Does anyone know a link to or where I can find the tv commercials for Sonny? I loved the one with the baby stroller and would like to find it and any others.

I believe that is the day I went as well. When we went through the gate we got a free ticket to return on another day. The only time I ever remember that happening.

I plan on going on opening day to KI. I am just wondering however, where do we meet this year for the ACE walkbacks? What is the procedure this year?

I was the one at SOAR who asked the question about forwards or backwards. From what I hear, KD is only running one side (forwards) so far. But I thought I read a TR that said someone saw the other car (backwards) on a transfer track.

I got the one from Top Thrill Dragster. Now hanging in my basement....

It is an interesting change. First was done back when The Bat was breaking down and I assumed it was done to distract the public eye away from that. I also like the experience and find it nice to get a choice. Sort of like the shot ride at CP. You can ride Up or Down. Same ride, they just let you decide which way to enjoy it. If it is due to public outcry I am surprised. Every time I rode The Racer, the backwards line was at least 4 - 5 times more crowded. I would say from my viewpoint, the GP loved it that way.

While riding with my son a couple years back, we DID have/see a deer inside the track of Racer. I just kept hoping by the return trip he was gone. Lucky for us, we did not see him on the trip out. Guess he jumped in and then got scared and jumped out..... :-)

Well I have thought for years they need to add a new section to KI, "Lost Coney". This could include old rides brought back. A Tumble Bug, Whip, Flying Shoes (Dutchman), and how about building the plans from the Shooting Star. How about the Barrels (my friend could make anyone sick on these). And a version of the Lost River. I used to think this ride had a vertical drop as a kid. I really think this could draw a lot more families to a park with an area like this. Well I guess for now to enjoy this we just continue our trips up to Kennywood. Hey, while at it, why not build another Noah's Ark?

Yea the train used to be a lot different as I remember. They actually had like a story to go along as you rode the train I think. Im pretty sure they had like indians and stuff running around haha. Maybe I am wrong... I was pretty young, now its just a ride to the water park. I am sure a lot of people would like it to be like the old way even though I personally dont care. Yeah this is why I think Americana (Ferris Wheel) from GL would have been a good addition.

Italian Job Stunt Track ----> "Small Cars On Track"

Has anyone seen/taken any aerial photos of the park since they closed? Looking for eye in the sky photos to see what/where they are doing.

Does anyone know if KI will get the Americana from GL or any other flats from there for 2008?

My friend is a real spinner on the kegs. I would sit and watch him ride with others on a barrel and he could spin it so you could not see straight..... Anyone remember what they did at the end of the canoe ride? Put up your paddle if you had a good time. Then the water would run out and soak you and they would say that anyone who is wet just had a good time.....

Well guess this site was not first to tell us. I checked the pki site this morning and found no report of them not being there. Called and found out they have jackets. We went up at 1 PM and there was a steady line in and out of the park of cars. We got in a line of 50+ people and it was nuts. People complaining up and down, not sure if there was a line for just jackets or passes or what. A guy in front of us went postal and was shouting profanities at the workers. Pretty much it was craziness and we got our jackets and got out. So yes the GP was crazy about them and some are really mad about the process. Also, there were not that many boxes in the room. Hope they have more somewhere else than what we saw or they will be all gone again by tonight. So if you want one, get it quick.

Well after a long wait, they finally answered. Guess 10th time is the trick. They said that there is trucking issues and that they do not know when the jackets might arrive. They said they will update the website daily. So I guess you check the website and if it has not changed dont spend your time going up there to check.

Ok, so now we have heard that they are out and to call them to find out. Well EVERY time I call I am on hold for 15 min and NO ONE answers. So is this good guest relations. I am not about to drive up there to find out they have none. So has anyone else called and ever gotten ahold of a living person to talk to? Did they get any more jackets in?

No, I am just saying that this seems very odd since it is not the summer and I would bet 98% of the people that want to get it will be at work. So why not move hours to 4 - 8 when people CAN pick it up. Not like it is just up the street and I live somewhat close. Just thinking that it is odd timings. Banks finally learned and got hours for people to get to them, why not a simple task like this.

So basically No One will get them until the weekend. If they open at 10 and close at 4 that is bankers hours and people with jobs will have no time till the weekend. Why not do it from 4 - 8 PM. I am sure they would get a lot more people then.

My wife and son (teenager) went to HH twice this year and said there was a lot of young children there (under 10). Dont you think this is very odd since they boldly say it is not for young children and such and vulger scenes. Do they not look at these people at the gate and tell them to think twice. They even saw lots of strollers and such. Anyone else go and see this as well?

Well I had heard the final beast ride will be Wed night. Since it is a school/work night I am opting out and figure most real people will as well. So not sure that it will really happen but I have heard that it is supposed to still occur.

Just $$$$

I know they have changed so much about the passes since they were first announced, but wasn't the jacket only going to be for platinum passholders? And now it is for anyone who buys before the season end?

Glad I read this board. Did not hear the date had changed and we JUST bought our tickets on Sunday. So now they make people make a special trip for a not so special jacket. Also, We did NOT get a voucher either. So do you need one or not. The girl helping us out was not very informative. Also does the free parking go for all the parks or just KI?

Yes, would really appreciate it if it would be put on the site for download. For us non bit torrent users.

ok. so I click on the file and download it. How do I get the video? I am not familiar with bit torrent so can you explain please?
