  1. GWL will be kinda busy during the offseason, but I think once KI opens up, then it will dwindle a little. But if GWL can make a deal with KI and build a campground there, that would be a great business investment.
  2. It would be the same rate of G's. You arent changing the track banking, speed, or aerodynamics (well this you will slightly but it will slow the train down) to change the G rate. The logistics on it are interesting though. It wont happen because of the alignment of the mag brakes. You would have to flop everything around the train, including the fins for the mag brakes, and that you would have to properly realign like they did the first time for the brakes. Not much error can be executed on those things.
  3. Why would they change the concrete type? Its about strength not the weather.
  4. People, let us just remember one thing: This is the RUMORS board, so just because one person believes one thing and another beleivees another means nothing. And you are right CoasterZ, people WILL be surprised.
  5. Wow, that was taken way too seriously than what I wanted it to be. Sarcasm, the greatest inside joke.
  6. Ok I will let it slip: Cedar Fair worked out a deal with Six Flags and are moving X into the park. To keep with tradition, the new ride will be placed in the North parking lot and the line will travel approximately 1.45 miles from the exit of Top Gun to the parking lot, with no switchbacks.
  7. What issues do these canidates stand for? How will they lower oil prices? Or better yet, tobacco prices? Its a crime Im paying close to 3.25 for a pack of Camel Lights in KY
  8. Alright people, I need your help. It sounds like WCPO is interested in "spinning" this story. From the E-mail I recieved back from the WCPO team, they would like more proof than just saying "industry officals give him no credit." Also, they want to know what type of services this "organization" offers parks. Lets get to work, and we might just have PKI Central's first big news story.
  9. I actually just shot an email to the woman who wrote the story, and I wish I would have gotten a copy but didnt think of it. I will post what she says.
  10. Actually, funny this should be brought up. This has been a debate in the Pagan community for some time. Halloween is the "Witches New Year," a celebration. And yet, you see witches plastered on walls because their broom ran wild, or a witch hexing those who come into a room. This is completely false, however it has split the Pagan community in half: Those who embrace Halloween (like me), and those who think it should change.
  11. Ryan was leading me and this group of chicks when we went through. Actually, during FearFest, the tower is Purple.
  12. Except for Christmas. Im scarred for life because of that.
  13. Gatta love superstitous people. If the "Number of The Beast" scares you off, you probabily couldn't handle any Halloween events without losing your mind. Its a number, just like 13 is no worse than 7. Anyway, great pics, I actually plan on attending my first (non-working) FearFest that I have gone to!
  14. I almost got my foot ran over by the SOB train while yelling at a guest to get off the handrail my first year. You guys just need to pay a little bit more attention. I know, Youre saying Tom, I was checking bars and just slipped. It happens, I know, but stay aware of your surroundings. Pay attention, and you wont get hurt. Thats how I survived being a ride op.
  15. Whats wrong with a sports grill at the park? I would be there. I love sports (minus soccer, cant get into that, and Ive tried. I can watch an entire NASCAR race without falling asleep, I can watch a golf tournament, and I still cant get into soccer)

    So you dont do Flight of Fear? Actually, Im not one for haunted houses. I will go just to experience it, but I dont get everything that everyone else gets out of it. I just dont like that much anxiety in one sitting.
  17. Thats why you are not park mangment. I can relate to both sides of the story. Does it suck that he had rain checks? Yes. Did the park go above and beyond what they were bound to? Yes. Should the girl have walked (if I remember the parking lot) a whole 1000ft off property with the guy, sold the tickets, and then left? Yes.
  18. How bout they just burn it in the offseason, and then invite everyone to roast marshmellows and hot dogs over it? Sure you would probabily be poisoned due to the toxius fumes, but who cares! It will be a huge party!
  19. About Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Depp's character was supposed to be slightly perverted. Read the book and you will understand. The original C&tCF was not based off the book, and was made to appeal to the younger audience. This version is based off the book and IMO is much better.
  20. Klock was being sarcastic people. Anyway, Ryan could probabily contact the park and get it there, since it was broadcasted through QTV on channel 14 I think.
  21. Call it gut instinct, but I have a feeling that the Paramount Story wont be around much longer. No source, just my gut instinct. The reason I say this is because to be honest, you really dont see thousands of people a day walk through there and look at all the props. Plus, that is kinda prime real estate for something (a large flat, or a couple of flats to be sure) so I think PT's days are numbered.
  22. If Ryan even said anything about me..... You guys have no idea how devoted these guys are to the site. Ryan comes over to my house and immediately gets on the site, and when I go over there I have to peel him away from the site in order to go smoke.
