Another reason why I hate fair rides. The Operators look scary, and errors do happen.

I rode Firehawk around 10:45ish on Friday Night, with only a 20 minute line. But I don't think it opened till late. Cause I also didn't see it going for the longest time. The fog was so thick that you could hardly see the layout of the ride, while you were in line.

When I walked by the shop that has all clearance in it, it said 70 percent off Paramount items. So I'm not sure if all of the shops reduced Paramount Stuff to 70 percent off or not. But I did see that one sign that said that.

IJST is open for HH, and is listed on the official map for HH. TR won't be open for other reasons. Not because of a retheme, but the same reason it's been shut down most of the season.

Not necessary, it took them a lot of time to set up everything for Endless Summer, so I would guess it would take some time to take the stuff down too. Now they may be going to keep an ice show in the Paramount Theater for 2008, but only time will tell.

This is for HH period, it's listed on the HH map. The lines were not that bad at all last night, I just chose to ride last night, as I was walking the park alone, and didn't really feel like doing the haunts alone. Rides lines were pretty short all evening, with Firehawk being about 30 minutes. But after 11 the park really cleared out. Friday Nights are predicted to be the best nights to go, they are excepting Large Crowds on Saturday Nights.

Yes that's true, they are saying, that you can't leave the park after 7pm and come back in. I also feel this is BS.

I guess he feels safer that is has seat belts now. I still think they are silly.

I'll be there, the temp around the time the park closes it supposed to be 52 so yeah it'll be chilly, but not freezing.

Cedar Fair changed that policy on KI's Water Rides. Under Paramount Shirts must been worn, but Cedar Fair doesn't have that policy. I also think now you don't have to wear shoes either.

Sounds like it was in 2000 when you rode it. I rode it in 2001 and didn't think it was a bad coaster either.

Yeah I found that kind funny that they didn't mention that it was at an amusement park. Which one was that again? Oh thats right Kings Island. LOL

Too bad they didn't have a set of flyers at GL, we could get a set of Flying Eagles back. LOL

That's cool, sounds fun though, I'm sure Six Flags will have all of the facts on it's St Louis page soon, if it's not already.

Probably transplanted at other Cedar Fair parks. We could use a couple. LOL

Sounds good. 7 million is that cheap for a new wooden coaster?

I doubt it. But Phantom does make a come-back sorta in 2007. Look for remnants of PT in Coney Maul for HH.

I would guess, a music/dance show, and they probably use a video screen for some visuals. Not sure though.

If they don't plan on relocating Villain, I wonder if they could send one of the trains to KI, and actually set SOB up to run with a 3 train operation? It's possible, they could add another block out-side the station so they don't have to use the block brake as a holding area. Just wishful thinking. I doubt it will happen.

Pic # 3 is the old bi-planes that used to be on the ride that is now Blue's Skidoos in Nick U.

You can hear or I thought the soundtrack while walking through the line. Also I do remember the spinning radar thing they had.

Oh, I rode one of his creations, At Six Flags St Louis. LOL. A great ride.

I'm just as excited to get back on some coasters, as well as HH. LOL. I'm actually wanting to ride SOB again. Am I crazy? LOL

There is plenty of room for advancement for a ride op. How do you think KI gets there Area Managers for rides. Also the Full Time Managers, they all had to start out somewhere. Ride Operator > Ride Supervisor > Rides Area Manager > then I would guess, that a Rides Area Manager could be promoted to a full time Rides Manager.

It's getting closer guys, 2 more days, minus well say that, this day is almost over anyway. LOL. Who is all going on Friday? I'll be there, from open till close.
