I should get my schedule tomorrow (even though i shouldve gotten it yesterday), so I'll see if I can make it!

that new Disney one looks cool. They've been building it for about 4 years now! (it was being constructed when i went there 2-3 years ago!)

Inraider: It was the second one, im sure. It was the one online, it may have been the teaser, but it was still pretty long.

Hasn't this site been posted like 3 times already???

Congrats! Maybe this will mean more international people visiting the park! And what does konichiwa mean anyway???

My favs have changed since the year started: 1. Zephyr 2. Deliruim 3. Eagles 4. Drop Zone 5. TRTR Also, Inraider, queue TV shows the TR:CoL preview. I saw it when I was in line for F/O awhile back.

Heh, shameless plug, nice! Seriously, they need to film one at PKI. It's such a great park, and it needs to get more exposure than it does! If they do film a show there, I would be perfect for one of those guys riding the ride and narrating what the riders are doing, I do that alot on FoF and SoB anyways! lol.

no, I mean like running along the track, not riding. Isn't there a path along The Racer that people can walk on? Each person gets a track, and first person to run down the track and back to the station wins, they do that tournament style until only one person remains, and he wins.

No, Survivor. The one on CBS (which is owned by the same company that owns PKI). The one where they vote out a person every week and they are sent to some far off place (last season was the Amazon).

The heading doesn't say anything about a Paramount Park. Yeah, but look in the original post. It clearly says we'd get a paramount ride.

Hmmm...... I think that Paramount would definatly NOT like that idea, considering the whole terrorists in the park thing. I would like the show Survivor filmed there! Think about it, each tribe's area would be inside a Beast. One tribe in the first giant helix on SoB, and the other in The Beast's grand finalie helix. Challenges would range from trivia about the park, to races (maybe running The Racer track). The final challenge could be whoever could hold on to drop zone the longest while it is at the top. Bars would be places onto the ride, and a special harness could be put into it so when the person lets go, they will be caught and will be lowered to the ground. Oh, and did I mention that the ride would be SPINNING? There could also be a challenge where they would have to answer trivia about rides and attractions, visit that ride and ride it, and then pick up the next clue at the exit. Of course, this would be going on with guests around, making the challenges even harder!

Nope, wrong

Well? Does anyone know the answer?

I seem to be too big to be a character. Dang, height requirement to work, that's just discrimination! lol

Ok everyone, get out your Unofficial Guidebooks to PKI! I will try to have a question about the actual book, not the park, every week. First person that gets the correct answer... well... gets the correct answer. (And italianchef, don't cheat! lol). Question 1: What is unusual about the picture on page 63?

I almost got it around, but then my friend started freaking out, so I had to stop the snapping/spinning. I hope they don't ban it. I just learned how to do it last weekend, and I enjoy it!

wait.... he is.... CHARLES INFOSINO???? WE ARE NOT WORTHY! WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!! lol. Now that I think about it, I should've known it was you! The name "ItalianChef", That has to be from the cooking awards you won. Is there a chance for another book signing? I missed the last one and love your book! I quiz my friends on PKI all the time at school with that book. Anyways, nice to talk with you, and great job on the book! EDIT: after I got the book, I didn't look in this topic anymore. Now I see that other people did have inklings. Oh well.

I like the ride, it's just the g forces that I don't like. Of course, it is a 5, so stuff like that should be expected.

Yeah, the spongebob one is right by my house. I havent seen Delirium or Scooby, but I have also seen the gold pass billboards, they should be taken down soon though, since the deal is over.

I did hit the trees on Saturday, I was going into the line just as they closed to cut down the limb. I got 2 rides in that day, both were good snapping. Also, after working on Beast yesterday (sent there), I know some of the eagle's crew now. I also found out a Beast sup lives on my street! what a coincidence!

guys, the topic is swaping with another PARAMOUNT PARK. I don't think Disney and Cedar Point are Paramount parks.

Mountain Dew has a new flavor: Livewire. It's pretty much a Mountain Dew / Sunkist mix. Who here think's PKI should sell it?

I don't ride Delirium if all of the gates are open. Yeah, it goes quickly, but I have alot of rides to ride!

