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.
-
The soundwave re-theme is nto almsot certain at all!
-
We will probably get the NC expansion and with that maybe theyd install the Boating School but I would really hate to see that, Id really like to see KI to get the first Adams Family Coaster.
-
I didnt hear the sirens at all. I was kind of dissapointed in it with how short it was, but I guess I cant say for sure if I like it untill everything is working right.

PKI Hits the Nail Right on the Head!
Gordon Bombay replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
^^I think they dropped the title "Outer Limits" from the ride because the show Outer Limits went off the air. They probably didnt want to theme it after a show that no one knew anything about, that leads me to believe FOF will be re-themed to some other space oriented movie but they couldve jsut lsot the outer limits rights too, either way who knows. Great job Boodah, your right KI does a phenominal job with coasters and setting the pace for other parks. -
Yep thats the cemetery. Today I drove down the employee entrance to get into PKI and I noticed an old barn and a baseball field, does PKI own the land that those sit on? Heres a link to some more pictures and some information about the cemetery on KI's land. KI CEMETERY

What was the secret surprise in the tunnel?
-
Yeah you can see it just off to your right as you go past KI drive, it was built long before KI was. You can probably find records at a Mason City building or city hall. If anyone does find records please let us know on here, that would be really interesting to learn about.

This is probably the 100th time this topic has been created

yeah as a whole paramount employees are better. PKD, PCW, Carowinds, and PGA needs to send some of those employees to pki. Actually PKI employees are some of the nicest people you will ever meet often times its the guests who think they dont get fair treatment by the employees, I hate how the guests think they need to be treated like god's and feel as if they know everything.
-
PKI would never sell out to Six Flags, we wouldnt get a 500' rocket coaster or multiple B&M's. SF is running itself into the ground, they dont even have enough money to buy a Coke at PKI. Paramount maintains and rusn their parks better and has better attendants and employees. But the Batman theme is pretty cool, although getting a bit played out.
-
We already have a Top Gun ride that works fine and brings in people, the problem iwth a B&M is that there arent that many movies in the first place that you can theme a coaster too and while paramount has some great ones they dont have that many right now, not really any movie that I can think of that could be themed with a B&M coaster, but theres always imagination. If a B&M comes it would most likely be a dive machine built for Adams Family, if we were to get that.
-
I imagine it would be a water coaster, I think a water coaster would be a better ride to use for a theme that takes place under water, you can still do some pretty wild turns and get a fast pace with water coasters. Maybe they could do something like IJST and give it small LIM brakes that could bosot it after water splashes. Thats what I do when I make them on RCT3. The worlds fastest water coaster (or atleast on ym RCT3 games) 83 m.ph.
-
^Ive ridden Journey to Atlantis, or whatever the one at Sea World Orlando is called, its a great ride with great theming. Mrs. Puffs boating school would be and indoor/outdoor water coaster. A ride like that themed to Spongebob would bring in lots of people.

Paramount's Kings Dominion

^^"everyone is already believeing it"? So there is no truth to it, dont spread false rumors. Wait till mid season till they announce attractions. -

And how do you know this for sure? Do you have any links? proof? Not tring to be a jerk, just skeptical. -
PKI's future is in theming and amazing flat rides, maybe one day we will get a B&M but not anytime soon.

What do the Donatos ones say?
-
My band considering having some braclets done with our names ont hem to sell at shows but I think its an abuse of a good idea.
-
I agree, the braclets started out as an awesome idea: to raise money for cancer research. But like almost all good ideas, some idiot has to come a long and spoil it. I saw my sister come home the other day with a green and purple ones on and i read them and they said "Spoiled" and "Princess". The braclets are a great fundraising idea for people who NEED the money.

^Im sorry zoso beast, i read too quickly, i didnt realize he said May 20th, i thought he said next weekend or something.
