DEALS The company said it would seek court approval of its proposed reorganizatio= n plan in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in March. Six Flags filed for bankruptcy last June as fewer people attended its amuse= ment parks, leaving it struggling with heavy debt. Six Flags' reorganization plan is supported by a steering committee of its = secured creditors and led by investment firm Avenue Capital Management, whi= ch would take control of the company under the plan. But the company's official committee of unsecured creditors opposes the pla= n saying it undervalues the theme park operator. A group of junior noteholders led by Stark Investments want to offer their = own plan to take control of the company. It would give back more money to c= ertain groups of creditors. The court hearing on the Avenue-led reorganization plan is expected to last= two weeks. A lawyer for the Stark-led group was not available to comment. The company had filed for bankruptcy with an original plan that transferred= almost all its stock to senior lenders, including JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM= .N) in return for cutting its debt. It threw its support behind the Avenue-= led plan in November. Six Flags said in the filing that it expects its 2009 revenue to be down 10= .9 percent from the previous year at $111.1 million. The company said its exit financing terms would include a $150 million revo= lving credit facility, a $680 million term loan, and a financing commitment= of $150 million from Time Warner Inc (TWX.N). Time Warner characters, such= as Bugs Bunny, are featured at the company's theme parks. Six Flags would also conduct a $450 million rights offering, that would lea= ve Avenue with control of the company. The junior noteholders would get a 7= .3 percent equity stake in the reorganized company, under the proposed deal= . Six Flags has said in court documents that it does not believe the Stark-le= d plan has sufficient capital to fund the company's operations and would re= sult in protracted litigation. Six Flags' lenders were holding a meeting on Thursday to discuss the financ= ing, according to Reuters Loan Pricing Corporation [ID:nRLP61287a]. The case is In re: Premier International Holdings Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Cour= t, District of Delaware, No. 09-12019.

Panama City tourists and residents alike may re= member the old park, which was located on Panama City Beach from 1963 to 20= 04. It was sold to make way for a new condo development, and after the con= dos were never built, the park's remains were leveled last Fall. But Bay County resident Teddy Meeks plans on resurrecting a few of the ri= des, starting with the old park's original carousel he bought a few months = ago. "It was in the back of a 40 foot trailer with about six inches of dust al= l over it," Meeks said. "So I had to convince my wife it was okay to do th= is, she was a little apprehensive about it." Meeks said his wife didn't need any more convincing when the carousel pro= ved so popular at its new location in Pier Park. She gave Teddy the go-ahe= ad to purchase four more rides, which are on their way to join the carousel= at the popular beach shopping destination. But moving the rides and getti= ng his wife's approval to do it wasn't the toughest part of the move, it wa= s getting approval from the Mall's owners. "The process hasn't really been tough," Meeks said. "But going through t= he political process was a lot more daunting than getting [the machines mov= ed] through here." Once he got permission to move the rides, he was able to look forward to = the park's opening. He plans on it being pretty popular. "Our job is to keep people occupied," Meeks said. "Keep the kids who are= n't shopping, and the parents who aren't shopping occupied so that mom can = go and do her thing." The old park's rides will be in a central location in Pier Park. Meeks p= lans on a March opening, right in time for the prime tourism season.

I think the ride is more intense than Olypmia Looping, the Oktoberfest beast. This is essentially the same design as the Drier Looping, which used to tour Germany, which is now in Mexico, it is just a mirror image. More info is at: http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/ESmindbender-edmontonGF.htm . I do think it is odd, but conversely, you had either Arrow or Schwarzkopf to choose from and the DM had to be a hell of a lot cheaper than the dollar, so I think it probably made the most sense for them from every angle.

While owners Brian Philpot and Rob Harper haven't made any sort of announce= ments about the park's future, there are indications some positive activity= is taking place. Mark Jackson, executive director of Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketin= g, hinted Tuesday that something positive could happen before the end of th= e year. "Something formal will happen in the next two weeks," Jackson said. "It cou= ld be the next few days or sometime before the 31st (of December)," he said= . "There are a few things we have to iron out." Jackson said he couldn't give any more information because of a confidentia= lity agreement. County Commission Chairman Bob English said little Tuesday when asked about= Cypress Gardens' future. "There's nothing new I can tell you," he said. For months, rumors have been circulating in trade publications and amusemen= t industry blogs as to the identity of potential buyers for the beleaguered= attraction, which once defined Winter Haven but fell victim to competition= from Disney World and other larger attractions, the hurricanes of 2004 and= the economic downturn. On Sept. 30, the News Chief reported one company interested in purchasing t= he theme park is the United Kingdom-based Merlin Entertainments Group, whic= h owns theme parks scattered around the world, including Legoland in Califo= rnia. "I can't really say much about it," Jackson told the News Chief in Septembe= r. "We have had conversations with Legoland."

The ratings firm, which has Cedar Fair three notches into junk territory, had put the company on watch for downgrade shortly after the transaction wa= s announced.

