^My mistake as well, I miss read what you said.

^Like what types of structural modification mr. engineer, please enlighten us. Wanna scratch something up in CAD to show us a refrence?

^YOu dont know if it willbe a major coaster or if it will be a flat, none of you know. Lion sleeps tonight, you definently do not know what your talking about, in the offseason coasters have been constrcuted before...for example....the italian job stunt track.....many of its footers were poured in the early winter and its concrete parking garage was poured and created in January.

I know for a fact, having read the screen many times every day for 2 years that the speeds are not always the same and that weight does play a factor! The magnetic breaks do not keep it at the same speed everytime, they keep it within a certain range, but not the same exact speed everytime. After the trim in the break shed as you head for the quick dip you will go faster with 36 people int eh train as opposed to four. Now if we had some whack a mole machines out there...

Sweet, Beast was still in the top 10 and it beat Legend! I was shocked by the top 10 wood coaster results, voyage didnt beat thunderhead and El Toro didnt even make the top 10! Boomerang was ranked as #5 in best waterpark landscaping and 3 of the 5 best kids areas were Paramount parks! (PKI, PKD, PC)

Thats cause certain people work there and they put on a show as they work, its more entertaining than a live show at any CF park!

Vekoma has built one tilt coaster, Gravity Max.

We wont be getting a Jump 2 because Huss has already agreed to build one for Coney Island and they have non-comptee rights!

Id like to sign up for the trip. I will be 18 in April. I'm having trouble using this slow laptop trying to get every bit of info so bear with me here, but I can go. I just talked to Bill anout possibly rooming with him, Ryan (Boddah1994) and Tom (SOB_TOM). Thanks to everyone working on this, this looksl ike its gonna be an amazing trip, maybe jsut as insane (in some ways) as Me Ryan, Bill, and Danes last GL trip. I accidently posted this under king maples name, im using his laptop, my bad. But yeah, count me in! I live in Fairfield Ohio if you wanna add me to the list and I will most likely go to the CP encore, I just went to CP for the first time last thursday and theres so much that it needs two days. Thanks so much for planning htis avatar, reon, pki beast and all the others, this is gonna be great!

Avatar, I think your idea of having a forum for adults, where mostly intelligent conversation can be held, is a good idea andit has been presented a few times. However, unfortuanently it is too easy to lie and just change your age on here (I used to do it all the time so that when they used announce birthdays on here they would announce mine like twice a week). It would be hard to enforce and where can you really cut the line? Over 30 forum? Well, I know some people in their 20's that are pretty intelligent, in fact two of them run this site. Over 21 forum? They can all drink but couldnt someone 20 years old be considered be considered an adult too. I like your idea a lot, and I HIGHLY agree with you that there are some members on here who dont respect the older posters, but I dont think it will happen on PKIC since it would be too hard to enforce. My suggestion to you is, maybe create a free Yahoo group or get one of those free trail version message boards, maybe even a myspace group and invite those from here that youd like to see in an adult forum, that way your talk is also not limited to PKI and PKIC still remains a fun place for everyone of all ages, that are atleast 13 years old or have written permission from a parent citing FCC rules and regulations .

There are still some decent stand ups out there, Mantiss is alright and Vortex at PC isnt too shabby either. Iron Wolf on the other hand and the former Batman at SFAW are another story.

I agree back in 2001 7th Portal was the !!! too bad it didnt catch on people werent familiar with those characters thats why it was pulled. And the fact that the story line was way too complex to follow, I had to ride the ride a few times and I think I got the general scope of the 7th portal outline. I agree with you about the un-familiarization, Stan Lee did a good job with those charecters, it just never caught on. While I'm glad to still see and HB ride in the park, I think the movie is just awful, the story line is basic yet there is WAY too much going on that it hurts your head trying to comprehend everything, its always out of focus due to the fact that you can tell its meant to be in 3d. It seems as of late all hte movies iWERKS (or iJERKS as some like to call them) has released for their theatres have been generally annoying. Robots of Mars at GL is awful!

^You just repeated EVERY point the interpreter was trying to get across, I dont know if you realzie this Brad.

^I wonder how long it will be till your banned again, dont you know that they can check the ip's and see your using the same one over and over again just under a differnt name. Sigh, you jsut cant play nice, well I'll just let Dane handle it soon.

^I'd Move Along

Enlighten us please...

When I went with the PKIC staff on our recent GL trip, we scored a Motel 6 for only 40 bucks!

But what makes you think that CBS budgeted for any capital expenditures. It's already been said that they did, whether they (or IT) will be good is another thing.

^Dont forget Troika and The Bat.

^The offer is open for thursday if you wanna cut school and skip work?

I hope it does, SOB is honestly one of my favorite coasters.

You spent the day at KI instead of going to see Snakes On a Plane its first night? Get your priorities straight! Glad you had a good day!

When a ride that normally goes up and down without a glitch suddenly stops and most of the guests, if not all, have never experienced this they are not going to be calmed down by some guy going "its doing it again". How does say hes prepared to deal with it? He DIDNT say "its doing it again, oh well, I know how to deal with it and fix it safely and quickly" he DID say "its doing it again" leave lots of questions unanswered and un-attended. Judging from Avatar's report I'd say Chris handled it very well but maybe that wasnt the best thing to say. SOB_TOM what have you been smoking? Besides cigarettes.

^Where did you get this crystal ball?

^Wow, yeah, lets tell the guests that the power goes out normally and that htey normally evacuate rides and that this is a regular occurance, that'll win em over. Why not just assure them that you've been trained to deal with situations like this before and that the situation is being taken care of? You just worry about when the power goes out at the whack a moles.
