Sunday Hours
I hope Haunt never comes to Sundays at KI. Fall Sundays (including a great time today!) are some of my favorite times to visit the park.

BGW to get a "giga" for 2021?
Yeah this seems like a really really odd follow up to Pantheon.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
There isn't one because they've never said that. They are offering refunds for trips booked through June 30th though.

Going To Carowinds For The First Time
It's hard, depending on crowds, to not have to bite the bullet and wait for either Ricochet or Nighthawk just due to where they are in proximity to each other. If getting all the credits is important, I would hit Ricochet first and then head over to Cobras and then loop around from there, ending up back by Fury and Hurler. If credits aren't a factor. Ride Fury 10 times and then check out whatever else floats your boat. As expected, the B&Ms are all people eaters. I haven't ridden Copperhead yet so I can't comment there. I hope you have a great experience!

Could KI be getting a Floorless next?
There have only been 3 conversions. You are right that there is a reason they were converted. Powers that be deemed them to have more 'hype' than the stand ups they replaced. Anything is marketable if you have the right people handling it.

Rollercoaster in Preliminary Stages at Wild Water West
There is lots of speculation that this is the actual coaster that was on display at IAAPA this year. It's reasonable to assume that RMC may have given them a good deal on what was essentially a 'display model', for lack of a better term.

Fun Spot looks into buying Indiana Beach
http://in-white-assessor.governmax.com/propertymax/rover30.asp?sid=3F Just search "Indiana Beach". It appears that the land was sold a while ago though and Apex had been leasing it. While this does certainly make it more complex to work out a sale, it isn't impossible.

Fun Spot looks into buying Indiana Beach
This would certainly be an interesting development. I would love to know what Fun Spot's long term vision for the park would be. The area is not exactly Orlando or Atlanta in terms of market but I would love to see them give IB a new lease on life.

Apex Parks Group adds Indiana Beach to their portfolio
Definitely sad news. Cornball Express was worth the trip alone. Hopefully someone steps up to give it another go.

MAJOR Announcement from Universal
^Or if you have to pay for each separately...

Decoding 2020
The words 'hyper' and 'giga' mean absolutely nothing to 99.99999% of the people that visit KI. We have to remember that an incredibly small portion of the park going (or potential park going) population looks at these things the way a lot of us do. Enthusiasts will choose to visit (or not) based on the finished product, not the words used to describe it. A 300 foot drop is plenty to market this ride around.

Never trust the opinion of anyone who enjoys Invertigo.

Exactly. I think the community tends to forget what an extremely small percentage of guests think about these things like we do. Roughly 99.9999% could care less how it compares to Fury. Heck, most probably don't even know Fury exists at all. I also think that (and I fully admit that I have never seen data on this particular topic) some of you are vastly overestimating the number of guests that regularly visit both CP and KI. The idea that, in 2019, the stats of any CF addition are being dictated by what has or is going to occur at another park in the chain is laughable. The stats of a ride in Charlotte or Toronto are not dictating the stats of this ride.

I fully expect this to be where our RMC goes in a few years.

See the previous pages. All 4 CF gigas would (roughly) fit in the cleared area.
