  1. hahahahahahahaha isnt that the same with all business? Welcome to the real world, or are you still pre-pubecent?
  2. ^Its a conspiracy against you Bill.........run.......run!
  3. One is still sittingn in the Action F/X que grass by the theatre left there from Fearfest, the ones at SFKK actually came from Americana.
  4. It is very appreciative for all employees to hear your comments, i cant tell you how much better reading that made my night after working all day, very glad to serve you.
  5. On a scale of 1 - 10 Avtar is a 15!
  6. ^Yeah Top Gun needs more than just a little TLC........it needs a complete overhaul! Its a good ride but as many people pointed out the track looks rusted and dull. The trains are filthy and covered in grafitti. The soundtrack and music can barely be heard through aging and dying speakers. The aircraft themed area which once was the que you walked through is now closed off and delapidating. The supports have paint peeling off of them to show how rusted they are. Trash, debri, parts of track and cars is just laying everyone on the ground beneath the brakes. The station paintings are chipped apart and the tarp that is along the sides of the station que is missing at some parts or featuring huge holes. On the lift, the speakers are always crackling and sound terrible, chain link fence lines the bottom of the lift and right side while most other suspended coasters have nice looking glass. The line theming is missing (the Russian mig and tomcat are gone, just the support stands there) or broken. IF you look at the original concept drawings for the ride there was supposed to be a F-14 tomcat replica on top of the station and a tower to be built to make it look like an aircraft carrier. Top Gun, while a great ride, does not help the parks image at all. And my biggest pet peeve of all about the ride, is that big billboard that shows an aircraft carrier and two F-15 Eagles, planes used by the air force not the navy and cant even be used on carriers are showing with a big Gillete Mach II symbol. Does gillete even still sponsor the ride? I dont see it on the back of the trains or hear it on the announcments.
  7. How much do you think the propane to power the fire effects costs in relation to the gasoline of the used for the tiques?
  8. Completely new and a different design than previous years.
  9. Which even plays the enchanted voyage theme while they check your setbelts
  10. Did anyone else notice at the funtastic world of Hannah Barbera they had the fantastic voyage theme playing?
  11. NU looks gorgeous, it has changed so much it felt like going to a new park today, they did a great job. Although HB is gone for the most part, they did a great job, the only thing I didnt like about NU is what Ryan (Boddah) pointed out to me today, that theres no really big signs or fantastic entrances welcoming you into the new area but it sure looks great! Avatar.......not just a kids ride........it can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike and was a blast. Kite Flyer.......not as fun for some of the older kids but I can see kids really liking this.....hurt my stomach though. Nice job PKI!
  12. ^Vortex actually got a completely new sign and yes it does lack the lights, Monster also got a new sign. Other things that have changed are the Dippin Dots/Lemon Chill stands are repainted (mostly) theres a new kettle popcorn stand still waiting to be occupied out side of Beast, The Beast and The Racers also have new lap restraints.
  13. ^Jzarley is by far the most intelligent person on this board, I couldnt agree more with what he just said.
  14. It has in the past, yes.
  15. THe ride is great and I laughed so hard when ir elized those were in there as i exited. Then when walking down the exit ramp I noticed a little boy holding one close to his face and coughing and i laughed probably of rhalf an hour. Ive never had a problem with rides making me sick.
  16. Drop Zone, definently the scariest, the only rides that give me chills or make me nervous anymore at PKI are drop zone, the end seats on Face off, skyflyer, and any enclosed water slide.
  17. 86% humidity........ewww..........still coming
  18. Who owned SFKK before Six Flags?
  19. Wasnt there another death on Mission Space around this time last year? I bet this one was due to a medical condition again, it is an intense ride, and I cant stress enough to park guests how important it is to read the warnings before riding, but we'll wait and see the official outcocme of what happened.
  20. ^Oh Snap! Ringmaster for the win!
  21. ^SOB is a beautiful coaster and i used to be able to enjoy it however the last few times ive ridden it it just has been awful. I get so sick of how terribly rough it is, no matter where ive sat, on wheels, off wheels, front, back, middle, never works, always leaves me feeling like ill never have children again. Hope KI fixes it.
  22. My favorite coaster at PKI is definently The Beast however FOF and IJ are close seconds fof because its just an amazing ride now that it doesnt have headrests and Italian Job is good for what it is...everyone says it sucks but its a fun ride and the theming is good. It has tractor trailers, water effects that do get you wet, not too wet. But yeah some theming is meesed up, lets just hope it has a better year this year.
  23. Ill be up there with my cameras and new lenses working on a new video and filming for "The less then perfect day" and "The Show! with Jon Bays"
  24. ^hahah I cant believe i forgot it, i had the picture saved and kept thinking about thats what i was gonna vote for
