  1. you need divx www.divx.com its free
  2. Awesome! what kind of camera was used to film those, decent quality but was it a regular digital still camera you used?
  3. ^Wouldnt happen due to the political factor of their last album Paramount Parks would nto want to be sporting that the only green day thing youll see at the park is a poster for the movie out front.
  4. ^If someone buys it, get an s video cable and run it from your vcr to, if you own one, a newer enough media center computer or an external device with an s video jack and save it to your computer, i can give you some webspace to host it on as im sure we'd all love to see it and if not the whole episode, maybe just some snipets. Id be willing to edit a trailer for it.
  5. Green Day will NEVER posess as much talent as Pink Floyd, they got popular after they ripped off a song from the band Chicago. You wont see anything Green Day at a Paramount Park due to the political factor, and im not saying i agree or disagree with the band, but I doubt they want anything that has to do with politics within a "family" park. I also dont see Green Day coming to Timberwolf..........why? because Timberwofl is a very sorry excuse for a venue and Green Day isnt controlled by Paramount theyve got other big whigs to listen to, theres much nicer venues they can play in that seat more and are more accomidating.
  6. We have a problem with people writing on the wood when the trains are stopped on the break runs. Simple solution, run one train, that way it doesn't stop on the break run. Of course, we all know the problem with that. Another solution would be to get employees that won't let the people who do that junk ride anymore, and eventually get kicked out of the park. If it ain't your's, don't mess it up. To solve, the problem of the foam on the lapbars, take it off. One ride without that foam on some rides, and I bet you they will wish it was padded. We, The Beast crew, love helping our friends in security take care of those who like to vandalize.
  7. ^lets hope not. I dont know whether you rjoking or being serious, but I doubt PKI would put in anyhting that has to do with politics.
  8. ^Shapiro was just put in charge so he made no decision as to the major coasters coming next year however this is probably true because everyone is now seeing the success paramount is starting to have with the family park process, Cedar Fair announced that this is what they need to start doing too........not so much the hollywood effect but the family friendly atmosphere.
  9. ^Disney has not lost lots of money because it has not put in thrill rides, wheres your basis for that? Disney is for families not thrillseekers, just tell your friends to get fast pass on the 4 day ticket system than you dont have to worry about lines. When my family went to Disney on that plan we got to go to any of the 5 disney world parks we wanted and use fast pass unlimitedly, it worked out great, got to ride everything we wanted, most things 3 or 4 times, and got to see all the parks, unfortuanently animal kingdom too. Universal is very comparable to Disney in price, both are very nice parks but each have a hefty admissions fee and vacation plan fees.
  10. PKD's scooby is so much better, I dont see why they didnt just re-themed some of the Phantom Theatre animatronics to work with the scooby theme, the carboard looking cut outs are dissapointing.
  11. Wells said Coasters N Sich, if all parks did things like Holiday World does, even if PKI did it, theyd improve themselves so much more.
  12. no, no one knows the exact details of whats going to be built yet, jeff said it would be a variation of one and did not specify whteher or not this would be the signature attraction.
  13. ^That sounds like a very good possibility scoob, good point.
  14. ^was the one last year in march or january? I remember going when it was somewhat cold out but Klockster was wearing shorts and a tee shirt and the IJ billboard and HD dinner werent done yet. Was there a second tour in march?
  15. ^I forgot you had that crystal ball and can see so far into the future, while I am certainly upset as well that Paramount has let certain things fall by the wayside, they have not ruined the park. For one thing its cleaner than it used to be, I like how theres no gum on every tree and filth throughout the streets like i commonly hear about how it was back in the early to late 80's and how much better the security has gotten in the past few years. PKI is a decent park, its no thrill park, but its a darn good family park. If you dont like it then why are you on this board? Its a fan website not a hate website.
  16. Indy 4 and Captain America.........f**k yeah!
  17. if you havent seen a disko and dont know what a disko is then how can you complain about it coming to the park? Geeze, come on dude, PKI's attendance may have dropped this year yet they were ranked FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW: THE WORLD MOST HIGHLY ATTENDED SEASONAL AMUSEMENT PARK by AMUSEMENT TODAY and awarded yet again the prestigious award of #1 CHILDRENS AREA IN THE WORLD and still have ONE OF THE WORLDS TOP 5 WATER PARKS. Go do some research.... www.amusementtoday.com "ENGAGE!"
  18. I know you dont like to read and all but I did nt say PKI was comparable to Disney right now, I said they are making their baby steps in that direction, PKI is not just putting in a Disk-o and no one even said it was going to be a disko in fact jeff said that it was going ot be a variation and did not say this would for certain be the anchor ride and in fact theyre not just putting in a disko moron, theyre expanding and renovating a whole area of the park. You say PKI is not world class? Well its definently no Disney, it hasnt been around as long and although part of viacom disney is well disney, one of the most succesfull companies in the world the point is that PKI has not gone downhill nor is going downhill, yeah your an old fart and cant deal with change but PKI is on a good path and is apparently doing things right....highest attended seasonal park in the world two years running and BB in its first year was ranked #2 water park in the world in 2004, right behind Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. PKI offers something for everyone in the family. and i forgot to mention PKI's childrens area ranked #1 five years in a row.......yeah PKI really isnt a good park at all. (*note sarcasm*)
  19. Sorry it gets you so down and the fact that you dont like change, but the park cant stay the same way forever, the park still does add thrills and gives quite a good variety of thrills for people, yeah PKI is no Disney yet.....and yes theyve made their mistakes but business must learn from challenge and change if you dont adapt to your surroundings your as good as dead, if Kings entertainment CO. still owned the park and we kept the wild animal habittat and th newest coaster was still The Racer Im sure the park would be splirting its last breaths now. Old KI is not all its crakced up to be and PKI is not a bad park at all, its one of the best int he country and the most highly attended seasonal park in the world for 2 years running. And Picard saying I think thrills are turd in punch bowls, thats just sutpid. Why dont you read what I said, I said PKI still offers thrills and thats a good thing but its marketed as a family park and is targeting itself towards families, like Disney does, thrills are good every now and then but families seem to be more healthy for business lately. Disney has thrills but a majority of its rides are available to nearly everyone making it fun and easy to take a family. Something for everyone, and thats what PKI offers.
  20. ^I just got back from the store, ill try to find the article.
  21. and now 3 years later in 2006, we'll see if he was telling the truth.
  22. ^Yeah and when did he say that? Go look for the Great Wolf Lodge article on the enquireres website, jeff seiberyt is quoted saying a new campground would come in 2007.
  23. Jeff Seibert already said a new campground will be coming in 2007, there will not be one for 2006 due to ocnstruction of the new lodge.
  24. No captain picard, because thrillseekers dont bring in the money families do, if thrillseekers brought in a lot more money to the park then youd see a trend of bigger better rollercoasters and such, but gearing the park towards families your catering to your largest group of customers who is also giving you the most profit, by doing this your gaining mroe profit which can be geared toward adding more attractions that arent always geared towards the young ones and families like a big rollercoaster. Captain Picard your wrong in saying that PKI hasnt done anything for thrill seekers since 1999.........2002 Tomb Raider The Ride 2003: Derlerium, both high thrill rides. Families bring in the money and the money eventually gets us the thrills and thats the fact. Besides PKI doesnt regard or advertise themselves as the most thrilling park in the universe like CP likes to do, PKI is a FAMILY park so you shouldnt come expecting Millenium FOrce and TTD sized coasters all over the place.
  25. ^King Bowser, any ocnfirmation yet as to when the scooby rights end? If sally dark rides has the rights to scooby wont KI just keep him around untill they decide to re-theme the ride?
