harvesterofyoursorrow Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I think a nice thing that they could add would be some new parking area signs. You know, the ones that say "Face/Off" then a number so you know where you are parking. Also, Some new lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Anyone else feel like there in the game Frogger when they cross the road that cuts right in the middle of the parking lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shman Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 One of the changes in the parking lot will have to do with the old chain link fence that seperated the employee lot and the main parking lot. They are putting up some new type of "wall" to make it more asthetically pleasing, as well as safe (so that those wierd GP won't go jumping over the fence and try to sue the park when they get hurt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Uhh, they have two of them, one on either side. At least one is open at all tiumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Didn`t Paramount`s Great America redo their entrance this past year making if feel like the entrance to the Paramount Studios in California? Coould PKI be doing a similar treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Anyone else feel like there in the game Frogger when they cross the road that cuts right in the middle of the parking lot? Yup, lol. It's risking life and limb to cross that road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 IJST looks like it will be a fun family ride but not much of a thrilling coaster. Overall it is too soon to judge the ride based on it's current state but from what I have seen the ride will be a lot more compact than I anticipated. I won't be getting a pass this year but I think IJST will be a welcome attraction at PKI just not a beloved thriller like Drop Zone or Son of Beast - Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I think it will be good at night with all the flashing lights and explosions. It will look like a war zone when it gets dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familyman Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 It still amazes me to see people slam a ride that hasn’t even been finished yet. If it was a flat being built they would be complaining it wasn’t a coaster. Blah blah blah see ya at the front of the line on opening day.

CoastersRZ Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 IJST is not meant to be a major thrill attraction like Drop Zone or Son of Beast (if you can call that ride a thriller). In all honesty, I am looking forward to IJST. Having visited Disney for the first time this past summer, a story and a theme really go a far way in making a ride more interesting and fun. Yes, IJST might not be the tallest or fastest, but it will offer a unique experience on a roller coaster that can not be found at other seasonal amusement parks. PKI is trying to become a seasonal version of Disney or Universal. While the park will never reach Disney or Universal standards, look how far they have come in the past couple of years. A nice renovated Nickelodeon Central, a new Spongebob Movie in the Action Theater, a highly themed and immersive dark ride experience in Tomb Raider, a new themed interactive dark ride, a themed water park resort and now a themed roller coaster. I for one am excited about IJST and the future attractions that the park has in store. The park has realised that they can`t compete with CP when it comes to roller coasters, so instead they are offering a different themed experience that other seasonal parks don`t offer. Only in Orlando, or in California can you find theming better than at PKI, and then you have to shell out big bucks to enjoy it! To each their own though.

If you were refering to my comments all I have to say is grow up and learn to respect other's opinions. I agree with Captain Picard and PkiDelirium about how IJST will be a cool ride to watch at night time, especially if PKI is able to keep the effects working unlike with Tomb Raider lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can all agree that if Technifex makes this one unfixable, they offically suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shman Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Well hopefully Technifex will actually think out all the potential problems with this ride (concidering the theming is out doors and it is going to get wet) Maybe they will actually use the right lighting fixtures (as opposed to TRTR, where they put in ones that can't get wet....but yet put them inside a building that mimics a rain forest) Although if I remember correctly I heard that some other company was doing some of the other effects...like the explosions and flames. I think I heard that it was going to be the company that did the Volcano explosion for PKD....and I don't think that was technifex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 I thought that Paramount Pictures' stunt crew was going to do the effects, but from what I understand, that was wrong. Of course, Tomb Raider was done by Technifex/Paramount Parks, but more than likely, Paramount told Technifex what they wanted to see and Technifex took it from there.
