I remember in 1999 when I worked at KI when the entire park lost power, I just got off work and was changing into my street close when in the locker room when the entire room went black!

If that's true, I hope it wasn't a free Fast Lane for that night? Cause they were no need for a Fast Lane yesterday at ALL! In that last 2 hours we watched the Fireworks from the top of the tower, rode Flight Deck, Invertigo, Adventure Express, Racer, Vortex x2, and The Beast x2. So that will tell you how dead the park was!

Carowinds couldn't help that a tree fell on a power line and knocked power out to the park. And power outtages and surges happen, and these parks take a lot of energy to keep them running.

Yep, not all ride were affected. All of Action Zone minus Delirium went down, and most of the coasters went down with the exception of a few! But KI did a great job on getting all the affected rides up and running again pretty quickly. I do know they had to manually lower Invertigo from the second lift hill down to the base of the hill and evack the riders off, then they must had to pull the train back up to the top and release it so it could have gotten back to the station.

I was there today too, and your right park was DEAD!

The could bring back the eyes from the Son of Beast logo and use it in the new logo for the new ride? And the eyes could be RED?

Yep, its takes a pretty big budget to keep themes working, and most seasonal parks don't have that type of budget.

Even if they did include theme, how long would it take for the theme to not work anymore?

They built over a coaster at Wonderland, so anything is possible.

No It didn't go up today, I saw the signs the last time I was at the park. And I haven't been to the park today!

Parking has been that price for awhile at KI. you can see where they changed the signs!

Nope they do not change the parking price depending on the day! This is right off of KI's Web site. "Parking is $15 per vehicle for regular parking and $22 for preferred. A limited number of handicap parking spaces are available near the Front Gate on a first-come, first-served basis."

Well they are making progress, didn't Holiday World say it was going to take a lot of work just to get the wave pool up and going?"

I thought KI was 15 for parking and 22 for preferred? Thank Goodness for the Platinum Pass.

They do not have a buffet anymore. The Buffet was replaced with the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame Grille.

Why would be get a B&M Flyer when we already have a flying coaster, by Vekoma.

The Bring a Friend deal was also usually only for one 9.99 ticket per pass , this year a pass holder could have brought up to 4 friends with the special 9.99 price per ticket. I'm sure that's one of the reason's the park was so packed on fathers day!

Why couldn't they just set up temporary lights around the pool?

"The Only Place Thrills are Paramount." "Memories that Last a Lifetime." "Life Should Always Be This Good."

That was probably a picture of Diamond Falls that was located at KD.

It seems that may have gotten some of the lights working again. The lights on the tower were fully lit up last night.

Why doesn't this surprise me? After the day I had at KI today, one of the worst days in all my 26 years of going to that Park. I witnessed several several safety issues today!

I'm going tomorrow.

Actually the path was just removed this week. The moved the fence but the concrete from the path was just torn up. I saw the path from the tower last Saturday!

I noticed in the latest pics.
