If you guys come up with an official date, I'll go ahead and pin a roster.

Would you guys like me to pin a roster?

Care to give us a lesson in Italian ebonics at the next meeting? You should have had Yukari cuss her out in Japanese just so we can have bad blood from all of the corners of the world.

It's more that the park believes that the phrase "water park" doesn't quite cover exactly how expansive, themed, and able-to-pamper this noew area will be.

Minor PKI Workers be relocated from Rides
BoddaH1994 replied to Captain Obvious's topic in Kings Island
Proving the point once again... Nathan should NEVER have been allowed to operate the machinery in my department. -
No, you pushed me and I ended up falling completely into that car. That was funny. That was the same day that Dane kept kicking the back of my seat before we took off on the Zephyr. It somehow screwed up my momentum so that every time the ride dipped, I would turn competely backwards. If you guys are wondering how much fun the PKIC meeting days are, just look how crazy the days are when just the staff meets up. See you this summer!

lol.... these are some of the worst stories ever! A few weeks ago, I was up at the park with Dirty Steve, Dane, Dan, and The Rickster and we were riding Dogems. We were sitting in the cars waiting for the ride to start when the ride ops let a few more people in to occupy some vacant cars. This kid... probably about 6 years old walked right past Dane's bumper car and he yelled "watch out!!" at the top of his lungs. The kid was so startled that he almost fell in Dane's lap... ok, maybe my story isn't that great either.

Enough about the PKIU mods... I don't always agree with what they do myself, but I have talked to several of them and they really are good people.

This is probably the most pointless and outdated post in the history of the world. Seek counciling, Captain.

Minor PKI Workers be relocated from Rides

What Dirty Steve said is absolutely correct. I'm sure that the new bill (or law.. whatever) that has this in it isn't intended to insult minors or imply that they have the inability to run the rides, but it's in the interest of the park. When you're 18+, an employer can more easily hold you responsible for your own actions. I'm not saying that if there was an accident, you'd get sued, but if something tragic happened at least if the park did get sued the party couldn't claim that there was just some kid driving the ride, which make the park look inept. Look at it this way: you also have to be 18 to drive a fork lift. Does this mean that all people under the age of 18 are incompetant and unable to drive a fork lift? No. It's simply that in our country, when you're 18 you are an adult, and you are given a certain level of responsibility for yourself as well as the enviornment around you. Another thing that you might want to consider is the fact that you're parents have control of you when you're under 18. If an individual were to get hurt on a job site who was under 18, then the parents could elect to sue the company. It's kind of a common conception that a parent always thinks that their kids are "perfect" and that the wrongdoing was the work of the company, so that's why most jobs with any risk at all are left to patrons over the page of 18. Now as far as the drinking thing that FoF1996 mentioned goes, that's kind of a hard social fact to equate to this. It's very true that alcahole is less of a problem in other countries than it is here, but that's not necessarily due to the drinking age itself. It's the fact that you were denied something you're whole life until you reach a certain age and then you have an inherent desire to binge with that particular privledge. It's almost like how every kid that turns 16 and gets his/her license is always more than willing to be the driver when traveling with a groupfor the first year or so. Unfortunately though, when it comes to drinking, problems occure that lead to alcaholism or unforunate accidents before the novelty has worn off. Anyway, like I said, it's not a matter of insult, it's a matter of protecting the park. Regards, Ryan -
Ok, I got to be in the show and this is how you do it: be one of the first people there and look for the guy wearing all black with the clipboard. He's the same guy that, in the show, brings the crowd members up on stage. Tell him that you want to be in the show. If you ask him, he'll generally just let you do it, but he may ask you a few questions to make sure that you're charismatic, outgoing, and not really shy... not exactly a big formal acting audition, but I'm sure they don't want people to bail out right before the show starts. Anyway, they will sit you in the reserved seats and bring you up on stage as necessary. After you preform (assuming you're in the first part), they take you back stage and you get out of the costumes. Then they escort you to the seats on the opposite side of the theatre (if you're standing on the stage, they're on the right). I think for the first segment, they have four people who make sound effects, and for the second section, they use a couple (I know they were actively looking for a man and a women that were there together when I went). Anyway, I hope this helps. Ryan

Can't help but agree with you there. You shouldn't have to sit in a certain seat to have an enjoyable ride experience. If you guys want to debate this more, please start a topic in the Battle Room. Anyway. I went up there for about two or so hours Saturday night with Italian Chef. It was extremely crowded at first, but in the last hour, it died down a lot. Fortunately, we were able to ride a lot of rides in that last hour. I also went Sunday and the lines were definitely better. If you have to choose, I'd choose Sundays until the park is open daily.

I went to one of the first showings... it's pretty nice. The seats are much more comfortable than the "church benches" that they used to have. The stuff that they have on stage is pretty neat too. They also show how a chromakey (green screen effect) works and have a little fun with that. All in all, it's an ok show, it's worth your 20 mins.
-
I've heard that rumor as well. Apparently they're going to reveal plans at The Beast's birthday party. It had BETTER be for a coaster.... you just don't remove Arrow rides. "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings, but every time a park removes an Arrow ride, an angel gets set on fire!"
-
Oh, the rules will be bent. You'll see once the sign goes up, but it still takes time. If they didn't intend to bend the rules, they wouldn't project a June or July date... so they basically know that it's going to happen.
-
I highly doubt the city of Mason is doing this in order to push PKI around. More than likely it is a law that they set up for everybody and PKI has to go through the same procedure that anyone else would have to. Regardless of how big PKI is, it is not above the law.
-
Well, it looks like this topic has expired. I hope you have a great time at PKI. Make sure you fill out a trip report and tell us how it went! Ryan

Will The Vortex leave? One person's knowledge is probably is as valuable as the next, so there is no reason to attack someone for what they have to say. These insults will not be tolerated on PKIC. If you want to go somewhere and just sling mud all day, you know where to go. Otherwise, watch your posts, there's no reason for this thread to get closed or for you to get suspended or banned simply for disagreeing with someone. Now, in an attempt not to have to close the thread, I ask: Will The Vortex leave?

Which is your favorite Paramount Picture at PKI?
BoddaH1994 replied to italianchef's topic in KI Polls
There's already the "Hurler" at another Paramount Park. Hey, whatever happened to the Murph Mobile in the Paramount Story? -
Should Coney Mall Be Updated on Some of the rides?
BoddaH1994 replied to pkifreak's topic in KI Polls
I do agree that something should be done about the Monster, although not entirely feasable. Fortunately, the ride isn't exactly a huge drawer in the park, so most days patrons can enjoy the ride with a reasonable waiting time. -
Althought I do agree with you that The Vortex isn't going anywhere, you have to remember that the King Cobra was painted just a year or two before its removal.
-
LOL...I never thought anyone would not know this. :offtopic: Keep it nice kids, we're here to have fun, not to sling mud. Plus, all of my sources tell me that The Vortex isn't going anywhere.
-
If it works the same as last year, it will be a park sell out day so according the the calendar, the park will be closed to the GP.
-
I think that's it. To my understanding, they would organize it so people who were gay would wear red shirts those days, but it wasn't anything official.
-
Yeah, it's really hard to say. This year has be relatively dynamic thus far. I really hope the lines are short so you can experience a lot of the park and fall in love with it as much as the rest of us have.
