^ He's right, PKI is in fact private property. If you smoke in line, they'll likely just tell you to put it out, but if things get escalated, you may find yourself escorted outside of the front gates.

You win! It was John A. Miller.

Extra credit goes out to anyone who can tell me who invented this system.

It is my understanding that, if the train rolls back in a convenient location, they just more or less push/pull it to get it in motion, but if it's in a difficult spot, they sometimes have to remove a section of track to get the train off.

TheRickster was sitting next to me and Dane and Zosobeast were on that train too.

That's very true. Call me crazy, but I hang on for dear life on DZ, let alone being at the mercy of my OTSR. lol

Lol I bet you didnt know that Top Thrill Dragster didnt make it all the way over the hill and went back down close to loading station. (2 times) But now they got that fix with little boosters on the top And before you say im a lier ,Im not ,do you think CP would tell the public that it didnt make it over two times I use to work at CP Actually, they would. In 2003, the Discovery Channel filmed a segment on Tomb Raider The Ride, and when they aired it, it was on the same show that featured CP's TTD. A big part of the segment was talking about the rare but fun occurances of the ellusive "roll backs". So CP played if off as though they were natural and not a big deal. I'm willing to say that qualifies.

Ok I must be old. Who is he? OMG Nick Lachey was one of the singers from 98 degrees. After they split up he went on to release a solo album. He is also married to Jessica Simpson. Please tell me who know who Jessica Simpson is. He also had his own reality show with Jessica, The Newlyweds on MTV. Which just aired the last epoisde last week I believe. Is he the one who's running for mayor?

I think they tested it around 3. There were also sleighted to test it Saturday at 3, but for obvious reasons, they didn't. Don't knock the slow speeds just yet, sometimes just barely making it over a hill gives you a neat sensation.

No, but it does directly proove the matter at hand.

Who is this guy?

Hmmm - this implies that you are the only site to get video of the launch - a most incorrect assumption! It was wierd - it kept acting like it would rollback on the top of the helix, but it always just barely made it over. Like Bill said - the whole ride seems uneventful - especially when it comes out of the billboard. Nope, but the only site that people care about that has it. BURN!! PKICentral Sucks Ryan

For those of you who were unable to be at the park today, they were testing the Italian Job Stunt Track! Of course, PKIC staff member Bill Ware was on hand to bring you some EXCLUSIVE footage of IJST launching and traveling through its course for the first time in front of the general public!

Click here to see some IJST photos, as well as photos from Happy Days Diner, Graeter's, and the Starbucks construction! God speed to you all! Ryan

New pictures every time.

Hats off to all those who attended the tour. We didn't even know about it until we were sitting in the warm and toasty lobby of Chipolte... to be honest, I don't see too much love loss by missing it, though. I have seen the perimeter of the ride, and now I don't want to see any more until I'm on it for myself.

It's kind of like the movie Blow. Johnny Depp is the hero of the movie, who is actually a criminal. I think it puts an interesting twist on the plots.

^ Best idea I've heard all day.

I'd give School of Rock a shot... after seeing Magic of the Movies, what's the worst that could happen?

I could be wrong, but I always thought it was: It's a perfect situation Everyday's a celebration

It would probably be typical of Paramount to take out a scenic area of the park in favor of an industrial area.

They had some of the special effects running last Friday the 25th around 8pm. I was training a class in PKIU and when i got out I could hear the police car sirens running I didn't go check it out cause I had to leave but I never heard any explosions or anything else. Rumor has it that they ran the helicopter too...

Oh yeah, I forgot... I want a write-in vote for the Chippery.

As a former employee of LaRosa's (not at the park), I can tell you to expect some to be popping up in your area before you know it. I like how like 4 of the selections on the list don't exist anymore.

Where exactly was this located ? To try to answer all of your questions: It was located on the midway between HBL and RT. It was probably 50 or so feet long and was a great shaded area. A small portion of it is now located behind Migilla Gorilla's Grill. (Do I have that right?) Likely they removed it just for the sake of a facelift. Since PKI seems to like the layout they have and not really expand, things have to be removed in order to make way for new things... sounds like almost too simple of an answer, but it's very logical.
