Kinematics Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Curious as to whether or not KD has onsite employee housing. I worked Valleyfair this summer and lived in their onsite housing and am looking to travel. Yes, there is onsite housing, but it is usually reserved for international workers during the summer. I have yet to meet someone who lives in the U.S. who worked at the dorms, but you can double check with HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeansproutMidget Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 So...anyone seen that dead raccoon pic circulating about? Apparently, this raccoon was in the structure of Volcano, jumped out, and got severed in half during the second launch Can someone confirm this or something? *insert Raptor'd reference here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always starts to stink in the mountain towards the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmanscool Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've noticed the water in the Shenandoah Lumber Company log flume has been really yucky lately and the ride looks like it hasn't been well taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MIntaminGCI Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've seen a better photo of it on another forum, but yikes, I would be mortified if that happened while I was on the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, and they really should test (Well, what's left of) that raccoon for diseases. Edited October 13, 2015 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I saw the other picture as well. KD is really going all out for The Haunt this year I guess. Jokes aside I feel bad for those on the train when it happened and especially the employee(s) who had to deal with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peck Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Planning a trip to the park this weekend (Friday and Saturday). I've only been twice in my life: 2000 and 2009. We have Platinum passes and the dining plan. What advice can you guys give me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're doing Haunt on Saturday, get Fright Lane Plus, as the park will be insanely busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 In response to the help thus far... - not sure if we will do the Haunts. If we do, which ones are best? (please no ones that are completely blacked-out—I broke my glasses at KI's "Blackout" by walking into a wall face-first.) - I like log flumes, but the wife doesn't... how wet do you get?

coasterbill Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Honestly not too wet. It's a perfect ride for a fall day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disownedpear Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Doing the Haunt this Friday. Never done it on a Friday, what are the crowds like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 ^It's usually the best night to go when it comes to crowds. When in doubt, get Fright Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotOneOfYou Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Will a new term be coined for when an animal gets hit by a train? Volcano'd anyone? Or is Raptor'd a universal term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_s Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 ^^-- I saw a very close call of a squirrel on Dominator's track, but of course an inverted makes it worse. Turns out the little buildings scattered around the park are for the Skeleton Keys, rather than tacking something on to the existing maze. I can't afford it but went in the one next to Feary Tales during a moment of confusion or something. It was very cool, might even say Busch Gardens level of detail. Not sure if there's supposed to be some action -- I think I was startle-scared by a guest not an employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Sorry if I've missed anything, but I'm assuming there has been no dismantling of Shockwave so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) ^As of last Saturday, it was still there, untouched. There is a sign advertising Delirium in front of it, though. Edited October 15, 2015 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 My partner and I are thinking about going this sunday, not really for the haunt stuff, but for the coasters. I saw the park opens at 10:30 am. That is when we were thinking of getting to the park. I know for us Floridians it will be ungawdly cold sunday. My question is, how busy will it be during the daytime ? As cold as it is supposed to get in the evening, we most likely will be gone as darkness approaches when the haunt stuff starts. It will be just way tooooo cold for us. Is the daytime packed or not ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 ^If you get there at opening, you should have no problem riding everything more than once, especially if it's a Sunday. Tip: Hit up Volcano first! ^^I remember seeing somewhere that the trains were removed, along with the chain lift. But yeah the actual ride itself is still in one piece. They'll probably start dismantling it once the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
