  1. Yes, PKD has FOF. But Kings Island installed FOF first and it was the first caoster to use LIM launch technology. PKD's opened a year later. PKD has a version of drop zone too as do all the other paramount parks but PKI has the worlds tallest gyro drop. Now to clear up any convusion; A gyro drop is a ride like our Drop Zone where there is no floor, you sit in a circular seating, and you spin going up. PKI has the worlds tallest of those. I dont know what PKD's is like but PC's only seats 16 people at a time and shoots you up then you fall back down and shoot upa gain and back down. That is a different type of drop ride.
  2. Yeah Six Flags is desperate, a lot of their parks are really going downhill.
  3. uhm.....scooby......while most men would like to see that....i dont think its family oriented
  4. Paramount needs to fight back with their own great spokesperson who can do something really cool. Any ideas people?
  5. I think they would probably theme it to Top Gun because it is better known. I dont think Sky Captain did that well at the box offices. The reason your legs stung off Face/Off is because you probably jumped right ot of the seat instead of getting off gradually. My frined showed me this on Drop Zone. He is a ride op at KI. If you let your legs be pushed up by the rushing air and you keep them sticking straight out then jump off the seat you will feel sharp pain through your heels and legs. I dont know what causes this but you get the same affect on Face Off. Just slide out of the seat carefully next time.
  6. ahh ok, thanks PKI punk. I really hate that show. Anyone got a picture from the opening credits where it shows collosus on the coast?
  7. Hahah i remember that pop up episode too, It is funny to see the bad edits. I remember the part when they told all the people to stay away from the brady bunch while they were filming and not to stare but yet during the episode you see so many people staring at them and forming a circle around them and that one kids keeps walking towards them.
  8. Thats what I thought it was too when I was browsing rcdb but I thought i remember the coaster on the show was on the coast of some body of water.
  9. While I am all for gay rights and I think this a great thing PKI does, this question comes to mind. PKI obviously lets groups who are willing to pay rent out the park for some time and have special days. Certain special interest groups like the gay and lesbian community of Cincinnati are allowed and that is fine. But what if they held a "Black family reunion" at PKI or an event celebrating the African American community at PKI. Im sure they park would let a group do this. But what if a group wanted to have a day celebrating "European decendants day" at PKI or a day celebrating the white community. Would this be considered racist jsut because they are the majority. I think that would be stupid.
  10. Ok, I hate the show Steb By Step. I hate its stupid theme song, and predictable plots. But, what is that darn coaster they show the family riding during the opening credits!? I searched Google and Tv tome and could come up with no answer. I even used RCDB to do a search for twin wooden coasters (from the looks of it it was a twin) and I looked at all the twin wooden coasters in the United States but could not find a pkicture that matched up with the one on full house. Im assuming it was in the US. Im pretty sure it was. Anyways, anyone know what stupid coaster that is? When I was searching google I found a message board where someone actually said it was The Racer before they moved it to Kings Island....idiot....
  11. If you go to Orlando I would reccomend hitting Universal over Disney (that is unless you have your kids with you) Universal has more coaster and thrill rides. Although Disney is great too, I went ofr the first time this year and its fantastic, they run their parks perfectly! They do such a good job! Although no matter where you go in Orlando be prepared to return with little in your wallet
  12. ^^ True but I dont know an FOF re-theme fo soundwave doesnt sound that cool. It would be all viacom sponsered artists and it would be whats considered "popular" music. So this probably means hip hop, pop, or some half assed sell out mainstream rock band. Remember the tagline ont he kI website "The best of hollywood entertainment now playing" and "Another holywood attraction comes to life at PKI!". A fof re-theme to star trek would be cool and inexpensive since its already in a building. Just add some more lights and effects. Although Im definently hoping for an Adams Family themed coaster!
  13. Borg Assimilator is a PC attraction but being that FOF is indoors it would be easy to re-theme it to the borg space ship from star trek. It would be very exciting too. I wouldnt count on soundwave coming to and Paramount Park. If they want to be family parks they will not associate with and MTV themed ride. Not after mtv planned the super bowl show where The Jane Jackson slip happened. MTV is not family oriented and just ask anyone who knows real music.....mtv sucks. MTV doesnt even play movie. And CM? IF your referring to CMT )country music televison) They wont do that. How exciting is a coaster put to country music? No offense to country listeners but thats not the music you put to a coaster, you put shredding guitar solos and powerful drums.
