Gordon Bombay

technically the coaster is in storage, but it is NOT coming back, at KI or any park for that matter, it is for sale as scrap metal.

Iwerks develops the movies, not the Paramount studios ride and attraction development team.

^Nope, it is the company who makes the ride that secures rights to the movies, paramount leased them the rights to spongebob to make that movie and in turn any park who wants to purchase that movie for their ride is allowed since the actual ride company has the rights. Paramount pictures made no deal with MGM studios to make a James Bond attraction and Paramount has had nothing to do with any of the recent James Bond films, they are still under the MGM franchise. The ride concept team out at Paramount studios are not the ones who design the movies for the Action Fx theatre rather it is the company who made and designed the action FX theatre........I cant remember their name. Anyone know?

^Technically Six Flags would be allowed to show the same spongebob show as us, the reason for that is because they have the same action theatre as we do. The company that produces that ride has rights to certain movies/cartoons/shows etc. Thats why we were allowed to show James Bond, an MGM movie, at a Paramount park and thats why Six Flags and Mall Of America can show Spongebob 3d, a viacom company cartoon, at a competitors park. Hope that clears it up.

At which Six Flags can you see it Vortex?

however it gets way too annoying, I hate that, I mean, if you want to talk to me, speak correctly... sheesh IF its too annoying for oyu then dont go to it, the purpose of the site isnt to please Legend Rider, and who cares what their sexuality is? They dont even state if theyre homosexual or not and it doesnt have anything vulgar on the site. thanks for posting it WooferBear they have some good pictures especially the ones of the old abonded amuisement parks.

^I cant tell for shizzle yo! Wow, some of the pics are really good but since when did white trash know how to use the internet.

If your referring to me... No I dont take care of snobby employees who think they know everything. That's Klocksters job. Not all of us are like the Dippin Dots guy.

^Actually the people who drive the trams do A LOT more than just drive the trams, they work tolls, admissions, take care of the parking lot, traffic management, and sometimes have to help security take care of snobby guests who think they know everything.

^Hopefully they learned their lesson and will not allow all season pass holders to bring in 8 free friends ever again.

^Ok Einstein, uhm, thank you for your comments, however before you whine why dont you read the whole topic. This is a message board, people have the right to argue and state opinions, i can rag on Titanics posts as much as i want considering they have no backing or fact in them, and he can say what he likes to me, we havent violated anything in the T.O.S.

Actually titanic ididot, If you read, which you seem to have some trouble doing, I never said you NEVER knew Craig Ross and the information you gave about him can be found just by searching these forums or reading the article that was written about him in the Cincinnati Enquirer. As far as Paramount outpricing themselves, theyre not there to try and compete with the beach fest, its part of a corporate chain, so those prices are throughout the chain, not just at PKI, theyre not designed to compete with individual competiton and Winterfest offers a lot more than the beach thing.

^Cant tell, was that sarcastic or not?

CombatStupendous89, you moron, I worked there for over 12 years. Get it straight. I was part of the original Winterfest crew. I was also part of the Fearfest crew. I was a full-time employee of the park, so while I may not know everything, I sure as hell know a lot more than the groupies and seasonal associates that post on this board. I was in the position of upper management for one of the Resale divisions. So I am extensivly versed in what is needed to make a successful event at PKI. You are the typical seasonal associate...think they know what is going on when they really have no clue. Show me the money, stupid.....when no one comes through the gate, there is no money. It's that simple. And by the way.....you have no idea how many times people were hurt on attractions. This was always kept quiet. On occasion, a statement was given to seasonals in the event someone asked, but the majority of them have been kept quiet. So the next time you hear that someone broke their neck on a ride, you should not dismiss it so quickly. You are so stupid to think these things do not happen....they do, more than you realize. PKI settles the suit and keeps it under wraps. One just recently.....I guess you know about that one, right??? Wow, Im guessing you have the jump to conclusions door mat on your front porch, you completely changed the arguement to a fight about resumes than what the topic was about, the point still stands that you havent proven you worked anywhere or know anything nor do you know where/when i worked at the park, who i knew at the park and still know, or what work my father has done for the park. So before you assume im some brat who worked in rides and thinks they know everything thats not entirely true, i know way more than the average seasonal associate who hears crap rumors from their supervisors. The fact still stands, winterfest has been succesfull so far, and the fact that your going through all this trouble to fight a losing battle against me and the members of this board is pretty pretty pathetic, you even themed your screen name on here to it. Bravo buddy. And, as already stated before, if you really held some big full time position where you were all buddy buddy with Craig Ross, I doubt youd be posting on this board and youd probably have something intelligent to say.

