  1. Yeah, I saw that, it made me kinda mad. We need a lookout list or something, rides that have a habit of being defaced. So far I see FoF and Scooby. If you see anyone defacing any ride, I sugest you isolate them, make them embarrased, then tell a ride op and hopefully solve the problem (if this means ejection from park, so be it).
  2. You might be thinking about CP. I know they have dorms for employees, but not PKI.
  3. 1. I have seen them stop SoB to take a camera away from a woman when she started filming it. 2. Most of us have seen the skeletons, so why need a pic? 3. I have had to ask people to put their cameras away on FoF. Almost every park has the same rule, no pictures during the ride. IoA and CP both have them, and I don't see the reason why you would want a pic! If you want to show off that you rode it, BUY THE ORP!

    I actually don't remember the fog! I really wish there was a pic of that!!!
  5. Hmmmmm, I was looking in those machines, still didn't see them. Of course, I was hungry, and didn't know if they were in any other machines somewhere in Oscars. I'll have to check again next weekend! Gotta have my castles!
  6. Yeah, a great review! I probably saw you on FoF (I was working it that morning.) Sorry about the whole slamming on the restraints thing. We are supposed to make it go down very close to the body. What my process is first pull up then push down a bit. If it does not touch body, then push down at least another click (more for those people who only pull the restraint down enough to get the seat belt on). Sometimes this may make a snug fit, but at least this way we wont have the complaints I hear at Vortex alot of "My restraint came up!!!" or the occasional "I'm falling out!!!" I hear while going through the corckscrews. If the just had the restraint down all the way, then you wouldn't fell like you're falling out!!! [/rant] Sorry about me rambling on, just one of my pet peeves.
  7. I didn't see any sign of destruction on Scooby, what has happened on the ride? (and yes, its a pain in the ass. there were holes in the walls at the exit of FoF that have all been patched up, but still makes the exit look bad.)
  8. I was in there yesterday, but couldn't find the white castles! I need more specific details for where this vending machine is!
  9. I'll be working FoF in the morning. Come say hi to me! Look for a person that looks like an older Harry Potter with the nametag "Brad".
  10. Yeah, I know White Castle! THEY ARE SERVING WHITE CASTLE???? SWEET!!!!!!! *can't wait to work tomorrow for the sole purpose of getting some white castles*
  11. um.... what are Whitys? I go to eat in Oscars, but rarely look in the vending machines, I guess I'll have to now!
  12. Yeah, it seems alot of people want more. I was in line for Delerium one day, and this lady was talking about how we didnt have any! She thought we needed some, but didnt even know about the one at Beast! WE NEED MORE!
  13. Flying ccoaster or Giga Coaster Improve CM rides/area Better Shows (maybe X Games-like show like US:IoA)
  14. Flat Ride: Zephyr Coaster: FoF Kid Ride: Scooby (yes, this is the reason I picked FoF/Z crew, they really are my 2 fav rides!)
  15. darn, why did my family have to keep me here!!! ON MY DAY OFF TOO!!!!!!! lol
  16. look for me in the resale office on saturday! I want to see the pic! lol Anyways, who should I ask for when I go in? PM me or IM me with your real name, and also when you are working next weekend.

