  1. A Batwing and a Boomerang are the same according to RCDB.
  2. Yes, most of PCW's coasters are absolute jokes. Whats up with the Demon out at PGA? RCDB says it has 4 inversions and that the corckscrews were replaced with vertical loops. So are there 4 vertical loops or are the corckscrews still there and two more vertical loops added elsewhere? Edit: Ok I just read that the two airtime hills were replaced with two vertical loops. Has anyone ridden this coaster? Is it any good or does our Arrow, Vortex, blow it out of the water?
  3. When IJST was announced at PKI there was a conference and a whole big display by the fountains, they wouldnt just put up one small sign at PKD. IJST isnt bad, its no TTD, but its a decent coaster. And maybe just like the Tomb Raider rides they will make improvements for PKD. Our Tomb Raider has obviuosly had a lot of downtime and problems where as PKD's seems to do good. Maybe paramoutn will learn from their mistakes with IJST and fix the one at PKD IF IT DOES GO TO PKD. Only time will tell.
  4. They were probably selling it as spare parts or scrap metal.
  5. King Cobra was neat, but B&M stand ups are way better than Togo stand ups any day.
  6. Most likely if it fell out of your pocket then it was in the train, a guest probably turned it in or it was found by an employee. At the end of the night we turn it into security. You hopefully have a good chance of finding it. So far thsi season every cell phone Ive found on Beast has been re-claimed within the day.
  7. I believe PCW has the HUSS version of one of those and befoe soaked came out that was the closest ride you could build like delerium.
  8. If anyone would like to use one as a background for their computer or anything, AIM me or PM me and I'll send you the full size.
  9. You can use it for Fearfest but nto Winterfest.
  10. Buzz bars and a lack of seat dividers and seatbelts must've made The Beast even more intimidating when going up the first hill.
  11. To post pictures on PKIC's gallery you have to be on the PKIC staff. However, if you wish to share your pictures with other on the site, you can create a yahoo account and post a topic here like I did Here
  12. No, Six Flags owns the ride rights to DC comic book charecters hence why every six flags park has the over done batman/superman theme.
  13. Someone here doesnt read the rules and doesnt use proper grammar.
  14. A lot of the accidents though at the Disney parks have been caused due to medical conditions and guest stupidity.
  15. I rode Days of Thunder for the first time when I was 7 and loved it. I recently rode it again a couple of weeks ago and thought it was totally lame. Once youve ridden the go karts at places like Nascar speedpark, you see how boring and dull DOT is. Even if you havent been on a major go kart track its still pretty boring. You can go in circles even faster in your car.
  16. The Beast. Duh.
  17. ^Its ridiculous? Its not Disney's fault, Disney isnt causing the accidents. The kid dying at mission space died because of his medical condition and the man injured on tower of terror was injured due to a condition. Disney isnt forcing these people on the rides, its their fault that they arent reading the rules and recomendations.
  18. Actually the trains currently on The Beast I believe are more recent than 1982, either that or they were re-painted.
  19. I loved how the Kings Mills flume looked better than the Thornberries but really their the same ride experience minus the makeover. You still get the same effect ride wise. But theming wise, it is definently a hollywood makeover.
  20. Look at how it looks NOW compared to how it USED to look. That is definently a Hollywood makeover, even if the show does suck and doesnt have any new episodes and is only shown at 6 in the morning.
  21. In the iwnterfest vid Maureen and Jeff build it up like its going to be the perfect story book event ever! I just hope it lives up to all the hype they promise. With all due respect to those two great people and the park, things at Kings Island tend to get hyped up a little bit and made out to be what they really arent. I remember the first year of fearfest was terrible but now its great. Lets just hope things go great and Winterfest is a hit!
  22. It doesnt look very safe. It looks like its homemade and that pool that you dump into looks really crappy and unsafe. I read an article last night that the Comfort Inn in Sandusky by Cedar Point was building a new indoor waterpark that would have a "looping" waterslide. But it didnt give any more specific details or artist renderign pictures so I wonder if when they say "looping" they mean it takes a turn and loops around something.
  23. ^What are you talking about? I always slaughter monkey statues before putting out my milk and cookies.
  24. No, the question is, why do you think it got its systems changed? Kong Fu Man, you have spread enough crap and false rumors on these forums again. No one believes a word you say. Remember this "TRTR is gone"? Your an idiot, I think its time someone banned you again. Grow up and get educated before you try to pretend you know what your talking about.
  25. ^Very True, theyd have to be retrofitted.
