Original did those. Only available to those who first posted while she did--supplies were limited.

A Vortex question?
And the first year, Son of Beast and Volcano: The Blast Coaster were both as reliable as a new INTAMIN coaster. Oh, wait.

The Future of Oktoberfest
Fascination was a table game where you competed against others to complete a line in a grid of holes--by rolling a red rubber ball up the table. It had great prizes and was very addicting.

It's in the back right of Big Perty Smokin' Area aka Tower Gardens. It's an electrical transformer--best seen and not touched.

These days, paper recycling costs. You do it because it is the right thing to do, not to make money. And cups and other food papers have not been accepted for recycling.

I think malem has seen that. Until this season, that had been backstage for many years. Color? Light green. Note spelling of merry-go-round.

Good heavens. People are in for shocks if/when they go to NJFTP, SFA, Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom or even Kings Dominion.

Supply and demand. Lockers cost what they do as OTHER people are willing to pay that. See also Fast Lane, admissions prices, season passes, etc. SIX Gold passes can often be had for $55. FUN Platinum starts at 180+. Supply and demand.

Rides like WindSeeker require a solid foundation. A Drop Tower was first planned for the Flight Commander spot. After geophysical investigation, it was quietly dropped. Past practices lead to a very high cost to repaint Racer. Rolling Thunder was never properly repainted (it did get a wee bit of spray paint once), Thunder Run was not repainted....

Someone is probably confusing Busch Gardens, which at the time was owned by Anheuser Busch, with Kings Island...

Where else can you feed a giraffe and ride Nitro in the same day?

Did you ride Diamondback?

Another reason you aren't likely to see me at a boo event (Busch Gardens excluded).

Thank goodness.

Afterburn and Raven's misters greatly annoy me. When you wear glasses, mist isn't fun. And when you must be concerned about possible eye infections...

That water is NASTY! If riding Diamondback required that stuff touching me, I'd NEVER ride it again.
