Don't be deceived by the looks. Delirium doesn't look all that great on paper in my opinion and we know what a great ride it turned out to be. I think the Skater looks the most promising.

^ Give it up Shaggy, some people will NEVER realize that this one's for the kids. lol

Hmmm, from the pics it looks like less of a hostile take over and more of moving in of some old carnival rides. I disagree. The rides and attractions as a whole seem like they'll add a lot to the area. It's simply the fact that childrens' standards are much higher now. It seems like little hand carts won't cut it anymore. Granted, Zamperla does advertise that a lot of the rides can be trailer mounted, but that's true for almost any type of flat ride. Even the most classic of flat rides, Eli Bridge Co rides, now have a service available to them in which they can be mounted.

I've been watching the forums for a few days now and it seems like we finally passed the 100,000 post milestone. I just wanted to thank everyone who comes on here every day and shares their thoughts and opinions and makes this site so successful! Ryan

I see it on mine...

I just received word from the park that the new for 2006 attraction. Three of the new attractions can be found on Zamperla's web site. One of which is a Jumping Star, a Zamperla Kite Flyer, and a customized Zamperla Skater including a camel hump! Note that the stock Skater is listed on Zamperla's web site! Zamperla's descriptions: Jumping Star Description: Children will laugh, giggle and scream on Zamperla’s Jumpin’ Star. Six children and adults are lifted to a height of approximately 20 ft. Then in a flash of lights, the passengers begin their jumping vertical descent in a quick series of short drops. Each jump brings elated faces of surprise and delight. The Jumpin’ Star gives every kid the chance to experience a tower ride all their own. With endless theming possibilities, the Jumpin’ Star might be the most versatile amusement device of all. Kite Flyer Description: First introduced in 1999 and winner of the Best New Family Ride at the 2000 IAAPA convention, the Kite Flyer has quickly become one of Zamperla’s most popular rides. The signature lay-down 2 passenger gondolas let the riders experience the sensation of free flight with a wave-like oscillating motion. . The Kite Flyer is available in both 24 and 16 capacity models and in both park and trailer models. Skater **Note that the above image does not include the custom hump. Description: Zamperla is set to introduce its latest family thrill ride to eager audiences around the world. The Skater combines extreme sports with extreme fun in an attraction that is sure to be a hit with riders of all ages. Borrowing rocking and spinning motions from the ever popular and innovative Disk’O ride, the Skater seats up to twenty-four riders per cycle for a theoretical hourly capacity of 600. Riders are seated four abreast in six rows with a lap bar safety restraint. Once the competition begins, the Skater takes riders on a whirling, daring, fun filled romp through the sky, giving each and every rider the sensation of riding a skateboard through a half pipe. The Skater is available in both park and trailer models. The trailer model racks on a single 53’ trailer and can be set-up and torn-down in under 3 hours with just two men.

BoddaH, Wikipedia is actually considered to be one of those sites on the forefront of providing information. Oh, I'm well aware of that, I just don't want people to think that they got this inaccurate information from us.

I see this page as being way below PKIC standards, so if they wanted to put a link to us up I wouldn't allow it anyway.

Why not just go RCT style and name it "Ice Cream Stand 1"?

Take a spin on X for me!

I think the petting zoo was from the late 70s, but obviously the page isn't THAT old.

I saw to it that Charles and Mark were in communication. Hopefully PP will make this wise decision!

It's quite an honor that you decided to post this on our site! I think I have somebody in mind that would be PERFECT for the job.

well, it's a seperate entity from the park. What I mean is, Great Wolf Lodge is its own company that wants to succeed. This being said, the company will do its own marketing and joint market with KI. Now, they might not get the guests next summer, (the thing is supposed to be done sometime this fall) or the summer after. I estimate it will really take them about 3 years to really get this thing out there and marketed. After that, I imagine they will start having a good amount of year round visitors, which in turn, should increase park attendance throughout the regular and winterfest seasons. Actually, if you look at the facilities and whatnot within the GWL, it seems like it's a lot less of a "Stay at the GWL and go to PKI" concept and more of a "Dad is a busines traveler whose conference is at the GWL, so let's all go and bring the family so they can enjoy the local attractions" concept. Will it work? Only time will tell. Hopefully it'll drive up attendance at PKI, though.

Umm....I would have to say early to mid 90's, maybe late 80's The concept with these new boats would be a cool retrofit for WWC....however, like many other people have said I would be worried about the lack of objects to shoot with the water guns.......anyways I doubt anything like this would happen I think that was part of the initial Nicelodeon Central expansion. Same with the Chuck E Cheese style maze attraction and that game in which two people would stand under the pipes and would pull a lever and one of them would randomly get soaked. Do you guys remember that?

I think they own all the way out to the Little Miami River.

I think you're right. From what I understand, Scooby is in fact under a seperate contract than the rest of the HB characters, but on that same note, SDATHC is a totally different story in the fact that the license is through Sally's and not through the park.

LoL... just Bar Monkeys for short. Just in case anyone new is reading this thread, I just want to point out that video taping or taking pictures while riding is illegal and you can be subject to ejection from the park or even criminal prosecution, so don't do it.

I did notice how on Zamperla's web site, almost all of the attractions listed say they're available as perminant structures or able to be trailer mounted.

Mixing his high energy show with PKI's nostalgic show will be excellent.

Click here to see a video of the Disc'o from Zamperla's web site. The ride actually kind of looks relaxing.

It's pretty easy on The Vortex. Snap.

No more politics or I'm closin' this bad boy.

If they operate it anything like how they conducted themselves at Beast Bash, you're going to have to be a member of their little club or fight with them to be able to go. I tried to have the event opened up to PKIC members last year and, although I was originally told the public would be able to attend, in the end they were not. Fortunately for you PKI fans, PKIC (which is and always will be free) will have TONS of things planned in the coming years making ACE obselete to be a member of. No fanny pack required.

WOW... Somebody from their aimed demographic is actually speaking up! Once again, but this year's expansion is for someone like deidre1976 and her kids, rather than a 16 or 17 year old thrill seeker. Your daughter should play air hockey instead. One time I was in one of those moods and played for over 6 hours... challenging random people as they passed through in Coney.
