'll just find another park that would have me. I believe in free enterprise. As I've said, I don't go to restaurants, I don't go to bars, I don't go where my nicotine stained money might taint their souls. I also agree with you that non-users made the policy.

Well, unstop, thanks for saying that for me. It would have to take a lot of umph to justify the dime. Also, I've noted your praise of Slaughterhouse suits my observation as well.

They're budging around Slaughterhouse. It makes sense to me to alter the werewolf the theme. Twilight's a little dated. Barged down by Rivertown, no pun intended, it might be best to go from flannel theme to waterway theme.

Could it theoretically, from your experience of riding it, turn someone upside down in their seat? I imagine she fell out, and was hanging onto the bar, the witness might have misconstrued, that's why I'm asking.

KiGuy, I would be one of them. My aunt tells a story of when she worked in a Big Box store, and heard the manager tell security about the dirty Gypsies in the store. They were talking about my cousin and myself, we were there with money in our hands to buy bread. My aunt told them that we were her nieces, and quit her job that day. (The manager said they didn't mean her, my aunt replied "It's never meant for those within earshot." But she knew it meant her, too, they just didn't know it at the time.) Out of consideration, I never let my dirty Gypsy money get near that Big Box store again. I don't want them to get my germs. Once a store or organization dehumanizes me, I do them the favor of not infecting their space. A week later, the manager of a chain inn heard about what happened and gave my aunt a job at front desk. I ALWAYS book at that inn, they like my dirty money.

So I take it no one has ridden it to tell me about the tricks of the layout?

Perusing my posts, you can see I'm just as confused. I would prefer the Tower Gardens redone and made into a sleepy time kids spot. It's cool, the waterfall would be comforting, and both you and I know there's a point in the day where a kid needs to stop and rest a bit, or they get overtired. Snoopy sleeps on his doghouse, why not feature that motif? The spot on Coney Island midway is too awkward. I understand they design for full capacity, and they have a percentage they go by, but there's no need for that great big circle. Most smokers would prefer a spot carved out of the way, and this is my survey of smokers in the park. If you look at smokers, we mostly stand, there's only a few sitting, and we are used to being close together. You meet a lot of interesting people, that way. We don't want spaces too far apart. We want to enjoy the park like everyone else- we eat in the smoking section to save time to get back to the park. That's why you see so many standers. Why can't the smoking area at the edge of Planet Snoopy have a path going back? Why does it have to be RIGHT on the sidewalk?

In 2008 Adventureland has embarked on its most extensive addition yet – a new water area named Adventure Bay. The first water attraction in this area is Kokomo Kove, a virtual splash factory of fun for all ages, with hundreds of ways to get wet! Chief "Imaginer" and CEO Jan Krantz has watched the park grow from an amusement facility in 1973, consisting of Main Street and a few rides and shows, to a full-scale 180 acre resort complete with Inn and Campground. https://www.adventurelandpark.com/about/

Haha, XGator, I needed that like you don't know how. It took a lot for me to return to this forum. There are times I've had an unlit cigarette in my hand, and had people go into paroxyms of coughing and carrying on. I just realized I had a unusual pet peeve: People that want to ban a certain group from the park, especially when many of the of the group they want to ban go out of their way to accomadate the people that want to ban them. If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you prick us, do we not bleed?

Hm. Another post shanghaied. OK, I get it! I won't get a pass next year- jeez. Along the rides conversation, there was talk of a interactive dark ride in an interview of Mr. Ouimet. Even though there's Boo Blasters, the description of the ride provided in the interview would be an exciting addition. Boo Blasters does have a steady line, but it is seeming run down and dated to me.

I see that situation as the person with sensitive lungs problem. I am by no means standing up for e-cigarets, but that is technically not the smokers problem. If you have sensitive lungs you should be responsible enough to not go around stuff like that or to avoid e-cigs. That would be like me seeing someone with a big candy bar, and me getting mad at them because I'm a diabetic and not being able to eat one. Not trying to be rude to you or to tell you you're wrong at all. You are not being rude at all.Mostly my issue with smoking is walking around with a lit fire, which can burn in a crowd. I burnt a hole in my jeans, that's my problem, but someone burns a hold in a kids' arm, that's an issue. On this forum, I've learned that some people are irritated by smokers to the point they want them banned from the park. I don't take that personally, i don't go to the ballpark or restaurants anymore, I'm used to it. But I'm now aware of people that can't tolerate smoke to the point they have to avoid rides with smoke effects, water effects, the front part of the KI train, home fireworks shows. Cookouts, BBQs, campfires, bonfires, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, Haunted parks, incense, potpourri burners, some birthday parties, and the list goes on. Their list of banned places must be far longer than my list of places I can't go. It has to be terrible for them to avoid a lot of fun places.

There's people, some on this board, that have very sensitive lungs, so I would suspect the vapor of an e-cig would affect them. I'm not a doctor, so I can't go into any causes, but I'm sure they've gone to a doctor to look into it. I'm sure they'd avoid rides like TR:TR and the old Top Gun when it had effects. Perhaps it's best that the rides are dropping the themes. I suspect that many of them don't go to Haunt for the reason stated, the fog machine is a very big e-ciggy thing.

I own them, I enjoy them, but I must agree. I have black e-cigs, cuz I'm THAT continental, but my father has one that looks like a regular cig. It's best to exclude all cigarettes in line, then by mistake encourage smoking in line. Even though the train is open air, it may not be so for the people in the middle of the seat. Some days, it's like Bangladesh on that train, and twice as wet with bathing suit clad people.
