You realise Holiday World is practically in a forest/heavily wooded area - how could burning anything wood that's near it be okay?

Why would a flame thrower make any sense to the theme.

^thunderbird station is in a open area btw so exit the station some fire can go up it may blow towards the forest but shouldn't have to worry

Not really my point. If it "may burm down anything wood near it" (sic) how is that "ok"?

it will make rick happy

I'll let Rick tell me that himself.

Um. No.

Obviously woods =/= flame thrower so it would be out anyway, but how does "Thunderbird" = flame thrower?

Besides that, I remember riding Bizzarro @ great adventure on a 90+* day, the flame thrower was not a welcomed piece of scenery.

flamethrower is always welcome in my book.
FIRE!

Instead of fences just have Tesla Coils to strike down any stragglers that get close to the ride - much more apt theming.

wooden coasters sometimes have flame throughers

If you're six flags and had some left over, then everything get's flamethrowers. I wouldn't be surprised if the hot dog stand got one son

Holiday World would be the LAST park to ever install a flamethrower. Considering of their 4 Official Coasters, 3 of them are wood...

No more flamethrowers please! Not even for Six Flags. That was a Mark Shapiro thing, and thank God he is long gone from the company.

But fire is a good thing
