  1. As everyone who knows me knows, I am looking forward to riding Son of Beast and Shake Rattle And Roll first.
  2. Top Gun's refurbishment was talked about by Jeff Siebert at the Post BB Tour Q&A.
  3. While there aren't many TOGO's still around I think a smaller park may be interested in KC but as far as a large park buying it, I would say that's preatty much out of the picture.
  4. There will also be video taken from the tour and well make sure to get that up ASAP too.
  5. Well don't fret it too much if you can't make it, we'll still love you all just as much as we do now lol.
  6. I personally think that we will get a B&M Flyer, but I am hopeing to get an Intamin Hyper/Giga. I think Pki has a lot of great coasters but we really need one that is air time crazy. Racer is the best bet right now for air so a nice steel air machine would be welcomed by me.
  7. My Worst ride is a tie between Beast and Vortex, my ride on Beast was just rough the entire way, the kind where your side starts to hurt and with Beast being 4 and Half Mins long it was quite painfull. Then on Vortex I hit my jaw on the restraint when we were exiting the second Corkscrew and turning into the batwing.

    one unlucky ride

    That did happen it is the reason TG ran one train last season. Employees will deny it but it did happen.

    one unlucky ride

    Top Gun - Jeffery Siebert has stated that Top Gun will stay for years to come. Adventure Express - Popular family attraction, still young. Racer - Their signature coaster and the cause of the second age of coasters. Vortex - Possibly sometime in the future but not that soon. Flight of Fear - Most likely the most popular ride at PKI. Action Theater - Cheap to get new movies.
  10. Please bring my Ninja Smilie back to the forums and some of the other favorites like the ATV rider. <--- Hooray
  11. I remember this comming up last year and in 01 lol. The Flyers are designed to handle snapping, that's why the have so much slack to take the force.
  12. Son of Beast is excellent, I think it's fine as is.
  13. The $25 Million was for Face/Off, Drop Zone and Son of Beast, I believe. $15 Million was spent on Son of Beast alone, I could be wrong but I think that's right.
  14. Tomb Raider : The Wait will be much better with an extended program but it will not resolve the low capacity (75 People Is a lot but moving in and out is extreamly slow). I think that PKI should put in another Associate so that there will be 3, one for each row to try and help speed up the process.
  15. The odds of it being Vekoma are very slim, most signs point to Intamin AG and Boliger Malibard. I would rather have an Intamin or B&M over a rough Vekoma any day.
  16. The Coolangatta tower looks kinda creepy, that would of been a good Fear Fest attraction lol. The Frame work for TT looks to be 3/4 done from what I have seen on Zinga @ Holiday World.
  17. Well I can't vouch for the way you ride since it's an unsafe riding behavior and I certainly don't advise you do it but it's your choice. The most (Unsafe) thing I do is touch the pavement when the cars are slowing down to stop. Nothing Death Defing but still a bit dangerous. The Rodeo is exciting enough for me so I will stick with it!
  18. Favorite Roller Coaster : King Cobra I could never get enough of this ride, from the start when I would get in line I loved seeing/hearning the train roar by as a walked under it's second bunny hill. While in line the smell of it's diesel fuel and loud block brakes were bliss to my senses. I would allways gander at the sign instructing you how to get into the restaints and think how cool they were. When I reached the station I went to the first availble spot and waited for my ride and watched the operator in the tower dispatch the train. It was finally my turn to ride, I hoped into my restraints worked my arms through and pulled my leg restraint up and got ready for another great ride. The operator would check to see that I was comfortable in my restraint and then move on to the next car. Everyone was ready and we were off to the chain lift, I allways watched the friction wheels as I approached the lift. On the lift I looked at the Eifel Tower and Days of Thunder and how high up I was, it allways seemed a lot higher than it was. At the top I read the "Please Keep Feet Flat On Floor At All Times" and checked out the lightnin rod. Around the turn to the drop and bam, instant air time all the way down the drop straight into the loop, I could see the car in front of me get really close to my face, a truely awesome site! Up the first bunny hill, more excellent air time and right into a near vertical banked helix. I allways tried to pick my feet up but it was preatty much impossible. Now it was time for the second bunny hill, again great airtime! The best part of the ride was next the Trick Track, out of no where we banked to the left and then centered out an went up the second to last turn. After the turn we dropped again getting more air, then it was two small bunny hills giving more air! We slammed into the brakes ending our great ride and then entered the station. I got out of my restraint, rejoyced my excellent ride and went out the exit. As I walked to Action Zone the other train roared out of the helix and passed me. I left King Cobra and went back into it's line for another great ride. That's why I love King Cobra and it will allways be my favorite coaster! Favorite Flat Ride : Shake Rattle And Roll The first time I rode this ride it scared the crap out of me, the incredable air time made me think I was going to fall out. Once I worked up the courage to ride it again I got hooked. Wlaking down it's queuee I love seeing the cars get right next to you then whizz off, a great thing to see. Once on the ride I get in to Orange # 2 (Of Course) and feel the car swing and sway. The comfortable seats are a great plus too. Time for the lap bar to come down and make it's signature electrocuteing noise lol. The operator comes by and checks all the lap bars and then gives the signal. Now if you have a good operator they will buzz the bell with a little diddy! Orange car #2 revs up and I'm off flying under the arm and progressivly getting higher. Enter the Rodeo, I place my right hand on the hand rail and throw my left up high lean back and yell "Rodeo!"! Magnificant air time all the way through and looking at the ground while at the top is excellent too. The cars start to lower and eventually stop, the restaints "Electrify" and I walk off Orange # 2 till my next ride. That's why Shake Rattle And Roll is my favorite Flat Ride!
  19. I think that the renovation of Rivertown was the best move because it brought traffic back to the rear of the park. Allthough we probably wont see any Action Zone Treaffic relife soon the renovation did help it some.
  20. 10. Miss PKI 9. Run around my room yelling while wearing my pants as a hat lol 8. Eat a lot of food 7. Have PKI dreams that make no sense 6. Work on PKIC and Coaster Ville 5. Riding my box off my roof for some air time 4. Play Playstation 2 3. Keep In Touch with my friends. 2. Post on PKIC 1. Watch My PKI Video I recorded on PKIC day.
  21. Not a Problem Charles, thank you for being so kind to me when we first met and allways being optimistic in the boards. I do appreciate you kind nature and mature attitude.
  22. I have never been on a laydown on your stomache slide before so the Coolangatta Racers will be fun for that, kinda high though at 55 ft lol. I have been on innertube rides but nothing like Tazmainian Typhoon, that looks to be very fun maybe even get some air time.
  23. -Backwards I chose backwards because it isn't nearly as rough as forwards and I like riding backwards lol. I remeber being terrified of riding backwards butonce I did it I was hooked, you just can't beat facing the forwards train while racing and making funny faces at the other riders!
  24. I think PKI's biggest mistake is letting their themeing go down the toilet but they are fixing that now.
