Is the bottom going to drop out on Kentucky Kingdom's slide? I thought you were going to start on your back and do a sharp curve down.

I got them about as "charcoal" as I could. Planning on modifying supports to include the X frame seen on the actual rides dual pole supports.

Also posted in NL2 thread. A NL2 rendering of The Bat!

I'll quote Van Halen too. Why don't you try Banshee "Right Now"? Van Halen regularly tells me that on a beloved ride in Action Zone.

^ I don't think you are referring to me but I didn't see a second "fanboy" so just checking in. And just to make my stance clear, would I like the park to succeed? Yes. Will it be a battle? Yes. And also got back from second interview, they said they will be making hiring decisions off of this one, wish me luck!

I was on mobile at the time, must have not seen that part...oops lol

No matter how many snow days we have I am out May 16. According to school graduation is set in stone and cannot be changed. This is for seniors only though

Is the warrenty really 3 hours? If so all I can say is WOW that's not even enough time to complete testing phase. It also shows how much faith a company has in its product.

Which is worse... Geicohttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hxRoXuPjAKc Or Bob Avery...(I have omitted video as I am almost sure all of you know what he sounds like)

Maybe Terp can sit next to his best friend, Bob Avery. I'm sure that he would love being bombarded with "wheeeeee! Twisty-Loopty-loop!!!!!"

Wow this topic has gotten...aggressive. Instead of updates only arguments...

Well if anyone wants an update I made it past 1st round of interviews, going in for second round on Monday!

Posts so nice, he had to make thrice. FoF96" beating Terp to the punch. (if indeed Terp was planning on calling out triple post)

I think they have a shot of building all of the flat rides and the slide complex. The things that catch my attention as to should have been started awhile ago are the adventure river, the wave lagoon, and Lightning Run. I think that all of these might be built by the time the park opens but my guess is Lightning Run will be in the testing phase when the park opens.

After seeing where Banshee is in it's construction phase, I don't see how it is going to be possible to get everything Kentucky Kingdom has said they are going to open in 2014 done by opening day. Lightning Run has 0 vertical construction and the first slide complex began the other day. They are telling me that they are going to build a rollercoaster, 2 slide complexes, a new wave pool, an adventure river, a Drop Tower, an Eagles ride, bumper cars, and update their indoor theatre all in 4 months? I don't see how that is going to be possible, especially seeing the pace they seem to be moving at now.

I think if Kings Island ever added one of these outside of DA it would have to be small upcharge for capacity reasons.

The word "Batzel" has been stuck in my head all day. Idk why because I am calling it batwing, I think it was the golden batzels that did it.

Ok how would that even work? Twisted Twins has two tracks I don't see how connecting Thunder Run would do anything besides ruin a racing coaster. Edit: in case Terp saw I am aware Twisted Twins/Thunder Run are registered trademarks and must be capitalized.

Ride operations. I do communicate well and birthday falls before opening of park making me of age. That and along with the way I act have me fairly confident.

If jobs were actually being handed out with 1/7 I'd have about a 14% shot, however, after seeing some other applicants and the fact it will be interview makes me feel fairly confident. I think I have somewhere between 70-80% chance. My current boss said this as well as he was there that day for a meeting or something and he was like I had to use the restroom but some of the applicants scared me. Haha

80' s on 8... All day when I got I work...everyday and Sirius has No commercials. Granted I Since it's not summer I can only go to work when I'm off school because it's an orthodontist office that closes at 5.

I loved the bees. I actually have a few photos of me on that ride haha

^ that's part of the fun with Trabants! You slam them, they crush you.( your fingers) Who doesn't like that!? Lol*** And on the power surge, they have one at the Kentucky State Fair and it does not run at full tilt. For some reason my seat didn't flip a lot it just kept swinging to put my weight towards the ground but at full tilt I would imagine a different experience. ***please note that everything previous is sarcasm.

Sadly, Trabants are quickly becoming one of those "ride it while you can rides" that seem to be disappearing left and right, I know of one that was high quality at a small Panama City beach amusement park that was left to rot if not destroyed with the rest of the park. Sure there are a few traveling Wipeout models, but those seem to be slower at least at my fair and it does not appear every year, thankfully last year they brought their Trabant instead of Wipeout and it had a long pretty fast cycle. I can only hope these will be reinvented or be around in the future, it's always a shame when a great ride disappears.
