Yes, but the name escapes me right now. in a minute, it'll Come to me.

Yay! Combined with the great wooden coaster, an old Arrow, and a few other things (plus a big waterpark), this looks like it will be a great escape. Next time I feel the desire to travel to approximately 43.35 degrees north latitude, I can have big fun.

Not sure if this would be considered in the Potato Works category:

Due to a year-round operating schedule, KBF lets people know when a ride is out for the routine maintenance that would have been done in the off season. Other CF parks don't have a list shown on the website.

If I remember correctly, the Knott's Rides Closed list said WindSeeker would be closed through October 20th too. It might just be that they are leaving it in the list of closed rides, and that February will show the next rounds of down rides.

Page 31 of the KKRC_ResponseOct2012w.pdf from earlier in the thread: "THE IMPORTANCE OF MARQUEE RIDES It takes big rides that make a big statement to give people in the secondary markets a reason to drive to Louisville. This was proven in 1997, when the former Kentucky Kingdom (before its sale to Six Flags) unveiled Chang, the tallest stand-up steel roller coaster in the world at the time and built by one of the top roller coaster manufacturers in the world, Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. (This is the same manufacturer that will supply the new coaster planned for installation at Kentucky Kingdom in 2015.)"

I just sent mine. After thinking things over, I have The Racer above The Beast this year, probably because I somehow didn't ride it at night all year. 1-Zippin Pippin 2-Phoenix 3-Legend 4-Georgia Cyclone 5-High Roller 6-Thunderhead/El Toro 8-American Thunder 9-Prowler 10-Raven/Voyage

These are supposed to be photos that you took, not ones you found posted online. That photo is from http://www.negative-g.com/KingsIsland/KingsIsland2010/Kings-Island-2010-9.htm. It is also copyright infringement if you don't have the permission from the photographer. (Even if he didn't display the Copyright 1999 - 2013 Paul B. Drabek at the bottom of his page.) Also, from http://www.negative-g.com/PhotoUsage.htm : Web Site Usage 3. Cite the photos to "Paul Drabek/Negative-G.com" as well as link them to Negative-G.com.

It isn't that far of a stretch from saying the "PTCs are what makes the ride so great" to me reading that as you would like for them to stay on the ride. It seemed quite illogical that you would want to replace the thing that makes the ride so great, so I asked what I did. I really don't see why it offended you so much.

Oh, thanks. I don't think I've ever seen it open, maybe it is for the best.

That bugs me to. If the gate is closed it just looks smoother. However without the animatronics, it is sort of a boring ride view. Not much to look at. I'm confused...what is the gate?

20:50 would translate to 8:50 pm, not 4:50 pm. The "-04:00" merely indicates the time zone as an offset from UTC (in this case Eastern Daylight Time); it doesn't mean to subtract four hours from the time given. Also consider whether you reset your camera for the end of DST last month; if not, that would contribute to its clock being set wrong, meaning it would have only been one hour off (about 7:50 pm). Sunset that day was 8:46 pm, and given the angle of the shadow on the top of the yellow portion of the tower cast by the checkered portion, it's reasonable to say that the sun was low in the sky, and the sun is hitting the tower from the west, which backs up that conclusion. So I would say that it was taken shortly before 8:00 pm. jcgoble3, playing forensic photograph examiner My camera has automatically switched to Standard time, as current photos show a -05:00 at the end. Further investigation has revealed that my camera appears to be about 2:16 ahead of real time, 20:50 - 2:16 would be about 6:34pm. I am now suggesting a time of 6:34pm on May 18, 2012.

Two minutes after I took a pic of the Festhaus clock which said 12:00. According to the exif file: 2012-05-18T20:50:45.60-04:00 May 18, 2012. 4:50pm if my camera's time was set properly, but I don't think it was(It is showing an advanced time of two hours now. Probably a little earlier in the afternoon. Maybe just before 3pm EDT, but that is really just a guess.

The inference came from: You like the out of control feel the PTC train gives, but the main difference with a Timberliner will be the ablility to steer through the turns, giving it more of a controlled feeling.

So was the reason you asked Holiday World about the Timberliners because you want to hear that they will not be used?

That didn't stop them from using the PTC trains on the ride. It could still happen for 2013.

Yes, after finally reading all the rules, that is accurate. Unless 'Old Helicopter rdie' means Backlot Stunt Coaster.

You're supposed to give one easy and one hard. Both of those would qualify as "hard", methinks. Okay, then I'll change Option 2 to a photo of Snoopy Starlight Spectacular area (the stars with lights and huge flowers and things area)

Option 1- Paw prints on sign in Scooby Doo Woodstock Express line Option 2 - Potatos in scale by Rivertown Potato Works Edit: Revised list- Hard - Paw prints on sign in Scooby Doo Woodstock Express line Easy - Snoopy Starlight Spectacular area

Knott's had an upcharge haunt area.
