I'd say that's the big difference between "coaster" enthusiasts and "amusement park" enthusiasts. ArieForce One never made much sense for the type of park FunSpot is/was. Like you said, great ride but that park just wasn't really the right type of place for a multi-million dollar RMC construction.

Have fun!

As a fellow saxophonist myself, I'm so happy you got to go connect with Bird. He was my inspiration growing up too!

I think that's a wise decision. Entire Midwest is going to be a mess on Tuesday for weather. Could be a severe weather event for many of us...

I agree wholeheartedly. I used to never miss a single game either in person or on radio. I had family members who actually worked as trainers for the players back in the day including Ken Griffey Jr... I was completely obsessed back then. But these last few years... yeah. It's very hard to have much of a positive outlook right now in terms of the team. Now as far as your trip goes, I'm definitely eager to hear your thoughts on Silver Dollar City!

If you're a baseball fan, Busch stadium is indeed a bucket list type of venue to visit at least once. Even though I bleed Cincinnati Reds all the way, I can't help but really like it. Just a very classic place.

The first two minutes alone was entertaining. Hahaha… the montage with the happy commercial music playing… *chef’s kiss.

If you’re into history, Cahokia Mound isn’t too far away. It’s the remnants of the largest indigenous ancient city north of Mexico.

That's probably a good idea. You never know!

It’s indeed a much better drive as far as geographic points of interest. Plus, you could make a detour to Holiday World lol… Enjoy the KC bbq!

It is indeed very, very boring. I64 to I71 is much more interesting of a drive. You get all the southern Indiana/Northern Kentucky hills.

Maybe Legoland? Not sure they have space either… or the cash…

I agree. I think if it gets relocated it would be somewhere like Florida.

I agree. There was something so magnificent about seeing that mountain of a coaster rising up in the distance as I’d get closer to the park. It was just so… iconic.

Have a great time!

There are some people who I consider a gift to humanity. He was definitely one of them. What an incredible life!

Good call on skipping the Reds for your trip. They’re straight up awful this year.

Good Gravy! at Holiday World always surprises us with how smooth it is too. For a family shuttle coaster, I can't get enough of it haha...

Only 2 in the whole park? That’s no good…

“So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance!”

Great announcement and very creative! My family and I are looking forward to riding it next year!

For us, last year we were blown away by Cookes of Dublin. We simply had the cheeseburgers and it was an instant favorite. We had some other high quality meals throughout our time in Orlando (including some excellent pizza from Epic Universe), but something about those Dublin cheeseburgers… we still talk about it. I hope we can scrounge up money to go back to Florida again some day!

Hence why they stand out, at least to us.

This is happening across a lot of companies and organizations, not just KI. The school I work for used to highlight students and their achievements mixed with updates on future events. But now? It’s just bland generic crap mixed with AI about enrollment. It really feels like less and less people take pride in their work. There’s a specific term I’m thinking of… online quality continues to degrade over time…

I really think it’s going to be a Mack water coaster: https://www.mack-rides.com/products/water-coaster Would be such a fantastic addition to the park.
