Kentucky Kingdom to reopen as Bluegrass Boardwalk in 2013, operated by Koch family

^Drink it with 'lotsa' ice. It will help you tomorrow.

I can see people complaining about season pass prices at BB, if they do in-fact offer them - thanks to Six Flags giving away cheap passes.

Anyone been on Day-Looge? It's supposed to be a great ride.

What kind of condition are Twisted *s really in, aside from being short a couple of trains? I mean, they've got galvanized steel construction, so structurally they should be okay; the track probably needs some work (I remember Lola having that same problem as the Villain, where the train bounced down the first drop...) but how extensive even is that?

I think it was here that someone (gator?) commented that OzCat was as good as dead, and that one went SBNO a year later. Didn't know a steel vs. wooden structure made that much of a difference.

Glad to see something happen for this park. 2013 also sounds about right for a KI addition. Good year for the area.

I saw a Bluegrass Boardwalk that said they will add several new attractions so just confirming new attractions will be added.

Just to clarify everything, will the abbreviation be BB or BGB?

I think the rules of nomenclature require "BgB"...

:) I'm doing surprisingly well. I think eating Chinese food before I went to sleep did the trick.

What exactly are "Kentucky People"?

People in Kentucky ;)

That reminds me of a great joke...

What do you call a gay guy who flies an airplane?

A Pilot.

I was gonna go with "Steve", but then again it was just a wild guess... ;)

I went on it my only visit in '07. It was my first and only water coaster. Thought it was OK at best. I imagine rides like Wildebeest and Mammoth are/will be much more thrilling and fun.

Deluge was the most disapointing of all the water coasters I've ridden. Though it's a short list. Castaway Bay, Kalahari in Sandusky, Holiday World, and of course Deluge at KK. I'll be ridding Master Blaster at Schlitterbahn in Galveston Island in a few months.

Think about new, freshly constructed and painted Pepsi Oasis' ... mmmmm...

[url][url]An interesting tidbit from the Bluegrass Boardwalk blog: http://bluegrassboardwalk.com/baby-steps/ While it definitely seems their enthusiasm is there, it doesn't sound like everything is necessarily a fully done deal as far as financing, unless I am mis-interpreting something.

They mentioned at the original press conference that they still needed to secure some financing. But, they also expressed extreme confidence that they would be able to obtain it.

I guess as a "casual follower" I missed that. Thank you Jason.
