^Not only that. CF would not be calling B&M for additional Vekoma track pieces.

I don't think cloning is that bad of an idea. Most of the GP aren't even aware of that fact.

Maybe 4-8pm is not a good time for them?

I didn't work there, but that's a pretty sweet story about meeting your wife.

Wow! You give people something for free and they still complain!

It may be unimportant, but, maybe some really want to know. Would it be that big of deal or that big of secret that you can't say?

Yeah, this is a worthy cause. What about all the billions of other cockroaches that get stamped out by children every year? Who is taking up for them? Maybe they should go to the Raid or Blackflag headquarters and protest there. Maybe they should change it to PETI - People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects

I definitely can guarantee, unless B&M have changed their policies, that they will not be building a gigacoaster at KI. Intamin on the other hand... Whodey, that's 40 mill per year split between many parks. Between 13 parks, not including waterparks, that's only about 3 mill. Not enough to buy a 25 mill gigacoaster.

Unless the rumors about the GL trains are about Racer and not The Beast. They could modify one to run backwards, but I'm not sure they will.

A giga coaster has a drop of 300ft. Although I would love to see one at KI, I am doubting this rumor. From what I have read and know, Millennium Force was 25 million to build and steel has gone up in price since then. Not to mention CF doesn't exactly have a lot of money to throw around.

^Not to mention, why?

There is no false advertising here. False advertisement is not as simple as we said one thing, then did another. You have to prove that there was malicious intent (like trying to purposely mislead you) involved in the process. Sorry, but the whole "false advertisement" thing really gets on my nerves. Way too many people are convinced they were victims of false advertisement at some point or another. It's what they don't know about it that proves them wrong. People, don't be so hard on Ryan. Neither he, nor CF, nor KI are trying to jerk you around. Sometimes, it's a simple matter of wording or misinterpretation (Interpreter, you can chime in if you like )of their policies.

I think there should be at least two, if not three. Two used to point at I-Street and Coney Mall, and of course, the obvious construction cam.

^Sounds interesting. I mean, the shopping cart thing.

The Saturday I went, I noticed an awful lot of younger kids too. But, it's not up to KI to parent them. All they can do is put up signs. The rest is up to the parents' judgement...good or bad.

^I hadn't heard that. Not saying you are wrong. I just hadn't heard any info. on how it has been running this season. If so, that's good news.

^Nothing unusual about that.

They did, but were severely beaten by some Italian mafia mosquitoes.

Now this, I can believe!

Why in the world would anyone leave their cell phone in a bin? You are asking to have it stolen. Just take it with you and allow one of the coasters to eat it. Seriously, lockers anyone? When I took a digital cam to CP, my wife (fiance' at the time) suggested we leave it in a bin to ride. I gave her the strangest look, explained with a hundred reasons not to, then walked back to our hotel room to put it away.

I think that was a great PR move. Bring in NBA players to hang with the regular folks while doing the 3 point shoot game. Wonder how they liked the rides?

The only reason I think the one at SFMM will not be coming down is for some reason, they have a problem removing coasters that aren't working. How long has it been for Flashback now? Of course, they still use FB in their coaster count, which is bogus considering how long it's been SBNO.

Sorry I didn't understand what you were getting at. It's also a fact that OTSR's are not necessary for any coaster with inversions. FOF is a perfect example and as you said, the old SOB trains. I think the OTSR's just make people "feel" safer.

My brother witnessed DD break down. He said maintenance guys came in with a really huge wrench. He said the wrench was so large, it almost looked cartoonish. Maybe it was Mario and Luigi?

^You're talking one instance. Not to mention, in an overall operating season, a few days downtime does not a bad coaster make.