wow, what a trip report! Now compare that to my novel of yesterday! lol

Well, I show up for work in the morning and clock in as usual, and as our crew walks into FoF, mechanics are working on the ride making adjustments (don't know what they were). So as 10 gets closer and we still haven't even run our tests, me and another person are sent out to guest relate and tell them the ride isn't open yet. At about 10:30 (I'm guessing) we opened and of course, I got stuck at greeter. When it got close to 12, I got a call that I was being sent home early. Since I was meeting a friend of mine after he got off work, I had alot of free time. First thing I do: Play some DDR. I played that thing most of the day actually. I meet this cool guy with an Indy DDR shirt on, and we played each other alot (I won). After that, I get hungry and get some munchies consisting of LaRosas. Then I head to Delirium, but the line was pretty long, and I move on to SoB. Let me tell you, SoB in the rain: NOT FUN. The rain is hitting you so hard that it feels like you are being shot with a b-b gun repetedly. Also, it seemed like the rain made the cars run faster, which also meant rougher. Trust me, this was the hardest time I've ever had on SoB to keep my hands up the whole time (which I always do). Then I head to Rivertown and try to find a ride with a short line, and neither Beast or TRTR had short lines. So I move on to the Eagles, and HOLY CRAP! I CAN SNAP NOW!!! After watching a guy snapping well, I figured out how to do it, and rode with this kid. Once I started getting it to snap well, I handed the controls to the kid, who was paying attention to me and snapped himself. Oh, and we also hit a tree! yay. After that, more DDR (oh yeah, I'm still the 4th best DDR player at PKI based on the high scores list). Then it is getting close to the first meeting time/place for my friend (we had several set up, depending on when he got off work). I see him still in Skyline working, so I move on to AZ. I walk by the front gate looking for Return of Yogi (he said he was working front gate that day), and see Angelica, but the person taking her picture wasn't Yogi. I then go to AZ, and see Delirium was down, but a line was forming in front of it, and them running test rides. I decide to wait in line. Then this little kid line jumps in front of 2 people, me one of them. His friends start laughing saying, "If you're going to cut, go to the front of the line!" I then say, "That would be a bad idea, especially with a park employee watching." They all get a laugh out of it and the kid goes back to his spot in line, behind me. I then get on Deliruim, and have the same problem I had on SoB, the rain. Every time I went down the swing facing the ground, it hurt. I then decide that Face/Off has a short line (than normal), and ride it. I forgot why I hate this ride! I must say, riding on the edge of the ride, but the g forces on that ride are just too much for me! I felt like my head was going to explode! Now I remember why it's rated a 5! One thing I did like was that they had ride stats posted around the station. I then decide to head to TRTR again and give it a second chance. I don't see a line leading up to the tomb entrace, but then I see the doors closed and guests waiting outside the line entrance. It turns out that maintenance was checking up on the ride. I waited there hoping I'd get lucky again and they'd open up as I was waiting, but no. Maintanance must've been thinking, "Hmmm....... TRTR hasn't gone down for awhile, we need to check on it." At this time, I go to meeting spot / time #2, SDatHC. As I'm waiting there, these two little kids come up to me and tell me that they can't find their parents. I look around for a security person to escort them to guest relations so their parents can be called, but none were in sight. Then another employee walks up behind me, and she takes them to guest relations. By this point, the girl was crying, messing up her face paint. Trust me, being lost at PKI isn't fun (I know from experience long ago, lol). Well, my friend walks by, tells me he still is working. He must've been on break or something. I then head back to Coney again for my last games of DDR for the night, Where I meet Breen the Machine (in games dept.), who is one of the few people that play at PKI which can beat me (he's #3). Yeah, he easily passed a song I barely failed earlier in the day (which I can normally pass). ** Part removed by Admin** This was my first ride on the river adventure, so here is my review. The theming is pretty good, but could have been better. Half the ride has no theming at all, just the same as it was before the name/theming change. We then go under brown balls with eyes. (these supposed to be monkies?) It looked like they were going to squirt water on us, but they just stayed there. Then we go under a snake down a small drop in fog. I did like the fog in the ride, that was prolly the best theming of the entire ride. We then go up the final hill, once again with no theming, and drop down into the final drop. I did not get wet at all on this ride, until the stupid elephant nailed me at the very end. Overall, could be fun for little kids, but just doesn't cut it for me. I then head back over to TRTR to see if FOF is still greeting, but he has been replaced, so I move on to the final meeting place/time. We go on Scooby, AND HE BEATS ME!!! He never rode it before, and he beat me by 80 points (1060 to 980). Of course, he is a self-proclaimed hick and loves guns and shooting them. We then head over to Delirium and ride that again. This time rainless, so it was much more enjoyable. Then ride Racer backwards, back seat, at night. So much fun. I also heard the dumbest thing while waiting, a kid nest to me said, "Wanna go ride King Cobra after this?" I had to break it to him that KC was torn down. Then we go to the Eagles again, and it is up and running again. This time, my snaps were insane! The vehicle almost stopped for the snap, I was getting massive height, and my snaps were so loud! Of course, my friend was riding with me, and the extra weight could've helped. I swear, my friend was gonna have a heart attack! At one point, we almost went backwards for the snap! Well, after that, we head to Beast for the last ride of the night. Total darkness, and PAIN. I see why they say Beast at night is almost a religious experience, but since the rain was still on the track, it went super fast, and super harsh. After that, we went home happy, and tired.
