I first rode The Beast in '79 when I was 6. Even though my first coaster was the Sooper Dooper Looper @ Hershey, when I was 3 1/2, The Beast has always been on the top of my list just because I remember standing in line for 4 hours to ride it (the line stretched to the Eiffel Tower), and my parents cheated to get me on (see my sig), and I can remember that at the time it was the most intense feeling that I ever had.

OK, for all to know- the Dippin' Dots guy is a fictional person that spreads insane rumors about ANY park. It is like having a troll post on these boards. Purely meant to be humorous.

Is this necessary? The thread was not started to create harassment to someone that has a different view. I may not agree with their choice of a partner, but it ends there.

OK, I am not gay! I just ran across this in coasterbuzz and thought some may want to know. Gay Day

I live in Erie, PA. My wife and I have had season passes to PKI and CP for 5 years now. It is very convenient that my uncle lives about 20 minutes from PKI so we make the trip at least 3 times a year. I also checked MapBlast, DollyWood is 10 hours from Erie, not 14 like I thought.

When he does argue, just tell him to check out ThunderHead at Dollywood. Even though I have not been on it, the pics/ videos/ and comments have ALL been praising this new coaster. I may just take the 14 hour trip to check it out!

The Dippin' Dots guy strikes again!

Yes, people do win those all the time. They are called instant tickets, not lotto tickets. :stupid:

There is probably a better chance of you hitting the lotto than having the restraints fail. BTW- this is a really morbid poll!

PT first opened in 1992, and it's last year of operating was in 2002. PT was an original, where as various forms of Scooby are at other parks, and the concept of an interactive ride (like Scooby) has been around since 2000. ...and there is no Helga!

Given the right weather conditions, ANY coaster is capable of having a rollback. And it is not that big of an issue. The SoB rollback is making a mountain out of a molehill, and why it has been such an issue on other sites is really mind-boggling. It just goes to show you that not all kids can play in the same sandbox.

It is too bad some "others" assume "conspiracy theory" is always running rampant. I saw the other site just to see what others had said, and it is too bad that when a contribution is made, it is pis :censored: on, just because it was not seen with their own eyes. Nice pics though! :offtopic: Kudos to the staff of PKI Central for not running their site with bias for people's opinions and ramming their own down our throat. You guys are doing a great job!

Sorry, it is not the elevators. The tower is sinking. *cough*, *cough* (Easter cold) The Dippin' Dots guy told me.

OK, I got it. Kudos and plaudits to all that made v.2 look great!

I feel like an idiot, but, is there a actual "forums" link? :stupid:

Sorry, dropzone265 is right. PKD's Drop Zone PKI's Dropzone

Holy hair Batman! :cowboy: Great pics! I'm happy to see mom and baby are healthy and happy!

Did the retracking help with the roughness?

Was SoB down?

She? oops! Sorry! That's even funnier! :stupid:

Tarpoline? I think he meant Trampoline!

There was not a lake present before The Vortex was built in '84. If there had been one in that place at anytime, it would have been drained before The Bat was built in '81. And it may, or may not have been a lake at all. It could have been wetlands which have standing water in a particular area during the course of a year.

From what I have been reading on coasterbuzz, those who have been on Thunderhead @ Dollywood say that it is the best coaster (not just wood) they have ever been on. It almost sounds good enough for the 14 hour trip to Tennessee!

Sure PKI would announce it, if they didn't- fire the marketing dept. Why spend the money on changing things, if you are not going to let people know. It is just like PKI letting us know about the changes to The Beast, SoB, Coney Mall, etc. Disney has changed Tower of Terror a number of times now, and made sure that the word was out.
