...while doing the bare minimum to pass State inspections...
I didn't realize you were familiar with the criteria for passing the state inspections. Oh that's right, you're not. And before you ask, yes, I am.
Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, what are they?

The park was not even the same park the first time it failed, the park was completely different and the second it failed due to improper management. Ed has proven to us twice (Magic Springs) that he can successfully run a park. The fact they are postponing this represents that the politicians know it will not favor well with the public but, they are also aware of the fact that in the long term the park is expected to bring in millions of dollars of profits for the state and may I remind you, it's citizens as well.

^Some of the greatest bills ever passed were all disapproved in great numbers at first but, in the end they more than paid off.

Thanks guys for all the help. I know all the high or normal capacity rides should all be walk ons but, any idea on the wait for a low capacity ride like Firehawk?
-
Thanks CoastersRZ, does anyone know how crowded the first bobble head day was? Weather predicted in Mason for that today is a low of 41.
-
Does anyone have an estimate on how crowded it will be on Sunday the 24th?

If you have to explain it is a satire, that means its a good one.

^Are you telling me random fat, drunk, pieces of white trash didn't randomly come up and hit with a beer can? Oh well, then I'm sure they at least ran around the park naked, swearing like sailors, while running around punching people in the face at random? Oh, and of course I'm sure RIGHT NOW a group of hillbillies has just broken into the park, while riding a tractor and our planning to burn the park to a crisp.
Edit: Apparently there has been some confusion. The post above is a satire and not serious.

And food pricing in a park scores of miles from Kings Island will never affect Kings Island food pricing. Many factors are used in determining food pricing (or should be) at Kings Island, but pricing at an amusement park nearly 100 miles away is not one of them.
That's like saying if one man were to punch another man directly in the face, the victim would not respond. If Kentucky Kingdom manages to become a force against King's Island, AGAIN. I'm quite sure King's Island will begin to lower their prices.

Does anyone have any idea how crowded it will be during the days of Oct 23 and the 24th? If i go I will be going during the day before haunt starts, if I do in fact go.

And come to think of it, if the state needs the park to raise revenue, is that an appropriate Government function? If the park cannot make it in the private sector, is it a wise use of Government credit and funding to operate an amusement park? Is Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom too big to fail and needs rescuing like GM and Chrysler were, but this time by a state government? SIX FLAGS Kentucky Kingdom was a private sector operation, the proposed Ed Hart's Kentucky Kingdom is supposedly owned by the state, operated by the state, leased to Ed Hart, but Ed Hart would have us believe the state gets the revenue and the rides....something doesn't add up here. And if I were Beech Bend or Holiday World or Kings Island, I would be livid that the State of Kentucky was subsidizing my competitor...in Beech Bend's case, using state tax monies paid by Beech Bend itself, in part.
Not to mention that Ed Hart's partner in this operation is Bruce Lunsford, the big time Democratic politician, once the Kentucky Democratic Party treasurer and who ran against Mitch McConnell, and lost.
In Alabama, the state and some counties got together and funded Visionland. It failed. In New York, Playland at Rye is a continual money loser that local politicians vow to close from time to time. These are the only two government run parks in recent memory in the USA.
Then there's Kentucky Kingdom's past. It's failed. Twice already.
I see no prospect of this succeeding.
You have to understand that both times it failed it was under completely different management. Six Flags rarely put anything new, in fact they removed more then they added and still managed to survive for 13 years. The first time Kentucky Kingdom opened it was a small theme park aimed entirely at families. It was also very small totaling at only 9 acres. When Ed ran the park it was extremely successful and was even considered by some to be better than Kings Island. Not only was it putting a large dent in the mid west largest theme park's attendance, it was also causing a big decrease in revenue for Kings Island. As for state funding it's exactly the same as one business investing in another.

^Let's not forget what really fuels the amusement park industry, money. If he doesn't get any money he wont do it..
