CoasterBuzz Podcast: Live with CF CEO Dick Kinzel this Sunday!

I had no way of hearing this or seeing this in anyway. Could someone put up a transcription of what was said?

You could wait for the podcast to get posted...

It will be posted on Wednesday on http://podcast.coasterbuzz.com/

Wednesday? Why so late? Does it need to be approved by CF or are you just extremely busy?

Because that's when I feel like posting it.

Good job Jeff. That was fun, other than the rude group of people sitting in the back upstairs belching at the beginning.

Sheesh, Jeff. I just asked. All the casts have been posted on Sundays & Mondays. I was just curious as to why this one isn't coming til Wednesday.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Podcast, Jeff. We had some rude people up with us on the balcony, but after a couple glares they seemed to take a hint and left.

Were those your mics that flaked out or the parks? ;)

Jeff has done a very excellent job with the Podcast so far.

Sorry, my bad. I never really understood what a Podcast was.

I attended the session and stood in the back with my baby daughter. Nice job, Jeff, and thanks for letting us know here so that we could attend the recording.

Been following the threads here, on WWL, and Skyhawk. Was I reading too much into what Mr. Kinzel said when he responded to the WWL question and said something like, "We know the public likes flumes?" I know we've heard talk about a water coaster before--about the same time they announced MaXair. I wouldn't be surprised to see a water coaster go in where WWL was. (BTW, how many folks will use Skyhawk as a drying machine after the water rides?)

At any rate, just wanted to express my thanks to Jeff. From where I was, I could see the large number of CP employees (from security folks to someone who worked in a shop on the Trail to Tyler to Mr. Hildebrandt, etc.) who just popped in and listened. I've always been impressed by Mr. K's down-to-earth attitude and willingness to stop and chat with folks on the midway. He doesn't have to, but he does, and it certainly is good for PR. Really enjoyed the half hour.

The mics belonged to the park, and mine just had a battery die. No worries. That'll get edited out. :)

I think the logical replacement for WWL would be another water ride, and to this day I don't understand why we haven't seen more of those Premier Rides coaster/flume hybrids, or even something like Journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld. I can only hope that's really what he's after.

Jeff you really did a great job on this one. Every question was a good one. Every one of his replies were good ones too.

Being a huge TTD fan, I wish he would've gone further with the frustrations with the ride, but I'll live.

It did clear up two things:
-WWL sits on a very nice piece of land.
-CF doesn't hate wooden coasters. (They're looking at an Intamin???)

God knows what those two things will conjure up this offseason.

Best Podcast to date.

Is there a written transcript of the podcast available? Kinzel made mention of flume rides and I'd like to revisit that but it would take much less time to have it in written form.
