FoF96"

Guys I'm going to the job fair this Saturday as I live fairly close, I'll let you all know if anything interesting happens or if it appears to be organized because I'm expecting quite a few unemployed to be there , if they even saw the message as KK only announced it via social media and their website. It might be the case that not many people show due to not knowing about it but who knows.

I liked the decoding thread and although this wasn't quite a "good" memory I remember being at the park and hearing a loud noise over the speakers followed by something along the lines of "severe weather in the area, please seek shelter" the shelter I chose I think was either Flight of Fear inside or Diamondback, seems like almost every time I can go inclement weather follows lol

Even though this article is almost a year old now, it seems that the new Miracle Strip plans on rebuilding the starliner coaster (1964). If this happens I might give the new version a chance. http://m.newsherald.com/news/business/miracle-strip-owners-seek-to-expand-1.93722/

I know, I think I had gone to the pavilion one time although I don't have memories of it like I do Miracle Strip. anymore when I go to the beach, all of the amusement parks there are very sub-par if there are any at all.

I don't remember traffic as I was either 7 or 8 the last time I went and I think we may have walked there because we stayed somewhere near it. It is just terrible that such a great park was ending for those condos which STILL have not happened.

Seeing in the Coney Island thread that their Trabant was being removed it instantly reminded me of Miracle Strip amusement park, although I have only been there twice, some of my strongest memories were on the Dante's inferno ride (Indoor Trabant), the abominable snowman (indoor Eli bridge scrambler), The Musik Express, and the dungeon (indoor tilt-a-whirl). Although it has been gone for some time it's memories remain very strong with me. I even vaugly remember a wooden coaster and the O2 tower their newest and final addition. It may have seemed nicer because of how young I was but it had a decent lineup for a beach amusement park, especially compared to those of today. I also remember how sad I was when mom told me it would be the last time I was visiting the park because it was going to close soon. What I want to know is if anyone on here shares memories at this once amazing small amusement park. Or what would happen if it were still open today (not counting miracle strip @ Pier Park.)

No!, now I will no longer be able to get my cherry Coke, well at least if I go there it's like 1 time a year because mom hates it haha

I also notice there is no Fast Lane at this time for Banshee, could they be deciding whether to put it in regular or plus? Or simply not include it for the first season?

Well shoot, and here I was wanting to be able to scrape my feet on the ground, guess that won't be happening anymore

^ and to add on to that the post, the statement of his you originally quoted said that since he had been in ride operations, he had an intrest in knowing how it worked. I, nor has anyone else seen him refer to himself as "an expert". Let's all act our age and maybe santa will bring us some presets this year.

haha I have something similar to that...but not nearly on the same scale...at all I have a Huss Rainbow and a Mack Musik Express.

I find it strange that I live in Louisville and have not seen one of these billboards yet. I do seem to stay on the east side, maybe Kentucky Kingdom figures we like our golf and tennis more than the park.

Could the lift not simply work in a similar way The Beast does? instead of like on The Bat where it has a set slow point. The chains speed could be dependent on where train in front is at. when getting on The Beast you never know if you are going to make a 30 second climb or a 30 minute climb (exaggerated). It all depends on how fast or slow the crew is sending trains out.

I think changing Invertigo's sign would be a fairly small project. They can easily slap a coat of teal on the... tiara as we are calling it. The sign would more than likely have to have new inserts ordered, I don't think simply painting a sign with a light shining through the back would work. Edit: (and to get my opinion on this see post below) TheCrypt is absoloutly right, would a matching sign be nice? sure, but no matter what color it is, people will still refer to it as "the one that goes forward and backward" or "vertigo"

^ technically speaking, blue fire does not meet requirements of the question which was anywhere in the country. Nonetheless though, blue fire looks fun and would love to have it. In my original top spin post I wanted to say talocan but then did not because it was in Germany, not in this country.

who was speaking of slingshot?

Well after seeing that second site I can say I'm not that impressed with that attraction. Why would they build a 12 person Drop Tower? The previous one held 20 and it's wait time was like 20 minutes... I can't even imagine this one, especially if it goes back in the same spot. They had so many options for Drop Towers. Intamin, Huss, S&S and they chose one that looks like it belongs at a carnival

Does anyone know what company made their drop ride? Is it like the one at BGW that rotates? I almost would have gone with Intamin gyro drop even though Intamin made their last drop ride

Thunder Run, Kentucky Kingdom. Early 2000's

I honestly would like a Top Spin. I think that for our region, Top Spin is a unique ride as I cannot think of anything closer than Kings Dominion that has a Top Spin anymore. If we were going to get one, I think I would want a suspended.

^ to do that I am almost sure they would have to make a tunnel of sorts. I do not think this prop would work after being rained on.

Yes, the Demon-bat was on and working during the Cavern of Terror Haunt as calakapepe said. Don't see any reason why it would not be there anymore.

I would imagine it could help. Some guest may even mistake it for an all new ride. Others will simply ride to avoid the long lines of Banshee. I'd imagine the people also would be eager to see how it changed and what it would look like.

Kind of starting to think whomever is running the Instagram page may have forgotten about the "info" they were going to tell us today.

So...any news on time of announcement for announcement? The hours of today are running low.
