This one goes out to all of the staff members on all of the sites: Person: "Why are you taking pictures/filming?" Me: ::Tells them about PKIC::: Person: "Oh, so you work for Kings Island?" Me: "No, I work for Best Buy, I just do this other stuff for fun." Person: "Oh, that must be tough having two jobs, but you probably make a lot of money" Me: "No, I don't get paid for this." Person: "Oh, so you volunteer at Kings Island" Me: "No, not exactly. I don't work for Kings Island at all" Person: "Then why are you taking pictures" -== Read through the dialogue about 4 more times and you'll understand how the coversation perpetuates.

Q: Poll: What is your favorite coaster at PKI? A: 96% The Beast Q: CP or PKI? A: Matter's what you're looking for. Q: Which coaster will be removed next?? A: Shut up... Q: How will the crowds be on _____________ ? A: Weekend/Holidy/Special Event - Busy... Any other day is weather permitting.

I am really impressed with the rehab and rebirth of the whole area, but personally I would like to see a really tall raft ride. Something totally for thrill seekers.

It's a low capacity attraction which doesn't even really fit in with the theme of CDBB. Let's keep the coasters in the dry park. Ryan

lol... We got luckly last time, this time it may errupt into riots.

A lot of people PMed us and asked if we were going to have one in mid-June... people generally said they still had school or that they couldn't go because of such short notice. It simply wasn't worth organizing the event if only 3 people were on the roster. We'll have several this year... don't worry. Ryan

Due to the request of several members, the meeting day for this Wenesday has been cancelled and will be resheduled for mid-June. Sorry for any inconvenience. Ryan

Haven't gotten to ride it yet this season, but I'm glad it's back!!

This is probably the most repeated topic about PKI on the net with the exception of the PKI vs. CP thing. I'm surprised the mods let this slide. (Where are you on this one, sparky?? )

^ It looks like we finally agree on something, Amber. Although I do love rides like TR:TR and Congo, Delirium is, hands down, one of the best experiences I've ever had on a flat.

Saying that it's a puddle with a waterfall is like saying the Grand Canyon is a just a hole in the ground. This is an excellent place for adults to relax and kids to play. It definitely gives CDBB a "resort" feeling.

My vote goes for Nick Central. It has better themeing and is more modern than HBL. It doesn't feel like a carnival-style kiddy land like HBL sometimes does.

^ That's true, but it's also a matter of appropriation. I mean, we know what kind of activity and dancing goes on at a dance club. It's really not a place for a 12 year old to be. They're just trying to keep the right events with the right age groups.

My guess is simply to flaunt the fact that you're not holding on. While we're on this note, has anyone kept their hands up all the way down on The Beast's hill? I always inherently draw my hands down right before entering the tunnel because it seems like it's low clearance. Does anyone else do that?

That's actually the correct answer. They're completely different coaster with the same name.

Dane I already knew that wasn't Paul Hogan. Dane's mad because I proved him wrong.... again.

Topic has been split! "Weird items found on e-bay" in discussion. Please post in the correct threads. Thanks, Ryan

Not Paul Hogan. He's Paul Hogan's stuntman, Rob Champion.

Dane's my friend. Don't ever say something terrable about him like that again.

The temperature effects wood coasters too. It's held together by steel nails/bolts/whatever which, on a small scale, either push or pull the wood together or apart. On a large scale, that can determine how turbulent the ride will be. Good post, but none of this is exactly groundbreaking.

That is the real Paul Hogan, but we hired actors to play the PKIU staff. Nah, that's Hogan's stunt man.

Never happened. That's a doctored photo.

Well, the staffs of both pages decided to have a 2 on 2 challenge on the racing slides. After several false starts (if you've ridden them yet, you know why that happens), PKIU's "Rocket" SoBTom came out ahead. Better luck next time! Afterwards, we all stoped for a group photo with Crocodile Dundee himself. (photo by Chris Tyson) And to think, you guys thought we all hated each other! Ryan

Simply put, it would be cheaper that way.

I was just watching the news and they were talking about a new guidbook to attractions in the USA, and PKI tied with CP for best amusement park. Newport on the Levee was the best shopping center.
