pacotechguy Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Well considering the new owners of PKI also own 3/4 of the strip in Vegas; and were the ones to come up with the concept of amusement parks in Vegas (original owners of Apollo were the two founders of the Adventuredome at Circus Circus in 1993 when they controlled the then MGM Grand Casinos and the ideas behind the continuation at other MGM Properties and now their Harrah's Properties). I think Apollo made a great move in purchasing CFI; and will start incorporating a lot more of their other properties and such into CFI properties. IE a stand up coaster could make a return to PKI.. Longshot; but we'll see... PKI does fit well for Apollo to theme alongside their new casino they're opening in Cincy in 2011 as well.. Surprised they haven't yet announced they're moving the casino from the riverfront to the Great Wolf Lodge property..lol
jzarley Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 ^ you might be jumping the gun...Apollo hasn't purchased CF YET, and unless the unit holder vote goes through (which has been looking increasingly more doubtful), the acquisition won't occur. (At least, not in its current format...) Also, isn't the casino in Cincy being developed by Penn National Gaming (like the one in Columbus)? (Or, does that one have a different developer--i.e., Harrah's?) I couldn't find any link between Apollo Management and Penn National. (They are traded under PENN on NASDAQ.) Another investment equity firm (Fortress Investment Group) tried to take PENN private a few years ago, but the deal fell thru...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 And what is this "PKI" that you speak of, pacotechguy?
mtl2013 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I think someone needs to study up on their park. haha but welcome to KIC pacotechguy!
CedarPointer Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 I really hope that certain people realize that this is a joke. Gee, see, I figured I could make a rumor just about anything, even with "evidence"!
Dbfan Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Downtown....The Crypt is coming to Coney Island!
Diamondback FOF Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 ^^GCI? Are we really back to a woodie coming to KI? I thought we were done with that...
Diamondback96 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 GGee, this is getting me confused. It's a joke, but people are really taking it seriously?
mtl2013 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 ^^Hes not actually talking about GCI, hes just kidding, since this whole thread is supposed to be a joke anyway. haha
CedarPointer Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 GGee, this is getting me confused. It's a joke, but people are really taking it seriously? I think so.
gigacoaster2k Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 And yes, I know about Giga's first post, but there are some people posting some serious remarks about a spell check error.... My first post? What did I do? I went back and I didn't see any mistakes or spelling errors.. I'm so lost which isn't hard to do
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Uh oh, a joke topic? We'll be talking about this back at the Trailer Tower tonight!
Diamondback FOF Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 ^^Hes not actually talking about GCI, hes just kidding, since this whole thread is supposed to be a joke anyway. haha I know.
Beast1979 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Uh oh, a joke topic? We'll be talking about this back at the Trailer Tower tonight! Don't give them any ideas....
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Oh, no. And please do not mention any citrus flavored carbonated beverages produced and marketed by a company that is a competitor to a supplier to Kings Island but not Cedar Point. At the moment...
CedarPointer Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 Oh, no. And please do not mention any citrus flavored carbonated beverages produced and marketed by a company that is a competitor to a supplier to Kings Island but not Cedar Point. At the moment... In sprite of the fact that it's not sold at the Point, they may just have the urge to vault it up there someday.
catzdrummer09 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Entirely too much word play in this thread.
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Because people keep posting in it? Like the most recent couple of posts, just to number two... Are you suggesting it is time for the thread TOGO? Terp, doing what passes for standup on a Friday night...and, for him, coasting...
HTCO Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 This thread is no longer FUNny, and has no legit topic.
coaster_junky Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 terpy, how do you come up with this stuff.
Diamondback96 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 This thread is no longer FUNny, and has no legit topic. But it sure is the fun and only thread about TOGO in recent years.
Diamondback FOF Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 This reminds me of Cedar Point's teaser campaign last summer.
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Years ago, there was a hatching dinosaur egg...and the result was Raptor!
CincyMan98 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 It's funny how we keep saying this is a useless thread, yet there's 4 pages of "unwanted" posts. Including me.....
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 See der fair entertainment? It's not paramount thrills, and, in that corner, lurking until 031610, it's Q!
Monroe Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 http://www.youtube.c...h?v=FKCnHWas3HQ I can't believe it took this long!!
The Interpreter Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Maybe because it didn't? http://www.KICentral...ndpost&p=359429 How does January 28 grab you? How about a version from later?
