Yeah, I stole this idea from Gabe, so what. I'm bored too, lol. 10. © Trying to find those guys working on the saucer while waiting in line. 9. © Can't take the old PKI shirt from one of the pod people. 8. (E) Having your brain scanned by the "All Seeing Eye". 7. (E) The standard shoot to kill policy has been temorarily suspended. 6. © Can't find a hidden mickey in the alien heiroglyphics. 5. (E) Those dang civilians keep getting into the hanger every day! 4. © Having friends replaced by aliens. 3. © There always seems to be a person who screams like Howard Dean on your train! 2. © You can't actually fly the saucer. And the #1 FoF pet peeve is... 1. (E) Having your memory erased every 20 minutes. Explanations: 9. The pod people are the people in the pods in the station. One has an old PKI shirt on. 8. The "All Seeing Eye" is what employees call the red glowy thingy on the ceiling in the station. 6. Disney World has an alien themed ride that also has alien heiroglyphics in the line. Theirs has a Mickey head hidden in them. 4. Just in case you didn't know... the ORP's. 3. Search google for "Howard Dean Scream" if you don't know. 1. The video in the hanger repeats about every 20 minutes (I think... I may have forgotten...)

Actually, he is right. A swinging coaster is called Suspended, and a Vekoma looper is called an Inverted coaster. There is a difference.

Those pics show the TTD-ish first hill. That was done by Real, a NL designer much better than I. I am currently trying to get Real's permission to upload that ride to the internet with his hill. If he does not let me, I will redo the hill, minus the 270 degree twist and just have a 90 degree one (I can do those, not the 270).

First hill: 485 feet First inversion: 395 feet Max speed: 125 mph Atomizer: Coming in 2004! (And yes, this will be a realistic ride. All g's never exceed the yellow range)

I am using NL, and is not being considered for an actual coaster. These are just my ideas. If I find someone who is really good at 3DS files, I may have the theming in the ride area, but since I have no clue how to do that, the description will come with the ride file. If you want to see some construction pics, along with a pic of me playing DDR in a tournament, go to http://stxbomberpix.mypicgallery.com/

I'm working on a hydraulic launch coaster right now, and am stuck between 2 names for it. I'm gonna pull a Hershey Park and let my fellow PKI freaks decide! This would be a hydraulic launch coaster that will be taller and faster than TTD, and feature at least one inversion. Which idea do you like more? Atomizer: It will blow you to particles! Riders enter a queue line themed to be a science convention. Supposedly a scientist has invented a brand new atom smasher that can break anything down to it's atoms. They see many formulas, charts, diagrams, and several other things that were used in the creation along the walls. Also, riders will see an interview of the creator of this new machine. He is the finest example of a mad scientist if there ever was one. The doors open up, and you are shown to your seats to view this machine and see it do its job. As you are seated, people in lab coats come by and pull down a restraint on you. As you realize something is wrong, a monitor turns on and the scientist appears. "Welcome to our little demonstration of my new invention. I believe that you cannot truely appreciate something until you get up close and personal with it. Lucky for you, you will be VERY up close and personal with it, because you are currently strapped into it! I hope you've enjoyed being whole!" Then the train launches at an amazing speed out of the station. Rubberneckin': A tribue to Elvis This ride is much like Xcelerator. It doesn't have a story line, but themed to the cars of the 60's, and to Elvis. You walk through a sort of Elvis museum. As you enter the station, you see this suped up 60's convertable. Take a seat, then prepare to drive off to the tune of the remix of the Elvis song Rubberneckin'. Why the song Rubberneckin'? Imagine people watching the ride take off. It will take off so fast their necks turn to rubber!

Haha, it was prolly me saying that alot. I loved working that ride. But I would bet the lucky striker went "Greatest game in the world!" more than I said the end of ride speil. Another one I just thoght of that happens at Lucky Striker... "WE HAVE A WIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"

Wow, we are getting some good ones here! I'll make the final list sometime during the week.

Does anyone have some background on that comment? I would like to know what he means exactly, lol.

Whoosh, scream, whoosh, scream, repeat Deli!

LOL @ the first one. Gotta love the games people for trying though.

Zephyr. It goes around and up and around and down and around and up...

Here's the short version of what happened, there is a much longer version, but I've already posted it at another site and it takes a long time to type it all out. I was walking out of the park on the 4th of july (the day all the storms came in). No one was around me, because the park was closed and since I was sent to WWC, and my parents wanted me home, I didn't have to help clean the ride area. I'm walking out past Wild Thornberries, and just as I'm walking by the elephant, it starts shooting off water. That only goes off when a boat goes by. I look at the ride, and the ride is shut down and no one is at the ride. I look all around Nick Central to see if anyone else saw it, and I was completely by myself. Then I take off like a rocket away from that ride.

Whoa... Sparky just went old school on us! I mean WAY old school! lol

Yeah, Brian was a great sup, one of the reasons I moved to Beast crew. Sups haven't been chosen yet, so no one knows. I'm hoping to learn to snap better from working that ride. I'm gonna ask to run that thing alot!

LOL! Good one there. "What do you mean there is no smoking in line?" (thanks of Dragon Lord) "Help! I can't get out of my seat!"

Yes, overused topic. Yes, park is haunted. I know from experience. Creepiest thing that ever happened to me at that park. It still give me chills.

After seeing Boddah's sig, I thought of making a list of the top 10 things you hear repeated at PKI on a daily basis. Right now I am just asking for suggestions, and me and some PKIC staff members will vote on the top 10. Of course, I haven't asked the PKIC staff members to help vote, since this was a spur of the moment idea, but if they don't vote, I'll make the decisions. "This is just a friendly reminder that all shoes, sandals, and flip-flops must be worn throughout the entire ride on Zephyr. Once again, You MUST wear footware to ride Zephyr. If you have taken your shoes off, please put them back on at this time." "But they're gonna fall off!" "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (only heard repeatedly on a busy day, or if you like standing in the FoF hanger when no one is in there for no apparent reason) "The greatest game in the world!" (Fifty billlionz imaginary dollarz to whoever can say where this is heard) Last, but definatly not least... "For your safety as well as the safety of those around you, we ask that you please to not sit, stand, or climb on the handrails."

I said Top Gun, but I think it will be awhile until they take it out. The fact that they got new trains for it and that Jeff Seibert has been saying it is going to stay are pretty good indicators to me.

It seems like this should be a poll in the polls section, but oh well... Eagles. Snapping those babies can be soooooo much fun!

Eagles are not in this list because The OC does not run it. Scrambler and Dodgems are together because I ran out of room! If you choose Scrambler or Dodgems, say which one below.

LOL I gotta say, that is a very funny list. I was totally not expecting that, lol.

1. FoF 2. Beast 3. Eagles 4. Vortex 5. Monster 6. Racer 7. TRTR 8. SoB 9. Zephyr 10. WWC 1. The OC 2. RvT 3. AZ 4. Oct Fest 5. HB/NC 6. Int Street 7. WW/BB

Hmmm... well I will probably go forward with this idea, but drop the PKIU v PKIC theme. Teams would be broken up by whichever team they wish. When I have time (I'm in the middle of auditions for my school musical) I will set the date and time up.

Yup, thats definatly Reptar. Considering the only other inverted coaster we have is Face/Off, and those don't look like F/O. (Before anyone argues, Top Gun is swinging, not inverted)
