Looney Tunes Boomtown became Kidworks with the Road Runner Express called the Beaver Land Mine Ride. For example, Superman Ultimate Flight saw its sign, and Superman references removed in favor of Steel Venom, the name used on the Intamin Impulse Coaster at Valleyfair, another Cedar Fair property. Cedar Fair did not have the rights to DC Comics and the Looney Tunes, leading to a very quick renaming of rides and removal of IP references. It was shuttered, and most of it demolished before 2005. The transition did not go smoothly, as Cedar Fair did not retain any animals on the ex-SeaWorld side, known as the Wild Side. Then, after the 2003 season, the park was sold to Cedar Fair, owner of Cedar Point, in early 2004 ![]() First, Six Flags purchased SeaWorld Ohio, located across the lake, merging both parks into Six Flags World of Adventure in 2001. When they go out there, they also learn about whats new in the park, and what role they might have to play if something ever happened on a ride.Batman Knight Flight was well received throughout its years at the park, which saw many changes. Usually they repel down from the top of the column inside FoF for drill. Don't believe be? ask around, I guarantee someone in the park knows about it, since the USAR team drills at PKI at least once a year. I know guys from our department who did it, becuse first they had all the guys ride the ride, and then they did the simulated drill of actually removing people form the ride, using dummies. ![]() They made the USAR team do this as a drill, the first spring that the team was around. and they have to rig ropes at the top on anchor points, climb/repel down the side of the ring, put harnesses on each person, and release their harness, haul them back to the top, and then send them down the elevator. The USAR team brings out all of their gear, which is stored on a tractor trailer similar to say a Pepsi truck, at a fire station in Sycamore Twp. They bring them down two at a time, and it is mandatory that in this situation, PKI gets Masonand or deerfield fire departments who in turn, get a Hamilton County USAR acitvation. The elevator is used in an emergency to get people down off the ring, if it were to ever get stuck at the top. Yeah I'm sure this is one case where you guys are wrong. The elevator is SOLEY used for maintenance to get to the top of the tower. Since no fire truck in the world is tall enough to reach the top. Just some things that come to mind with the redesign idea. I think this is a requirement for a ride that tall that doesn't have a stairwell since no fire truck in the world is tall enough to reach the top, therefore the only other option for rescue would be helicopter, costing PKI lots of $$$$$ and also the conditions have to be right for a chopper to fly. if they put the motor at the bottom instead of the top, then isn't that going to require a whole lot more extra cable for the cradle to be pulled to the top? Doesn't that cable have to be replaced every so often? Also, if you change the current design and put the motor at the bottom with the calbes running up through the middle, where are you gonna put the elevator for emergencies at? The current design has it running up the center of the colum, accessible through the porthole at the bottom of the tower. ![]() I think the current design for DZ is the best one. It would be so much easier to maintain, and I do believe that its that way with Dominions DZ, maybe Im wrong but it would be easier. ![]() But if they did build a taller one, make it right!!! Put the motor at the bottom of the tower instead of the top, you could run the cables through the tower, out the top and connect it to the catch car. With the height of the tower right now as it is, it already has its problems. ![]()