Other than that there was little to nothing said about the sale. No work or clue on if they're going to turn it into a Legoland or what they're going to do. However I'd say that it's a very positive sign overall for the park- a company with a strong financial base that knows how to run parks and make them succeed is finally in charge of it again. It is a bit ironic that the company that bought it is a subsidiary of the company that bought out the Busch parks as well. Years ago, if my memory is correct, Busch owned Cypress as well. keep on ridin' George munkye1972 wrote: > > > http://www.newschief.com/article/20091216/NEWS/912165010?Title=Positive-signs-seen-for-Cypress-Gardens > > > and > > http://ori2.polk-county.net/wb_or1/details.asp?doc_id=7403560&file_num=2010005909&doc_status=V > > > WINTER HAVEN - While Cypress Gardens has been quietly deserted since its > doors closed abruptly Sept. 23, a contingency of advocates has been > aggressively marketing Florida's first theme park in hopes of securing > its future. > > While owners Brian Philpot and Rob Harper haven't made any sort of > announcements about the park's future, there are indications some > positive activity is taking place. > > Mark Jackson, executive director of Polk County Tourism and Sports > Marketing, hinted Tuesday that something positive could happen before > the end of the year. > > "Something formal will happen in the next two weeks," Jackson said.

Adam http://www.charlotteobserver.com/business/story/1182385.html BMW sues over S.C. roller coaster logos By Monique Newton mnewton@thesunnews.com Posted: Friday, Jan. 15, 2010 [image: bmw] A car drops from the Round About at Freestyle Music Park. The park is using BMW's MINI trademark on the ride, but hasn't signed a contract with the company to use the image. The German automaker BMW has sued the owners of Freestyle Music Park for a company trademark's likeness to a park ride, but the park's owners say it's a misunderstanding. BMW says the cars of Freestyle Music Park's Round About ride look similar to the BMW Mini car and that the park hasn't signed a contract with the company to use the likeness in a ride. When the park was Hard Rock Park, the Maximum RPM ride had a logo that looked similar to the BMW Mini logo posted on every car, but before Freestyle opened, it removed the logos during the rebranding of the park and named the ride Round About, said Freestyle spokeswoman Michelle Cantey. "As of our last communication with the BMW representative in November 2009, we had not signed an agreement to use BMW's trademarks and discussed our new investors coming on board in early 2010," Steve Baker, president of FPI MBE, said in a statement. "We suggested signing the agreement to use BMW's trademarks once the new investors came on board. ... We plan to rectify this misunderstanding and look forward to working with BMW in years to come." BMW of North America LLC and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG filed the suit against FPI MB Entertainment Tuesday in U.S. District Court of South Carolina for trademark infringement and falsedesignation of origin. On Nov. 3, BMW officials sent a cease and desist letter to Freestyle owners, asking them to stop using the Mini trademark with the ride, but Freestyle did not make any changes, BMW attorney J. Boone Aiken III wrote in the complaint. The unauthorized use of a ride with the likeness of the BMW Mini is likely to cause confusion and deceive potential customers, who might think BMW has approved Freestyle's products and services, or has some affiliation with the park, Aiken said. It "unjustly enriches" Freestyle Music Park and allows the park to "receive the benefit of goodwill" BMW has built up at "great labor and expense over many years," the court documents stated. When FPI MBE purchased Hard Rock Park in February, the owners contacted BMW because the car company had made the same requests of the former owners of Hard Rock Park, Baker said. "We understand that BMW is protecting its rights with the new Freestyle Music Park investors," Baker said. Freestyle officials expect the new investors to sign a transaction with the park by the end of this month. BMW is asking a judge to prevent Freestyle Music Park from using the Mini trademark further unless the park receives a license from BMW, and requesting that park owners pay BMW actual damages, including lost trademark royalties and any Freestyle profits that relate to the use of the likeness. Many businesses, entertainers and vendors are still waiting on payment from the park's 2009 debut season. Nine lawsuits and more than a dozen mechanic's liens have been filed against the park owners for unpaid services and supplies since July. FPI MBE bought the former Hard Rock Park out of bankruptcy last year for $25 million. It re-themed the 55-acre park, created a children's section and added new rides before it opened Memorial Day weekend. Freestyle Music Park closed its debut season on Sept. 23 and is tentatively scheduled to open March 11.

This combines 3 of my favorite things: coasters, chess, and xkcd. Although it wasn't really that funny, I urge everyone to check out a few more xkcd comics, it's one of the best on the web.

He then spilled it all over when a pretty girl asks for the time. Doesn't really sound like something they would do, as there was already a rollercoaster challenge type competition on DSC a few years back where they had to keep ping pong balls in a cup on X.

I replied to your post with this: How about that Pepsi commercial from a few years back where the kid rode a looping coaster while turning the cup to keep the drink in it. He then spilled it all over when a pretty girl asks for the time. Doesn't really sound like something they would do, as there was already a rollercoaster challenge type competition on DSC a few years back where they had to keep ping pong balls in a cup on X.

