Browntggrr Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 There are those who think they know 100%. Then, there are those that may know 100%, yet do not comment on the boards. So do you think that those who actually know will talk? Well simply put, if they like thier job they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 ^Thanks. The "coaster" is supposed to be behind the tower, somewhere way in the back of the park (or even at the Rivers Bend golf course ), but, now that I look at it, it does seem attached.

Actually, that picture is of that building, but from a few years ago when it was still known as Bier Garten, and being converted into BGSS. BGSS is not going anywhere yet. WOOHOO!!! Post #200!!!

Beast1979 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'd like to think that you guys all HAVE to find a pattern so that you KNOW what happens before it happens! You never know, it's not written in stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hmmmm....the movie titles in Paramount Story were written in stone, and Cedar Fair still upended them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragerunner Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I don't remember this being discussed (but I could have missed it). It appears that KI has removed the F/X theater from their list of attractions. Yet most of the other old Paramount parks still have their's listed. Does anyone know what is up? Also, I noticed that they are raising height limits on some of BB attractions. Snowy River is now up to 46". This height limit issue over the last two years is just getting stupid. It may save them a few bucks on insurance, but it continues to reduce the family experience at the park. No other park chain has that height limit requirements that CF now has, NONE of them.

art_star Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think I remember quite sometime ago someone said that one side of F/X theater was being used as storage and all the seats were gone. Does anyone know if this will still be in effect next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 No other park chain has that height limit requirements that CF now has, NONE of them. Maybe...But no other chain prides itself on safety as much as Cedar Fair does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side B played Elvira's Superstition that same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe...But no other chain prides itself on safety as much as Cedar Fair does. Not to start a discussion that no one can prove. But something tells me that Busch, Herschend, Holiday World, etc... take just as much pride in being a safe environment as Cedar Fair and do it with less height restrictions.