  14. IJST is going to have explosions and guns on it. Its based off a movie where they portray criminals and violence. I really seeing it getting bumbed up to a 4.
  15. I think if they re-theme FOF it will be to star trek, something iwth the boarg probably, because it already has some good space/futuristic theming in there. If Adams Family comes it is suspected that most likely it will be a vertical drop coaster. Remember reading about dropping straight out of the attic into the graveyard? A vertical drop would work perfect there. I could see KI do something record breaking and make a new type of vertical drop coaster.
  16. i hated it when SDATHC opended up and I waited forever for it, that may have the longest line, that ride always has a bad wait. It was good and its great for kids but Phantom Theatres effects were better. They shouldve kept some of the animatronics. Scooby doo is all like cardboard people jumping up. I guess I set my expectations too high after seeing the buzz lightyear ride.
  17. I think on opening day Delerium will have the longest lines just because its one of a kind around here (well with the exception of CP's maXair) and because its the newst ride considering IJST isnt open
  18. Hablo has a point, KI cant top PC in steel coasters but KI has some of the best woodies. The worlds tallest gyro drop and the first LIM launched coaster. Is PGA any good? I checked out its site and its coasters on rcdb and it seems like its the least popular Paramount park. I know it had the first flying coaster but thats gone now for a water park. It just doesnt seem as if PGA has as much as the others.
  19. My vote goes to KI. KI has the most coasters including two of the greatest woodies of all time who hold almost every record for wooden coasters! The SOB is the only wooden looping coaster! KI also is the #1 ranked seasonal amusement park in the world! PC and PKD are great but KI has the most thrills!
  20. Wow!! That ride looks great! I love how well the music and effects are synchronized and it must be awesome having the floorless topspin! And from my understanding the ride is not done! Yes, it gets better. From what Ive heard form the PKD fans on this site is that there is supposed to be more fire effects on the side!! It looks great!! PKD got a winner this year. Lets hope KI does too. Great job paramount development team!
  21. In response to the last thin Gulliver said: Those are some great rides you mentioned my friend. Your right, it is a shame. At places like Americana, Coney Island, and Strickers groove you can find some classic rides like that. Those smaller parks are nice to visit for half a day, no crowds and a lot of fun. Gulliver, I do know one thing about the rides you metnioned though. Screamin Demon is now at Camden Park somewhere in VA. but has been SBNO for awhile. If youd like to ride one like it you can go to Fun Spot in Angola Indiana (about 4 hours from here) and ride the first Arrow prototype of that type of coaster! heres a link to it: Fun spot arrow prototype I think RCDB is mistaken with the info about that coaster at fun spot though. I remember my grandma (who lived down the street from fun spot) showing me an article she had saved and telling me about how they moved the coaster to fun spot from KI. I can try to find the article she had but unfortuanently she died last year and I may nto be able to find it. I might be mistaken though. Anyways I thought you might be interested in that Gulliver. You are right, classics rule!
  22. I guess you could contact the park or maybe look on ebay or something. I think both the Brady and Partridge shows wil have season dvds coming out soon. Then you can probably rip that episode off limewire or something if you dont feel like buying the seasons. I Know the partridge family was about both Danny and Keith falling in love with some girl who worked at KI but was too old for both of them. The brady bunch episode is funny. But why exactly did both shows film episodes at KI? Was KI considered the nations top park at the time?
  23. It was given that title this season.....ask any acer and they will agree that it is a great coaster.
  24. The sad part is, he requested that title, we didn't make it up for him. lol Seriously, stop the flame war. Show respect to others' opinions on here. We were yelling a pkiflife guy cause he was insulting ben.......respect others opinions? he didnt, we didnt cause he was being an ass, and Dxrunner had ntohing to do with it. He wasnt respecting anyone.
  25. Hahahah Stan Mikitas is great!! Carowinds had one when i went (not sure if they still do.) It was hillarious seeing the ginat hockey player on top of the building that would spin around. Do you think maybe the donut place going into KI will be called Stan Mikitas?
