Knotts took theirs out and the one removed from Wildwater Kingdom has not shown up anywhere. It looks like KI and MA have the only two left in the chain. I wonder how long before KI retires our tornado? WWK's is being relocated to Camelbeach waterpark in the Poconos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmhornblessed Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Interesting development tonight during ert. Went to get on DB at 11:45 and it was closed. Op at the entry said that the ride had to be closed up by 12 so the line had to be shut off early. He said the city of Mason called and told them to have it shut down by 12. I was bummed not to get one more ride but there is always next time.Sent from my SM-S327VL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad_1138 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Had a great ERT tonight! Much smaller crowds that the last time I did the June ERT 2 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I arrived around 6:30pm and had time for quite a few rides before ERT. Pretty light crowds considering how nice of a day it was; my longest wait was about 10 minutes for Mystic Timbers. I skipped Flight of Fear because it had a bit of a line.

Cmhornblessed Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I thought about that. Haunt is on the weekends so maybe because last night was a weekday it was different, only time will tell.

IndyGuy4KI Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Would the people who live close the the park not be immune to the park noises? Calling on @XGatorHead 8904 Should the people who decide to live close to the park not expect the park to be running coasters at any time of the day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 People suffer from NIMBY syndrome - let's hope the ride op was in error - let's hope that CF would fight that if it were true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a distinct difference in 10PM on a weeknight and running past midnight. But, yes, you live next to an amusement park, it's going to make noise. That was a choice you made when you bought the house. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibul Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 First visit of the season and what a perfect night. Haven't waited more than 10 minutes for any ride at all. Only been here an hour and a half and have almost ridden everything. Great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlagroupie Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Don't forget - tonight is the passholder ERT event featuring Diamondback, Woodstock Express & Great Pumpkin Coaster. Wait what?

malem Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It wasn't the elusive Losantiville station Freestyle, but the drink building next to Diamondback was open for yesterday's ERT session. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Went to the 50's diner across Vortex over the weekend. Had the pig pen burger without hot dogs and I eneded up pulling the chicken tenders off but the burger was good and the onion rings were awesome. This place has the best food in the park. I do wish the inside was laid out a little differently though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I haven't eaten at Juke Box Diner in a long time! (and yet I work across from there, lol) I never got to try the Pig Pen burger but I'm glad to hear it was really good! Also, I hope everyone who visited yesterday fared well in the heat. My crewmates and I survived , WindSeeker was unfazed by the heat, and Vortex did fairly well outside of a little hiccup that closed it for a couple hours. I'm heading back out into the heat today, as I work a close! (and I work all day tomorrow) Hooray for working outside -- sunscreen, water and shade (and AC!) are my very best friends right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish the inside was laid out a little differently though. You must have received a better one then mine. The onion rings were burnt, the burger was the old lunchroom patty, the chicken was over cooked and the hot dog I didn’t attempt. Besides this instance I’ve been happy with food this year. Definitely improved since last year.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean hate instead of hote? Or bite. Because it is technically bite. But I know how autocorrect screws simple stuff up. Like, mine calls Intamin Infamin.
