Yep. Our home number was in the database, so my dad filed a claim.

My guess (having not yet ridden White Water Canyon this year) is that White Water Canyon riders are far more likely to notice Mystic Timbers than Mystic Timbers riders are to notice White Water Canyon. So there is interaction, but only from one side for the most part.

@VortexBFForever would probably like to have a word with you about this statement.

Cue Goble melt down in 3, 2, 1... The ONLY park that could get away with that in my book would be Holiday World.

Really? It seems to me that the Mystic Timbers line moves faster than the Diamondstack line.

IIUC, there is a button in the drive box that the driver presses for each empty seat as the train is being dispatched. The computer also counts the number of trains dispatched. The number of riders is then calculated as (number of trains dispatched) × (number of seats per train) − (number of times empty seat button was pressed). The real question is how they determine which individual rider on the train is the millionth. In reality, they're all riding simultaneously, so aren't they really all the co-millionth riders? jcgoble3, co-two-millionth rider on Banshee

I believe they open at the same time as the waterpark itself.

Ya think?

After Decades Of Decline And Disrepair, Conneaut Lake Park Is Turning A Profit http://wesa.fm/post/after-decades-decline-and-disrepair-conneaut-lake-park-turning-profit#stream/0 Wonderful to see the park rebounding so nicely from bankruptcy.

I don't know. I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, but it's one that is easily rescheduled should an announcement be announced. Still, the more notice I can give the person I'm meeting with, the better.

So it's mainly for children and ADA access. Interesting. As for your talk about real cabooses on freight trains, I've seen the inside of one. The Greene County Historical Society maintains an original caboose (manufactured in 1937, I believe) on display at the Xenia Station bike hub in Xenia. The caboose is quite popular with kids at the playground adjacent to it. My dad, in addition to being the GCHS's vice president, is also on their Railroad Display Committee, which directly performs maintenance on the caboose, and loves explaining what everything is to the little kids, so I've heard his spiels multiple times. There isn't a set schedule for opening the caboose to the public, but my dad will usually open it up for a little bit anytime he goes down there to work on it, and it's usually open for any major festival downtown (such as First Fridays). I don't know where you live, but if you're ever in the Xenia area, go check it out. It's at the corner of South Detroit St. and Home Ave., just a few blocks south of the center of town.

Yeah, the problem with having the Smokehouse in Soak City is that it's not available when the waterpark isn't open, which means most of the spring season, the whole fall season, and later in the evenings in the summer. I'd love to be able to eat that pulled pork and corn pudding at Haunt, and the pulled pork at Reds Grille doesn't seem like the same.

We were told at the Keys to the Kingdom tour in late March by Ed Hart himself that the announcement would be in either April or late May (not early May as they didn't want the news to get lost in the Kentucky Derby coverage). Seems that plan fell apart.

Great story! I find it interesting that SFSL uses cabooses. AFAIK I've never seen an amusement park train that does that. Do you know why they use a caboose, and if it serves any specific purpose in the amusement park setting?

Preferably starting with restrooms.

More specifically, it's now below the signature instead of between the post and the signature.

Keep in mind that Fast Lane is designed with one purpose (for the guest, that is): jump you to the front of the line (or close to it) as often as you want. The Flash Pass, however, is a virtual queuing system, with the idea being that you wait in line without actually standing in the queue the whole time. The basic form of the latter does allow you to do more rides (by, e.g., doing a 45-minute wait for a ride and doing a meal or show concurrently rather than consecutively), but not nearly as many. Six Flags does offer higher tiers that actually shorten wait times, but the same concept applies to a slightly lesser extent. I would prefer to see Cedar Fair move toward a Flash Pass-like system.

For smaller announcements, they've often announced the announcement one day before. So I would look for that tweet/whatever on Tuesday.

@malem As you were viewing my post above, I edited in an issue that I'm still seeing. Can you confirm that issue? EDIT: Also, tags still aren't displaying properly anywhere but the edit box.

We had a suite of reactions for a little bit. What happened to those? You had me excited for those, and then you took them away? EDIT: Also, I'm still seeing a margin/padding issue in the post boxes, where the text is touching the line between that box and the user details box. Ubuntu 17.04, Firefox 55.0b14, KICentral Bright theme.

Ah, got it. I figured it was something like that.

What just happened? I clicked on my bookmark to KIC to find that I was logged out. I logged back in, and now all the formatting is screwy, tags aren't working right, and likes aren't showing up at all. Going to try to tag @malem right here but I don't know if it will work.

This is an unofficial fan-operated website with no affiliation with the park itself. You will need to contact the park via one of the methods on this page.

You don't want to find wind. If you do, the ride shuts down because it doesn't know what to do with it.