hahahah theres so many things wrong with the first guys post and its so pathetic that he took the time to create that name and now hes gonna complain when no one on this boards gonna agree with him. Why was there such low attendance? Well, its the day after thanksgiving, many people have spent a ton of money already, many are traveling, most are tired, its not really a good night for the opening event. Speaking as an emplpyee of the park and as someone who attended the original winterfest and was at this ones media night......it is a massive improvement! PKI did a fantastic job and anyone who is not gonna go form their own opinion because of this idiot is just cheap and lazy. Heres the thing with Winterfest...........if your not into holiday oriented stuff......then dont go.....if you like events like the festival of lights and want good family memories than go. PKI is about the family, and families seem to love what this winterfest has been about, Winterfest was designed with families in mind, not bitter old employees who notice little minor things that dont even matter to the guests. People its obvuious, look at what PKIC has provide........the videos and pictures.......if your not into the holidays then dont go cause this event is not about rides and thrills.........if your looking to spend some money on good family gun and memories, than winterfest is good for you and great for your kids. A_Titanic_Mess, give me a break you moron, how can you say it wasnt well executed and planned? Because you worked there 12 years ago and think you know everything about it? If you knew anythign about how the event was planned youd know why the admission is so high, its the same deal with fearfest. When fearfest started it wasnt chain wide so PKI was recieving little money from paramount to fund the event.....hence the admission fares. Now as that feafest is corporate wide......season pass holders get in free and admission for the event has been GREATLY reduced. SO far, winterfest has been highly succesful and the possitive feedback felt at the park has greatly outweighed the negative feedback. Lights on the tower already burnt out? Wanna show a pic of how awful the thing looks now, i was there Wed. and Friday, the lights looked fantastic. Im usually pretty critical of PKI, after working there, theres a lot i dont like about their way of running things, but they still do a fantastic job with certain things and winterfest did great. Kids thinking a light show and train is boring doesnt prove anything.........of course they think its boring theyre little kids. Wherent you ever a kid? Probably a real tight ass. Kids like being entertained constantly, sure they didnt find the train ride fun because they didnt understand the part about the soldier, and you can watch lights turn on and off in the cold at home, but did you see how many kids were having fun around the HB carousel and how excited they were to meet Santa Claus. Nothing wrong with stating your opinion buddy, yeah you didnt like it, but you dont speak for everyone so stop assuming you know what all the other park guests think and I wouldnt reccomend posting anything back, this is a pretty biased board incase you havent noticed, and no one cares to hear more of your crap. Your as bad as the guys who claim The Beast broke their kids neck.

Was the Scooby Doo ride any different?

^A Tatsu is a pathetic excuse for lack of imagination to create a cool name. Tatsu is jappanesse for flying dragon.

^Did you read about what it does? It goes much faster than the other types of freefalls and looks pretty cool.

I cant wait till Klockster builds that woodie with the zero-g roll some day...............ex-step son of teh Beast.

So now there will be 3 90 degree drops!?

Jeff really is a great guy, I spoke to him quite a few times when he would come up to Beast in the mornings. The first time I ever met him was the year before Tomb Raider opened and he kept telling me as we walked down the SOB exiteabout how great the ride was gonna be. Schlitterbahn is awesome, I hope it turns out to be a good job for him, is maureen now the head of marketing?

::punch:: ::Blocks punch, straight forward punch with right arm to LR's stomach, bends legend riders arm behind his back, throws him off rooftop::

nothing can beat The Beast, OMG, The Beast!

^Thats what I said.

Actually, yeah your right, Australia's Wonder land was the taft one that is now closed, however there is a park called dreamworld in australia that features Rugrats Runaway Reptar.
