Yet still a NAD chasi and a NAD car. You can have a ford chasi decorated to look like a pontiac, yet its still a Ford, and the cars on the eagle are not the common PTC rolling stock you said they were. Pwned.

Looks like the NAD cars to me. I get to spend hours staring at PTC trains each weekend, and those featured in that picture are much different from the PTC's I've seen featured on The Beast, Racer, Raven, and Legend. Plus theres this The cars featured on the Screeching Eagle are actually Nad chasis retrofitted with PTC lap bars and electronics, as mentioned in the previous link.

Show the picture them and comparing Beast fans to Nazis is pretty stupid, your fanatic about Voayage and Holiday World just as Hitler was a fanatic fan of Germany. Sieg Voyage! Sieg Legend Rider! Sieg Internet coaster nerds!

First off, if there was some type of accident that was serious enough for PKI to be forced to close the ride, the state would be launching an investigation and you would know about it. The ride would not be running if it was safe for people to ride and not get hurt. Yeah its rough, but its not even close enough to be able to break your neck! Yes, people have come off with broken necks, i remember reading about that, they also had previous neck injuries and were not supposed to be riding and lost their suit against Kings Island.

From what past articles have said, it will still be Paramount's Kings Island. Now that they are advertising CSI and other CBS shows on Qtv throughout the park maybe they will be put in some attractions dealing with CBS shows. Like that stupid attack of the bugs made for tv movie CBS put out. Maybe a CSI attraction.

they were / are maintained by PTC now, Gah! Freaking pay attention!! Maintained by PTC, but are NAD vehicles none the less and Klockster you are correct, they still have the single lap bar and the site claims plans for 2006 are pending. And Legend, you really need to chill out, Voyage may be good, but Beast pwns Raven and Legend any day.

::Throws a guiness book of world records at Legend rider::

Good find. FOF/z, ive heard so many different things, its nice to get the truth.

What rides did you work at, at Americana?

Wow, is that really necessary?

That was quoted from the website Ryan provided, in that picture and caption the guy claims that the final bunny hill of The Racer was removed. Is tht true? The Racer looks the same to me and the same to pictures on RCDB.

Yeah that guy who took pictures of the patriot track sitting outside its manufacturing facility really screwed things up for the rest of us. What a jerk!

I will get to be one of the last people to go to the bathroom at Holiday World this year!!1!!!11!! Oh yeah, Sunday! Gotta love those HW bathrooms at night!

I always make guests aware of the non smoking areas when they are smoking outside them, usually they are nice about it and instead of forcing them to put out their cigarettes I make sure they walk over to the area, however when they are rude sometimes they dont listen and just flip you off, curse at you, or just shrug and walk away. If you told an employee that someone was smoking and they jsut shrugged at you Mike, you should definently report them. One problem with the ban is that PKI doesnt really have the force to enforce it. While security does a fantastic job, they cant constantly look for smokers and while employees like myself try to enforce it, sometimes we arent taken seriously. Especially the younger ones. Its a shame that it even has to be that way and that some people arent eve courteous at all.

By the way, I am not lying about this. This was featured in the Enquirer a few days ago. She will be there signing autogrpahs around 12 noon. Im trying to find a link to the article but the search feature on the Enquirer's website sucks!

Its pretty much common sense that The Racer train was not running on SOB and I highly doubt that The Bat train was running on Top Gun.

This looks like another family coaster

Yes, Ive read the concept, theres also a feature where in the pre-show room as you watch, the floor drops one inch to make everyone jump and get startled. The thing with the dive machine only showed a picture of some art concepts of the theming and a pciture of a dive machine car, spinning and twirling describes a wild mouse coaster and te track layout featured in one of the surveys, the same one as the Top Gun Supersonic, was too tightly put together to be a B&M.

Where was there a picture of a dive machine? Dive machines are not compact at all and while Id rather have a B&M than a wild muse any day, I dont see it working with the theme.

Was it a PKI concept put out by Paramount or just one someone made? From the pictures I've seen on the PKI concepts, it was a wild mouse.

Why? It would still have the problems that it has right now. The design of the entire ride is what makes it rough. Plus, it would require Intamin trains designed to take a loop and take the angles that SOB does.

You want bigger thrills and Im not trying to star crap or anything but if its a wild mouse dont get your hopes up, it probably would only be as fast as if nto slower than IJ. Although theme would completely kick @$$ really the only thrilling thing it has going for it is a 90 degree drop. I agree with Joker, I think an X-Car coaster would do great or a Eurofighter with the 93 degree drop. Also scoob, when was there a concept for an Adams Dive machine, I think the only reason people think that is because of the popularity of B&M dive machines, but B&M's are big coasters and from reading the concept, it seems more like a wild mouse coaster. Ghost is right, the Hautned Mansion at disney is amazing. I think the best thing they could do with the Adams Family coaster, is right before they drop you 90 degrees they have the effect where you look in the mirror and see the ghost sitting with you. I definently want and Addams Family ride, but it hasnt been confirmed if Paramount has the rights for an amusement ride themed to AF.

Running a Racer train on SOB? come on. When would they do this? This would require taking a whole train off one ride, modifying it, running it on another ride, taking it off that ride, modifing it again, and having it ready to run by the next operation day. That means they wouldve had to have done it between after sunday night close and the day the park opened the next friday. Not im possible but come on, when theres many other things that need to be done, they wouldnt do that. As for the trains I dont see what your all complaining about, its the track that makes it rough, the trains have little effect. Your better off with those Premier trains than anything else. If those trains didnt keep you in so tightly then youd be thrown around even more, and why do the trains get thrown around? Because of the tracks state, construction, and design. Be glad that the Permiter Surveilance Vehicles hug you so tightly, it could be worse. Imagine SOB with the older PTC trains, one lap bar and no head rest.......ouch!

Are both sides of the Action FX theatre open? I was reading the map the other day during work and it was describing the NICK or TREAT attractions and it said there was a kiddy 3d show or something with moving seats. Are they showing that instead of Spongebob currently?
