I too have seen a cat curled up and sleeping under the DB final breakrun. I named the cat Chester!!

I rode it about 2 weeks ago and the braking seemed weird to me then. It was quite jerky coming to a stop which I had never noticed before, so you might be on right track with your brake idea. I noticed this too!!! It was almost skewing. Which I didn't think was normal.

One Word: BEEHEMOTH!!!! Rode it on its first open day!!! Awesome!

Hahaha! All smiles here!!! Jasper, it's not my favorite ride out there however it is great to cool off by and it's fun to operate when I get sent there to work! Barvarian all I have to say is hahaha! It's kinda funny because I have three people I refer to as Gary Coleman (both Gary Colemans celebrity and KI Gary, and then a guy who goes to the same bar I do that looks like the celeb!) Haha! Kirk, you know Gary is probably one of my favorite park patrons that I see when I'm working. He is the sweetest guy, funny, he has even talked to my supervisors about me doing a good job when I've had a complaint, not to mention he has Lifesavor's Mints!!!! But I'm very happy with the outcome of the picture and grateful that he bought it for me, when I didn't even ask. The picture will be displayed for a good while!

Ridership Challenge is just a friendly challenge between parks to see who can do better in capacity. Of course it's KI!

Yesterday, 6/20/2010 was a long hot day at the park, but a really great one! I ended up getting to ERT, riding Diamondback first making that ride my 271st ride since it has opened, then headed to Beast. Beast ran really smooth in the morning! Then headed back to Diamondback because the main line wasn't very packed and I went through the SRL being by myself. I stayed at Diamondback until 11:30 when I need to get a break for water and shade! Before I saught out the water and shade I ran over to the Crypt. The line was packed! It was great to see that it got some loving yesterday. After getting off I went to the Festhaus and sat to eat and drink water. I however didn't know that the new country show had already started, so that was a nice little treat! I then ran to Vortex to get a ride in. Back to Crypt for a second ride. Then to Diamondback in and out of the SRL fun til about 5ish. I got to my 300th ride yesterday and rode with Gary Coleman! It was a blast! I really couldn't believe that I got that many rides so far and 30 in a day! I then took and Gary proceded to buy me my ride photo! Which was really sweet! I then took another break, from the heat....went and rode the Dodgems and then met up with some friends. We rode Flight Deck, Delirium, the Viking Ship Diamondback (301) Backlot Stunt Coaster and then ended with a ride on Drop Tower. It was a really rewarding day! I'm happy with the way the day went!

I was in line for Diamondback at that point......some people....gosh...if it's really that big of a deal that you have to get a shoe or whatever....talk to the ride ops!

I love it, any time that I have ever done it, it has been at $5 even in the late afternoon.

All good suggestions....I'll keep them in mind! Any more ideas let me know! I am either going to fly or bus it out!

I'm kinda hoping to go out of Ohio...so it can be a true vacation for me! Haha! I've thought about going to KD or Carowinds, or actually anywhere I haven't been for the parks, so KI, CP, and CW. I'd probably only go to whatever park decided for two days max and would love to do other things in said area...so I'm not sure!

Hey all! So I've got roughly a week vacation at the end of July 19-24th ish....I'm lookin at taking a vacation. I've been toying with the idea of visiting a Cedar Fair park for a fraction of my vacation, among other going and doing something different. I'll be going by myself. So I guess my question is: If you were to go on a vacation by yourself...where would you go, what would you do, and if you were to visit a Cedar Fair park, which would you go to? Thanks for your help in advance!!!

Riding Diamondback all the time, I'd have to say 8-3 is my absolute favorite....however, riding 1-1 with your eyes closed the whole entire ride is incredible!!

Thanks for showing this!!! I love looking at abandoned buildings and parks!!! Although it does make me sad!

you'll probably see me working til about 4 then I'll be there after!

For buying a general admission ticket, for one certain day....a bit late....now season pass different story.

^^ Think they mean 9 am. 9pm would be almost too late to come to the park!

Haha glad you guys find it amusing as well!

Great TR Angie!! I need to go with you all sometime! haha

When I was in my early teens, I'd walk around the park meowing at people when they'd stare at me.....cuz you all know when you walk in the park some people just stare and stare....so I'd "meow". Stupid I know!

Awesome PTR Zach!

Among other ride associates, thanks to everyone who have said that we have been great! Rivertown associates are the bomb!!!!

My Question is: Why does it matter? Why are we not talking about Boo Blasters in this forum? This is the reason some people look away from KIC. Yes it would be nice to have more theming in the park. But we have what we have. Deal with it.

Hope you have a great time at the park! Visit me on Diamondback if you can!

Actually, a few of the things that have been mentioned the park employees do not do. Have you seen a park employees making improvements to The Crypt? Or maybe park employees working on the Tower Gardens waterfalls? This is the kind of thing we will try to do. I myself will enjoy doing these things. Ditto. I mean I'm sure its in someones job description to actually do this, but its farther down the list (*cough*like top guns paint job*cough*) But there are little things we would be able to do. and I'm stressing LITTLE things. planting a tree or 2 or some flowers, i could see that easily. mechanical work and heavy lifting regardless f exp or licenses... not so much. but like me and alluna both pointed out, yes there will be issues, yes it will take time, yes bring yourself down just a step or 2, cuz your hopes are starting to get a smidge high, but don't give up on everything like that. I mean you went from an appt to talk to them, to not doing anything, to agreeing to set up meetings? Thats one thing about your idea... if your gonna stick with it, stick with it.. your not, then get out now... I agree Rachel. For some of the things you want to do, you'd have to have employees there in specific departments, and other employees, but the time these things would be done, would be pushing limits on people (working 9am-10 pm and then sticking around to watch people do improvements, proves the employees to be very tired and wanting to go home as well as employees only being able to work a set number of hours a week). Continue to talk to the park and jump down like Rachel said a step or two....you can only do so much as well as the park employees.

got a 3944 today, without stops, but i think the counting system was off.
