Nickelodeon Slime Zone.. it's gotta be.

Not PARKS necessarily, but definitely PKI. 1/3 of the people who visit PKI are passholders, and that's why they need to take such good care of them.

Cal - welcome back, buddy. You've probably noticed that we now have community forums. Posts like this go in there now. Thanks.

Who's that?

This is getting a little old, so I'm going to close it. We'll have postings again once the job fair draws closer. Good luck on the math test.

TeenageNinja has come back from the dead to send all of you a new Italian Job Stunt Track constrcution update! There is now a lot of track in the parking lot, as well as supports, and other various construction building blocks for this Hollywood-inspired thrill machine. Click here to check out his photos!

Holy mother of..... $100,000,000 for Expedition Everest????

After having to do one of the biggest moderation sessions in the history of forums, I've come to the conclusion that you guys are all suffering from some sort of menacing withdraw. Keep it clean, people.

I still think people will be eating their words once they ride IJST.

Ha... that reminds me of my old idea (you can pitch it to the park, but I want credit) of having everyone take an IQ test upon entering the park, if you get below a 70, then you have to stay in HBL.

PKI.com has just updated with a few more IJST construction pictures showing more and more structure and themeing. Click here to check it out! A special thanks goes out to Delirium13 for spotting this first. Ryan

The sad part is, you're probably right. It has happened before.

I'd imagine he walked around the park with a camera and took pictures, another employee benefit. The pics were sent to us by Steve Boehmker, who works PR for the park. You may remember him as the creator of the scavanger hunts for The Beastbuzz and Fall Freakout events. He kindly took the time out of his day to walk through the blistering cold to get these pics for all of you to enjoy.

I'm actually willing to say that it's weather related.

Yep, I love FoF's line, same with Tomb Raider. No, it was a recurring smell on hot days. I'm about 95% sure it was coming from the sewer near Deli's entrance.

The bathrooms and the pathways aren't bad, it's just the trash cans in the queue lines that get a little full a little too often. Overall, they do a pretty good job.

They can stop you from the ground, but they can't stop you from the sky!

Heck, I work at Best Buy and people mess up my displays all the time. Why not let anyone touch anything? Sorry, but with every job, there's some down side to it that seems as preventable as possible, but when it all comes down to it, it's not about the employee who doesn't feel like sweeping, it's about what the customer wants. Now, do some people break the rules? Yes. But if you ask someone to put out a cigarette 5 times and they don't, why not throw them out? Don't get me wrong, I think that PKI houses some of the greatest employees in the world, but I ask the rest of you [non-employees] this: if they did do a blanket ban on smoking, I can pretty much guess that people would find ways to smoke or drink there anyway. Can most of you predict that we'd have a loose-loose situation with the employees saying that since most people break the rules anyway, they're tired of telling people not to smoke and drink anyway so they should allow it again? I mean seriously, I think PKI has world class employees, and have always felt like I have had world class service there, but all of that can change really quickly if you think that guests should conform to the employees instead of the employees serving the guests.

I just noticed that I'm having the same problem on this computer at school. I'm not the greatest programmer in the world, but it looks like a simple fix. I'll let Dane know.

I wouldn't swear to this, but I've heard that they were actually bought by Vekoma.

If anyone wants to meet up, I'm going to be waiting at the entrance to the Shooting Star.

I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, any fish that lives around here can survive in the pocket of water that is under the late. It's very unlikely that the entire pond would be frozen from the top to the ground. Actually, it could be anywhere in the rehab process by now! They should add one of those pointy things that they had on the front of trains that were intended to deflect cows. It would probably work for snow too.

Done.