    Well, I get to the park around 10:30, very angry at my parents for being so slow because I was late for the fun of the Eagles! I did get to ride with FoF, but I didn't get many snaps. I got a few, but thats it, a few. Well, then FoF, SOBRider, and Rob (chuck's bro) all head over to FoF's current ride, TRTR. There is practically no line, but then we find out that SOBRider couldn't fit! Even with the help of FoF, master of pushing restraints, we couldn't get him in. Well, with one man down, another of the men takes a casualty. Yes, I had heard of everyone talking about their balls getting killed on TRTR, but it never happened to me yet, untill today. Halfway through the ride I was going, "OW!!!! MAN THAT HURTS!!!!!!!" Well after that, I headed to Oscars and have lunch and then figured that I had some extra time, so I went over to Coney Arcade to get a quick DDR game in, then hurried back to my locker, got my uniform, then went to work. Shortly after that, I see FoF and co. come into the station. We get FoF in with no problem, but then SOBRider and Rob come in, and all of us weaklings (yes, I admit, we must be the weakest crew in the park) couldn't get the restraint down enough. I felt so bad that we had to tell them they were too big! Well, after awhile of checking restraints, I was sent to greeter. Most of it was fine, except for this one instance. This one lady and her kid came up to the line, and the kid was really close to the height restriction, so I had to check her. Then I ask the kid if she has a bracelet, but she didn't. Then the mother goes on and on about how she had a bracelet yesterday, so I think, if this is true, then she will be taller than the bar. So I take the kid up, and the bar swings over her head. Of course, the mother explodes, acting as if it were the kid's fault for being too short. Other than that and the ocasional "Please do not sit on the railing", it was fine! Well, then I get called into the building, to find out that I am being released from work 2 hours early. I think, yes! 2 hours for rides! So the first thing I think of: Scooby! I get in line, and love the theming! I get in the ride, and start blasting. Some of the parts were actually somewhat scary! At this one point, this bookcase starts to fall towards the car, and I was definatly not expecting that! Well, at the end, I see my score, 1710. Definatly beats my friends score of less than 1000. I then decide to ride The Beast, where I run into one of my friends from school. We meet up at the exit and decide to go around the next hour and half together (he is a newbie in food, this was his first day). We then decide to ride Vortex. Of course, halfway up the hill he exclaims, "I forgot how much I hate this ride!" Then of course, his glasses fall out of his pocket, but he thinks it his change! When the ride stops, he says, "Oh wait, these are my glasses! I think it wasn't a smart idea for me to step on them a couple times then!" Well, then there was Spongebob. All I can say is.... HORIBLE!!!! The sound was so messed up that the sound effects were extremely loud, but the voice was so quiet you couldn't hear most of the jokes! I did like the paddle ball though, lol. Well, I am then off to the arcade for some more DDR, but when I am playing one of the non-stop courses, this one girl comes up to the pad, and stands there on the pad! Well, after complaining to a sup there, I get my money back and got to try again, and got my name on the machine again (#4 score) And that was pretty much my day at PKI! Once again, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry about what happened at FoF today, I will try to get my crew working a bit harder next time something like this happens.
  18. Yeah, I was the little kid going with you on Eagles and going to TRTR with you today. Which would you prefer though: not making it on the ride, or getting a massive nut-cracker on TRTR? (and yes, i did get my first nut-cracker on TRTR today, lol). And about the whole FoF thing, remember me? lol. I am SOOOOOO sorry about us not being able to get you in. Let's just say the people on my crew aren't the strongest crew out there, lol. I felt so bad watching you guys have to be taken off!
  19. It did slow down a bit at one point, but it was at a point where they bring you really close to the target, and I think the lasers are like the ones at MIB in Universal because those were the hardest targets to hit!
  20. On my first ride ever today: 1710. Is that any good for a first time?
  21. Yes, the frame of your picture makes it seem like there are aliens riding in the seat behind you in the picture.
  22. of course, when the pic is just slightly off, the people look hunched down! They still need to do some tweaking with the camera!
  23. Dance should be on there! You don't know how much I enjoy hearing a dance song come on the TV's while I'm a greeter! I may not be able to watch it, but I love to listen to it!
  24. 1. ORP's are up and running, and yes, they do have the aliens in the back seat! 2. The black patches are now gone. They re-painted them and there is only one spot that you can tell that there was a hole there (only because they didn't paint the red and black part on it yet, its all grey). 3. The building is looking cleaner, but I didn't get to see about the saucer.
  25. 3.5 hours for my first ride on SoB. I was going to a coaster camp at CP the next day, and wanted to brag about riding it before I went. Yes, a coaster camp. proof that I am in fact a coaster freak, lol
