nitrox28 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 We left Lexington a little late and we got to the park around 2pm. The park was crowded and the weather was threatening. It started to rain as soon as my son and I walked through the gate and it rained HARD. There were some small showers off and on for about an hour and then the sky cleared. The temprature was cool and the crowd had thinned. We pretty much stayed in the childrens section the entire time except for 2 rides on the viking ship. The ride broke down later in the day and was closed for some time. Connor (my son) met some kids his age and formed a fast friendship with two of them. By the end of the day we were doing everything as a group. 3 kids and 6 adults It was pretty cool to meet such nice people at the park! We did observe some pretty blatant line cutting however. A black guy was in line by himself for the Fairly Odd Coaster. Out of nowhere, 7 kids ranging from fairly young to early teen ran past everyone in line to join this guy near the front! SEVEN OF THEM! Several people in line made some loud comments about waiting in line but those words fell on deaf ears. No surprise there. Then, almost at a scream, an older lady near the back of the line said "if you have a gold pass you can ride this twice in a row. If you have a black pass, you can cut to the front of the line!!!" EVERYONE cracked up. That was soooo funny. We left the park around 7:30pm and drove to the Montgomery Inn Boathouse (my favorite resturant) for dinner in Cincinnati. A perfect ending to a nearly perfect day. Here are some pics and a video of our trip: Video on Fairly Odd Coaster (not sure if this will work) No POVs on KICentral please. -Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyKay07 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I hate when people get in front of others who have been waiting for a long time, but I just don't think that comment by the older lady was neccessary. I do admit it is kinda funny, because I clearly could have ran along with those "cutting" the line, but still, comment not neccessary .

I don't think you could have "clearly" run with the line jumpers. By your picture, you look like a fine young lady. Nothing like the low-lifes (regardless of race) who misbehave at the park!!!

WooferBearATL Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Good to see that Cincinnati and the surrounding area has come to terms with it's racial issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
