^^ Hahahaha and now Cedar Fair owns that park and isnt in debt.

I lost my wallet once on The Vortex when i was 13 and was about to go insane because I was worried it fell out on The Vortex during the corckscrews (i have nightmares about losing things from my pockets on those things, everytime i ride) Luckily i dropped it in the que somewhere and a ride op picked it up and I filled out a report and picked it up later. I was really glad the employee was that honest (not that I assumed PKI employees would steal, but it was a lot of money and I was scared). PKI has really great people working for them (and Im not jsut saying that cause I got a job there) But Im really greatful for hwo nice the working enviroment seems to be.

Thanks for the info jz! Does Paramount manage any other parks? I dont think so. I didnt think theyd be looking to buy any other parks considering Viacom considered putting the paramount parks division up for sale.

Thanks for the corrections and info

The video is very cool and very accurate, the only thing that you left out was the chopper scene and the tunnel sequence.

It looks really small, but Id love to Paramount do some expanding, even thought I doubt they will due to money and it being so close to PGA

He lives in germany. I know, that is why I said "and you havent been on the tours or anything" because he cant, because he lives too far away.

I read somewhere that Bonante Gardens is owned and managed by Paramount Parks, how long have they owned this park and is their any chance of it being labeled an "official" paramount park? I checked it out on RCDB and it said it had 2 coasters, one seemed like a kiddy coaster and the other seemed like an Adventure Express ride that had about the same intensity (judging from the pictures Id say those are the same cars Arrow used on AE) Is Paramount considering adding this to their list of parks? Maybe add a themed coaster or two and some other attractions, although it would be a big cost it would be cool to have another park under our belts. I know Star Trek Experience is considered a paramount park. Paramount's Kings Island Paramount's Kings Dominion Paramount's Carowinds Paramount's Canada's Wonderland Paramount's Great America Paramount's Star Trek: The Experience Paramount's Bonfante Gardens seems quite impressive eh? If they did turn BG into a Paramount park would that give us more parks than Cedar Fair?

Six Flags is cool and all and the theme park busniss is a risky business but I hate allt he cut backs they make and how half @$$ed they're getting. They just spent like crazy and they are now millions of dollars in debt, hopefully things turn out better for SF cause Id hate to see them let go of more parks, because who knows if the parks they let go can operate by themselves without SF leadership, Things turned out well for GL cause it got bought out by CP. One rumor I dont want to get spread about SF though is that they are unsafe....sure they may have laid off some maitenance people but I guarantee that U.S. amusement parks are safer than going on the highway.....those rides are inspected everyday and the US has very high standards when it comes to parks

^Yikes! ok i changed it to the correct thing, my brain shut off for a second there

^ You could be right reclaimer but I think it was just open that weekend to get some feed back, we"ll see though. I cant wait for the real opening!

Scooby Doo.....Im getting a vision.....The Addams family house on a spooky rivertown pond crawling with fog effects and the sounds of a B&M dive machine in the distance....god we can only hope....no matter what happens Im sure whatever PKI gets its going to be good.

Yes......and no one better forget that......PKI.....flagship park.

According to the sign inside the front gates this past weekend it said that it was only open for technical rehearsal April 29th, 30th, and May 1st and you need a season pass or gold pass to get a ride rehearsal ticket.

If Six Flags bought PKI.......we would have half our caosters and attractions re-themed to DC comic charecters, HB land and Nick Central would be come crazy looneytoons world, the employees would be worse, the cleanliness worse, the maitenance worse, the upkeep worse, basically SF would make bad business decisions and run PKI into the ground like they did with a lot of other parks..but since SF has done this.....they dont have the money to buy PKI, so we dont have to worry about that, it doesnt matter anyways because KI isnt for sale.

^Hell yeah man, AF looks and sounds great (as long as its not wild mouse)! I really hope screamscape is wrong about PKD getting it. Theres a new MI movie coming out? Why!? The first one was good......the second sucked terribly!

IJST was relatively "cheap" as far as coasters go, KI got a good bargain with the ride, we can expect bigger and better things in the years to come. KI is the #1 attended seasonal amusement park in the world and sales and attendance are booming. I really hope screamscap is wrong, and no offense PKD, but I really want the Addams Family Coaster....give it to us! You guys can have the mission Impossible stunt show or soundwave. We want AF!!

Vortex does depend on your height, if your not somewhat over those OTSR's your going to get a bit of a head bashing, but Vortex is still fantastic.

There will not be a B&M replacement to Top Gun, dont worry about it, Top Gun isnt going anywhere for a long time. I dont believe we wouldve had the same Top Gun ride as carowinds, Carowinds B&M invert was originally supposed to be themed to the movie Godzilla but that movie did terrible at the box office.

The theming was great (lets just hope they keep it up) and it was a lot of fun, but I kind of wish it was longer, but we will see when it completely opens up how it is. PKI is doing better with theming and is doing a geat job, no matter what they put in next, as long as its cool and well themed, i think it will be a hit.

Im praying that we get the Addams Family theme soon, but probably not next year, I think they will probably put that Mission Impossible stunt show in KI maybe next season, hopefully it will be good. Stunt shows seem to be getting popular, the Indiana Jones one at MGM is fantastic, the new Batman one based on the movie coming to Six Flags looks cool, and I heard good things about the Tomb Raider one, although it didnt come back this year. A Mission Impossible stunt show would be ok as long as they had cool special effects and an awesome set although I owuldnt want it to come as a major attraction, Id much rather see a ride than a show come in, in the future.

Unfortuanently that what be a big cost to develop cars like that to fit on an arrow looper and I dont know if they would be able to operate like that with the G-forces applied by the coaster. But I like the imaginative thinking, that would be a very cool idea if it worked, maybe if a computer turned you upside down at certain points so you wouldnt hit very high G's. it would be more like lfying in a fighter plane and give PKI another one of a kind ride, the cars would have to look like planes though.

KC trains are still around because two other paramount parks can use them for spare parts, not all the Tique cars are still around it only looked like about 6 were back there (from what I could see from The Racer). Certain toon pike cars could be made from old tique cars.

In the Nick Expansion if they did create the Nickolodeon "Toon Pike" they could use some old Tique cars and re-theme them and use them in the ride (if you notice there are a few sitting behind by The Racer, you can seem them while you ride)

Thats too bad the band casting is over, I already go a job working ont he Beast, id love to try out next year for the school of rock show next year as a guitar player. The show sounds amazing.
