Only if KIC, US Bank, or their email uses an unencrypted login.

Police officers are typically provided service weapons. They have the ability to kill someone with the simple pull of a trigger. Are they allowed to shoot someone? Only in very specific cases where it is justified. What's my point of this dramatic example? Having the ability to do something and having authorization to do something are entirely different. Another example: employees at a software company are given computers with network access (naturally). They have the ability to hack into systems they have not been granted access. Are they allowed to? Nope, it's hacking. They'll likely lose their job. The cop would likely go to jail..

Yep. Like I said, someone else on the network can probably attempt to spy, but these days, how much usable data are they going to get?

That depends on a lot of factors, really. When you connect to a public Wi-Fi network, the network operator will receive identifying information from your device such as its hostname. Sometimes, this is enough to identify the device. They're not likely to look at that, however. What they're more likely to look at is your web traffic. If you view any pages that aren't encrypted (as mentioned above), the network operator can see all the data that you send to webpages as well as the webpages that you view. So if you send personal information (think name, address, SSN, username/password, etc.), the network operator can see this information. Thing is, it's not just the people who host the free public Wi-Fi that can see this data. If the network is not set up to isolate clients (meaning devices), other people connected to the network can see that same information. So, say you send a bunch of sensitive info over public Wi-Fi. A malicious person connected to this network is logging the data passing through this network. They now have all your personal info. Fortunately, a lot of things have minimized the damages that can be done by this. For one, most of the more popular websites (and many others) now encrypt your information by default. Encryption basically uses a secure key that only the website and your device have in order to "randomize" the information sent to them. This means that when you log into Gmail, your username and password are scrambled and no one but the website can decode them. As for Cedar Fair? I suppose they could attempt to data mine your activities for some marketing purpose. Will they? I wouldn't really worry about it. TL;DR: Cedar Fair or other users may be able to get some data about your web browsing, but it's probably not enough to worry about.

So you're saying that any data transmitted over Kings Island's in-park Wi-Fi network will be Accesso-ble by Cedar Fair? Well, that (It) Ain't FUN.

You can pay the difference at any time during the season to upgrade. And why wouldn't they let you? They'll gladly take more money. Downgrading, on the other hand...

A theater that was under-utilized, badly in need of repair (supposedly both in terms of the facility/roof and theatrically) and located in the heart of the park? Nope.

In no particular order... Well, to start, why is it the flagship? Here's a brief history lesson. First, there was Cedar Point. Then, there was Valleyfair! Combined, Cedar Fair. I think that explains why it's the flagship. After all, it is the park #001 in Cedar Fair's lineup. To say that Kings Island is obviously better than Cedar Point is rather naïve. Many people would argue with you that Cedar Point is an overall better park. That water you complain about because bugs and because birds? It provides a view and ambiance like no other. Many would also argue that the themed area in the former Paramount Parks (well, current, based on the legal entity controlling them) has been mostly decimated. "Oh noes! They iz running out of roomz!" Okay.. Is that why they just recently removed an obsolete theater that was underutilized, removed a car ride that was doubly redundant (even if some liked that), relocated two rides, and re-themed two rides, while also refurbishing one of the most loathed rides into something that should be much more enjoyable? They're not running out of room. Even if it means removing older rides that are not generating adequate ROI, they still have plenty of options for future development. They still have an older housing facility that has fallen into disrepair, something that Matt Ouimet has already stated he wishes to move off-Point. There, more space. They could even pull a Holiday World and get rid of their Intamin "flume", providing a good deal of growth room. More space. Some wonder if you have truly been to Cedar Point and taken in the whole experience. Kings Island and Cedar Point are great parks, both in their own rights. One is not far and away by far a best park for everyone. Cedar Point wins awards for thrill rides. Kings Island tends to win them for its kids' rides. To each his/her own.

Wow, my bad. I must've read something about SFoG earlier in the day and had that on my mind. Sorry!

Oh no! SFStL guests were left stranded (stranded, I say!!) after a power outage. Because, you know, coming to a safe stop where staircases await for safe and easy emergency evacuation, that's totally the same as being stranded. Helpless. Unsafe!! Taer it down! http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/six-flags-closes-early-after-power-failure-leaves-visitors-stranded/article_8d80e73c-c206-524d-9649-d27435d051c7.html

DISlike. :'(

A Grape Adventure, you say? Well, that's just grape..

Surprisingly, it did decide to download. I must've cleared enough space.. However, it took too long "loading" upon first run that the device locked. Not impressed so far.

Wait, I thought the park had the Hart..

Well, it will be installed if your phone is smart enough to use all of its available storage space. If not, you could have several hundred MB free and it'll still tell you there's insufficient space. Thanks, Google..

How could they do that? It's Legendary. It says so right in the name!

I sure hope, for their sake, that this was indeed a well-intentioned gesture, both toward the employees of Holiday World and the other members of the family.

Whether they had decided to draw attention to it or not, guests were doing so. Guests were asking about it so the park responded by confirming it would return the following season. People were already talking about the ride and clearly interested in it, so what a perfect candidate for some extra TLC.

In an attempt to capitalize on the publicity of the ride's lack of operations for the vast majority of last season, perhaps?

The Paramount Parks name was even used on some of the construction plans for the new front gate at Carowinds. Cedar Fair is definitely still using it as a legal entity rather than simply absorbing its resources.

Indeed it does.

Terpy, what are you alluding to regarding my carefully concocted illusions?

Unintentional? I assure you that any allusions I have made were fully intentional.

Hopefully it doesn't stack against Millennium Force or Intimidator 305, though. The latter two might be able to swap trains on their tracks but Fury, as a B&M, is entirely different.

So what you're trying to say is that The Beast comes out at night?
