Baby pics are coming soon. Funny story about how I found out. I was at Hooters living the life that Charles had just given up when I got a voicmail from him. He went on for about a minute and a half about how he couldn't go to the park Sunday but would be able to go next weekend. It wasn't until the last 10 seconds that he told me why. lol THAT is a true PKI fan.

According to the PKI News Letter, the show will open on opening day. I'm sure that implies that it won't be open for the preview days. Look at the bright side, it took them until late May to get Spellbound rollin'.

Keep it nice kids, we're all friends here.

That defines the width and height of each image.. and its universal. So, when the image is put in, it is resized to 240 x 208.. its unfortunate they used the old pictures.... but... i'm sure it will be fixed in the near future. If you don't define the size of the image, but you define the size of the cell block, the image will be truncated to that size. That's how I make the thumbnail images for the BB updates on here.

I have my doubts about TR:TR v.2, but pretty much everything else mentioned in this thread has been confirmed.

Baby's born, issue is resolved. Check out the PKIC news section if you would like to comment further. Ryan

As the media director of PKI-Central.com, I have the fortunate responsibility of informing all of you that Charles Infosino (aka Italian Chef) and his wife Yukari have given birth to their first born child, a son named Antonino Infosino! If you don't know who Charles is, you don't come around here very often. Charles is the author of the Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island, one of the main posters here on PKIC, and an all around cool guy. So, if you run into Charles at one of our meeting days in the next few weeks, make sure to congratulate him! Regards, Ryan PKIC Media Director :chef:

PKI .com has been relaunched with a Hollywood theme! Click hereto check it out.

Just under 6 hours left now!

That's a half truth. It will take only a few days to erect the sign itself, but I'm sure (depending on how elaborate it is) it could take weeks or months to manufacture it.

That's IF it even changed at all. I've received no word as to whether or not the program will be changing for the 2004 season. Has anyone see any technicians around the ride that were out of the ordinary?

lol.... hey hey hey, I'll be the moderator here.

Hey, I'm just here to remind you that the contest isn't quite over yet! It ends Tuesday at 7:00, so if you want to be on of the first to shake off your off season blues, then bring your friends and fellow enthusiasts to PKIC so we can all have a great summer on here! You're just over 24 hours from the time of this posting... good luck! Regards, Ryan

It's going to be a boy name Antonino (sp?) called Nino for short.

From what I understand, Easter Sunday is one of the most dead days of the year for the park. Can anyone confirm this?

lol... oops, sorry about my total and utter inability to do math

Tomb Raider: The Ride is an dark flat ride which is more or less an indoor Huss Top Spin. It is extremely well themed and is of course based off of the Tomb Raider movie. Next time you visit the park, I'd recommend checking it out if you're not afraid to be flipped around a few times. Regards, Ryan

Yeah, I'll be there. Todd, I'll give you a call beforehand so we can meet. If anyone else wants to meet, it's all good.

I've heard they have as many employees as 4000 x 4 tickets each = 12,000. In addition to this is radio/TV contenst winners. I have no idea if my numbers are off, but 12000 in the park is not very busy at all.

Here's the rundown: PKI has a signature structure: the Eiffel Tower, but not a signature coaster, so you can debate as to whether or not they need one. Of course they have The Beast, but most people can't see The Beast and be able to recognize it unless you live in the area. Secondly, stocks go up and down.. I'm sure that unless it is truely significant on the part of Viacom, it won't affect any future additions to the park. They have this stuff planned way ahead of time and know what they're doing. It's not like they don't have the money Thirdly, I have to bring this up again about once a month. Just because they haven't added a coaster in a few years doesn't mean that their attendance is going to suddenly drop off. It sure seems that way, but look who you are talking to... a bunch of enthusiasts. PKI attempts to attract families, and families in general are not concerned with coasters. They want family rides and attractions. Now, everyone start watching your mouths in this thread or it will be closed. We won't tolerate that kind of garbage on here. Take it outside. Ryan PKIC Staff

lol...you'd think.. Of course, I'm sure that most of the people who were watching a show about amusement parks were less concerned with the fact that Charles wrote a book on a park and more concerned about his personal life and occupation.

Our official answer is "sure! what the hell? why not?". We'll get back to you with official times and places soon. Ryan

For those of you who didn't see it, the show aired just a few minutes ago. It was fun to see everyone from the forums on there that I have come to know and recognize. The little Italian dude that they interveiwed was Italian Chef, and the tall guy walking into the entrance right at the beginng of the segment was good 'ol Dan. You could see me on the ride when the blond girl in the front row's hair wasn't in the way.

Ah, does this bring back memories... how many of you guys were there? I met a bunch of people from the forums for the fist time that day, but didn't know who any of you were since I had only been on for a week or so. I remember that day particularly because it was the first time that I met Italian Chef, who I have come to be good friends with and it was the first time that I ever ****ed off DanielRadsGrl, which I try to do on a weekly basis now. Who was there? Off the top of my head, I can think of the following people... BoddaH1994 DanielRadsgrl Italian Chef Dragon Lord Delirium Guy Dan ...Jeff Siebert even stopped in and said hi.

As time has passed and the two major water slide attractions have more or less been completed, we see more progress on Kookaburra Bay and Jackeroo Landing. Right now, they're not much more than a skeletal structures, but they're going to look great when they are finished! We also have new pictures of the competed Tazmanian Typhoon and Coolangate Racers with a dusting of snow over them. Many of the Kookaburra Bay and Jackeroo Landing pieces are constructed, but laying on the foot path waiting to be attached. Click here to check them out! Ryan
