Will you let us know next time it's opened?

What you need is a good babysitter.

Yeah, what ever happend to "Jeffery Seibert's Excellent Adventure"?

It's really sad to see those photos, but then again, at least it was just the sign. First of all, no major attractions were damaged or destroyed and most importantly, no one was hurt.

:offtopic: lol.. it was just an example, I can't help but agree

lol... As long as no one got struck by lighting in the parking lot, it's all good.

A problem that we had on the other site was the mods closing a thread because it had already been discussed. If it was discussed a long time ago, I wouldn't even worry about it, but if it's on the same page, close it, but include a link to the thread. That would make everything a lot more user friendly and won't seem so rude. Also, as I said before, don't close topics because they're off topic.. I mean, if it turns from "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" to "Backstreet Boys suck and Limp Bizkit rules!" then I would understand, but if it goes from "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" to...I don't know.. "If they were to paint the Eiffel Tower another color, what would it be?" then I really don't see a reason to close it. Too many interesting threads were destroyed elsewhere because they thought they could maintain a board of threads about the exact same subject.. there just isn't that much to say about one thing. I don't know how many of you have engaged in a conversation in the past few weeks, but they have a tendancy to drift to different ideas. Also, I think the mods should have a no BS policy about attacking people. I mean, if someone says something that is totally wrong, and people correct him or her, then that's great, but if someone says something wrong and the next thread starts with the phrase "You obviously don't know anything..." or "You're an idiot" than the mods should PM the person and give them a warning, and they're going to be the bad apple of the board after that, then it's time that you step in and ban them. Pretty much the only way to get banned from Unlimited was to use foul language, and that really didn't create a healthy community. I think the main idea that we must keep in mind is that we're working together on this site. It's the mods jobs to keep everything in order, but it's our reponsibility to make it as easy as possible on them. I have already suggested things for the mods, so here are my suggestions for everyone else: 1. If you think you may have crossed the line, then you probably did. 2. Read over your posts. Do they make sense? Is your intention to make a point or to insult someone else? 3. Do your best to post under the proper headings. 4. Do your best to keep things on topic. 5. If someone says something that is totally wrong, it's not because they're stupid or naive, they're probably misinformed. 6. Don't say "This is off topic, this should be closed" -- it not your job to do that. Let the mods do their jobs and you just be as civil as possible. 7. If someone does insult you, don't insult them back. Respond to what they have to say in a non-threatning manner. No matter what, you'll look like the smart one of the two. 8. This is the most important one: We're here to have fun! We should be united with our love of PKI! Things are doing great now, so let's keep it that way

I don't know how many of you caught it last year, but Alice Cooper was made a part of one of the shows. He's in town once again next Wensday for a show at the Taft Theatre. Any word on whether or not he'll be part of the show again?

wrong FoF best coaster in the world!

Because the park is packed. It sucks.

One cycle is just a little under one queue. So, if all the queues are full, it's like a 4-5 cycle wait..which is 35 mins or so. Worth every second of it. So unless the line is out of the entrance, you won't wait for more than an hour.

Basically, anyone who said anything was attacked by other members of the board. They were either insulted because of the ideas, or something stupid like their grammatic skills. So, Chef made a post calling for a truce between everyone. Most people agreed to it, but then those few people who want to ruin it for everyone started their insults in that same thread. Aaron was forced to close the boards because things were way out of hand.

Deleting threads, while annoying, would not create the errors which I was getting. I was getting errors saying this like "Error: semicolon expected" which means that the core programming was just not every well done. It's a very amiture error to have. I don't know how much coding you have control over when using MYSQL, but if you do have control, you're doing it right.

Trees would be awsome for SOB. Hopefully they won't put in little 3 foot tall trees, so we'll have to wait 50 years to have the sensation that we're going through the forest as you might on The Beast. If I were going to put tunnels in, I'd put them at the bottom of the hill and partially up the second hill and maybe covering a helix.

I know this isn't exactly local, but I would consider Disney World a bigger competitor than Coney Island. A lot of people make yearly trips down there, but only go to Coney Island for company picnics, conventions, etc. Unless you're into carnival style flats, Coney Island just isn't appealing. Also, it's a shame that no one goes to Americana anymore. I realize that you can never tell which seasons it's going to be opened or closed or under new management or whatever, but they have a killer John A. Miller wooden called the "Screachin' Eagle" there. The layout is very similar to The Racers, but I think the Screachin' Eagle is a lot more fun.

I used to get script errors for some reason on PKIU all the time, but I don't get them here. I mean, every ten seconds, one would pop up. I couldn't make a signature because of it. It hasn't happend once here. I don't know much about HTML, but keep doing whatever it is that you're doing!

I'm sure they did several surveys (like the one that many of us took in the park) to decide what the public wanted. Just because we don't prefer the water park doesn't mean that everyone feels the same way. Most of us visit the park several times a year, so it's totally different to us. On the other hand, I must agree. I hate water parks.

<<PS: I do not think you would die if DZ's breaks were to fail. You would just hit the restraint and get some bruises, and maby some broken bones. I really dont know though, thats a really scary thought. (DZ's breaks cannot fail.) >> Good question... I'd say that some people would survive. Everyone would atleast be badly hurt. It would probably catch wind and slow it down a lot before it hit the ground, but you're still hitting the ground. It sounds unlikely, but people have survived hitting the ground after their parachutes failed when skydiving. Never underestimate the human body!

I'm not the biggest 3EB fan, but I still may go since it's so cheap. Try to spread the word. If they sell out the place, they may bring decent acts at low prices again next year. I'm willing to say that this is experimental.

^ Yes, there is a similar topic. It was mine, but it was "Which do you prefer, Scooby or PT?" This is different. Oh yeah, and I miss PT very much!

Hey Chef, what's that brown stuff on your nose? Anyway, Chef's right. Aaron rocks at home pages. When I was 16, I had mastered Java and Visual Basic, but to this day, I still can't get web pages to look the way that I want them to. So keep up the good work!

lol...well, I guess we know where the future expansions for PKI will be. Hopefully, they'll bring a little more business to The Racers. It's a shame that a classic John Allen doesn't get the attention that it deserves.

I'd probably find myself at Kentucky Kingdom a few times a month. It's all relevent really.. I mean, I used to think that PKI was a long drive (I live in northern KY) but now it's like a trip around the block. I suppose driving to Louisville would become that same way. I drove past Kentucky Kingdom last night when I was down there for fire school. It's kind of odd.. I mean, if you guys are coming from the south and you pass the Fields Ertle exit and can start to see DZ and the tower, don't you kind of get a euphoric sensation? When driving by KK, you don't really get that. I mean, it's like a plot of land with rollercoasters on it.. that's it. It may just be my nostalgia because I have great memories of waiting all year for my yearly visit to the park when I was younger, but it really seems like you can feel PKI's personality from miles away..

If something gets off topic but still relates to PKI, then don't close it. You guys remember we had a thread about Octoberfest and it turned into a really interesting conversation about the International Resteraunt and they closed it. I was a little mad about that. Just use your best judgement and learn from others' mistakes. The site does look great. Make sure you guys are spreading the word! p.s. Was this site something that you guys came up with when Aaron closed PKIU, or has it been something that you've been working on and decided to launch it due to the event listed above?

Are there forum rules anywhere, or can you rely on our common sense?
