homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Good news, I'm still allowed in! And glasses straps are no longer $5. Now $1.59. 8 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 T3 train is in the station. Read that sentence very carefully. 7 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Is it that there is only a /single/ train that you are trying to draw our attention to? 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Indeed. In better news, pizza portions are back to two slices and prices have been reduced compared to 2014. 7 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Pricing inconsistent for same product throughout park. Pizza at Swampwater Jacks is 5.09. At the stand by Thunder Run it's 6.79. Those prices reflect a 20% discount with a season pass. EDIT: Maybe not. Posted calorie count is higher at the Thunder Run stand. Perhaps those portions are larger. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Is the product the same? I wonder how much it is at the front gate place. 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 ^ See my edit. Possible that they are not. 2 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 540 calories at Thunder Run. ~350 at Swampwater (don't remember the exact number and currently en route to front gate to check there). Casa Mia (front gate) same as Thunder Run and same price. Calorie counts are for pepperoni. Prices for Cheese and Pesto Mia pizza are the same as pepperoni at all locations. 2 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did you happen to notice any of the Twisted Twins work thats currently underway? 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did you happen to notice any of the Twisted Twins work thats currently underway?Maybe. From the road that goes behind it, it LOOKED like track had been removed, but I can't say for certain.What is Pesto Mia pizza?No idea, but they sell it. 6 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 What is Pesto Mia pizza? I looked it up and all I could seem to find is something called Mia Pesto Pizza Crust..... 1 Quote
APE Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Good news, I'm still allowed in! And glasses straps are no longer $5. Now $1.59. When I was there last week they were both prices. Essentially they were the same except on had a quarter size KK logo and the other had a logo the ran across the whole back. 3 Quote
stashua123 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did you go on the Raging Rapids River Ride? 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 So do you have to pay more to have less Kentucky Kingdom branding on it? I keed, I keed. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 How busy was/is the place? Were there lots and lots of TN cars in the parking lot? 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 IN is right across the river... Now, if you can tell they are Indy cars....sorta! 1 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did you go on the Raging Rapids River Ride?Yes, full review coming later.The only out of state plate I've seen is an Ohio one, and it's mine... 7 Quote
TheCandyManCan Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Too bad you can't get an out of state discount for the tax paid Kentucky park. 1 Quote
jsus Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 The only out of state plate I've seen is an Ohio one, and it's mine... Heh.. I keep seeing the same out-of-state plate at Cedar Point, Kings Island, and even Knott's Berry Farm. Then I realize it's mine.. 4 Quote
malem Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 There are days at Cedar Point when there seem to be as many Michigan plates as Ohio plates. 4 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I'll bet there's a good mixture of license plates at Carowinds. 3 Quote
jsus Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Sure, but then again, the parking lot at Carowinds is split between two states. 2 Quote
acfinn Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 See a Washington plate at KI and it is probably mine or my wife's car. Can't imagine there are too many. 1 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I've seen two Hawaii plates in my lifetime. Both here in Ohio. 2 Quote
dtk1378 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Sure, but then again, the parking lot at Carowinds is split between two states. ........... I've seen a few Hawaii plates in Kentucky before, but I could probably only count them on one hand obviously. 4 Quote
silver2005 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I will admit I'm starting to kind of change my mind a bit on whether to go or not. I know I've pretty much grounded myself in not wanting to support the park, but I'm also a bit intrigued by this park as well. I do see that despite the upper management issues, they do alright (in the most basic interpretation of the word 'alright'). I may contemplate a visit by the end of the summer out of sheer curiosity. Also, Terp's praising of Thunder Run is starting to become an itch I need to scratch. 3 Quote
RailRider Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 If you have the itch, scratch it this year. Next year may be too late. 4 Quote
Aaron88stang Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I was at the park Sunday with my family. One of the ride Ops on the Raging Rapids told another guest in my boat that the T3 delay was due to the "Train getting stuck in the loop with the water dummies"...I assume he meant it it valleyed. He may in fact be as reliable as the Dippin' Dots guy but I guess it could also explain the lack of a second train on the tracks, gotta get the first one through the course before we add a second. What would you do in that case? faster wheels? add weight? I also thought I saw a section of track missing from TT last weekend from the top of MHF but with no picture I did not want to mention it. I could not see it from the ground so there was no way to prove it. 4 Quote
