  1. I keep forgetting to post this, but I just did remember. So here goes. Yesterday, (sunday). I went on break at about 4:30... I walked to Coney 3, my girlfriend's area, to pay her a visit... on the way there, I saw a maintainance guy carrying a long white board. I thought nothing of it. After I had talked to her, I walked to Oscar's... i walked past the entrance to the Antique Cars, and they were stopped. I found it peculiar, as I had never seen them closed before. I kept walking, and when I got a little further, there was a car sitting in the grass. At this point I was slightly confused... I walked a litte further to see that, low and behold, a car had derailed. It was sitting to the opposite side from which it left the track. The board the guy was carrying was to replace the fence around the outside, which had been shattered. I have tried every time I rode those things to derail it, and every time, it failed. Somebody got lucky and actually did it. Anyway, There was a slight crowd around the scene, and I found it amusing... I asked the security guard who seemed to be there out of his own amusement if anyone was hurt, and he said he didnt think so. But I just thought i'd share.
  2. So you're saying they're trying to blow us away by making us think that Delirium is the big ride for next year when actually there is something better coming, as in a coaster of some sort?
  3. So they are going the cheap way, and not replacing the track? that's crap.
  4. the wheel thingys are sitting outside, behind the JSI thing in front of oscars, in that area back there... And each of them has their own rotational motor, to the best of my recollection... i'm taking pictures this weekend, so yeah...
  5. I thought the people drowned in the lake by The Beast... and the guy who originally was in didn't die, but 2 people who tried to rescue him did.
  6. I'll take pictures, and we'll see who's right...
  7. They wouldn't put it back there... it might disturb The Beast... and the train, and White water canyon. plus, its close to The Vortex... I say new coaster in 04 behind FOF
  8. It is a pretty large clearing, I just saw it today. but they could be cleaning house.
  9. Let me be the one to say SPONGE BOB SUCKS!!!!!!!
  10. people people people, where's the love in this world? people people people, where's the love in this world? Cuz we're all brothers and sisters, we all look the same, so why wont... nevermind that part. but seriously... if people want to make something of a shrub, then I shall say NI!
  11. i like the rock shop... i have a belt from there
  12. What used to be where Shake, Rattle, and Roll is? Because that's definately not it in the picture of The Bat...
  13. The park wasn't busy today... I walked on Drop Zone during my break. And while we're talking about Delirium, The footers will be poured this week. The holes have been dug, and the steel rods are in place. one of them is less then 20 feet from Ice Cream Zone... they tore up part of our service area... there's 4 footers, i saw that from DZ. oddly enough, the ride is very close to the edge of the KC footprint... you'd expect it to be in the middle... so i think there's going to be a path behind slingshot and stuff. hurry up and wait i guess. also, the part of the sidewalk leading up to the festhaus is going to be torn down, it is marked.
  14. I like it... There's not that many suspendeds around, so we need to keep it... If KI is a family park as you all claim, it had better stay around, because its a good stepping stone for kids.
  15. Its so great to be 16... the only full week I worked before the season ended, I did something like 31 hours... and I know that thats not extremely high...
  16. Haven't seen any... they probably keep those indoors.
  17. Yeah... but... I dunno... I just don't think it can be too much different. The aero change can't be bad... The cars are shaped about the same... and its pretty round... I think it would work fine, it just won't happen.
  18. but it can't take much work, as SFA is only doing it for a month
  19. That Celebrity Slaughter thing seemed kinda dumb... I didn't hear too much of it, but I was working kinda close to it... (AZ carts operates the carts on either side of the karaoke stage)... I think they killed off britney spears and lenny kravitz...
  20. Hmmm.... thats quite interesting... i bet if they put their minds to it, KI could do it in a week... I just don't think they will...
  21. Well... I still haven't given up on a new path... i think there will almost definately be one from the TG/SOB queues down to coney next to slingshot... for a scenic view of the frisbee and stuff... The frisbee is definately going in the kc spot, as there is a sign up in front of the fence.
  22. I didn't take the time to read the whole thread, but I assume you're talking about retrofitting with Vekoma trains... And so the wheel thing would be irrelevant I believe, because I dont think you can do a suspended floorless, so it would become just an invert. and so it would line up every time because the shocks wouldnt be a factor. If this has already been discussed, i apologize.
  23. yeah, and also, for idiots like me, PKIU is PKI university... and its right behind the picnic grove.
