BoddaH1994

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

For those of you who have been patiently waiting so long to see yourselves on TV from the Tomb Raider filmings, it is finally set to air this Friday at 6:00pm. Click here to check out Discovery Channel's page.

How many times do you intend to visit the park this year?

Eh... this isn't in the poll, but I'd have to say that the part between the last magnetic brake run and the 2nd lift hill is the best. I mean, there's not much to it, but the seclusion is awesome especially at night. You just can't beat a terrain coaster that goes through the woods.

I'm pretty sure that Jeff said that there simply would be a March announcement and it was the ethusiasts' overzealous posts that turned it into a BIG BIG BIG March annoucement that will be the end of PKI as you know it... Jeeze people, isn't gutting, redoing, and rethemeing the entire waterpark good enough for you people??

AIM: BoddaH1994... easy enough

We've had pretty successful meeting days for PKIC in the past, and are allowing our members decide if we're having a meeting day on opening day currently. One thing that we've done (and it was mentioned by someone in this thread) has been to have two meeting times, which was pretty successful. We met at 10am and noon since people were complaining that they didn't want to get up early enough to be there at 10. Since opening day is a Friday, I would recommend meeting at noon (for those of you without school or work) as well as around 4:00, which will give everyone an hour and a half or so to get ready after they get off school. Anyway, good luck with the meeting day, and if PKIC decides to roll with it, maybe we can have a joint effort... Ryan

PKIC has always been a fan of the DAFE website. If we had known that you guys hadn't seen it, we would have linked it a long time ago.

I caught the early morning news this morning and they talked about how Boomerang Bay was scheduled to open this summer. They mentioned that the construction is going as scheduled and that the park intends to use Paul Hogan to endorse the park via TV commercials, but no mention of him making an appearance at the park itself.

Click here to read the article. It talks about how PKI will be more Hollywood-oriented and how The Beast will get sound effects for it's 25th. Nothing that we couldn't have derived other than that, but this probably either is, or is greatly associated with the March Announcement.

Chef Chef Chef.. must I do everything for you?? Click here to vote as to whether or not Chef should come with us or stay at home with his wife? **Note that the poll is for fun.

Should Italian Chef come with us to PKI's opening day desipite the fact that he has a very pregnant wife?? Please note that this pole is just for fun, and Charles will do whatever is in his best judgement on that day.

That would be interesting. I'd love to see them winch a train through all of The Beast's track.

Oh, I can tell you stories. My brother and I are the self-proclaimed champions of getting those black fiberglass tubs to spin like you wouldn't belive. Not only does it get the attention of everyone on the ride (it tends to shake the ride if you get going as fast as we do) but the entire que line and this one time we saw people stopping on the midway . I was rather proud of myself and my bro but after we got off, the fun stopped. Long story short, I laid on the ground next to Subway for about 15 minutes, but its a ride I will never forget. :cowboy: lol... great story How do you get them to spin? Do you just shift your body weight?

If you guys can't make it, don't sweat it.. there will be PLENTY of PKIC days this year.

I can see where you're coming from. Timberwolf is in a pretty busy part of the park, so I'm sure that the traffic that it brings really doesn't help out AZ at all. Although I highly doubt that it would ever be located, it would be better being on the outskirts of the park, so guests can enjoy both the park and the concerts without a rush through the more crowded areas of the park before and after the concerts.

Well, opening day is on a home stretch. It's been a very fast offseason (thank God!) and we're already looking at our first PKIC meeting day at the park!! Now, opening day is Friday, April 9th. We realize that a lot of you guys will have work or school so if we meet, we'd meet from like 5-8 or so (the park closes at 8 that night). Would you guys be willing to do this? Also, for those of you who have gone to opening day in the past, how busy is it generally? If we get a good response, we'll start a roster in a few days or so. Regards, Ryan

No official word out on that, but I'd say it's about 90% likely.

I'll be there.

That was baaad. I don't remember any snakes at pki though.. I remember the time I told some blonde girl that she needs to see more movies since she said Tomb Raider was her favorite movie and she got all mad at me... I wonder whatever happened to her...

I remember this time when I rode TR and there were these punk kids throwing something at the canopy over the queue trying to knock down a stuffed animal that was up there. Finally the kid's friend helped him and he climbed on top of the whole thing, collected change and grabbed the stuffed animal, and climbed back down. This old guy in a security uniform came up to them and started yelling at them.. they got all apologetic thinking that they were going to get thrown out, but as it turns out, it wasn't a security guard at all, but just some crazy old guy in a security uniform. I'm surprised the real PKI security didn't come and throw those kids out.. they could have caused some real damage.

Thanks for the shameless plug. It's on the front page on the other side of the fence and people are still on our forums arguing about it. Listen: It's CD's Boomerang Bay!!
