Here's a friendly reminder that some of us have been reading silently without cluttering up an already very extensive thread. Thank you to the contributors for providing us with the best information available at the time of posting. Thank you to KIC staff for keeping it mostly on topic and under control.

Edit due to my device saving my previous post and resubmitting when I tried to reply... With the elements compared side by side to existing rides I think this would be a great addition. Obligatory 'If it's the real layout'

I'm a long time member, but my activity is very low when there's nothing BIG going on... I just logged in to say that this is exciting and with so much information on the internet these days it seems that the code is already nearly broken, or is it?

Busch Gardens Tampa: New ride watch
JTW replied to Steph88's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'd rather visit BGT for this than Sea World Orlando for Mako. I'm a little biased though since BGT is my favorite park and my kids aren't tall enough for bigger rides yet. -
I agree with that. Some conflict in life is healthy, and by conflict I don't mean a physical fight but differing opinions and debates. When everybody figured out what the construction site that became Banshee was, I remember many members rolling their eyes as well because that ride type is in almost every park big enough to support one. What did we end up with? In my book we got a very refined, very reliable scream machine that both enthusiasts and the general public love.

As an enthusiast this makes me kind of roll my eyes and yawn, but that's because I have Diamondback in my back yard. It's taller, faster, longer, and IMO has better elements. Then the industry nerd that I aspire to be remembers that there aren't any other rides like this in Florida, it's a proven ride concept from a reputable company, and it is record setting in its region. This ride is the smart choice for Sea World and it truly won't be half bad when it opens. I actually love the color scheme and placement in the park.

Dave Grohl is one who really made me stop believing in such things. He's a sharp guy and I believe he is correct in many of his views. I'd post a link to several of his quotes and interviews if it weren't for certain adjectives he uses. If you're interested search for it, but be warned, it's not safe language.

I don't believe in guilty pleasure anymore. Be who you are. Do what you like. Care not what others say and think. Who wants to rock out to some Justin Timberlake or Katy Perry with me?

I'd say it's against the terms of their employment to discuss anything that hasn't been announced. Would you be comfortable risking that person's employment? Would you report whatever you discuss? Would they trust you with any secret information if they knew the answer to that question?

How'd you get over your fear of Roller Coasters
JTW replied to CoasterDirected's topic in Kings Island
I was pretty young, 1st or 2nd grade, and chickened out while my mom was trying to get me in line for Vortex. The next summer my younger female cousin wanted to ride everything, and I wasn't going to let her show me up. It's been an obsession since. -
The 9 best coasters near Detroit
JTW replied to rlentless's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Passports are super easy to obtain, and they're good for a decade. -
I can agree with that point.
-
I don't think the next addition will be a coaster either, and when we do get one I don't think it will be either of those choices. I originally started a long rant about economics, trends, and technology then re-read the title of the thread and made my reply way shorter.

Is it satire if it's mostly true though?
