I agree that the government shouldn't be allowed to tell people where or where not to smoke, but I disagree it is the government's decision of whether people smoke or not. It is of course their right to decide whether people smoke or not, just like they can tell us that we can't run around naked in public or do illicit drugs. But as long as smoking is legal I do agree that they shouldn't tell people where or where not to smoke. And I in no way think they should make smoking illegal.

Well why mess with the motors at all if they didn't want to slow it down.

Without snapping there's not much point to the eagles. I mean snapping was by far the best part, without snapping the eagles are basically a minature zephyr.

Dxrunner, don't come to Columbus. Although we allow smoking in open air and in your car there is no smoking allowed in any public establishment including traditional smoking places such as bars and bowling allyies.

I voted Busch, they make amazing rides with the amount of themeing of about what Paramount does. Plus, Busch has the best landscaping and is very clean.

^What types of changes would you like to see then Chef. I know I'd like to see PKI expand out onto more of their land but thats just me.

^I'd have to agree with you 100 percent on this chef, none of us know and we should all just be civil about it and if CF does end up buying PKI I'll give credit to everyone who thinks they might.

^nice pictures. Yes the new kids area does look nice but I'm not sure if it'll beat PKI's, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I like the picutes of the Happy Days Dinner, now that we know PKI is getting one, I wonder if all the Paramount Parks are getting a Happy Days Dinner along with the smoking ban.

Longlivebeast, yes construction dates are set well in advance of two months, sometimes the rides are planned years in advance, but he still could have been looking at Delirum. It might have been a trip to be like "let's go see what our new ride is going to look like and operate like." Because even though you see all the pictures and descriptions nothing beats seeing the real thing, he might have also been there asking how maintence was and if it had a lot of down time, even though he could have asked that over the phone so I don't know, but then again NO ONE knows for sure expect the CEOs and higher ups.

It has to be more than 50 million obviously PKI and PCW would be worth the most but still PC has to be at least 150-200 million. I'd figure that PGA would be the cheapest out of all of them.

With the whole Dick Kenzel thing I wonder if he or other CF executives were spotted at any of the other Paramount parks. The only reason he would have been at PKI is to look at what he might possibley be buying so it would make sense that they would have visited all of the parks, because its not like any business deals would have been performed at PKI.

^You completley misunderstood what I'm saying. PKI is the flagship park of Paramount so it recieves the most money of Paramount parks, while CP is the flagship of CF so it recieves the most money. If PKI is owned by CF it will no longer be the flagship and will recieve less money then currently. This is a common fact and makes perfect business sense. So Snapper please don't be a pompus ass who thinks his opinion is always correct and don't jump on others for their opinions cause I don't jump on you for some of your assinine posts.

Ben, its not that CF isn't a great company its just that they would probably suck for PKI. The reason for this is they are a smaller company and couldn't afford to put in a new ride every year. Also, CP would most likely still be the flagship park of CF and since CP and PKI are fairly close PKI would probably end up getting treated like the red headed step child with the beat up not as exciting or expensive rides.

While I agree that PKI and CP aren't direct competitors they do compete over attendence from the largest city in Ohio, that being Columbus. I happen to live in Columbus and know for a fact that CP draws most of the Columbus crowds. So while although neither needs Columbus to survive it is a large area that they do battle over.

^Man that's just cold, but I found it quite funny.

Yea, PKI has tons of room. They are in no way what so ever even close to out of room. If anything they need to expand out on some land and stop building over old rides.

Wickedv6, yes there is one suspended launch coaster and it is at PKI's sister park of PKD and its called Volcano the Blast Coaster, but its the only one. I would have to agree that the soundwave would probably be for a different park which would most likely be PGA or possible PC. I like FOF the way it is but would like it to be updated with revamped themeing and a new movie. Who knows for its 10 year aniversary next year they could possibley revamp it along with the nick area.

Here's some new ariel pics of KK if you want to see them. KK pics The second hill looks huge and the brake run looks like it dosen't start till after the bunny hill which would give some amazing air.

^Ha, that's because structural engineers are paid the crapiest out of all the engineers. The best paying are either chemical or electrical depending where you get a job.

Yea the Eiffel Tower does look bad, but having the game I know its impossible to make because they don't give you the correct type of supports.

I think its a great location for CP to put maxair, not much atracts people to that part of the park excpet WT, which is down a lot due to wind. Hopefully this will bring more people to that section of the park.

Yea theres no ride going in there, although not to completley get on Kong Fu, I guess it is a possibility that a new ride could be built there sometime in the future, just in no way is it this year.

^Well I'd like to say very nice pics it seems a lot more came out this time then last. Although I would still like to see an ariel shot of The Beast back in the woods and maybe one of WWC, but still the pics are very nice, makes me more excited for the park to open.

^Haha, Familyman your hypothesis was proven correct, even though I don't think CP is quite as land locked as some think.

I think Top Gun is the same, although its hard to tell from such a distance. I don't think it was painted though because you think that would have been mentioned during the IJ:ST tour when it was said Face Off was being painted, I don't know why they would keep painting Top Gun a secret. About the SOB tunnel thing, although its not a tunnel it would make perfect sense for it to have one. I've never understood why it dosen't considering the other two coasters in the family both have tunnels.