Twisted Sister aka Twisted Twins as it was called for the last 5 years has actually been rotting for the last 2 years. It did not operate in the either the 2008 or 2009 seasons. That actually to me signaled the possible end of the park when that area did not open for 2 seasons. Then last season, they dismantled Chang out of the blue.

But when I rode it again in 07 it was rough and boring, just like the hurler clones. Twisted sisters was a terrible ride, my least favorite cci (granted I only rode Villain opening year). Point being, Neither one seems worth saving to me. Thunder run, while a great coaster when it's running good, was designed by someone who never seemed to understand how physics works. Large drops into banked turns didn't turn out well on any of the wooden coasters. Wood doesn't seem to like all that stress. (I am a layman though, so it's just a guess) I do really hope that the Anton shuttle finds a nice new home. It's the only one I've been on, and it really was a blast. For me, the worst part of this whole thing is loosing out on the cheap SFKK pass I get every year for my wife. -mike On Friday, February 5, 2010, wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In a message dated 2/5/2010 2:32:27 P.M.

They really don't have much in the way of classic rides anymore. They have a few scattered around, but they're mostly a giant, adrenaline-fueled playground. With 17 coasters, 4 of them taller than 200 ft, you'll definitely find what you're looking for there. Of course, there are many parks with rides that many would call "better". If you're into intense wooden coasters, for example, Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana is *the* place to go. If you're looking to take a mini vacation to hit up a large amount of rolle= r coasters in one full swing, I'd say do CP, Kennywood and King's Island. All of them are within roughly 3 hours of each other (give or take), and each one is slightly different in the types of rides you'll get.

In no particular order: Europa Park (Germany) All around amazing park, from rides to theme to food = to everything. Alton Towers (UK) Beautiful park with some truly world class rides. Blackpool Pleasure Beach (UK) Probably the best remaining traditional seasi= de park remaining in the world. Fuji-Q Highland (Japan) Spectacular rides in a spectacular setting at the b= ase of Mt.

Space World (Japan) Mix an amusement park and NASA's Space Camp, and you ge= t Space World.=20 Mirabilandia (Italy) Great selection of attractions, great theming and hey,= it's Italy, so great food. Port Aventura (Spain) The only park Universal ever left, it's still got the= same level of detail you'd expect from one of the Universal parks. Tokyo DisneySea (Japan) My favorite Disney park, anywhere. I don't think HK= DL would change that opinion if I do get to visit there someday.

City officials voted 7-4 to rebuild the historic Memphis roller coaster -- = said to have been a favorite of Elvis Presley -- at their Bay Beach Amuseme= nt Park. One alderman who favored the plan was absent from the meeting. The vote came after at least an hour of heated debate, observers said. "It's too risky," said Alderman Guy Zima, one of four to vote against. "Rome is burning, but we're talking about roller coasters," Zima said. During a break in the meeting, Mayor Tom Schmitt reported the vote, saying = "it's going to be terrific." In the days leading up to the vote, Alderman Tom De Wane and others had exp= ressed concerns about the cost. They also raised concerns about how well th= e structure would hold up in the rugged weather of Wisconsin. "This is going to be fantastic for Green Bay," said Scott Matejov, the mayo= r's chief of staff. "Some (aldermen) believed we moved too quickly, but this has been a long ti= me coming," said Matejov. "The Zippin Pippin will be a good fit." On the home front, Shelby County Commissioner Steve Mulroy hailed the vote. "I'm very pleased. This shows that Green Bay recognizes the value, history = and legacy of the Pippin," Mulroy said. "Green Bay will be an excellent hom= e for it."

This is a guy with no actual ties into Merlin or Legoland, and no actual knowledge of what their long range plans are for Legoland and the property other than what they've announced publicly. Merlin has already mentioned plans for a resort, but they've said that they don't know on the aquarium and that it's far enough off that any decision really isn't on their radar yet. I think a bigger challenge would be where to locate the aquarium since the area around the park is pretty developed. There simply may not be room for one.

It's a steel ibeam track that is shaped to be the exact dimensions of wood coaster track. The trains will use urethane wheels. But it's possible that traditional wood coaster trains can still run on it, just with the new wheels. So is this still going to be a wood coaster, a steel coaster, or some sort of hybrid that's not really either one? Some very interesting discussions out there about it. keep on ridin' George -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

The most I think you'll see is perhaps one of their Lego themed Atlantis aquarium walk-through exhibits like they've build in some of the European parks. While Merlin owns Legoland, Merlin is owned by Blackstone, who owns SeaWorl= d now. It would be a conflict of interest to try to build a Sea Life attraction at Legoland Florida from that aspect alone, but on top of that, the Florida marker is already over-saturated with marinelife attractions. In addition to the SeaWorld / Discovery Cove / Aquatica complex in Orlando, Tampa has it's own aquarium attraction down by the port, and then there is also the large Miami Seaquarium to the south, in addition to any other smal= l attractions around the state. Had the deal to purchase SeaWorld come into play sooner, I don't think Legoland California would have a Sea Life there either... but it was already under construction by the tim= e the Busch parks were put on the market.

