Nice article...

Seems like every year around this time or around the time the park opens daily that an article comes out about the maintenance and safety of the rides from one of the local news organizations.

This is what we call a "fluff" story. Its not news worthy but hey it will fill some time.

Tell that to a certain family in Louisville....

That was a good comeback...Me like!

Man it is hard to belive that has almost been a year ago. I do not think that is a good thing to joke around about not saying you were or anything though.

I'm not. One of the primary reasons that article appeared is due to the Kentucky Kingdom incident. Topics fresh on the viewers' and readers' minds resonate.

That article will be on everyones minds for awhile, such a tragic event. Hopefuly somehow, someway good will come out of it.

Well Superman Tower Of Power is gone and hopefully every park around the world now will take afety very serious to prevent another incident like this from ever happening again.

As true as that statement is Terp, this is a fill story. 9 on Your Side is full of them: Just something to fill in the gaps between major stories. Thus, called a "fluff" story.

Its also a moral booster to KI (probably done because KI asked) to reassure visitors, and to get as many who faced concerns about safety back to the park.

It's not a fluff story. A fluff story would be like an, "oh god, we have an empty 5 minute segment that we need to fill!" thing. Channel 9 made very special arrangements with both Kings Island and the state of Ohio to do this story long in advance. They also spent many many hours in the park to get the shots they wanted. They wouldn't do that for a quick shoot.

I call fluff story...

Its not news worthy though its still fluff. Only thing they did was try to link it to the SFKK thing

DEGENS BACK!!!!

It is a filler story. I guarantee you that if a bigger story broke, they would delay the story until the next day. That makes it a fluff story.

And Ryan, no matter how long they spend in a park, its still a fluff story.

I gotta agree, this is nothing but blatant promotion and a filler spot.
