Matters which category we're talking about, I guess.

I don't think they'll get a coaster for a while.

hehehehe...... ::Flashback to the 6th grade:: "Your mama is so poor, she went into the free store and complained about the high prices!"

Believe it or not, Screaching Eagle at Americana does have a fair amount of airtime.

Gabriel has been so kind as to supply us with 5 more amazing shots from his airplane of the park. These include IJST construction as well as various rare off-season park shots. This is a short but sweet update. Enjoy! Click here to view! Regards, Ryan

There are a lot of reasons why PKI doesn't have a B&M, the distance to the factory isn't one of them.

We have toyed around with the idea... maybe even an employee of the month. Then again, with so many people contributing to PKIC so often, it's hard to find just one per month!

I disagree. I think the Tower would be able to handle a launched ride or something small like the scooters. The only serious consideration that you would need to have would be the steel bending (as you know, the tower sways in the wind as is). Although this could likely be done safely, it could cause potential harm to the ride itself over time.

This is coming from the perspective of someone who sells this **** 30 shours a week at Best Buy: Sony digital camcorders are the best for the money. I wouldn't mess with any other camcorder except a Sony unless it were a really higher-end Panasonic (like the 3CCD one). Sony cameras aren't bad, but Canons have a lot more bang for the buck. The only advantage that Sony cameras have is that they have a Carl Zeiss lens, which is a multi-coated lens and improves contrast. Resolution - Sony Camcorders and Canon cameras are the way to go. Side notes: Yes, Canon camcorders are horrible. Don't buy one, don't even touch one. Off the shelf, if you're look at the under $400 range, the Canon Powershot A-Series cameras are the way to go.

I've also heard that ice is much better than fire.

I go every once in a while just to ride the Eli Bridge wheel. What can I say? It's one of those rides that doesn't feel as safe as it really is.

How about a week of an out of body experience?

Nah, I think we'll take a different approach. How about, if you make another post insulting other members of PKIC, you'll be a ghost on the forums? Does that sound like a fun game?? This is your one, only, and final warning.

lol... I was going to say.. people know my name on here who have never met me, and we hang out frequently during the season.

^ I must admit that Bisch-Rocco was kind of what I had in mind.

We do have a lot of pics of the same stuff, sometimes we even accidentally uploaded the same pics twice. That's something that we need to filter through and fix over time. As far as similar pics go, we have the bandwidth, so having 40 shots of The Vortex really isn't that big of an issue. The underlying question is, what do you like and what do you not like? What are the photos that you want to look at more than once? Which are the photos that you don't bother to open up at all?

You know, they are a European company, it's probably that darn metric system.

Did you try hitting CTL+ALT+DEL?

Brandon, next time I see you, I'm going to punch you in the face.

I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved in whether a park's attendance went up or down with only part of it being the new attraction.

Heck, I'd take an Eli Bridge wheel as is... unfortunately we're loosing too many rides with "classic" manufacturer names attached to them.

Now, I've never been there, but from what I understand, they have areas dedicated to Christmas, Halloween, and the 4th of July... is that right? How do they go by themeing to that?

First of all, none of our photos are crappy! Nah, we just want to present a product to you guys that you will get the most out of. By rating our photos, we can see what you guys enjoy and what to be lighter on next year. We could do it by how many views it has, but it seems like people are more inclined to view a photo to see what it is rather than specifically view photos that they particularly enjoy

Gabriel, First of all, I want to speak for PKIC in expressing my gratitude for what you're doing for us. Secondly, I think many people will agree that any shots of PKI in the offseason are going to be interesting. You'll notice that a lot of the rides (especially the flats) are in rehab and they're missing things like vessils and seats. That's always interesting to see. If you could try to get a closeup of stuff like that, it would be great! Oh yeah, and you have to take me with you sometime! -Ryan PKIC Staff

The pics were donated by Gabriel. The 5 that I got are the 5 that you can see. If you ride the train after August, you can see the drained WWC trench. An active member means that you post consistantly, not that you are up in the thousands in posting, so share your opinions with everyone and you'll be in the game like everyone else!
