^Just a little tip for ya. I usually write my TR's in Word Perfect and read it over for mistakes in spelling or grammar. Then, I come on-line and post it. I am glad you had a great time at PKI. Next time, add some more details and it should be a better report.

I wouldn't say that Cedar Fair is being cheapos considering that they are honoring what Paramount had already decided on...so, that means that Paramount was being the "cheapos".

His injury reports is his services, I believe. Parks generally ignore them becuase they ususally have an in-house records of any injuries ocurring on any of their rides. Also, Ohio is one of the states that has the strictest standards when it comes to approving for a ride to open or re-open to the public. They blow him off becuase he is only certified to administer or teach CPR or First Aid. Neither one of those qualifies him for being any kind of safety expert. So, when the parks refuse said services he tries to bash them publically to news papers or any kind of media outlet that will listen to him and give them bad press.

Whomever posted a link to the Coasterbuzz site, you need to read the thread again. No one has said any dismantling, only a little electrical work. Anyhoo, I don't think X-Flight or Dominator will be moved from GL. Those are the only two unique coasters in that park.

I just wrote to this guy twice and told him to move on out of mommy's basement and get a real job. I also told him that being qualified to adminsiter and teach CPR and First Aid are not amusement safety expert qualifications. It is also my understanding that he goes to the parks first with his information. Then, when they deny him and his services, he tries to bash on them. What a loser!

Clues? What clues I say?

But someone already told me that most people in the industry already knows of him and his organization and do not regard him with any kind of expertise.

I always thought the skylift was dangerous. Way too easy to lift the bar and just do something stupid. I've heard of it happening before.

I like the idea of three articles. Here is something you can think about doing that I have seen over at Pointbuzz. When an article is done on the home page, one of the admins usually links to the article in the forums in case anyone who skips the front page misses it.

I like HB, but Nick actually looks a lot better than HB ever did! Yes, some kids know HB, but many more of them know the Nick characters better. Not an opinion, but fact!

Good article. Surprised he didn't mention the fact that Six Flags has become a baby sitting service to the not so upper class.

Where did you find the word DeParamountize on Kings Island's web site? Link please.

Just to let everyone know and not start a new thread, Maverick is coaster #500 for designer Wener Stengel. 74% of coasters ranked in the world were designed by Stengel.

The problems with SOB are not in the design itself. It is the trains for the most part and the poor building by whomever built it.

^Next is Top Gun II: Scientology Academy!

Exactly what good media exposure does ACE bring? Never seen them on the national news. Only time I have seen ACE is on Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, or National Geographic Channel.

The fact that ACE is coming to Kings Island has no bearing what so ever on what is going to be installed at the park. Enthusiasts make up about .0000000000000000001% of total guests. Would you cater to them?

Not holding my breath, but I hope it happens. As much as I love Camden Park, I'd like to see something on a larger scale for West Virginia. Believe me, it wouldn't draw only from West V.

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing! Good pic of the undertaker.

Personally, I like all the new changes! No complaints here!

Never did hear if The Bat made the video.

^That's good to know Coasters RZ, about the possibility of new trains. They could use that to market S.O.B as new and improved. I know I'm ready to ride again. Wood Coasters being removed? The lemon chill guy has been at it again.

deidre, I couldn't agree more. Have there been more changes? It's looking different in the last couple of days. And in the immortal words of Peter(family guy) Freakin' Sweet!

So, the colors on the ends are black and it changes toward the middle? The second pic, the colors look totally different.

Cool about the lift hills, but what about the paint scheme for Screamin' Demon? Anyone? Bueller?
