Starting to Decode 2014
So you believe previous reveals will clue us in? What information are you providing?Aside from that, relax man. Have fun with this stuff. Much knowledge can be learned from getting off the beaten path. What you believe to be "unnecessary" is simply your opinion.

Beach Reopens
^ If I am not mistaken, you turned your Beach pass in for a discount KI pass. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/25187-the-beach-closing-after-27-years/page-3 Courtesy of Delirium13: Kings Island EXTENDS SPECIAL TRIAL OFFER TO 2012 BEACH WATERPARK PASSHOLDERS http://www.visitkingsisland.com/article/media-center/Kings-Island-extends-special-trial-offer-to-2012-Beach-Waterpark-passholders Beach season passholders can use their passes visit Kings Island for free on one day and upgrade for $49.99. Sad to see the Beach close, but this a smart strategy by KI I think to gain some new passholders, possibly for years to come.

Beach Reopens
Classy move. They didn't have to do a thing, but have gone above & beyond with that decision. Customer service "things" like that encourage me to go, but, I am now bummed now that our trip in a few weeks will not include The Beach.

Factors that close rides
Just stating that safety is "a given" is poor attitude. Safety is never "a given". I do find it interesting that it's the ride ops not busting their ass at KI, except when it comes down to you "downing" rides for safety issues. Unless you are on the platform the whole time any ride is open, there is no way to know why trains are stacking. Assuming it must be the ride ops not busting their ass is just trolling. I do have to bring up Mantis at CP into the stacking discussion. Mantis has 3 trains, and used 3 trains for a handful of years. When it became obvious that trains would be stacked no matter the effort, the decision to only use two was made.

Factors that close rides
^ Gemini & CCMR specifically come to mind. Those trains had sandbags to add weight to the trains.

Factors that close rides
Don't think so?I have been on numerous coasters that had less than half-full trains. The experience was deteriorated to say the least.

Factors that close rides
Each ride is very different. An example of computer issues: TTD has so many sensor/ prox switches (especially on the brake fins) is was a nightmare for the first few years. Structural issue: Beast 10-15 years ago was down for sometime for tunnel issues (apparently one of the sides of the tunnels collapsed). Another would be SoB (no explanation needed).

Factors that close rides
Nobody was there when it happened. I wonder if it made a noise?

Beach Reopens
Those who say that say he did that to protect his primary business, Cedar Point. Does that mean parks like KI & KD are to be considered a secondary business? Brown, who too likes to ask questions.

^ There are still many that believe CF, under Kinzel's leadership, purchased GL just to watch it fail.

Beach Reopens
Inside joke? Perhaps it is because the "OPEN NOW" sign never seemed to moved off the slides for a few years, even in the winter. As far as thinning the crowds, probably not that much you would notice. SC admission is still included with KI. The Beach will be a separate charge.

Riders stuck on Beast for 10 minutes...
After brewing upon this overnight: Non-emergency calls to 911 should be met with charges against the caller. Bogging down emergency lines with these types of calls is concerning as this is just one example of bad 911 judgement. I can only imagine the other types of calls 911 receives on a daily basis.
