It's called a sig!

Ok lets finish this Six Flags stuff right now... Check it! Click--Click

That is quote worthy!

It's really all about market research. This site is such a microscopic view of what people really want. Of course if you asked anyone on here what they would want, they'd say they want a 250ft tall Intamin with 15 inversions. This of course is coming from a demographic that's mainly males between the ages of 16 and 30, a lot of which don't have families. PKI does extensive market research to find out what types of rides, shows, and attractions would be the most popular with the most amount of people from year to year and they follow that when planning their expansions. IJ isn't exactly what people on here would describe when asked what their dream coaster would be, but to my understanding, it has been very popular with the masses. I do however agree with your comment that you made before that PKI is always removing family attractions. Looking back at the timeline, the last true expansion we've had was SOB in 2000, and even that's arguable because the monorail used to run there. Of course, there are several reasons why this is happening. The main reason is likely that things get outdated and the space that they occupy could be utilized better and be more profitable with a new expansion, there's no denying that. Secondly, let's face it, when some of these rides get old, it's just really expensive to maintain them and as opposed to cutting into their budget for the next year, they just remove it and utilize the money on other improvements. Lastly, PKI has a pretty good layout. To my understanding, the "wheel" design is based off of Disney. Let's face it, in those few areas where it dead ends, it's always crowded (i.e. AZ neear SOB, CM near Spongebob), so in order to add a new attraction in an area that's not preexisting, they would almost have to ad a new area, which is real money there. I just wish they would think a little more when deciding what to remove. Regardless of of you feel about the Tiques, Flyers, or IJ, this years expansion really took away from the look and feel of the park. I was going to say the same thing. If you look on the map you see that people can go in a circle around the park going on every ride (exept AZ).

Nobody cares about ROAR?!?! You all should get on it and you will know why I am NuTs over it.

I have firefox but the dowwnload page on that site is confusing and cant understand which to download.

hey, Hey, HEY (not meaning to sound like fat albert but) ARE YOU ALL FORGETING ABOUT ONE OF "THE" BEST WOODEN COASTER IN A SIX FLAGS PARK? Yes SF may slack in theme and ride but there is one ride I hold close to me. Dont Dis One Ride that ROCKS and makes me love at least one SF park. This ride is sadly not given the attention it should being the Best ever. This roller coaster can only be... ROAR If you think i'm over-doing this then you better get to Six Flags America and ride this awsome piece of work!

Seen it

Your so kind. Anyway, today I got on IJST for my first time. Waited like 45 Minutes. I got in the back (white) train. The Boost was cool, Love the slowly speeding up! The Helix was intence! I blacked out at the top for a second. The drop and zig-zag was okay, didn't add anything more to the thrill. The banked curve was cool. The subway effect (not working), and frankly don't see a reason to have it working. You go through the subway area so fast that the rumbleing would not even have to be there. The Chopper did not work but the fire was SwEeT! I could feel the heat on my face. The Tunnel was dark and couldnt see much so cant rate that. Drop in to the water was well, the G's go up fast. Water hit me in the face and got slightly wet. If you have not been on the ride yet get your butt on it! All in all it is a great ride. A short ride but a good.

Great find.

Its going to be C r A z Y on the 4th of july week, and on the weekend before it!

I hope this rumor of a major coaster being removed is not true. But think of it, if The Racer is removed think of what could be in it's place. Perfect for a rocket coaster. With that strip of land it could happen but that will I hope not happen, Racer ROCKS!

I beleave it should be open in a couple weeks.

I lost count...

Many when the line for TRTR is short people cut through the line to go right into the cave.

I love the salad's. No matter where in the park, they are great!

Agreed as well, But I dont think it is best to speak of these things.

LOL, this topic makes me think of people who ask me if TRTR is a motion simulator. And Spongebob 3D is awsome!

I wish I could understand that list but I just can't, It makes no sence and is wrong in many ways!

Well, you still go to PKI, you still have that kid still in ya!!!

I couldnt put that in better words!

Dane, no matter how long it takes, or what ever happens. I just want to say you do a GREAT job with this site! Without you being on this site it would not be where it is now. Keep up the great job Dane.

The map is different, but not horrable. Yes it is not orginized well but it is still a great map!

What do you mean by that? Just kidding. Dane, You do an awsome job with this site. It would be nowhere near the fame it is now if it was not for you. C'mon people... Give him some credit and thanks!!!

Well, Happy Early birthday PKI!
