lucky you.. our last day is this thursday.

a lot of the time guests dont mind more unfortunate guests to go ahead of them but if you fake it.. then thats just wrong. if you are able to wait in the cues, you should.

ride ops job is to tell them to put it out. if they don't and hassle you about it.. then you can get security in on it. mostly when you are in uniform, they listen to you because they know they can get in trouble. i usually have no problems with getting people to stop unless i'm not in uniform.

FOF was closed because of maintenance... it was not a fun day.

most smokers do respect other people's choices. unfortunately the ones i ran into on Sunday were quite rude. I went and rode rides after work so i wasnt in uniform and this guy was smoking in Racer's line. I politely asked him to put it out because I'm an asmatic. Instead of being polite, he blew smoke in my face. I almost died, it was so rude. I tried to get supervisor Adam's attention but he couldnt hear me and by that time, the guy was lost in line. Ugh.

the first time i rode DZ, i started freaking out but the more i ride it, its not as scary. i still love it though! i always have to make my friends ride it coz they are wimps...

no brad you're just a pansy is all.. hahaha we have no life? well, yeah i'll admit that i dont but thats a given. and for the record, i speak to members of the oppposite sex regularly.

i rode TR:TR on saturday for the first time. i tell you what, thats a great ride. i was scared to death, screaming my little head off. so my list also has changed since the season started... 1. Zephyr 2. TR:TR 3. Delirium 4. Bumper Cars! (hahaha) 5. Drop Zone the more i ride Delirium and Drop Zone, the better it gets. However, the bumper cars rule coz you get to ram people! YESSSS!

Also, as a ride op.. if I ever see or smell smoke - I stop it. If FOF has extra people, we usually send people into the cue areas and play a little game i like to call "handrail nazi" which includes telling people to stop smoking. PKI tries their best to keep it under control but there is only so much you can do. FOF had a slight problem with smoking a couple weeks ago, and it gets ugly... but there we did what we could. Its just common courtesy for non-smokers not to smoke in line... but i dont think the park should be smoke free. Thats not fair to smokers.

wait, im confused? free fear fest admission? i work there.. what are the questions.

i take i 75 on the way home and i havent seen any billboards. im so unobservant. where exactly is it located so i can look for it!

at least it wasnt pouring like last weekend. now that would stink if you were by yourself in a storm like that.

ok, math and science day sucked. partially because FOF broke down a lot. the train got stuck in the launch tunnel... and it was just bad all around. but zephyr as always was running smoothly and was quite a relief after the mayhem at FOF. oh well, just another day at PKI

maybe the person just got confused because we were talking about FOF and Zephyr being a ride pair. Still, no one said it was a flat.. prolly just a misunderstand. FOF is awesome, thats just my opinion.. partial or not.

You are totally right dragon. Its no big deal, the park on a friday night during this time is going to be busy regardless. So it doesnt matter about how long the lines are, they are going to be long anyways. Chill. Edit: Lets try incorporating capitalization into our post next time.

hey, i never said he was my friend just kidding...maybe.

thats a good idea bout fearfest. i think it was poorly planned also. since my class is going, i know a lot of schools are leaving way before 6pm for one reason or another. like i said before, there isnt much we can do about it now.. so just make the best of it. have fun on friday!!

i am partial to pt because back in my sister's employee days.. that was her ride. she loved it for some reason. i haven't riden SDATHC yet :gasp: and i wasnt around for the other two! (although smurfs are awesome anyways!)

my class is going to math and science day so i know that it ends at 6pm. however, i do not think they are going to close the park down and then reopen - too much hastle. maybe it was just a mixup and no one realized the two dates coinside until after everything was planned. oh well, what can we do now right?

were either of you there on April 19, about 5PM? I think i saw you i was there all day... gosh forbid. im the shorty midget one that looks like she hates the world.

yeah, FOF is a coaster... but Zephyr and FOF are a ride pair. So we work both rides. Top 5 Favorite... 5. Shake-Rattle-Roll 4. Dogdem 3. Delirium 2. Scrambler 1. Zephyr.. of course. i really need a life.. hahaha..

BRAD!!! ITS ME, BRENDA FROM YOUR CREW!!! HIIIIIII!!!!!!!! You are a weirdo, hahaha.. but at least you understand my thoughts on the best flat ride at PKI, Zephyr. Its relaxing and its pretty to ride when the lights are on. By the way, you do look like Harry Potter.. except taller.

my favorite thing i got from pki was this stuffed terry cloth frog with huge eyeballs sticking out of its head. an ex-boyfriend of mine got it for me, the frog's name is neil. i still have it... it was a couple of years ago. he won it at TURBOBLAST!

Delirium is ok.. but i still mantain that zephyr is the classic flat ride. sorry. its a FOF thing...

yeah, we got security in on it and the area managers. they tried to deny it, but we had witnesses and saw it on camera. it was bad because at first it was the smoking.. and after that we had the line jumping problem; one right after the other. the other guests in the line were getting mad, thats why it sucked.
