Usually, you can detect sarcasm or joking when people add a to the end of their post.

^And that is really saying something. I'm not much for waterparks either, although I had a blast at Wild Water Kingdom (GL). I was figuring a waterpark expansion or makeover as well.

At least it would have made a little sense if there had actually been a beaver land.

Those pics are way cool! Thanks for linking them. That helps the off-season blues a little.

Sorry, Tggr. I left out the winkey smilie. That post was really dripping with sarcasm. Maybe their information came from someone they know inside the establishment that told on their place of employment. (Was trying not to use the word zoo)

I know that KD changed the name of Tomb Raider:Firefall to Crypt, but what theming was left if any?

Good question. Would it be any more legitimate if PETA is involved?

I was wondering who who pick up on that. I should have know you would be able to fill in the blank on that one.

That could be a great horror movie. That Disney would snag guests on certain rides and turn them into AudioAnimatronic Figures. Awesome! With the Tag Line..... Happiest Place on Earth.......For Ever...... Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons at Itchy and Scratchy land when all the animatronics turn on the guests. If I remember correctly, they all went beserk due to camera flashes messing with them. Twisted, yet I find the Disney idea funny and intriguing. Imagine, you could kidnap guests, turn them into the animatronic folks who have to sing It's A Small World Afterall forever! Sorry for the double post. Wanted to comment on two different subjects going on.

I thought I also read that it was based on companionship for the elephants and the size of their living quarters.

Understood. I'm really trying to figure out what is going on in that area. Is it going to be a full on section, or just FOF and Firehawk? There's a lot that could be done if the intention is to build on what's there already, no? It's hard to say what CF may do with that area in the future. As for now, at least for 2008, the only rides there will be FOF and Firehawk. Although, I completely agree with you about that area could be turned into the next major area for ride installments down the road. Somehow, you would have to have a connecting path to somewhere else so it's not like a cul de sac.

Well, I was not aware that they removed the tunnel on Scooby Doo (Fairly Odd Coaster). Now I know and knowing is half the battle....

Facebook, eh? I'll have to check it out. To tell on myself on how old I am...I remember when Nickelodeon Network had no commercials. One of my early favorites was You Can't Do That On Television(origin of Nick slime). Those crazy Canadians!

^Most assuredly! Especially when it comes to the golden years of Kings Island (pre-Paramount).

I would be in that Peanuts demographic. I love Peanuts and after hearing some of the arguements for Peanuts remaining at CP, I'm going to have to agree that CP and KI should have different children's areas.

I sure hope that when you're referring to "Ryan" you're not referring to me, because I honestly have no idea what the heck you're talking about. My statement was just my opinion. If I were a decision maker at Kings Island, FoF would get all sorts of care, but unfortunately, I'm not... not until the hostile takeover!!!! I want in on the hostile takeover!

And, as I'm sure you have noticed time and time again, is that Cedar Point is pretty good about shading and misting fans. Granted, I like the shading of The Beast and Racers, but, at least it seems that they are doing the tent covers.

I think the new sign looks great. I see the logo has been Cedar Faired.

^If you're old, then I must be ancient! When it first opened, and Top Gun had all of its' theming working, it was one of the best themed rides. And I don't expect the theming to get any better considering who is running KI now.

Gotta agree with Bombay on this one. In the past, I have bashed Paramount and there were many things that were done that I didn't like. However, they did do a lot of good things that I never gave them credit for. So, having experienced KI and PKI, I would definitely say that the original owners did a slightly better job. I would say they were even in ride installments, but not in removals. Also, the earlier owners did a nicer job with the general atmosphere of KI. To me, PKI's worst decision was not installing IJ:ST, but placement of that coaster.

It's now been 10 minutes, Ryan! Andele', andele'!

I have already seen that. It only seems to prove that it won't open next season. And, maybe it will be taken down, I'm not saying it won't. I'm only pointing out the fact that the linked pic does not show any de-construction, only words that say so. I would like to have given it one spin before it's gone, just to say I did. Oh well....a better coaster is coming to Kings Dominion anyway.

^I thought the link to the pic was supposed to prove it is being de-constructed. It's only in writing that states it's being taken down in early 2008.

That really gave me a good laugh! Congrats, CoastersRZ!
