^There was more theming originally.

Ok so it shoots you off at the beginning yet your still swinging, soit begins different but most of the ride and the end are the same?

I was reading on Carowinds Zone about how the Hurler rollercoaster there used to be themed to the movie Waynes World and that in 1999 all the waynes world theming were removed from the ride. Does anybody have pictures of what the ride looked like with the WAynes World theming?

^That would be pretty cool, doesnt seem feasible or tangible though but that would be really cool if you could get to the top and see another one at GL but arent they too far away?

^They already do, in fact they had a better year than CP this year and beat CP in attendance last year and possibly this year, plus Kings Islands childrens area is rated #1 out of every park in the United States. The U.S. may not beat CP or Universal in evey aspect but they do a darn good job in other areas.

I work at beast, usually what most employees say is just crap heard from rumors. Its like that game telephone it starts out with one thing then ends up being another. 90% of the general employess dont know anything about whats coming in the future and how the park runs its business against other park chains. Some of us know stuff, most of us dont.

What are the chances this same topic will be started again again over the nenxt few weeks?

There's a great deal of history behind much of the park. Paramount, at least to this point, had little care or concern for that history and basically wanted to place thier brand on the park. With the advent of the return of Winterfest, I'm hopeful that someone in Paramounts Management division has come around to restoring some of the the things that made and make Kings Island a premier park. Paramount did what they had to do to make money, Im so sick of all these people whining, things have to change if the park wants to stay competitive and profitbale. There is stil A LOT of historical pieces scattered about the park, paramount is not this awful company you always make it out to be, theyve done more for the park than any past owner.

no not at alll one goes up and down and the other spins All skyhawk is, is a non spinning delerium/maXair, I dont see how it could be much different.

Survivor Themed? Give me a break. Im not saying that I doubt what you said CoastersRZ so that wasnt meant to be offensive, I just think paramount has gone completely stupid if they theme a ride to that.

What is PGA getting?

^Yeah, just as we've been saying for awhile, Skyhawk is a lower capacity, non spinning maXair... this makes me wonder if theyre going to be adding something else. I just dont see how they want to attract people with this attraction........ "Last year you waited in a long line then spun in circles and swung for a few minutes....now do it again this year but wait even longer and dont spin!! IN 2006 the thrills come yet again to Cedar Point." Maybe theyre trying to save some money.

Im glad to see CP putting in flats but uhm its like putting in the same ride two years in a row, is that the only thing their getting?

Isnt that thing just a double armed, non spinning, lowe capacity maXair/Delerium?

But, theyre probably not going to buy 6 brand new rides from Zamperla.......that would cost a fortune. All you people forget one big thing! PKI IS NOT THE FIRST PARK RECEIVING A NICELODEON AREA EXPANSION! Carowinds got one last year and many things were new, yet there was still a lot of re-theming, however even with mostly re-themed rides and little improvements the area looks gorgeous. Amusent rides arent cheap and amusement parks not cheap to run, PKI is looking to save money, just as all parks are.

^I think most people were telling him to stop bashing things like winterfest this year and how the park is run, when the park did quite well this year and ran smoothly, if he wanted to have a better time, all he would have had to do is have done a little research.

When you run a massive amusement park as energy costs rise and rise and rise and want to hold more events that cost more money then you can complain about ticket prices, PKI needs to make money if they want to have events like Winterfest at the park. Recalimer, I like what you said a few posts up! Fantastic point!

Do you have an article on that? Last I read from a newspaper in Houston some other companies were looking into buying Astroworld...

AHHHHHHH HES FROM THE FUTURE!!! wait, Fearfest doesnt take place on Sunday, October 30th 2005. Ahhh you and your time traveling nonsense!

I hope your talking about the Cincinnati Enquirer.........cause thats where we got the same secret information months ago......but shhhhh inside secrets!

Actually the Rickster is right, he knows what hes talking about.

I was just kidding with him.

Well its good to hear from you too Ariel!

Dont ever insult my intelligence again.......if you didnt remember........I am a minister......I dont wanna have to use my powers against you kid!

Me too, this will be my only visit this season as I have been living in California for the past two years attending berkley.......I cant wait to ride the flying eagles one last time....i heard this is their last year.
