PKI Homey

"Tough talk, but can you back up your insults? I can, but then I don't insult people." "The rumor mongers took it from there."

Let the flaming begin....

I said I heard this. It means nothing factual. If someone read more into it than that, it's their own fault. Not once have I said that I know for a fact that they will return. If they return, fine. If not, I will not be hurt.

You also said the same exact thing about the Anitque Cars removal too. Besides, rumors are supposed to be fun speculation and you're trying to take all the fun out of it. You also make the assumption that this all started because of what you said. I guess you think you were the only one that thought that they might be relocated somewhere else. Wrong, it was part of the speculation that went along with the removal. Get over yourself. Ok, so now I guess it is time to get rid of the rumors section since this is obviously frowned upon.

I wouldn't pick this area, but it is likely to be relocated to Nick Central and will become the Nickelodeon Toonpike. I don't think it is a matter of whether or not they will come back, just where will they be placed.

From what I have heard, the Antique Cars will become the Nickelodeon Toonpike.

Sobrider, I like the name School of Rock: Battle of the Bands. I would go see this. These things are ususally pretty fun. Having been in a couple of battle of the bands, it is exciting from a musician's standpoint. To be up on stage and having everyone hear your music is awesome, especially if it goes over well.

Thanks for the tips, SOB/Gun Steve-O. I had already heard about sitting in the middle seat. I have done this and it seems to help. I had not heard about riding it after rain. I also kind of meant that PKI should tell people these things, maybe more people would ride it.

The shuffling of the trains is what causes the roughness on SOB.

They should have a secret revealed on how not to get beat up on SOB.

skinbag Never heard that one. Is it supposed to be funny? Sorry, Q, but it did do well. Every time I queued up for it, there was an extremely long wait. Maybe not in its' last few years, but it definitely had long lines every time I was there.

I would like to see PKI become more of a vacation destination. The problem is, if you do not go to Boomerang Bay, there's not enough in the park to do that would take more than one day.

It's Extreme Rides 2003 which features Top Thrill Dragster. It's on at 6:00 pm.

Just a reminder for Extreme Rides 2003 on the Discovery Channel tonight at 6:00 pm.

I don't expect too much more other than maybe a new AT movie or a new restaurant.

According to someone else, it will only be 40mph.

I was considering a season pass. Now, after I see what PKI is getting for next year, I am definitely getting a pass. People complain about no coaster, then gripe about it when they do build one. Guess you can't satisfy everyone. I don't care about the speed. I just want this to be a long ride, which I am guessing it will be. Hope they keep the theming up as well.

Quite the reverse, Screwball. I'm betting on the Italian Job indoor launched coaster by Premier going to PKI.

This one is a repeat, but Extreme Rides 2003, featuring Top Thrill Dragster, will be on the Discovery Channel, Monday, August 16th, at 6pm. Happy watching!

Ok. Here's the deal. I went to TV Guide.com and found these shows on tonight, August 5th, 2004. At 7:30 pm, on the Science Channel, the show Ultrascience: Ultimate Thrill Rides will be aired. At 8:00 pm, on the Travel Channel, the show Ultimate Thrill: Fast & Frightening will be aired. I have no clue if these are new or not, but I have not seen them.

For those of us whom didn't catch it, the show will be aired at August 5th at 8:00 pm. This was something I read over at coasterbuzz. Not sure which channel. Also, August 16th, Extreme Rides 2003 will be on for those of us who have not seen it. I know there is a segment on Dragster and I'm not sure what else is featured. Extreme Rides 2003 will be on the Discovery Channel. I'll try to re-post under this topic for ER2003 when the time gets closer.

Actually, the trailers are where they store the dead bodies of customers whom complain.

It could be that they are just adding a rocket coaster and not a record breaker. If this is the case, then they'll be ok with the up time. Xcelerator and Stormrunner are running fine and consistent. Plus, with the newer seats like on Dragster, they'll have no problems there either.

Hey m@ilman, I didn't know that. I wasn't trying to underplay the importance of reporting something to guest relations. I was just saying that if only one person complains about a coaster being too rough, then they won't take it that seriously. However, if many people complain, then I can see them really looking in to it.

Yeah, the one proposed new coaster is like 400 ft shorter in total length. I don't see how you could make it any shorter than TTD and make it go 100 ft. higher. Just doesn't sound right.
