The only thing Beast beats about SOB is that its longer. You said if SOB was 30 feet taller that it would beat Beasts record. Thats not true, SOB is already taller and faster and is the 2nd longest woodie in the world. SF is getting sad.

Paramount's Kings Dominion
Gordon Bombay replied to PKD4LIFE's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Not coming to any conclusions, since I have yet to visit PKI.... But technically doesn't it really depend on personal preferance which park comes out on top...? Again not saying that PKI isn't bad or anything. I know its just personal opinion, im jsut messing with PKD4LIFE to get him stirred up -
They still have people walking around as charecters, theres a special spot to even meet scooby
-
No offense taken at all, I know what its like to be treated like crap by an employee too.

Homer Jay, not all guests are annoying! Just the guests who are rude and inconsiderate to other guests and employees. You say we protect secrets like notional secuirity, why do we do this? Because we want to keep our darn jobs. When your hired by PKI they warn you that anything you know as an eployee but wouldnt know as a guest is not allowed to be shared, they even check sites like this to make sure we arent saying anything that guests will misinterpret. Why do we treat it like its the greatest job in the world? Because honestly, we like our jobs (or atleast the people on this site do), My job is a lot of fun and the people I work with our great. Yeah theres a lot of of employees who can be rude but theres A LOT of good ones too! No one said all guests we're annoying, just the ones who are rude. Just because your a guest doesnt mean you get treated like royalty no matter how you act, you get good guest service if your polite and considerate to the employees. Besides, the annoying habits of guests post wasnt just all employees complaining but guests like you as well!!!! I'm sorry you had a bad experience but stop by Beast sometime right before we close when we have power hour and you will have a good employee experience.

Paramount's Kings Dominion
Gordon Bombay replied to PKD4LIFE's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
PKD is a nice park, but honestly compare PKI to anoy Paramount park and PKI is gonna comne out on top, sure this is a PKI fansite, and its my opinion, but we've got the records, size, and attendance to prove it. -
Im working on recreating IJST in RCT3 but I cant get it very accurate due to the limits of RCT3.
-
Your right, Im just refferring to more modern times though. I have a book in my room that shows an old looping wooden rollercoaster. Joker, I agree with you about SFGA probabbly not getting yet another massive coaster so soon.

Information on Runaway Reptar Operations
Gordon Bombay replied to Spider and the Fly's topic in Kings Island
If your an employee do not reveal anything because you cant confirm who he is, if he needs info tell him to call Kings Island. -
NO!!! Please no, not FOF becoming AF!! AF needs to be a different type of coaster IF it gets built.
-
Sure theres proof that coasters are going to be built, but no one says if they are going to break these records for sure. id would really p**s me off to see Six Flags break the SOB record. SF is worthless these days and keep shooting themselves in the foot and running their company into the ground. Even in they break the height speed and length record we still have the FIRST AND ONLY wooden looping rollercoaster and a better reputation than ANY p.o.s. SF park.
-
You take a risk when going to a park though. Its your life, no one is forcing you to ride, if you get hurt and its serious seek medical attention. If the ride is operating, especially in this country, than it has been inspected by the state and local governments, its safe.

I love how people try to blame big companies like mcdonalds and PKI with bull**** lawsuits. Like the guy who got struck by lightning in the parking lot, while its tragic, its common sense, dont go near a big metal object such as your car. And that stupid b***h from Mcdonalds who claimed the coffee burned her! Did she not see the words "warning: hot coffee" on the cup? Why would oyu stick a cup of coffee between your legs anyway? Most of those people who file lawsuits are morons who are jsut trying to get easy money.

I saw Dane and someone else say they waited 5 plus hours for TTD. I cant imagine that, its over so fast, but I guess if your not up there often you gotta wait. I definenlty dont have the patience for that, I'd need a gameboy or my Ipod or something

Im the newest on the crew I think, so during my first two weeks I worked greeeter alot. I've been out guest relating during downtime too a few times. I have brown hair and my name tag says "Ronald" instead of "Ronny". I usually try to say hi to everyone who comes by greeter. Greeter isnt that bad to work actually. It's nice if your tired and its relatively shady and when the line is long its nice to sit and talk to guests especially tourists and tell them about how the park beats all others. But I really enjoy my job and I'm glad I got it. Everyone I work with and that I've met is extremely nice and helpful and the work day goes by quick and I have fun. We put on Power Hour at night and have a reputation as the best crew in the park.
-
I believe someone mentioned this the other day, I think it was near Festhaus by Bavarian Beetle.
-
I work at PKI as well, Beast crew, best crew in the park! Period.

^Those are small coasters though. If they were to remove The Racers that would be perfect room for a larger more costly coaster. We could see a new small coaster next year (I pray to god its not jsut a NC expansion and they give us a new flat or something) but we're not going to see a big massive coaster take racers place.
-
They are not going to remove The Racers, theres no point at all to doing that, the only thing that could take their place would be another coaster and we're most likely not going to get coasters two years in a row. Im sick of hearing about this Racer rumor, its so completely unrealistic.
-
Same here, I think it will be interesting to go in the winter! I dont believe any rides will be opened but my dad said when he took me as a baby that the carousel was open and so was the tower (although I dont know why youd want to go up that high when its so cold!) It will be interesting to see if they have ice skating on the pond again and if the IS restaurant is open.
-
Italian chef, I think I recognized you, I got sent over from Beast to AE during my shift. I was out guest relating and I think you came up to me to ask me why the ride was down. My name tag said Ronald and I had brown hair.
-
^I dont think the train would be removed, it provides good acess to the water park and isnt in anythings way. I dont think we would get the Spongebob coaster, we just got a coaster. Although, I could see Ghoster coaster being re-themed to spongebob since Scooby Doo already has a themed ride. They could re-theme it and make it like the super saturator at Carowinds.

I hope they put in a massive B&M that is themed to the blue footed booby, the best bird ever. -
Cincy Zoo Building New Park near PKI
Gordon Bombay replied to jzarley's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Thats interesting, the zoo needs to get out of down town, although it is the 2nd oldest zoo in the nation. It doesnt seem like it would be in competiton with PKI it seems more like another zoo if they were to build it.
