We can assure you that everything will be pretty cheap. We know that a lot of people on here are young and have little money. Just bear in mind that any profits we turn (which will be minimal, I might add) will be coming directly back to PKIC to bring YOU GUYS the greatest web page that we possibly can.

I liked it. He integrated a lot of us into the story, which made it that much more interesting. Keep up the good work!

Who knows? They could utilize what they have now and just change or extend the program, or they could totally retheme it. There's really no telling...

I was just up at the park earlier today. If you can imagine it, I'd say that the funnel is about 70% to 80% of the height of the Fast Tracks tower (which is now the color of baby poo).

I was simply helping someone out with some information, is that a sin? Although this thread was about PKIC BB pics, we do appreciate all input. Great photos, Aaron! We will be updating our BB pics probably tomorrow. 12-18.

I highly doubt they won't make the Eiffel Tower into a Christmas tree if they bring it back. Someone said that they prefer Winterfest to Fearfest.. I agree with the exception of the fact that not many rides will be open for Winterfest. I'd like to see them just expand the post-season until early November and reopen for Winterfest in Early December. I wouldn't be too entirely surprised if Winterfest made an amazing return for 2004, but I assure you that I don't have any inside information, so take that for what it's worth.

^ The reason why I said that was because I had a dream that me, Chef, and a couple of staff members from here got drunk and rode Taz. We kept rocking the float and when we hit the funnel, the float fell out of the top. lol.. ouch

As much as I love The Beast, I can't get The Vortex out of my head!

I think it's haunted by an Italian guy who is overly attracted to fat women. Actually, I wouldn't doubt that it's haunted. It just one of those things... it goes from being so active during the day to being so dead at night. Plus, all sorts of horror movies take place in carnivals, so why not?

So Aaron, how did the effect work? Was the picture taken at a fash shutter speed and then the track was manipulated to look like a slow speed? Either way, it looks really neat.

I've definately heard that they're looking at the design. They may purchase the rights for all we know.

I'm guessing that we'll see a slowdown in construction since the weather has turned and the ground has frozen. I'd say around February or so, you'll see some hard core construction every day.

Apparently both S&S and B&M are looking at the 4d design.

Do it! That'd be great!

Umm... I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to say anything.. but since Icarus said it, I'll elaborate... You really need some kind of focus in this article. When I read it, I wasn't sure if you were trying to talk to me, or someone that had never been to the park before. Also, why did you write it? To convice people to go to PKI? To tell people who have already decided to go to PKI what they have to offer? Without asking yourself things like that, it's like throwing a handful of pebbles at a target instead of shooting it. If you ask yourself those questions you could probably make a really cool article out of it. Keep us posted on any revisions so we can be 3rd party people and help you out. Thanks, Ryan

Peronally, I don't think we've seen the end of Arrow Dynamics Inc. To give you guys a short hand lesson in economics, if a company get's sued, and then files for bankrupcy, it really screws things up. If they loose, they won't have to pay anything. I think Arrow filed because they could, and are laying low for a few years.

I've heard $15 as the initial cost as well, but apparently they've shelled out $10 million in renovations.

10. Tazmanian Typhoon -- need I say more? 9. Wet bar! 8. Not having to walk a mile from one end to the other in bare feet on concrete. 7. Body surfing at the wave pool. 6. Watching people TRY to do Whipeout Beach. 5. Old classic slides return! 4. Not being tempted to kill you back on the speed slides anymore. 3. Getting egotistical about the racing slides. 2. You can all come and see me and Chef get drunk and ride Tazmanian Typhoon. 1. Dude, I mean seriosuly... Tazmanian Typhoon... you get to be flushed down a giant toilet bowl...

10. It's really not that rough. 9. It's a signature ride for the park. 8. ARROW!!!! 7. Corkscrew after corkscrew after corkscrew... gotta love it! 6. Air time 5. Looking for Bat footers from the hill. 4. They'd probably replace it with something stupid or unworthy of the consecrated ground. 3. You're not a real man until you feel the pain of an OTSR without whining about it. 2. Lowering the coaster count again would be dirty pool. 1. "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings, but every time a park removes an Arrow looper, an angel gets set on fire!"

Basically, everything is illegal. It's illegal to use the graphics, and it's especially to use a spoof in a pay area. What should you do? Nothing. No one will care. Don't worry about it.

The only bad experience that I've had on a coaster really is that I always get a sharp pain in my chest near my left shoulder right before the loop on SOB... I have no clue why. Now, on other flats... Remember the old slides that were in HB Land? The first time I ever went to KI, I rode them and was all the way on the left (from the perspective of standing at the bottom) and my had ran down the whole side of the thing on the way down and got burnt up. Bummer, but it didn't ruin my experience.

Generally, you get a free Gold Pass upgrade through mid May.

http://www.pki.com/visit_calendar.jsp For those who haven't seen it, pki.com has released the 2004 calendar. Opening day is April 9th.

It would be difficult for them to make another Beast lineage coaster. They'd have to top themselves, and I doubt woodies will ever get much taller than SOB. I don't think that The Beastie should be the Scooby Doo, though. I mean, it's kind of dumb since it's yellow, but if my memory serves me correctly, it used to be straight wood like The Beast. I voted for "maybe" because there's no telling what PKI may do in the future. I really hope they don't add a brow-colored steel and try to call it "Beast". That would be riding the popularity a little too much.

It really is a shame that Arrow is in the state that they're in right now. I hope they bounce back and can reuse the Arrow name and style. For those of you who are saying that Arrow rides are too rough, do you listen to yourself? That sounds like a comment someone would say out of pseudointellectualism, in other words, to try to make themselves look smart, and a bunch of people hopped on the same bandwaggon. I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but no one in their right mind would call rides the The Vortex and Top Gun "too rough" when in the same park they have the a turbulant joke like the Son of Beast.
