Kawana Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Was Ft. Kinzel always called that? For whatever reason, I seem to remember it being called Ft. Lewis or something when FOF first opened. I could be wrong, and I probably am, but I just was wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 It was named Ft. Cooper when FOF opened because Jane Cooper was the President of Paramount Parks... so now the flag has been passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Oh. Egotistical much? Jeez. Seriously. They should change the name to something that actually applies to the area... like "Fort Excessive Ride Times" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be referring to waiting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah, I just never understood the Ft. Cooper and still don't understand the Ft. Kinzel. So much for a bit of modesty. I'd more support something Like Ft. Cincinatus or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzarley Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 With nearly $2B in debt, I find it a little interesting that repainting signs to "honor" Dick Kinzel was so high on the "to do" list...especially since most of the GP would have no clue where the "Fort Campbell" name even came from. (To be honest, I had never put it together before reading it here...) It just seems like there might be some "improvements" that would have had a little better ROI to CF than the tribute to Kinzel...like some more brake testing on Magnum, perhaps... SORRY! Just messing with the CF fan boys I just couldn't resist that EDIT...ooops Cooper not Campbell as Interpreter reminds me. Even more proof that I never made the connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
