lol.. Yeah, where are you coming from? Basically it's about 20mins north of Cincinnati. No matter which direction you're coming from, you can't really miss it. It's right off of 71.

<<After seeing the parade twice, we headed over to Spongebob to check out the A-Bomb explode in the background. I had never seen that before, but it is really random and seems to have been thrown in there as an inside joke possibly.>> At what point in the movie is that explosion?

I would never accuse PKI of operating a ride that isn't safe. Even a lot of the "out of towners" at Beastbuzz were commenting about how PKI has a reputation for safety.

What do you think of the Nickelodeon Celebration Parade? Personally, I am a big fan of it. Granted, I don't even recognize most of the characters, but the floats are really neat, the dancing is cute to say the least, and in the spirit of Nickelodeon, they have a whole score of upbeat music to guarentee that you leave in a good mood.

Wrong. Chef and I asked to be in.

True, but with metal detectors, they're more likely to end up seaching your bag and finding it.

It's less about terrorism and more about someone bringing a knife or gun into the park.

Pure speculation, but my deduction is that the campground attendance has dropped, while hotel bookage has risen in the past few years.

darn, Sparky... you really make the thing sound safe.

Don't get too excited though. It's possible that they could be just announcing that they are getting a new ride, or maybe just the name of the ride. Regardless, don't expect full details. Ryan

....or you could just look on any of the three pages. It'll be all over the place.

At least he has his own site, unlike somebody who takes credit for Aaron, Tyson, and Pat's hard work. And yes, the Chippery is awesome. The sea salt chips do taste like regular potato chips, just with a lot more flavor.

Yeah, probably just a glare. A UV lens could help.

I have seen a lot of them deflated and sitting around the water park. I'm thinking that maybe having too much pressure on one side makes it fragile.

It happened to Dane too. He was very upset and had to be comforted.

yeah... the point rolled right past you, official call: error. He's absolutely right. If ANYTHING were to happen to the people in the park, the park could be held responsible for keeping them inside. I mean, even the lady who had the unfortunate incident on Top Gun would be an example. Her husband could have said that she didn't feel well all day, but she didn't want to pay for admission twice. Also, how can a park stop people from going to their cars? I know that I entered and exited the park about 5 times yesterday to get my camera stuff, to put it away, to get my swimming suit for CDBB... that would cost several hundred dollars to do if I had to pay every time I went in. The whole underlying concept is that you're walking a tightrope between price and convenience when it comes to food. Yeah, it costs about $8 for a meal at PKI, but it's a hell of a lot more convenient than going all the way to your car and driving to McDonald's isn't it? Ryan

Sure they can. They can give you a fair warning before the ride stops, and if anyone snapps, they'll just e-stop it. That's what other parks do. Also, I have the unfortunate responsibility of informing you guys that the Eagles have once again broken down. It seems like the problem is a lighter version of the problem they had before. With persistant problems like this, perhaps we are seeing the end of snapping.

Thanks for the kind words, but Dane got some amazing shots in as well.

Hey, I didn't want to bump the parade news, so I'm just going to put it here. I have uploaded a handful of new pics, including a few from the parade that we didn't have before. Now, the parade concludes with a float that shoots out foam! Click here to check them out. PKICentral.com "Where we have so many photos that it makes actually coming to the park obsolete." Regards, Ryan

I think I'm going to pin the "I want to get to know you" thread. I actually bumped it a week or so ago. I'm surprised I didn't pin it then. We'll just see what the people want and work from there as far as a whole new forum goes. Regards, Ryan

I doubt you'll see anything in AZ until new attractions draw people to other parts of the park.

That's a great idea, but it's already been done. The discussion forum is for all of you to post about whatever happens to be on your mind. It doesn't even necessarily have to relate to the amusement industry. Also, there is a thread in there entitled "I want to get to know you" which is where new members can introduce themselves. I hope this helps, and thanks for the suggestion, Ryan

Are you thinking of "submersive"?

Nice long story... when's the paperback version coming out?

There are TONS of clearings behind FoF/SOB/TG.