I'm still waiting to find out when/ if we're moving and where. Looking for a paying job at a church can be a challenge. But when it eventually happens it'll be fun to see where we end up, and if we're even near a park (Please God, don't be that cruel to me! :p) keep on ridin' George (who will be back at SCBB the weekend after Easter for the first time in many years) -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

Adam http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/now-in-the-movie-marketing= -mix-six-flags/ Now in the Movie Marketing Mix: Six Flags By STUART ELLIOTT Hollywood studios are always looking for ways to promote new releases. The Six Flags amusement parks are now offering themselves as places to introduc= e coming films. [image: DESCRIPTION]Karate competitions at 10 Six Flags parks will promote = a new version of =93The Karate Kid.=94 To help promote the release on June 11 by Columbia Pictures of a new versio= n of =93The Karate Kid,=94 there will be competitions at 10 Six Flags parks a= round the country to find the most talented karate students and their senseis, or teachers. The public will help pick the winners of the contest, called the Karate Kid Challenge at Six Flags. The event is one of many developed by the Six Flags Media Networks unit of Six Flags, which looks at the theme parks as the teams in a league, or the local affiliates in a television network. The unit sells advertisers on-premise marketing opportunities that include events like the karate contest, commercial time on TV screens scattered around the parks, branded food stands and even ad wraps for roller coasters= . The goal of having =93media inside the parks=94 is to help marketers reach = the millions of consumers who visit Six Flags properties each year, said David McKillips, senior vice president for corporate alliances at Six Flags in Ne= w York. Six Flags teamed up with MGM last year to promote a remake of =93Fame=94 wi= th talent contests held at each park. The movie may have flopped, but Six Flag= s executives say the contests performed well. Information on the competition centered on =93The Karate Kid=94 may be foun= d on a Web site (thekaratekidchallenge.com), which goes live on Wednesday. Karat= e children and their teachers will be invited to put on exhibitions at the 10 Six Flags parks on the weekends of May 1-2 and May 8-9. Judges will select a winning team and a runner-up at each park. Video clips of the exhibitions by the winners will be posted on Yahoo, and the public can vote on their favorite teams from May 18 to 25. The three teams with the most votes will be invited to the premiere of =93T= he Karate Kid=94 in Los Angeles, where the team with the most votes will be announced. That team wins the grand prize, which includes a private screening of the movie for family and friends. In addition to the competition, there will be a presence for =93The Karate Kid=94 throughout the Six Flags parks. Examples include ad wraps for roller coasters in five parks and trailers for the movie appearing on TV screens and monitors. Six Flags is considering other movies to promote this year, Mr. McKillips said, like haunted houses in the theme parks tied to the release around Halloween of a horror film. The cinema presence at the parks has roots in the history of Six Flags. Whe= n the parks were owned by Time Warner, characters from Warner Brothers cartoons were featured on premise. The promotion of the movies at the Six Flags properties is an example of experiential marketing, which seeks to bring brands, products and entertainment properties to life in tangible ways. Experiential marketing i= s growing in popularity as it becomes easier for consumers to avoid traditional ads like TV commercials.

A remake of the Karate Kid, however... Not so much. That movie doesn't even seem old enough to fall into the "let's remake it and market it as new" category, which seems to be the trend these days.

Consistent with the terms of the agreement, Cedar Fair will pay Apollo $6.5 million to reimburse Apollo for certain expenses incurred in connection wit= h the transaction. In addition, both parties will release each other from all obligations with respect to the proposed merger transaction as well as from any claims arising out of or relating to the merger agreement. As a result of the termination of the merger agreement, the Special Meeting of Unitholders to be held on April 8, 2010 has been cancelled. The Company will hold its 2010 Annual Meeting of Unitholders on Monday, June 7, 2010, for unitholders of record as of April 23, 2010. Dick Kinzel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of the Company= , said, =93The Board has heard from Cedar Fair unitholders and it is apparent that the merger transaction does not have the required level of investor support. We are honored and excited by the opportunity to continue to manag= e and operate Cedar Fair as a public company and to provide our guests with a= n outstanding experience. =93Our 2010 operating season is upon us, and we have already introduced maj= or new attractions at two of our parks. Intimidator305, a 305-foot-tall roller coaster at Kings Dominion, and Intimidator, a 232-foot-tall roller coaster at Carowinds, both had very successful opening days. We hope to continue this momentum across the rest of our properties and throughout the operatin= g season. As we execute on our business objectives, we will also be evaluatin= g next steps to address our capital structure. The Board and management team remain committed to acting in the best interests of all Cedar Fair unitholders. We appreciate the feedback that we have received from unitholders as well as Apollo=92s interest in Cedar Fair and their cooperat= ion and professionalism throughout the process.=94 In order to allow adequate time to evaluate all options, a unitholder right= s plan (the =93Rights Plan=94) has been adopted. The Rights Plan is designed= to enable all unitholders to realize the long-term value of their investment i= n the Company and to ensure that all unitholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any hostile attempt to gain control of the Company. The Rights Plan is not designed to prevent transactions that treat all Cedar Fair unitholders fairly. Under the plan, the rights will initially trade together with the Company= =92s units and will not be exercisable. The rights will generally become exercisable after a person or group becomes a beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company=92s units. The rights will expire on April 5, 2013, unl= ess earlier redeemed, exchanged, or amended. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any specific effort to acquire control of the Company, but as an appropriate preventative measure to ensure all unitholders are protected while the board of directors considers next steps. A copy of the merger termination agreement and the Rights Plan have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can also be found on the Company=92s website at www.cedarfair.com/ir/financial/sec.

