Jeorby Nanpa Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 1) A few of the trees by the International Street fountain have small signs attached to them at a height of approx 5.5' from the ground. The signs are oval, approx 4" tall and 6" wide. Some of them have numbers, or "start" written on them, others have what may be degree markings (240 deg). This is from memory so I could be slightly off. If you know what these signs/plaques are, could you please share? 2) Bonus question: how do you think they get the lawnmower onto the elevated islands that run down the middle of the Coney Mall? That grass looked so nice it was nearly edible. Or, how is this grass kept looking so nice? KI also has some great looking (and giant) elephant ear plants in one of the Coney Mall planters, maybe near the 50's diner. Stop and take a look at the random landscaping and you will be impressed. I really like the hosta garden near either Potato Works or the train or Whitewater Canyon (can't remember which). 3) Really diluting the original question with a third question: Some of the vertical hanging supports on WindSeeker have pieces of colored tape wrapped around them. Name the reason. This one is less fun, I know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 1. They're for The Beast Challenge that was done in 2010. 2. IIRC, they just lift a regular push mower up into the planters and mow it with those. 3. I believe those have to do with the sections that each rides associate checks. Anyone know more?

beastrider97 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 3. I believe those have to do with the sections that each rides associate checks. Anyone know more? From what I believe it is the beginning and end of certain sections. So there are 3 or 4 sections which are all checked. If someone is unable to have their restraint secured properly, in the White section for example, the operator will then know to release that section of seats. Which then must be rechecked.

While waiting in line for WS a few weeks ago, I saw a ride op trying to push a lap bar down on a larger rider without success. The ride op then signaled to the drive booth to release the lap bar, and the driver announced "Up bar green". After the rider took the walk of shame, the ride ops then had to recheck the 16 lap bars between the two pieces of green tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
