Questions about KI and Beyond

[LongliveKingsCobra]

Truer words have never been spoken.

Ohio is the spoiled little brother to all the other states during the election.

What time does Kennywood close?

KingsIslandPR: Park visitors could get one of these when they visited Cincinnati's Coney Island in 1971. http://t.co/pRJ9gMFs

And in today's eBay market it's like they were giving away a $25.00 and up valued item.

Why does water that has "trickled through the mountains for centuries" have a "use by" date?

Why does water that has "trickled through the mountains for centuries" have a "use by" date?

Over a long period of time, water in a plastic bottle can develop unpleasant odors and tastes.

Without any sort of "best if used by" date, if somebody loads up on water and lets it sit for too long, they may drink it and think it tastes terrible, causing them to contact the bottler/retailer to seek a refund, or more.

It's not because of refunds and taste. Plastic sinking into your food and drink can be deadly, which is also the reason why people should never microwave food with products like saran wrap over it.

While it is true that plastic can do some terrible things, the FDA states that shelf life of water, when produced in accordance with the set standards, has an indefinite safety shelf life.

It goes on to explain that bottlers may voluntarily use expiration dates on the label.

Will Cedar Fair purchase anymore parks? By the way, happy thanksgiving

[fanofFirehawk]

Will people just stop talking about Son of Beast and forget it was ever built?

HA That is a goooood one.

Why do I get an advertisement on this site for legal poker in 28 states? And why do they act like that's a good thing?

[The Interpreter]

Given the site's intended audience, that's a very good question.

[DaveWorldEmperor]

Should I get and iPhone or an iPad? or a different device?

[The Interpreter]

Should I get and iPhone or an iPad? or a different device?

Yes. Absolutely. You will wonder how you ever lived without it!

[DaveWorldEmperor]

Which one? I can only afford one.

[The Interpreter]

What do you primarily want to use it for? That will help determine the answer. For example, an iPad is not ideal for making telephone calls....

[DaveWorldEmperor]

Mainly applications which both can do. I already have a smartphone, but it's getting old. I just got a new laptop too and I don't know how much different the tablet would make in my life, and the price of the iPad is at the top of my budget as well, however, its something new that I have never owned before.

[Original]

I suggest tthe iphone. Because you have a laptop, and thats alot alike the ipad, but not a touch sreen.

I don't know what else to say....

[Captain Nemo]

Why of all park chains did Cedar Fair have to buy the park?

[The Interpreter]

Because Dick Kinzel wanted it, really badly. Enough so to pay more for all five Paramount Parks than would any other prospective buyer.

[Captain Nemo]

He should have read the fine print.

[THE_BEASTmaster]

Why ask why?

Get Bud Dry.

Also what would you do for a Klondike Bar?

[DaveWorldEmperor]

What does the KI skyline look like at night in the off season? Like are any of the rides still lit up? or is it completely dark? (Aside from the lights for airplanes)

[CoasterGeek101]

Why are we here?

[SonofBaconator]

What is an anti rollback? Is it where a train goes up the hill with out the aid of a chain until it can't go any higher than the chain lifts it?

[The Interpreter]

No. It's a series of little spikes a car can go forward over, but not backwards. They keep the train from rolling backwards. You can hear them on wood coasters (Son of Beast's were VERY loud) and particularly on Flight Deck.

They can also be on other hills, but are most commonly found on lift hills.

[SonofBaconator]

Ok now I understand. Infact I can already hear flight deck's "cathunk cathunk" over and over in my head

[TTD-120-420]

Raptor's and Magnum's are also particularly loud. Many manufacturers such as Gerstlauer and B&M are now putting rubber on them to keep them quiet.

That picture of Wild Eagle shows the ridges Terpy is talking about. I had to use a link because the iPad doesn't let me paste pictures.

[SonofBaconator]

Will the park expand onto the parking lot?