Hopkins died peacefully in East Blue Hill, = Maine on April 3, 2010. He was 83. Born in 1926 in Beijing, China to Delnoce and Robert Hopkins, O.D. moved wi= th his family to New Jersey when he was two. From an early age he exuded cr= eative ambition and self confidence. He started out as a farmer and then went on to prove himself proficient in = logging, road and bridge contracting, pre-poured concrete, ski lift erectio= n and later in life, amusement ride design and construction. He is probably most well known for his 1969-formed company, O.D. Hopkins As= sociates, Inc. O.D. Hopkins Associates, Inc. is best known for suppling Sky= Gliders and water rides to small family-owned amusement parks but built for= the major theme park chains as well. Along with five steel looping roller = coasters, the firm designed and/or was involved with well known attractions= such as Disneyland's Splash Mountain, The Mall of America's Paul Bunyon Lo= g Flume, Warner Brothers Movieland Log Ride in Australia and hundreds of ot= her rides in the U.S., Japan, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Phillipin= es, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Italy, France and The United Kingdom. Hopkins' lifelong friend and business associate Jerry Pendleton remembers h= is mentor with fondness: "O.D. and I had a very unique relationship. We rar= ely disagreed on things, and I knew that it never paid to argue much with h= im because 99 percent of the time he was right. He told me once that my job= was to be the front man as he was more than content to design things and t= hat was how we functioned for many years. When I think back to those early = years of pumping septic tanks, driving truck, operating backhoes and workin= g with him on mountains, I realize how fortunate I was to have met the man = who taught me to drive a tractor and gave me a lifetime education in so man= y things." O.D. Hopkins is survived by his wife, Hope, along with five children and 11= grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. at the East Blue = Hill Community Church in Maine.

It could not be any easier! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think it would be easier if parks would just stick to everyone waiting in line for their turn on a first come first served basis. By the time you start letting all this line reserving happen, the people who won't, can't, or don't do it end up waiting so much longer because of everyone else getting a free pass to not wait. It makes it so much easier to enjoy a park. That way, you are not locked into showing up to a ride at a certain time, when you're halfway across the park, and things like that. Just go do what you want and be free to go where you want, when you want randomly and enjoy your day. No need to be stressed out about when your time is coming, and getting in front of someone who waited 45 minutes to ride the ride. It worked that way for 100 years, so no reason why it wouldn't work for another 100 years!

I think this is a great technological update. If someone is able to pay for an upgraded experience, or the technology to facilitate such an experience, then I'm all for that experience being offered. Remember when you pay admission to a park, there's no guarantee that you'll get on all the rides with that alone, it's in writing. "Ride availability may vary due to weather and other circumstances". How is it, that people should be able to pay for "premium" health insurance= , to "cut in line" for life-saving procedures, but don't dare mess with amusement park tickets? Seems a bit off to me. -Josh Sent from my iPhone On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 6:11 AM, Michael G wrote: > > > > > > > I think it would be easier if parks would just stick to everyone waitin= g > in > > line for their turn on a first come > > first served basis.

Amusement Parks were always a big level playing field before... everyone paid the same to get in, everyone waited the same amount of time. (well... 99% of people did...) Now we've created a whole caste system of theme park guests... Those who have to wait... and those who don't... for the most part based on how much you pay to get it. This has resulted in wasted labor hours for parks to staff people to sort the guests, and wasted money at parks who have created various infrastructure (electronic systems, additional queues, etc) to handle this sorting of guests into their proper caste levels. I'd much rather see this money spent on the attractions themselves, better quality staff or "Next Gen" style innovations like what Disney is said to be working on where the queue is no longer a queue but a large interactive freestyle play area and you're called up to ride when it's your turn.

