I don't think he was really trying to take "shots" at us and our park directly, he was just trying to make a point..... :roll:

1. Our park has always been better attendance and quality then yours, yes, even in your "glory days" :roll:

2. If raging bull, v2, and batman were taken out, our park would still be high attendence. Look what happens to yours when your top atractions are removed.

Face it. Our park was and always will be better then yours. Sorry.

I'm not saying the SFGAm is bad and etc, and I don't believe it is. I'm just saying the SFKK was not maintained like the other Six Flags parks such as great america. If you all have been to this park like most of you all have been to Great America, or Kings Island, you would know exaclty what I'm talking about comparing our park to yours. Our park used to attract many from all over the country.

BTW, our park used to make 20,000 visitors b4 it was a six flags park every saturday. Last year our attendance was just about 8,000 visitors every saturday.

If Chang don't come back to kentucky kingdom, All we have is T2! the worst SLC ever built! and also Twisted Twins and Mile High Falls which Six Flags has closed off for the past 2 season since the STOP accident. I really don't think Six Flags is sure about whats going to be in the spot besides the waterpark and the parking lot at GAm. What if the Judge says Chang has to go back to Kentucky Kingdom? Then does that mean you all will get Bonzai Beach if their was actually going to be one at Kentucky Kingdom?

The legal battle states that Chang was removed under false pretenses, and the state fair wants it back. It's the only thing good about KK.

Kentucky Kingdom is closed for the 2010 season. The park will reopen with better ownership in 2011. I heard Ed Hart is getting the park back which he tried to do in 2008, but Six Flags didn't accept the offer, they said it was too low of a offer. This summer the park will be getting a make over with TLC, something the park really needs since nothing has been done since 1998! If chang doesn't come back their will still be a water park exspanion next year if their were actual plans for a waterpark exspanion.

You sound like a whining baby.

No matter what, our park WILL get a big addition next year.

Whatever we get, I'm sure someone will still be unpleased. Including myself. I do want Chang, but you know what, I'll take what we get, because I want the best for our park.

I do hope Ed Hart gets the park back, as he really makes it a good park, I'm sure if Ed Hart gets the park, you'll see a ride LIKE Chang get put up, maybe something prototypic, from Vekoma, like the Kneeling Coaster.

In the reports I have read thus far, NOWHERE does it say the board wants Chang back. They simply said it was removed under false pretenses which is BS. They can't prove Six Flags did not intend to replace Chang. Until they part ways in an amicable way, Chang has to remain where it is I guess. Don;t forget we have little room for Chang and we still need permits before it can even be put back together. I honestly have a gut feeling Chang will open at Six Flags Great America in April/May 2011.

Your right, but Six Flags said that they promised improvments where chang once stood to the KFEC when they ask to take it out, thats either building and paying for Bonzi Beach, or giving Chang back. If they give Chang back, you all prolly have a waterpark espansion if the espansion was real.

The LONG legal process will decide that. In the end, I see SF paying the board a decent amount to make the lawsuit go away/get Chang.

At this time, I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to sit back and watch the comments come in, and see what people have to say about it.

Brain why would u post a pic of Chang at a crane compnay in Kentucky? Obviously u did not go there recently and take this pic. But u were at the park this Saturday. So why does Great America have a few track pieces now? Are they bringing them in little by little?

Why did Brian only take a picture of it and mention it? How hard is it to see? It's not like he went to a restricted area? So what area by Eagle can store Chang?
