You

complain now, but had they opened KK before GK, you would've been whining

about how lazy SF is for not waiting...


I have no problem if sf opens kk after the park a week or 2, like with SUF, if

they needed some extra time to make the ride better and not rush it. But if they plan

on opening it 2 months after the park just to plant some trees, thats rediculous. The

way they are advertising this this thing and bragging about it, they should have it

opened no later then mid april....

If KK has downtime like ttd early on and

they want to close the ride for a few weeks to keep it open for the rest of hte season

like cp did, thats fine too, but theres no reason it shouldnt open around when the park

does....

It is stupid. This will be a great ride but it will be

broken all the time. That is HUGE! This ride will be better if they have lap bars

instead of OTSR's.

^ That is BY FAR your worst post ever.

But if they plan on opening it 2 months after

the park just to plant some trees

I

guess you havent looked at any of the concept art of GK? There will be shows and

other buildings...not just trees.................

Yes there is buildings, kiddy rides, shows, and

trees, but that really doesnt matter to me. The GK does look nice, and KK will blend

in good, but gadv isnt a theme park, neither is CP, i dont really care how much theming

is there, if i wanted to see a jungle id go to JP at IOA which from the looks of the

artwork is much better themed than GK will be. As far as im concerned, i dont care

about GK, if its there its there, if its not its not, but delaying KK 2 months for it

definitly isnt worth it. KK will need a break in period, like ANY new coaster, SUF did

too, so did nitro, ttd, millennium, mummy, wt, any ride does, so thats not a bash against

sf thats just a fact, how much is the question. If it takes a month or 2 like ttd and

opens in june, then the ride will not be running good until august.

It will certianly be good.

The airtime hill looks awesome, but my only complaint is that is will have shoulder

restraints, but whatever. it will still be one hell of a ride, despite the restraints.

I was actually just reading old

pointbuzz/coasterbuzz/other posts from back when ttd was a speculation to the

announcement, the bashing they got from SFfanboys is alot worse than what the

gadvers are getting now from the cpers.

I dont understand the whole

cpfanboy thing and why they are so hated. Why is sticking up for your park or pointing

out mistakes in others so wrong? I guess im considered one for liking cp the best of

anypark, but i dont see why if a cedar point person defends their park and bashes

another its so bad and there fanboys, but SF do the same thing and they dont consider

them selves fanboys and dont think that they are doing anything wrong at all?

:huh:


......Mean while the Paramount, BG, Unviversal, Disney, and other park fans sit

back and laugh why the two chains try to kill each other....

If SF is smart, they will be testing KK vigorously during the two

months before it opens in June to avoid major breakdowns. However, I don't

think waiting two months is a very good marketing strategy. There will have to be a

sign out front saying that KK is cloed like the TTD sign at CP yet people will pay

anyway and then complain that it isn't open. I can just see the angry guests

now.

If they laughed it wouldn't be Guest Relations, it would be a

group of rude employees that SF was cheap enough to hire. I sure hope SF

employees don't act that way.
