i really dont see the park opening this year. i know there is alot of work to be done before it could even open up. talking to some friends from tech service they said there is still tons of rides needing to get parts and they are still apart in the tech shops. plus there is so much cleaning that needs to be done. i look to see it opening for the 2011 season which i hope to be part of full time. ed hart was a good choice he has saved the park once and he will do it again. i know he has big plans for the water park.

hopefully the new operator will start hiring people in because i know there is alot of work that is needing to be done before it reopens. plus i just lost my job today and i would love to get hire on in the amusement park industry full time. i really do miss working at kentucky kingdom. well the meeting is at 1pm so we will have to wait till then to find out who the new operator will be.

Here is a link from the news saying kentucky kingdom will not open this year. There is still a rally on saturday at 11 at the front gate. http://www.fox41.com/Global/story.asp?S=12443263 ADMIN EDIT: I have updated the link so it takes readers directly to the story and I have gone ahead and quoted the story so that people don't have to leave the site to see what you are referring to.

Im EXTREMELY shy and I always have the best time! this so awesome the videos are amazing to watch and see all these people that are having the time of their life and yet you would never guess they where shy. i so cant wait to get on the bus and enjoy my first tpr trip. i now know that i will fit in well cause i am so shy and nervous when it comes to meeting new people. six more weeks and counting to go.

hey so you know i was just reminded that the 11th is a sunday and the 10th is a saturday but its saturday we also figured out that if a thousand people paid to park at six dollars the fair board would make six thousand dollars and then this would show them and the government how much money they could be loosing

tonights meeting was kinda sad no onw from the government or state fair board was there tonight. there was only about about 20 in attendence tonight. there was mention of the rumor that they want to make it a casino/ amusement park. which we where all against. tim childress led the event dont really know who he is just that he wants to get all of the former employees job back. though i am still concerned about his knowledge of everything because when i mention mark shapiros name he ask me who was he. one thing is that we are all gathering at the front gate on saturday the 11th at 11 and the 24th at 11 the reason we are doing it on the 24 is that is when the park was suppose to open. the whole idea of doing this is to show the state fair board and potental buyers that we want the park to open we are hoping to have at least a couple of thousand people to show up and that we havent lost confidence in the rides like childress said. if you guys got any questions just ask and i will share what i know.