Yes and no, at least in my opinion. My problem with FastPass and most of the other systems is that they let entirely to many people use them, which means large numbers of people going through the "short" line, which absolutely kills the regular line. That seems to be the case with most of the systems, especially the free and really cheap ones. However, when they system is put in place to limit the numbers of those people who "skip", then it works very well. Q-bot, I think, is by far the best system yet implemented. The numbers given out are limited, and their impact on the regular line is minimal. When I was at SFoG a few years ago Qbot is the only thing that allowed us to manage to get all the rides in that we wanted. But the actual Qbot lines rarely had more than us and one other group, maybe, and were hardly an impact on the lines for the coasters. It worked well because they limited how many they would distribute per day (I think it might have been 1000, which is a very small number in a larger park), and the costs were enough that also helped to limit the numbers. Another example that works well, and in my opinion, is needed is the parent swaps. It's another form of line skipping as you're letting the second parent essentially skip the line so that both parents can ride while one waits with the young child. keep on ridin' George -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

I balked at this high number at first, and was told that when Disney was first testing the FP system they kept it much lower... starting with a reversed level of 30/70% and then a 50/50% split, but time after time the FP tickets would sell out too early and people would howl and complain... Other factors also came into play about how they settled into their current split, which was heavily influanced by the sales figures of the nearby food and merchandise locations. Disney discovered with their system, that by adjusting the numbers just right, they could keep guests in the immediate vicinity of the FP attraction and actually increase sales at the nearby outlets. Instead of wandering off to ride the Astro Orbiter while waiting for their FP Return Time to come up, guests would often wander into gift shops and impulse buy something, or go to a nearby food outlet or snack stand and get something to munch on while they waited. I also agree that the Lo-Q Q-Bot system is the best functioning system I've encountered that seems to have virtually no impact on the regular lines. However... I've also noticed that the cost of using this system has SKYROCKETED since it first launched... so guests now asked to pay a very high price to use it. Parent Swaps are good and needed... I've used them often enough myself, but i don't consider them part of a virtual queue system. It just allows parents to have one wait in line and another not to, otherwise the alternative is taking the kids in line with you and doing the swap in the station which can cause operational delays, depending on how any given attraction is set up.

If that was how life really happened there would never be any progress. However, some progress is positive, some negative; and one's view comes from the perspective of their life. For me, I don't like fast pass. I've never used one. Most of the times I've had the opportunity to, they were of the pay variety. And as far as humans go, I'm of the not-too-wealthy variety. So I passed, and waited in line. And they blare advertisements at you when you try to do that. Anything for a buck. I know fast pass systems are the wave of the future, and all the amusement corporations sit around dreaming of how they can get rid of lines once and for all. They think people don't want to wait in lines. People think they don't want to wait in lines either. The parks know that people will be purchasing a lot less while their in a line. So if they succeed in this vision, it's win-win. But there goes all the building anxiety, fear, and anticipation. The anticipation that used to make that ride you wait an hour for just a little bit more of an accomplishment, at least for me when I was a kid. What bothers me the most about this whole thing: On the busiest day in the middle of the summer with a full queue, you're only going to wait 30-40 minutes for Boulderdash. Is that too much for us, as patrons? As humans? As Americans? I'm not too upset about flash pass taking over. We've all seen it coming since at least 2001. We all knew what was going to happen. As over-informed park patrons, most of us chose sides. You're either with flash pass, or against all of us. You can see the separation between users and non on the various forums. It doesn't take too long to feel which side a given website is on. It's just getting harder to find that "against us" crowd. As for me - I'd use one if someone gave it to me for free. And I'd feel really guilty about it all day long. Maybe I'd start getting defensive, an= d draw parallels between amuesment parks and all the other fee-for-better-service opportunities available in this world. That would probably make it easier for me to sleep. But for now, I'll keep standing in my line, watching you all pass with smiles, as my soul slowly dies. -mike (hyperbole, by the way).

If you were talking to someone= about a Disney park and said "I don't want to go because it's too crowded,= " they would come back with "Yeah, but if you use the fastpass, you get to = cut all the lines, it's great!" This allows people to talk favorably about= there Disney experience even when it is super crowded. What they don't mention is that you only get a few fast passes per day. Th= e rest of the lines move extra slow, and I'm pretty sure the ratio of no wa= it to extra wait is negative.=20=20 The only way to truely not wait in long lines is if you are one of those fa= milies who are not going to ride much and just stroll around the park until= you can fastpass a ride again. That may be fine for Season Pass holders, = or families on a 7 day park hopper, but the rest of us? When we were at Disney 3 years ago, I remember waiting in line for the Auto= topia ride and the regular line we were in DID NOT MOVE! I started to look= to see why, and it was because they were letting all the fastpass in. It = was horrible. So many people were getting in front, I thought we'd never g= et on.=20 And of course I'm against the pay programs at Six Flags. But honestly, I h= aven't been to a 6F park in 3 years. There are none close to us, true, but= I simply do not care to partonize them. I think they are terrible parks, = poorly run, and because we do not have season passes to make them "free" we= choose not to spend the money to seek them out. Even though we can afford= to pay for the Qbot, or whatever it's called, I probably would not do so j= ust because I do not want to support the system. Cedar Point did a free handstamp "fastpass" system for a few years and I wa= s against it. Again, you get one fast line cut, but when we go to CP we li= ke to ride a lot. That one fast line did not make up for the multiple slow= er lines the rest of the day.

CP, you could only do 2 hand stamps per day anyway, unless you could somehow scrub off the handstamp of the 2 rides you had enough to make it look as though you didn't have any. Their system never worked very well, imo.

