^I agree PKIbeast I cant stand him (because of this worthless war and all the stupid crap he is doing ..is it 2008 yet?) I dont support him at all! Is this a forum for politics? No. Keep your political views to yourself a$$ wipe instead of making yourself look like a dumb a$$! Atleast PKIBeast had something intelligent to say. Dont me laugh! Hey not everyone loves bush Combat...I hate the man myself he has screwed the middle class and the poor I was just agreeing with PKIbeast me and him see eye 2 eye. Nicktoon Blast was ok I liked seeing some of the old classics like Rocko,Ahh real monsters etc. Could you please elaborate as to how President Bush "screwed" the middle class and the poor? Really, I'd love to hear. Oh, and outsourcing jobs doesn't count, since President Clinton signed the bill that allowed corporations to do that. But please, tell me how President Bush ruined your life, I'd love to hear you say something that's actually more than just whining, since you know it really just makes my day and everyone else's to hear political banter, or more specifically a whiny liberal, on a PKI fan site. ^^you guys are funny! I can see when people say they dislike bush.. it really ruffles your guys feathers but if you must know why I dislike your pres NOT MINE...then I will tell..pres Bush messed up a lotta peoples lives by having this worthless war where so many young men and women are dying yet there isnt a reason why we are in war. He screwed middle and lower america over by YES taking away jobs making taxes higher he lied about so so many things and yet stupid people will still follow him over a bridge! He's the reason why gas is so high and dont tell me less because bush is an oil man. Now Combatdork listen up I know who you are you work at ..The Beast and your first name is ronny I know because I work with you! I know you are in favor of bush and thats fine but I'm not and the reason why we are speaking of this is because you got p*ssed off at my comments I was agreeing with PKIbeast he knows his stuff. Bush Lied and you know it!.. in my own opinion Bush is by far the worst president ever! Worthless war? Try telling that to the dead children laying int he streets who died from Saddam Husseins nerve gas attacks. High Gas prices Bush's fault? How so? You just say but offer no proof. He took away jobs? No outsourcing began when president Clinton signed the bill to allow it. We can keep talking over PM but I agree, no more political banter on this topic. Nick Central Expansion...woot!

So did Taft eventually sell Coney off? I know Taft developed Kings Island because of Coney's flodding problems, but why didnt they keep up coney as well?

^Amen to that Ryan. This isnt a site for politics, and if your gonna complain about politics make sure you know what your talking about first gigglinggreenidiot. I've had many political discussions with PKIBeast and atleast he has a good head on his shoulders. As for a possible Nick Expansion, I really hope they fix up kiddy land and make it look extraordinarily nice. Some of the older rides like the HB carousel and Boo Boo's Baggage claim are starting to look crudy. The HB carousel has a nasty tarp over it and half the lights are out, Fenderbender 500 has paint chipped away everywhere and looks really run down, Hucks Hot Rods has holes all over its tarp and most of th e long lights on the supports are extinguished.

I love those photos, fantastic collection!

I have my ways of getting the info I need Full timers also have ways of getting rid of employess who say to much and violate their confidentiality statements.

And now Scooby and his gang of mystery solving terrorists will try to bring down PKI.....jerks. But on topic, I've seen all that dirt out there for awhile, looks like this thing is gonna be huge.

Yes, Ackbar I probably would still find it thrilling, the helix is pretty intense, and I love LIM launched coasters, most people woudl still find it thrilling, theres quick turns and sudden drops, plus its smooth so it would still do good, sorry PKI isnt buidling 400 foot tall rocket coasters that have horrible reliability, too bad not everything caters to the Acers, no offense but its a famiy ride for famlies. Im not saying ACE is bad, I'm just saying, the rides for the genral public, not just coaster enthusiasts and I think everyone needs to stop getting so upset that htey put it in.

I bet in that one picture Scooby was sabotagin it because of the possible HBV removal.

That was the idea for Top Gun: Supersonic, although it never said it was going to be Vekoma, and unlike the current tilt coaster it was going to be a flying version. It looked very cool.

I figured youd no more about the attraction, however it was not at all going to be a dive machine by B&M like everyone claimed, it was going to make quite a good coaster.

It was just in a survey held by paramount, but paramount doesnt have the rights to make the coaster and use the theme, so it may not ever.

^Exactly, an IJ re-theme wouldnt be hard, and Ij will not lose as much popularity as you think. You comparing crappy fake artsits to a rollercoaster is pretty stupid when theyre too very different things. IJ wont lose its popularity because, a big variety of people can ride it and its not like anything else in the park, and dont compare ti to FOF because while it may use the same launch system they are two completely different rides. If IJ sucked and the feedback (Im not talking about the judgement of its poularity by line time, like you are, but the feedback received from surveys and intervies taken at the park) wasnt good, then it wouldnt be getting cloned, IJ wouldnt have been made in the first place if it didnt do well in the survey, and I know your gonna say like everyone else on the board "It did live up to be what they made it out to". While some of us coaster enthusiasts (and Im not talking about ACERS, but people on baords like these who are more into parks, thrill rides, and coasters than the average person) may think it sucks, the average people at the park is loving it, and its a winner.

I hear Soundwave did really well on the paramount surveys I think we will see it I dont know when but ... I think we will see it in the near future. Where did you hear this from, do you have any of the results? Soundwave would be garbage, I cant even listen to the radio anymore because the musics so bad these days.

The original theming for the ride was desinged by the same man who designed the sets in the movie.

Oh, I forgot, you have that crystal ball that tells you exactly whats gonna happen in the future. The Italian Job has been in the public eye for quite some time, its been made into two successful movies, one in the 60's and the curretn plus a sequel will come out soon. And how do you know IJ cant be re-themed to another movie some day? Do you have knowledge of every paramount movie coming out in the future? FOF still gets long lines every day for being agreat ride, IJ is great because its made for anyone from kids to adults, and thats why it will stay popular.

Admiral, speaking of Filling Bat's shoes and footers, I got some great pictures of some crumbling Bat footers and other Bat remnants that can be seen from the midway, I'll post soon.

Yes I have, and the reasons MC hammer is no longer popular is because he wasted all his money, not because he wasnt any good at what he did. IJ is good at what it does, its thrilling for multiple types of people, not just one group and thats why its a success.

IJ is a hit with the public and paramoutn has seen that, if it didnt receieve good feedback then it wouldnt be getting cloned.

The public seems to disagree, if the ride sucked and wasnt doing well, then Paramoutn wouldnt be duplicating it.

Maybe for the Acers IJ is broing because it doesnt have 400 foot hills and goes over 60 mph, but the public is loving it, and it will be a big hit at PKD too.

Id like a more current theme, such as Star Trek with the borg, but I never ever want to see Soundwave!

Really? i was told you guys took only one off the track last year, but now you were just leaving them on.

YIKES!!! That ( http://www.rcdb.com/ig141.htm?picture=8 ) is where you load onto the coaster!? Theres nothing on the left side of the train, Id be so nervous.

Thanks for the video link CoasterKrazy! That prototype model of the suspended inversion coaster looked like it was going pretty fast, its too bad no one that Ive read about is researching something like that today, Id kill for a long suspended coaster with inversions, anyone know how they made that tiny model? maybe a little work on RCT3 will let me come up with something cool... Check this out...
