  1. Neon green track, believed to be that of the former Geauga Lake coaster X Flight, began arriving to a staging area in the parks parking lot. PKIC's eye in the sky took to the ground to grab some photos of the track arriving on site. The park has not confirmed whether this is track for X flight or whether the track in the lot will be going to the park or if it could be a staging area before going to another location. Regardless, an announcement is expected from the park within the coming weeks. Till then enjoy this exclusive update brought to you first by PKICentral.com! Click here to see the pictures. -Special thanks to Gabriel (Captain Nemo) for going out today and taking the photos and to the park for granting us permission to take the photos! Regards, -Ronny Salerno (CombatStupendous89) and Gabriel Zelazny (Captain Nemo)
  2. ^Yeah, they do all that when theyre not "pretending to be busy".
  3. I understand that its all in good fun Elmer no worries! Ha Geaugaguide......what a joke!
  4. ^Exactly, all I said was the park has not announced ANYTHING yet, sure theres track there, but theres also a pipeline coaster thats been sitting in Six Flags America's lot for the past two years and they havent said what theyre doing with it. Everyone relax, be patient, and within the hour I guarantee you PKIC will not dissapoint you with some news.
  5. Just stay tuned to PKI this evening for updates coming your way soon....I promise....were not the best site around for nothing.
  6. Dont worry boys and girls, if in fact there is track in the parking lot you know PKIC will let you guys be the first to know if its there or not with a complete report. Regardless, there will be news on this site tonight!
  7. X flight has not been confirmed or announced by the park.....for all you know it could be a staging area....if the track is there....no photos yet.
  8. ^Getting around the law is not that simple, they USED to do that, and it was not a very popular option once the ADA laws were passed, remember the ADA laws were passed so that persons with dissabilities would be able to live and work in a more friendly enviroment that met their needs as well as the needs of others. Just because your in a wheel chair why should you be forced through some back hallway or kitchen to get to a service elevator that, yes I've been on, is not the cleanest thing in the world and empties into a little storage facility then out into a park back lot. Even if you dont care how clean the elvator is or whatever theres still the issue of a fire. If a fire breaks out in the kitchen, where it most likely would, elevator access is cut off, while the stairs are still fully accessible.
  9. ^Its cool man, I didnt take it as a nasty comment and theres no shame in being a credit hound, i've kept track of how many coasters I've been on.
  10. I think Spiegels right, it wouldnt surprise me if most, if not all, of those properties became condos particuarly Elitch Gardens prime location.
  11. ^I always thought the parks had uniformed passes throughout the chain, but learned that in 2005 this was not the case when I saw a Kings Dominion and Great America pass.
  12. Your real one probably will just as both CP and KI did last year.
  13. ^The names are printed on the back of the pass woofer, and when the picture doesnt show the operator can use the panel right next to them.
  14. When the attendants at the front gate scan your pass your photo shows up on the screen in front of them. Hmmmm, maybe we should start the list of issues that this will present down the road. Honestly, does someone not evaluate these decisions before they're released? Whats so bad about the picture showing up on the LCD monitor instead of the pass? Just because KECO and their pal Linder didnt do it 20 years ago doesnt make it wrong.
  15. When the attendants at the front gate scan your pass your photo shows up on the screen in front of them.
  16. X-Flight, hands down the best coaster I've been on yet. Millenium Force, Magnum, and TTD are all great rides along with the classics at KI like The Beast and King Cobra and you cant beat coasters like TG:TJC at Carowinds, but that feeling of flying is unlike anything in the world. X flight is great.....the park its at...well that place could use some work.....heres to X flight coming to KI and GL getting better and not becoming a housing development.
  17. Well this is a good start. It's perty darn nice to see all the P stuff go by the wayside. How is it they say? Don't let the door hit ya in the ...... They didn't. Mr. Weber is now at Palace Entertainment, where he will doubtless give Mr. Kinzel a run for his money. Funny, Mr. Kinzel could have kept him, but CHOSE to let him go and become a competitor. Go figure! Personally I hope Al Weber gives Kinzel a run for his money, unless that is Mr. Weber wants to buy all the prototype water rides so Palace ent. can be known as "innovators" like Paramount parks were. Oh well, the paramount may be gone and some consider that mountain in front of the tower to be as bad as the nazi flag flying over France in 1941. Like you Woofer, I'm hoping CF will bring good things to a park that had its good and awful years under Paramount, it will be interesting to see if Kinzel breaks his strategy of "Make Cedar Point awesome and treat the other parks like crap". -CombatStupendous89......who has never been impressed with a Cedar Fair park except Cedar Point.
  18. ^They could avoid any and all awful lines by just opening up the processing areas two weeks before the season opens.
  19. Anyone know if they will have pass processing before the season opens that way no one gets stuck in that awful line like last year?
  20. ^Id take real New York pizza over anything Ohio has to offer.
  21. ^A lot of schools around my area have banned the shoes and a lot of public places as well, theres a lot of restaraunts around here with signs in the door saying you cant bring them in. I shoot pictures up at the local skatepark sometimes and the guys who work there are constantly kicking kids out for using those shoes in there and getting in peoples way.