It's called the Sky Cruiser, and instead of bicycles, you have a 2 person bench with pedals down at the feet, almost like a paddle boat. Fun ride, but the wait times are horrible because the capacity is so low. The article you link to is a bit misleading as there is another more traditional roller coaster right next to it that has some decent drops, but the pedal coaster, if you look close, is pretty much flat the whole way. keep on ridin' George On 4/30/2010 6:32 PM, jay_ducharme wrote: > > > Has anyone ever seen (or maybe ridden) this? > > > > > Jay -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

(only the problems I am aware of!) 1. Season 1 - overheating motors and stopping a few inches too soon. 2. After Season 1 - increased height of support towers because the track was swaying too much when the train was at the top. 3. A year or two later, the hang time on the rear tower was shortened reportedly due to excessive stress on the track. 4. Last season - eliminated the hang time altogether, apparently due to weakening of the track due to flexing when the train was being held.

Why a subcontractor wouldn't follow their orders, well, that's up for speculation. Article said that CP had 2 of the 4 boats already modified but didn't want to open the ride until all 4 were ready to go. It wouldn't be the first time that a subcontractor goofed up their part and caused a delay in opening. And it's not a problem with the design of the ride- at least this time. keep on ridin' George -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

Actually, I believe the statement was that the manufacturer (Intamin) contracted out the manufacturing of the boats, and when they came together, they didn't fit the flume.

It's not a manufacturing plant that this is helping at all. Not even close. The boats were shipped from the subcontractor directly to CP, who didn't discover the problem until after the boats were finished being put together at the park then put on the ride. They didn't go back to some plant. CP themselves are the ones that are fixing the boats, doing their own retrofit to make them work on the ride. Which means CP is paying out of their pocket whatever extra costs there are to get it fixed. That doesn't help anyone. keep on ridin' George -- ------------------------------------ With God, life is one thrill ride you'll never want to get off of.

Also the small parts manufacturing shops will recieve work creating the new parts. But, this is based of experience at a middle layer in the subcontracting chain, although we worked mainly with helicopter parts. The same might not be true in this instance. -mike On Thursday, May 13, 2010, Adam Sandy wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > "Which means CP is paying out of their pocket whatever extra costs = there are > to get it fixed.

When i quizzed him about the issue back when the ride was announced, he said that the Maverick style restraints, as seen in their animation, were not going to be used and something new with a more belt style restraint would be used. Then the trains appeared with the Maverick style restraints and everyone went, "WTF?" Now they're doing it again... ;-) I haven't been on I305 myself yet, but I've heard the speed and snappy transitions can be a little rough on the head/neck area, which is why they wanted something different in the first place. I'm guessing either... 1) They made their argument for the different restraints and will now get them or 2) The new style were not going to be ready in time for the opening, so Maverick style were put on in place until they could ship the new ones out.

So I grabbed my 2 coworkers and we went off to KD. The par= k was very crowded and most waits were long. 2 hours for Volcano was by fa= r the longest. And Volcano is still the best ride in the park. We got lucky with I305. It was closed while we were waiting for Volcano, b= ut we walked over there anyways, just in time to see the line open back up.= So the wait was less than 10 minutes, but it quickly spilled out of the q= ueue as we got off the ride.=20=20 Not wanting to wait for the front, we waited for row 2. Also mindful of th= e transitions, and experience with Maverick, I did not want to sit in back.= =20=20 Since there were 3 of us, I got the first ride of our group with a single r= ider, and then when I was getting off, there was another single geting in m= y row, so I grabbed the sneaky re-ride! Glad I did, because we would not g= et another chance due the the park being so crowded. So what did I think? The first drop is amazing! Better than Millenium For= ce. But that is about where it ends. The first ride around the high speed= turn, I got bad tunnel vision, so instead of enjoying the speed, I was fig= hting it. (If you will remember, the reason MF is my favorite coaster is f= or all of the ground hugging speed, which is why I 305 *should* be better.)= The airtime hill was nice and fast and airtimey. Then came a bunch more = high speed transitions that really just whip you around a bunch. I knew th= at, and was braced for them, but still... And here's the thing. I had a lot of fun on this ride, really I did, but f= or me, I do not feel that when I ride a coaster that I should have to ride = defensively. This is a ride where I would not dare put my hands up, I need= them to steady my self in the side to side snaps. See my other thread abo= ut how Intamin F'ed up the engineering of this ride (and Maverick.) Anothe= r readon I enjoy MF so much is because I can ride it all day. I don't thin= k I could do a marathon session on I 305. But I can't on Voyage either... = I said the same thing about Maverick... this ride would be a lot better if= it was about 10 mph slower. So I know that puts me in the minority, and those of you that know me and h= ave been to parks with me know that I have a much lower tolerance than othe= rs. I guess I just prefer to have fun, and not prove how tough I am by sub= jecting myself to repeated beatings. A few other notes... I bought my Plaimum pass for the year while at KD. T= heir policy is that they will not re-imburse you the initial $10 parking fe= e, even though parking is included on the Pl pass. I complained at Guest e= rvices at the end of the day, and eventually they brought out a manager. H= e said you have to buy online to get that. I explained how I couldn't do t= hat since it was a last minute decision, and I paid for my family's renewal= s even though they weren't with me (cuz I didn't know if I could) and that = they never did that to me at CP or KI, where we've bought Pl passes in the = past. Eventually, he gave me my $10 back.=20=20 Also, I HAVE NEVER SEEN LINE JUMPING AS BAD AS I DID THIS DAY! Every singl= e ride we went on, there were blatant line jumpers. From the people who ju= st "excuse me" to the front of the line, to in line for Volcano, a group of= 20 middle school kids who all ducked under the rails to join a group of fr= iends halfway up. At the end of the day, a group of teens was trying to ge= t by us in the outside queue of FOF, and I said no. "What do you mean?" "= I've been letting people cut all day, and I'm not letting you by. I don't = care if you climb the fence behind me, but I'm not letting you by." And 10= hs kids climbed a 4 foot fence and hopped over it. No one else in line sa= id anything. I was hoping at least one would fall on their face, but none = did.=20=20 I am not one who typically writes letters to parks, but this visit warrants= one. Overall, I do enjoy KD. Volcano is worth the trip alone, it's that good. = And I-305 is a good addition too.=20=20 From RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com Wed May 19 22:51:10 2010 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 28168 invoked by uid 7800); 20 May 2010 05:51:07 -0000 Date: 20 May 2010 05:51:07 -0000 Message-ID: <1274334667.13.28167.m3@yahoogroups.com> X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-system MIME-Version: 1.0 X-eGroups-Application: calendar X-Yahoo-Group-Post: system From: RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com To: RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com Subject: Anniversary Reminder Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="YCalReminder=YZsWkSOUMUsZeQJ1274334648-1" --YCalReminder=YZsWkSOUMUsZeQJ1274334648-1 Content-type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; Reminder from: RollerCoasterTalk Yahoo!

