I agree. PKI is in great need for a skyride. One of my favorite attractions that I also think is missing (now that PKI took it out) is a Skylab. Those things are awesome to ride. Plus, its a good attention grabber.
-
Hey, I want one of those hard to get 2001 passes! Those can be auctioned on Ebay for a lot of money Bobby! Comeon Think about the possibilities!
-
My bad. I just like calling it Pie Town.
PS. Bobby, we are gonna be seeing each other probabily on a routine basis this summer. This would be a bad time to start splitting hairs.
-
I can never keep Pietown in the right order, although I was trained at every pie.
-
On BAFFD, I think we had a hour wait for the wheelchairs at our exit to get on! Can someone please slap some sense into PKI marketing and make sure the park is overstaffed that day? I went to clean up some garbage (piled literally 4 ft. tall) when I came in, and got to it at about 10 that night.

Ok Dane, I have one just like yours, but its not as funny...
SOB goes down for rain for about 1 1/2 hrs. Noone in the station and the line is cut off. Anyway, the rain goes down to barely raining, and my sup dares me to ride it once we get the clearance to go up. Well, we get the clearance, and I ride it in spitting rain. I get back with a bunch of welts. No wonder noone else was on the train!
-
From what I get from the station theming is that there was a mining detail that went "tto far" and awoken The Beast. The theming is in the station (the big water tower) and also going around the first turn if you look to your right you will see a mine cart and what appears to be a mine shaft.
-
As will I, but sometimes you have to move onto bigger and better things. Anyway, you should see some of them next year. Unless you did what I did and my girlfriend is still on SOB/Gun so I wont be getting sent over there!
-
Cyoung, I think PKI solved the problem with Bring a Friend Free days. Remind me to schedule dentist appointments for that day.
-
Heh. I can see the record now: Congrats to the Delium crew for hitting 10 cycles! Congratulations!
-
The only reason I buy on ride pics is if they are friends/family that I see once in a blue moon. Other than that, Im up at the park so much that I dont bother with them.
-
Well, I agree with the scheduled chats, but with some of the boards/chat rooms that I have seen, the chat room just doesnt work out very well if its open. Noones ever in it to chat.
-
Going on two years of service.
Flyer, I will agree with ya, switching from coaster to flat is nice, especially if you went to TRTR last year (at least thats how I thought). After working two coasters awhile, it gets kinda boring, but then you look at who is riding the coasters, talk, have a good laugh, and its fun again.
-
I believe that Vortex isnt themed at all. The only theming on the coaster is the old Bat station.
-
The band I would love to be in Timberwolf would be Metallica, but I dont see it happening. Bring back Jars of Clay and I will be happy.
-
The real record was over at Top Gun. I was driving, Ben Ward and Ben Bayes were on the floor switching every so often. The record (with both trains)...39. Missed 40 by about a half a second.
Edit: average with both trains is 25-30

Alright, just think for a moment. You just got strapped into a seat, and you have never heard about this ride before. You flip up and hang pointed towards the ceiling. It takes a moment for your brain to orient itself enough to be able to tell what is above you. Same with the lava pit. Its not about realising where you are per se, its just a break to keep your brain from overloading.
-
You know when PKI is gonna bring up the webcam again? I enjoyed watching Reptar srping up on it. Also, any word about a Delium update on the site?
-
What ride are you at Roscoe?
-
They were actually selling the patches to Gun last year in wardrobe. If you could get your hands on one of those, and a nice polo shirt that goes along with it, all you would need to do is sew it onto the shirt.
-
For some people who ride TR it might take them a minute to orient themselves before they realise that they are hanging blow ice or over lava. Just because you might get it in a second doesnt mean that everyone who rides that ride gets it immediately. You have to give everyone in the GP the same look at it, no matte how long it takes them to get it.
-
Lengthen the ride? Its already one of the longest rides in the park. Its 2 minutes 30 seconds long. I timed it myself. Its a very long ride. So I wouldnt be complaining about length.
-
Honestly, I do not think that the programming was changed that dramatically. What I heard was that for the most part the programming was left alone in the ride area, but I could be mistaken.
-
First thing I will do is clock in, then I will press my buttons, let people in on the ride, and then do it again all day long.
Long live ride ops!

If you really look, construction has stepped up a lot. The parts have been on site for awhile, but no vertical construction. Now things are going up. I call that an improvement!
