Nope, not the reason. Basically, it was unserviceable, so it was removed.

I just want to point something out about the ride time: If the program gets lengthened, you would complain about the wait even more. If we kept it where it is, close to three minutes, then we get its too short. Are you guys ever happy?

It was bad enough the parachutes on Sat were landing past Timberwolf and into North Parking. Thanks for the comment on the music. We worked our tails off to make sure everything ran as smooth as possible, and to make the show the best we could.

Well I did start the CAA: Certified @ssholes Association. Im not trying to be mean or anything, but when I know exactly what Im talking about and someone tells me Im wrong when they glanced in a room (and trust me, you arent even supposed to be in there except to grab radios and last time I checked sups did that) and I have been in almost every maintenance hatch in that place. It gets under my skin, real quick.

Hehe, I know it was all in fun. No its not the weight, its finding the perfect weight to go down.

Wrong, In order to keep the Nick area open, guys from Nickelodeon have to come out and inspect the area, making sure it is up to Nick standards. How do I know this? I had to deal with them, and they put my boss in a grumpy mood. How do you know that nothing else is going into Nick Central? Noone does. And why would PKI pay to pave the entire stage area for a meet and greet area if they were just going to remove it? One giant 10ft. footer?

Bring it Dane, Bring it. If I remember correctly, you got a better jump, which is half your speed, and I still OWNED you! I beat ya by at least 20 Ft, you flipping into another lane or not!

Hey Fusiondude, WRONG! The cd player you are referring to happens to be the outside/tunnel queue music. Next time read other posts instead of typing wrong information. The main show itself is situated in a card cabinet that the PLC tells when to fire. Thanks for playing.

Lets think about contracts and ridership before listing rides to be removed: Nickelodeon has a contract with PKI for Nick Central. Whats the biggest thing in Nick? Watermaze. Yeah Reptar is big, but its kinda pointless to have Nick Central with one ride in it. Top Gun, for all I know is still in their contract with PKI. Express is the 2nd most popular ride in the park, due to the low height restriction and theming. I highly doubt Vortex. Its a good people pusher, and ridership is still high. Probabily not Congo either. Its the only water ride on that side of the park, and on busy days its pretty busy down there. Tiques, just like Express, is popular with a wide age range (Even teens. They just love abandoning cars in the middle of the track late at night) so its probabily not going anywhere.

Please consult my post in this thread: http://www.pkiunlimited.com/forums/index.p...=15entry35337 Hmmm, lets see, there are several places that I know that hold special events for underage kids to go and listen to whatever pleases them. Plus, whatever happened to the great business of illigal IDs? I know it didnt go away.

Ummmm, I dont think the FCC will let me post what I hear constantly everyday. Lets just say t*tt*es and beer, radio beeps (shoot the all call beep, please?) and God are in there a lot . Or we can dive into a theory that my boss has: There are 3 gods: Holy Moly gives you what you want, Holy cow gives you want you need, and Holy sh*t takes it all away. Yeah, we get philosophical at times

Hehe this is true Pat. You also forgot to mention that if any bag has money in it, the ops are not supposed to hold onto it. The rider has to take the money out of the bag and hold it, or ride with the bag. BAD RIDE OPS FOR NOT DOING THIS!

Airguy, ease off. If you want to b*tch about something, please b*tch about either Coasterbuzz, PKIC (Couldnt resist Dane ), but please lay off the rules. You are gonna land yourself in trouble. Im an advocate of handing them out flat. Let the people blow them up at home.

Ryan, what effects are you talking about? All I know of that we lost were the eyes, and some lights in the finale that didnt affect a thing in any scene, just more craziness. Please, inform me of the other missing effects. The digitals for the main show would have to be redone, by me and my coworkers. Still it would take the majority of the offseason, and we have more projects to be working on other than one soundtrack. And no, its not on a loop, the computer triggers them as needed. And if the ride is reprogrammed, think of how weird it would sound if we just lengthened the tracks. The show wouldnt sound right at all. Hey Diana, imagine removing the Buddah in preshow. There is no door behind it. Have fun with that.

Lets honestly think about this whole Tiques relocation thing: 1) Where else would Tiques go? 2) Tiques is a very popular ride. Its great with kids and great with adults. It is a great all around ride for PKI, family orientated. 3) Wouldnt it be cheaper just to keep Tiques where it is? If you move Tiques, all you can move is the steel, cars, and station. You cant move the concrete, and thats about half the ride. 4) Ok, maybe its only half of Tiques. Think of the smallest coaster you have seen. Now try to imagine that coaster fitting into Tiques spot. Aint gonna fit. Plus they intertwine each other. I can see PKI taking out half of Tiques and putting something like a Jump2 or a flat ride there. Its a possibility. I would like to know where this rumor started, just for sh*ts and giggles.

Personally Im glad it was cancelled. If they would play music (listen, playing a beat/rhythem off of a turntable while talking to the beat is not music. It takes no talent to do that) maybe it would be enjoyable.

It means that there might be a chance that these new boardmembers will take greater interest in the theme park aspect of Viacom. That has yet to be determined, but its a possibility.

Boy you guys are confused..... The reason Watermaze is closed is because so many kids were getting hurt that they are putting a main walkway through it. If you notice, there are pipes leading through the maze in an organized way. Thats going to be the place where kids walk. PKI has wanted to get rid of it in the past, but for some reason they have kept it. Doubt its going anywhere soon.

hehe, yeah it was funny watching everyone else slip. I was used to it, since I climbed that thing about 40 times installing sound equipment on the top. Eventually you know exactly where you are going to slip, and you avoid those spots. And yes, I was dying the 8th time up those steps. But I am willing to put my title on the line for any takers.

So now I got two concerts to go to: Jars of Clay Wierd Al And that Laser show is going to suck. Not for you guys, you might have fun, but I have a feeling that tech services will be setting up a portion of it.

Actually I found that pic on PKIs website, although I do have a pic of me riding TRTR from back in the day. Right now, I believe that photo booth is being used for storage. Storing what, couldnt tell ya. None of our stuff, I know that much

The seats are hydrolic. Side B by far. Just because its not Spongebob, one of the worst conceived cartoon characters ever made. Maybe if Spongebob had a point to the show, then it might be worth watching. Just running startup on side A makes me lose IQ points. Yeah, not a big fan of Spongebob.

I would like to invite anyone who would like to race to a special PKIU VS PKIC TOURNAMENT DAY. Events will include the coolengata racers, the twisty slides, the quad slides, and other events as I think of them. Cost is the cost to get into the park. Everyone will meet at the BB fountain, right in the middle of the opening area at noon. There will be no individual titles given out, just site awards. INFO Day: June 9th Time: noon RSVP to SOBTOM by June 7th. Email me at tbombwils@tmobile.com to RSVP. Overall winning team will be given something, don't know what yet (Sorry about the generic names, I don't know their real names) This contest is not sponsored by PKI in any way shape or form. If you wish to spectate show up. If you wish to referee the event, please Email me at the address above. Remember only people who have RSVPed will be able to compete, unless one side has less people than the other

Dane did put up a valient fight, even getting one of the best jumps I have ever seen. I would like to thank him, because without him, there would have been no competition. Also I'm not part of the pkiu staff, just a lowly member. Wait, we aren't bitter enemies? **** *hides voodoo doll of dane*

Yes we do order new prints for the shows, and yes we keep the old films to use as test film to calibrate the lenses every year.
