You think CF is going to use us as a testing ground for RMC? Before they mess with Mean Streak? I mean we all know how the WindSeeker's went...

As that does seem logical, that wouldn't exactly be efficient. Making track actually takes a pretty decent amount of time considering the sheer size and amount of peices. Not even considering supports, and the transfer shed. Oh and paint. Around now would be the ideal time to start, that way when the time rolls around they can start shipping (which isn't really a factor considering the proximity between the two).

July 29th, 2012. Last day Disaster Transport operates. May 11th, 2013. Gatekeeper Opens. Just Sayin'

I would love to see this take place of the empty box we currently have. However, Universal have the rights(at least I think?) toTWD as an attraction yearly at HHN. Only certain people know exactly what that entails but my best bet would be it's more of a hassle than it's worth. Cool idea though.

I recall a certain CF park demolishing 2 rides, and a front entrance. And then construct a certain B&M, and new entrance. All within one off-season. Just sayin'

The humorous thing about this, is that is exactly how it works. If ride operators are unsure, they will get someone specifically trained to hand out passes for said guest. They policies in place today work, and about 99% of the time the guest is grateful for it.

Im still suprised "Cars" hasn't made its way to an Orlando park… Business wise, this is very smart, and I say why not? No one is really going to miss Maelstrom, right? How much is it going to cost Disney to do? Not much. Kids will eat it up and the park will be able to PR the heck out of this. Still want a canyon in Orlando though

Must have been a slow day in Cinci…

If you see line jumping get another party to complain with you and make sure you tell a supervisor as well. Some employees are new and are not familiar with some policies yet.

I'm hoping to see a Wonder Mountain type ride put in place where Boo Blasters is now

Have fun everyone!

Theoretically if they ran the max capacity all day it would take a little more than 3 hours for them to run out of t-shirts. So if you get there at the crack of dawn your guaranteed a shirt. If you arrive later in the day however, I wouldn't expect one.

Just because its not under Ohio law, US law, or a CF policy for all coasters to have seat belts, doesn't mean they can't add them to whatever they want.

I see a re-occuring theme here in your posts that I will probably PM you about. Any-who, yes. Diamondback stacked occasionally this past season. Your telling me in your whole career you have NEVER stacked trains at any ride you have operated? Also, with the empty seat counter. Its in the programming, why not use it? The problem with turnstiles(other than what you have mentioned) is also the fact that a lot of people just escort others and slide through to the exit, or chicken out. Which also deems the turnstile method somewhat of a bust in my opinion. I think Rides Operations is doing a fine job keeping count, staying safe, and working fast. We should probably leave it to them to think what is best. Whatever they are doing is working, and if it isn't they are aware and are more than likely working on making it better for the guests. Not to please other CF employees simply because 'thats not how we do it'.

I understand you have been a ride operator in the past and what not but DO NOT talk about a crew that works hard every single day in order to keep the ride capacity up. IF you have worked Beast, then maybe I would consider this a valid point. But you haven't… So you have no idea what your talking about. Not trying to come across as rude or anything, but I just figured a former operator would know and appreciate the work that these kids go through... If a 4th train were to be added the possibility of a train setting up on Lift 2 is VERY high. If you worked at Beast you would know that the Lift 2 motor is a bit weak and could potentially cause a fault if it were to set up. Thus defeating the entire purpose of having a 4th train. Its not a major fault, but it requires time to re-set. Not knocking you down or anything, just sharing my knowledge here. Kings Island has fantastic crews of ride operators that work very hard to keep capacity up at the highest level possible. They know what they are doing.

You guys will see opening day

Its not gone? What are you guys talking about

Thats probably on a need to know basis

Doug? Or naw?

Good question bud and Welcome to KIC if you have not been welcomed yet! This is a good question for the "Banshee Construction Thread". No need to create a new thread for it! Here is a link to it, go ahead and ask there! Thanks
