Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread

I really feel that both sides are just being big babies. Yeah, Six Flags did some shady stuff in promising a water park expansion to take Chang, but the Fairgrounds and Louisville wanted NOTHING to do with the park when the chick got her feet cut off, so why do they have the rights to the place now?!?!

Elissa is wise. This totally sums it up. The only people that are going to win here are the lawyers on both sides, who are going to rake in the cash in what is likely to be a very long battle.

I have to agree with the idea about the wording of the contract, although I'm kinda siding with Six Flags on basis that they were still given permission to remove Chang. If SF was allowed to remove a ride on the land owned by the state fairgrounds, then isn't the ride itself now owned by SF because it is no longer on state fairground property?

Well Six Flags did promise a water park expansion in exchange for removing Chang. So if the rides do belong to the board and if they put the deal in writing than it will only help the board.

Correct me if I am wrong but Six Flags was in control of all ride and park maintenance at the time of the accident. Why would the people who leased the land and rides to Six Flags be responsible for any mechanical problems with the ride. That's like saying if you walk into a leased building that is being maintained by the leasee (thank you cfc) and slip you should be able to go after the lessor when they had no control over it at the time. I would think if the ride had totally collapsed to the ground because of a problem during it's construction and Six Flags was leasing the park at the time it would come back on the Fairgrounds and whatever contractor they worked with. That kind of incident would not be a maintenance issue.

This whole mess still goes back to who's in control of what, when and to what extent. Really makes me think leasing land for any reason is a super bad idea!

^They are a little slow in Kentucky.

You're hilarious. Anyways, the expo center should just let this die and forget about the park. And if they do want to keep the park, they should STFU about SF and find a new buyer. By the way, I never cared for SFKK;it was dirty, and the staff was always rude. There are other parks to go to, but I guess they never realized that and gave up on pleasing guests.

Looking at the surface, that was a lil shady of SF to take a ride they didnt install. Personally I think the best thing is to give it back...just sayin'

[CapitalizeI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

Wasn't Chang built after Premier Parks took over?

[bgwfreak777East Coast Wes don't smell, honest.]

OK let's say you are renting a house, and you put a bunch of stuff in that house.

Then you decide to leave, all that stuff is still yours. So I can see Six Flags' point, but at the same time if say I build a deck on that house I was renting, I couldn't exactly take it with me.

^ the thing is you could take the deck with you, it would just be very impractical.

No Chang opened for the 1997 season and they didn't sell the park to Premier till after the 1997 season was over.

If they let it go their will be no more Kentucky Kingdom. Kentucky Kingdom use to be fun and not dirty until Six Flags took over. Every park isn't clean anyways, they all are about the same.

I still don't get Six Flags, When I worked their in 2008, they told everyone that the park was going to reopen Twisted Twins in 2009 and Mile High Falls too. The park was also going to have a Thomas Town Tank engine attraction in the North West Territory of the park that year, but 2009 came and nothing was there! Then in the middle of the summer of last year twisted twins trains were sent off to SFSL! What the freak is Six Flags problem? It seems they thought this all out last year! They never gave this park a chance!
