The Interpreter Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 November comes. A season comes first. Figures will be watched. Studied closely. By many. Ins. Outs. Ins soon to be outs. Outs who may or may not become ins. Those figures may well become election issues. And, if they do, analagous 2016 figures, if any... Bruce Lunsford. A history. Issue? Ed Hart. A history. Issue? Ed Glasscock. A history. Issue? And so many more. And who knows what others may Koch up? 4 Quote

shark6495 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Well that looks... Umm.... Terrifying. Yup the word I'm thinking of is terrifying. 8 Quote
homestar92 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Doesn't look like my cup of tea. I'll just enjoy the Runs. Now THAT'S terror to the third power! 4 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 There are certain parks with certain histories and/or certain clienteles where installing certain types of rides may not be wise. It takes only one more very unfortunate incident. Terp, hopefully very, very, very off-topic. 9 Quote
homestar92 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 They've already put in literally the WORST possible type of ride they could build... I guess Hart figures he might as well go all-out with questionable decisions. I'd put an incredibly relevant clip from Tropic Thunder in here, but its choice of words can be quite offensive to some people so I won't. Most who have seen the movie probably know the scene to which I'm referring. 9 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wait... Y'all have lost me. It's a Funtime StarFlyer, much like what exists an hour down the road at Holiday World and at multiple Six Flags. Apart from my personal preference for WindSeekers over them, I'm not seeing an issue... Anyone care to fill me in? 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 It's what??? Look it up. ARM yourself. 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wow, I was way off on that one. Not only is KK's an ARM Vertigo, but Holiday World's is from Zamperla. This is what I get for making assumptions that early in the morning. If you would, educate me while I'm down: is there a particular reason the ARM variation isn't a wise choice for Kentucky Kingdom? 7 Quote
RailRider Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Just another tower ride at a park that has a horrible history with tower rides and zero concern for acting in bad taste. 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I'm not going to be making any cracks here. Wouldn't be proper. 7 Quote
homestar92 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 And I still can't get over the location... Will it even be accessible when the water park is closed? 4 Quote
Shaggy Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 ...notice there are no updates on T3 and Cyclos? Gee... I wonder why? ;-) 6 Quote
sccard01 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 FYI Sky Catcher is a fixed attraction. It is not a portable attraction. There is only one other fixed Vertigo attraction from ARM rides. It was installed last year. Here it is below Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I certainly hope it's FIXED. Try selling Cedar Fair one. Good luck with that. Some will get the point. 6 Quote
Steph88 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Ooh, Cliff's! I've been thinking of taking a day trip out there. It's cool how they put it right in the middle of the roller coaster like that. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Cliff's is a FUN park in a gorgeous state. I recommend it highly. 4 Quote
WMAJrKY Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 ...notice there are no updates on T3 and Cyclos? Gee... I wonder why? ;-) I thought the lack of T3 talk or testing videos would be telling. Ridiculous it isn't ready for opening day. Quote
WMAJrKY Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Cash flow.... No evidence even of a new train being on site. They would be showing it off if it were there. What a sad show they are putting on. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Things must be paid for prior to delivery if the buyer has credit inadequacies. 1 Quote

silver2005 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Lightning Run is an 'iron' coaster? I sure hope not... Also, why do the promo in the news studio? Why not do it at the park? Most of the things Kings Island did with news stations when Banshee was stirring things were done at the park. This one came off as tacky, at least to me. Using a cardboard poster to display an internet screen cap? Really? 7 Quote
RollerNut Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 600,000 some odd visitors... Dvided by 94 days Thats less than 8,000 day. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 And there were 100,000+ season pass holders. And it wasn't 600,000 visitors. It was "nearly." Cash flow. 3 Quote
Shaggy Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Comparing KK press to KI press is futile... apples and oranges. Just like comparing parks... it's the difference of a local park vs regional park. Totally different scale, totally different standards level, totally different talent base, totally different quality. Shaggy Quote
