A lot of people PMed us and asked if we were going to have one in mid-June... people generally said they still had school or that they couldn't go because of such short notice. It simply wasn't worth organizing the event if only 3 people were on the roster. We'll have several this year... don't worry. Ryan

Due to the request of several members, the meeting day for this Wenesday has been cancelled and will be resheduled for mid-June. Sorry for any inconvenience. Ryan

Haven't gotten to ride it yet this season, but I'm glad it's back!!

This is probably the most repeated topic about PKI on the net with the exception of the PKI vs. CP thing. I'm surprised the mods let this slide. (Where are you on this one, sparky?? )

^ It looks like we finally agree on something, Amber. Although I do love rides like TR:TR and Congo, Delirium is, hands down, one of the best experiences I've ever had on a flat.

Saying that it's a puddle with a waterfall is like saying the Grand Canyon is a just a hole in the ground. This is an excellent place for adults to relax and kids to play. It definitely gives CDBB a "resort" feeling.

My vote goes for Nick Central. It has better themeing and is more modern than HBL. It doesn't feel like a carnival-style kiddy land like HBL sometimes does.

^ That's true, but it's also a matter of appropriation. I mean, we know what kind of activity and dancing goes on at a dance club. It's really not a place for a 12 year old to be. They're just trying to keep the right events with the right age groups.

My guess is simply to flaunt the fact that you're not holding on. While we're on this note, has anyone kept their hands up all the way down on The Beast's hill? I always inherently draw my hands down right before entering the tunnel because it seems like it's low clearance. Does anyone else do that?

That's actually the correct answer. They're completely different coaster with the same name.

Dane I already knew that wasn't Paul Hogan. Dane's mad because I proved him wrong.... again.

Topic has been split! "Weird items found on e-bay" in discussion. Please post in the correct threads. Thanks, Ryan

Not Paul Hogan. He's Paul Hogan's stuntman, Rob Champion.

Dane's my friend. Don't ever say something terrable about him like that again.

The temperature effects wood coasters too. It's held together by steel nails/bolts/whatever which, on a small scale, either push or pull the wood together or apart. On a large scale, that can determine how turbulent the ride will be. Good post, but none of this is exactly groundbreaking.

That is the real Paul Hogan, but we hired actors to play the PKIU staff. Nah, that's Hogan's stunt man.

Never happened. That's a doctored photo.

Well, the staffs of both pages decided to have a 2 on 2 challenge on the racing slides. After several false starts (if you've ridden them yet, you know why that happens), PKIU's "Rocket" SoBTom came out ahead. Better luck next time! Afterwards, we all stoped for a group photo with Crocodile Dundee himself. (photo by Chris Tyson) And to think, you guys thought we all hated each other! Ryan

Simply put, it would be cheaper that way.

I was just watching the news and they were talking about a new guidbook to attractions in the USA, and PKI tied with CP for best amusement park. Newport on the Levee was the best shopping center.

I have noticed that it has been closed a lot in the past few weeks. It's just simply out of place being in Nick Central and not in CDBB. Of course, foul weather and a lack of employees has been a problem with PKI this season, so that's probably the reasoning.

I can't, in my wildest dreams, imagine getting whiplash from Taz. Are you sure you didn't have a preexisting condition? Regardless, I'm glad to hear that you're ok now. So the park wasn't that crowded Saturday? I was over in CDBB taking my half of our 167 pic update, and there were insane amounts of people there. I thought maybe it was just from the novelty of BB, but I looked into the parkinglot and it was just a sea of cars! I originally intended to ride some stuff, take the pics, and head over to the dry park, but instead I rode the new attractions, took a few hundred pics, and when my camera ran out of batteries, I went home. lol Regards, Ryan

I am fairly certain that all of the water in the wet attractions is treated in some way. For example, if WWC wasn't treated, then all of the runoff from the land, which would include animal feces would all just be sitting there. On some days, that would be still water. This would be a bacteria haven. It would be a good way to get hepatitus or cholera. Ever gotten creek water on a bleeding cut and not had the chance to wash it off? More than likely it got infected. Fortunately, the human body (when healthy) has a heck of an immune system, but results could be deadly in a worse case scenario. Basically what I'm saying is that if it's not chlorinated (or treated in some way) it's probably tested daily to make sure that there isn't some kind of bacterial infestation. I'd put my money on that it's treated with chemicals, though.

^ Don't get me wrong, I don't want to play down Coney at all. Sometimes I go there just to kind of hang out and walk around. Especially before Riverbend concerts. Plus they have a couple of carnie-style that you can't find at PKI. A lot of fun on a day when you feel like having a relaxing time at a park and it seems like PKI will be crowded. It's especially good for corperate picnics and summer conventions. Anyway, back on topic. It would be cool if the did theme AZ a little more. Maybe have some realistic statues throughout the area that looked like studio lights and stuff like that.... I just think they went in the right direction the first year and then just kind of stopped. I still really do like the area, though. Ryan

Beast hands down. I don't feel as though i really need to say why.
