  2. Cute. I rode The Boss in the rain and wanted to kill myself. Stinging drops and jackhammering. The perfect combo. Regardless, I'm waiting for HITP next year to try to get some snow rides. Oh... wait.

  3. ......And as far as "that Sea Salt ice cream" goes (see above, somewhere) .... It was available on my first TPR visit there, in 2007. The ice cream was in a container, and the container was in this "clam shell" you kept as a souvenir. Very cool taste and idea, it was. TDR Souvenirs, 2007. On the right, there. Lid's in front of the clam shell holder I got, along with the ice cream.

  4. Recent construction photo of 'Arendelle: Home of Frozen'... Photo from the net, Thanks! It's really looking good, there. Almost a whole new mini-Land unto itself, lol. And...... I am still curious, about that GREEN RECTANGULAR THING in back, there? And how they are hiding it, etc? Does it maybe have to do, with some kind of "water filtration system" as the attraction is a flume ride, yes?

  6. I had to go back to the prior report. Sounded like she wasn't fastened correctly, or at all. I think speculation was that she was sitting on top of the belt (IE the ride was sent empty, and she hopped on the belt, which would have been locked in). If this were the case, the op would have checked the belt and saw it was clipped in (but not on). Isn't this still negligent? It may not have been on *purpose*.... But isn't that... Negligent? I'm so confused by this. Of course nothing will bring her back, but there has to be an explanation as to what happened.

  9. I've worked for both companies for many years (not just a seasonal employee.) Busch USED to be amazing. When the Busch family owned the parks, there was a level and quality and service unmatched elsewhere. Once they sold to Blackstone, things went downhill fast. This past summer, Cedar Point celebrated its 150th with tons of show including a MASSIVE one with a cast of over 70 people. This past Christmas, Sea World could not be bothered to bring back "Oh Wondrous Night," their award winning Christmas show and instead got groups to fill in on weekends. It was lackluster and cheap and showed how different these two parks are in their commitment to entertainment. There is just no comparison between the companies and their two philosophies. Cedar Fair has been around for 150+ years and is an ENTERTAINMENT company. Sea World is owned by Blackstone, an investment firm. They just see the parks as money makers and way to make dividends off of their stocks. And until Sea World Orlando can retain a president for more than one year, they are in no business to be buying other properties.

  10. I am going to say this happening is as likely as that new Six Flags they are building in Orlando. Or that new theme park going up near I Drive. Or.... Basically not going to happen. Why? Sea World could BARELY pay for its coasters, 3 of which have yet to open. They are notorious for having mass layoffs every year. Doesn't sound like a company that can take on a LOT of debt. PLUS Six Flags offered Cedar Fair $4 BILLION last year that they rejected. WHY would the chain even entertain a lower offer? The news made both of their stocks rise. Maybe that was their intention all along.
