I love these videos. Reminds me of the times I went to KI with my family in the early years. Some of the best times of my life. Now, I want to make new memories with my son so he can look back and say the same thing.

Terpy, of course Ryan is part of the problem. Was that ever in question?

But Ken Hamm is not spewing hatred of a race....

I saw Mythbusters do an episode on the explosion of water that occurs when the toilet is flushed. What really gets me is that you can't find a lid on a toilet in hospitals? Really? And I'm not saying that there isn't any truth to this, but at the same time you dry your hands with a towel, you touch the door handle on the way out and someone didn't wash, then it's a moot point anyway. Or the hundreds of doorknobs you grab every day. Or the phone you use after someone else.

This is really awesome! Saw it on Facebook. I wish I had that kind of talent.

Worth Noting: " Of course, how you dry your hands makes little difference if you're not washing them in the first place. And according to a 2013 study, only 5 percent of people wash up properly after using the bathroom " If you were washing properly (including using warm water) this wouldn't be a problem to begin with.

Thrill_Biscuit, you always come through with something that just makes me laugh. Hard Rock Park WV? Except HRP was actually built.

I loved the Tiques. Maybe we need to start a bring back the Tiques thread. Every park should have this kind of attraction. Great family attraction.

Great videos. I enjoyed taking a look back on my childhood memories of KI. Screamin' Demon was my first for launching, looping, and backwards coaster.

That's what I'm saying. They can't expect the tax incentives if they are going to choose to run the Ark Park in the same way as Answers in Genesis in regards to hiring practices. I also think that they are wasting their time with a lawsuit. If they want to do the hiring in the same fashion as AIG, then they are going to have to rely on private funding. I'm sure that they will achieve their goal. I also do not see where this has taken an extremely long time to raise the capital for the Ark Park. When you rely on private donations, it is definitely going to take considerably longer to achieve financial goals. I can say this from experience.

As far as hiring goes, with the type of business this is, a non-profit religious organization, they are permitted to hire whomever they choose and set the criteria for employment. It doesn't violate any federal law. It only keeps them from receiving the aforementioned tax breaks.

I have no doubt that the park will be funded, whether or not they receive the tax incentives.

I have a question. Has anyone been on both an Intamin and B&M gigacoaster here on this site? If so, how do the rides compare? I've only been on Millennium force and I like it. I think it has some good floater air time and I dig the overbanked turns. Would like to experience a B&M giga. Did you hear that KI?

I'm just curious if any work has begun on the station and if so, are there any pics out there of said construction?

Pretty cool, but let's see him on an impulse coaster track, LOL!

The only Pavillion in Myrtle Beach now is very small with a few flats. They had a small coaster there in 2011, but when I went last summer, no coaster at all. However, a traveling carnival popped up and my son and I rode a Wild Cat type of coaster, which was expensive. Heck, I wouldn't call it a Pavillion at all.

I really enjoyed the Bavarian Beetle as a kid myself. I want to say that I think I rode it before The Racer. Something about The Racer terrified me whereas BB did not. It was a fun ride, as much as I can remember, which is very little. For the most part, I liked the downward spiral the best.

I'm not expecting CF or the SF chain to start looking at these unless they would be cost effective. Not sure that they would want to drop the kind of capital on building anything like this.

Son of Beast 2.0, maybe you could get a loan from Dick Kinzel. I hear he has lots of nickels.

Man, I have heard a lot of great suggestions here. Other than the RMC'ing of any wood coaster, I really wouldn't mind any of them. I particularly like suggestions of family rides that all ages can do. With a 5 year old in tow, I want to be able to share as many ride experiences as possible. Having a son has made amusement park total experiences #1 for me. I have begun to enjoy the things that I had kinda left behind and forgot how enjoyable the total experience can be. That's what good memories are made of. It reminds me a lot of the family fun that we had back in the 80's going to KI annually.

That will make all the difference in the world when selecting a movie. "Wild Horses", I believe was a song in the movie Silence of the Lambs.

I have never seen this movie. Is it worth the watch? Keep in mind, I loved some of the movies that Molly Ringwald was in like the Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. I think it's an interesting find for sure Ryan.

Can't argue with you there. I've been on two. Face/Off (Invertigo?) and Head Spin (Geauga Lake) (Carolina Cobra?). Head Spin was ok for the wait because at GL under CF, there was no wait. F/O was too long except for the one time where my brother and I got a pass to cut the line because we got stuck on the lift hill of Top Gun. We were evacuated and given a pass each to cut the line on any major coaster. All we had to do was go up the exit ramp. Wow, I had forgotten that even happened until now. It was such a non-event, unlike how it's sensationalized in the media.

2 train operation, I would think. One on the lift, one on the switch track. No worse than any other shuttle coaster. Thanks for the assist, GYK,

I'm trying to fix it. For some reason, this computer is not allowing me to embed the video.
