Not at all, you took what I said the wrong way or I didn't explain my feelings in enough depth.

Who cares when it reopens so long as everyone is safe and proper procedures are followed?

Hopefully an opening date.

I've heard Terpy was present for the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Versailles. That COULD be rumor and conjecture though.

Yes, it was. I was young and knew it was a coaster but aside from that I had no idea how it worked.

I suppose a lot more decides that than weather alone though. My previous comment was based on their timetable for opening a ride alone and seemed odd to me.

Is that part of Alabama far enough south to be a year round venture?

???

I waited about five hours for Flight of Fear on it's opening day. We started off back past Zephyr and thought we were an hour or so away from the building. Unknown to us at the time there was the outside queue, and the inside queue to work through... Had our group realized that we would have tried another day.

It seemed like some pools were different temperatures.

My car is a 98 Oldsmobile with 191xxx miles and two windows braced up by 2x4s... for now.

Technically yes, however the water doesn't open until the posted time so it's basically to claim your real estate for the day.

Wait and see. After last year's super fast paced 2014 decoding I'm so over guessing and speculating until there is real evidence. Queue the green INTAMIN track.

I found a briefcase full of money once, and a Michael Bay movie broke out. Then I woke up.

I would love another big draw ride at Holiday World. For me, for now that place would be a nice place to visit but it isn't a "must do"... yet. I'm not much of a water attraction person but my kids may be one day, and if there is another ride for me to talk them onto it may become a nice day or weekend trip.

I don't remember Bond, but there was a several year long break where I didn't get to the park once (gasp) so maybe I never saw it. I definitely do remember Days of Thunder having a stupid long line though.

We have a couple of Fanuc 6 axis robots where I work. When the first one was installed I joked that I wanted to attach a seat to it and have people spin me around. They all thought I was crazy until I found a YouTube video.

Lego Land for adults?

Well they're using an area that has been labeled "future expansion". Is it that simple? I'm not in the Holiday World inner circle... or am I? P.S. I'm not.

I'm glad someone else noticed that part of the article.

I don't mind information and courteous interactions. Sarcasm, and incorrect information does not provide anything positive or useful to anyone.

Oh one more thing about spiels. On a visit this year I had my son in line for a ride he had never ridden, and as part of an operator's comedy routine incorrect stats were given about that ride. If my boy had been paying attention and heard them state that that particular ride goes upside down four times there is no way in this world he would have gotten on. In addition to that, he would have thought of me as a liar. How so? Before every new ride experience his question is "does it go upside down?" and since I said "no" he would assume that I was playing a trick on him after someone in official uniform said that it does.

I feel like a lot of things ride ops say is (obviously) for the enthusiasts. I wonder how often this confuses the GP and makes them think the employees truly don't know what they're talking about.
