Some main points that she hit (notice that a lot of these rumors were started on here) Vortex is NOT sinking and will open this year. SOB will be open this season, but not necessarily on time. NU will look MUCH better than a carnival. The Beast is NOT going to Carowinds. The park is up for sale. PKI will be PKI still (under the Paramount name) for at least the 2006 season. Jeff Siebert was not the CEO of Paramount's Kings Island, and his departure does not mean that all progress will stop! FoF at PKI will be open this season, but the one at PKD's future remains a mystery!!

Tonight was officially the beginning of the end of the offseason as the American Coaster Enthusiasts sponsored the event Winter Soar at PKI! Not only did the event include door prizes, dinner, an auction, and special guests speakers, but it featured a special Nickeloden Universe construction tour! Guest speakers were: Keith Chalpaty from Wyandot Lake John Robinson who works in marketing for several regional parks. Brian Kosmac, Rivertown area manager ...and of course the lovely and talented Maureen Kaiser from PKI's marketing communications! Click here to see photos of the NU construction tour! Click here to see photos from ACE's Winter Soar! Regards, Ryan PKICentral.com - Dane won the tower statue? BOOO!! BOOO!!!

Remember

Ya Darn Trouble Maker You! <G> It's easy to attack, but holy geeze, it's the funniest thing ever...

It's unlikely that it's track for NU. Rather, there is a plant in Batavia that manufacturers coaster track for B&M. It's more than likely what you saw.

I think the official list as of 04 was: Tower Train Carousel Tiques

What happened to the guy?

Every seat that I know of in which you get wet is in the front row. Particularly there's one slightly to the right of the center (when facing the goldola).

The legend I was talking about before apparently happened in the early 80s. As far as people just "jumping in", I've heard they catch people doing it every year and have them arrested.

He didn't make it to the fountain , there a good 100 feet away. he fell into the counter weight pit under the tower, my wife was there the night it happen. 22 pages this thread will never die. He's talking about a different story. Apparently a guy was drunk and dove into the Royal Fountain and died. I've never heard any official record of this, so I'm willing to write it off as not being true.

I'm not entirely certain what you mean. Are you saying we should reformat just the employee section?

There's a certain legality behind that. Nick and HB characters aren't even allowed to be printed on the same letterhead. I disagree. I'd say in an individual visit a ticketholder will spend much more, but how many average visits does a ticketholder go per year? Maybe 2? On the other hand, season passholders who may only spend a little money in the park while they're there, they probably stil end up spending much more throughout the course of the season.

I think their hook for SOB was the first "modern looping coaster". Woodies looped in the past... but it wasn't pretty.

I assure you, the rides listed in the "New Nick Universe Attractions Released" thread are the only three rides which will be added this season.

I'm not going to call a meeting day on Easter because that's just one of those things that just kind of happens. Who am I to toy with nature?

**New information: The SOUTH TOLLS will be open at 4:45pm on Friday for the event. Park around the handicap lot. We will meet at admissions and the tour will begin promptly at 5:00. Remember your $8 for the pizza and DO NOT TRY TO ENTER the park before either the tolls open or Maureen instructs you to! She promises to give a full and thorogh tour with her infamous bullhorn in hand!

I think "Keep your hannds inside the car" is referring to not reaching out and touching things on the sides. If it really were the law, they'd probably enforce it more. Simply the liablity would be worth them yelling at you.

That's the beautify of it... you can use any skin you want! Personally, I always found the IJ skin to be a little too dark for me.

Why do you keep knocking the fact that the rides can be trailer mounted? Almost every flat ride in existance has the ability to do that.

Kind of like the movie breakfast club, Ally Sheedie goes to detention because she has nothing esle to do , That's good Ha... kind of, but I wouldn't say I was so cavalier that I wasted their time by letting them interview me. I was going to take a tech job had they offered it to me. Unfortunately, there were no spots opened, and by the time they called me offering me a tech spot, I had just gotten a new sup at Best Buy and felt as thought it would be irresponsible of me to leave him hanging with a bunch of new people.

They used to do it for a few hours a day before opening day. Usually this is something the announce about a week in advance. We'll be sure to have any information we get posted on the site.

In the spirit of the New for 2006 Nickelodeon Universe, PKIC has added a little taste of our own. Now you can enjoy the haphazard look and feel of NU with a brand new forum skin! Click here to alter your skin! Ryan

I've never seen the first one, but I'm going to disagree about the 2nd... I thought it was really good. I'll definitely see 3.

Why the negativity? Yeah, it's dirt... but think of it this way: in just a few months, it'll be an amazing kiddy area! Seriously, it's construction... there's dirt involved.

We have been asked to create a roster of all who intend to attend the Winter Soar event. Click here and add your name to the roster if you are going. Thanks, Ryan