He did so much not just for Holiday World but for the am= usement industry in general. To have taken a small out-of-the-way park and= turn it into a major destination within a decade was nothing short of rema= rkable. It's definitely a huge loss. Here's a release from Holiday World: From Holiday World & Splashin' Safari: SANTA CLAUS, IN - Holiday World & Splashin' Safari owner and president Will Koch passed away Sunday evening at his home. "Will was not only our leader, he was our dear friend," says park spokesperson Paula Werne. "Our park family is in mourning for this sweet man who worked tirelessly to bring fun and happiness to so many families in the 20 years he ran the park." Koch died at home of what the family believes to be complications from diabetes. He was 48. "The Koch family wants to assure the public that Holiday World & Splashin' Safari will be open today and will continue to be owned and operated by his family," says Werne. "We know that's what Will would have wanted." Born and raised in the town of Santa Claus, Koch attended Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, and was Valedictorian of his graduating class in 1979. He graduated with honors from the University of Notre Dame in 1984 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. In 1986, he received a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern California. Koch was Chief Executive Officer of Koch Development Corporation, the parent company of Holiday World Theme Park and Splashin' Safari Water Park. Under his direction, the theme park followed an aggressive growth program including the addition of Splashin' Safari Water Park in 1993, The Raven and The Legend wooden roller coasters in 1995 and 2000, plus The Voyage wooden coaster in 2006, for which he was a designer. In 2004, Koch received the international Applause Award from the amusement industry; the criteria for the coveted award include foresight, originality and creativity, plus sound business development and profitability. Each year since 2006, annual seasonal attendance at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari has topped one million visitors. This year, the park premiered Wildebeest, the world's longest water coaster. Koch served as president of the Lincoln Boyhood Drama Association, which worked with the State of Indiana to reopen the Lincoln Amphitheatre in 2009 with a new drama honoring the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. He was also a past member of the Board of Directors of the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions; and he served on the Administrative Council of the Santa Claus United Methodist Church. Koch is survived by his wife, Lori, and three children: Lauren, Leah, and William. He is also survived by his mother, Pat, and siblings Dan, Kristi, Philip and Natalie. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to the Lincoln Boyhood Drama Association or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Funeral arrangements are pending. more:=20 From RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com Wed Jun 16 22:51:41 2010 Return-Path: Received: (qmail 94344 invoked by uid 7800); 17 Jun 2010 05:51:37 -0000 Date: 17 Jun 2010 05:51:37 -0000 Message-ID: <1276753897.523.94307.m10@yahoogroups.com> X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-system MIME-Version: 1.0 X-eGroups-Application: calendar X-Yahoo-Group-Post: system From: RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com To: RollerCoasterTalk@yahoogroups.com Subject: Anniversary Reminder Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="YCalReminder=KPr8zpb0mGctUdRis4XJUv05X0I0LDF1276753870-1" --YCalReminder=KPr8zpb0mGctUdRis4XJUv05X0I0LDF1276753870-1 Content-type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; Reminder from: RollerCoasterTalk Yahoo!
