jcgoble3 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 How many hours do you work per week during the summer? How often do you get a chance to visit the park as a guest and be able to ride rides and enjoy yourself without worrying about work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So Don, any big plans for ride number 12,000 on The Racer? He informed us at Coasting for Kids that he has chosen to retire from riding The Racer at 11,999 rides. I take it that means that he will not get number 12,000. He rode #11,999 with me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopan Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Im sure he was joking if someone likes a ride a that much theres no reason to stop at some arbitrary number.. it would be one thing if it was something like 100 or 1000 but 11999? if so u gona miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Don, will WindSeeker be ready to open with the other rides when Opening Day comes? Call me crazy, but it is actually one of my favorite flat rides at the park. I just love the exhilarating experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Can you expand upon The Racer work going on? How extensive, does this mean a new paint job for the whole structure, or just the new pieces of wood, etc...? I assume this doesn't include a new paint job for the whole track, if that assumption is correct is there any planning for when that could happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savesonofbeastfb Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I know Jungle Jims bought the water tower in Action Zone, but Did JJ's buy anything else in the park? I heard they bought parts of the Juke Box Cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 even though he stoped answering questions some time ago, file this under the 'it never hurts to ask' section: When does KI plan to announce what the current constrution is for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 ^I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he'd say, "Soon". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Oh I don't actually expect an answer, but for does anyone else venture a guess based upon past information? I doubt they want to take away from the opening of Gate Keeper or any other rides that have recently opened up across their chain in recent weeks, however it seems like an August announcement, leading into season pass renewal time would be ignoring the obvious work going on in front of our eyes. However, I'm sure they'd like to build up the suspense. How long was the work on Diamondback obvious before an announcement was made? Of course, this is a different management group, which seems to be a bit more open about things, so the time table for Diamondback doesn't automatically tell us anything about the timetable for the current development. I feel sorry for the Eiffel Tower operators. On the way down last friday, she went thru her speal then asked if there were any questions. My only question was "how many times have you been asked what they're building over in the cleared lot". She smiled and said "a lot" w/ the implications that she's already getting tired of the question she can't answer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If you dont think Don would answer the questions based on construction because you know they wont give anything away till the big reveal... then why ask?

Hey Don, If you golf, where do you like to golf? 9/18 holes? Because, like I said, it never hurts to ask, besides with the number of new posters recently, I thought a bump of a thread with don answering a bunch of random questions might be worth while if was still willing to respond to some questions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 When WindSeeker first opened, I ask Don a question regarding the ride. I have had two spinal cervical fusion surgeries and I ask him would the ride produce any harsh whipping of my neck that might put lots of stress on my neck. He said it would be ok as far as my neck would not be jerked around back and forth and side to side like roller coasters. He is very easy to talk to and will take the time to talk with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
