Sounds like something I would actually like to see. -

It’s just hard to see that “other†park up north get something that all of us prized. It’s a great ride. -
Sad thing is PKI will not get another coaster until at least 07. I would not be surprised if PKI waited until 08. 05: IJ 06: Kids area expansion 07: New flat? 08: New coaster

Well look at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is a powerhouse due to its buying power of the competition. They buy in bulk and expand like a disease. I think Paramount parks are spreading the wealth along all its parks. They do this buy buying more than one ride from a company to get a better deal. Smart if you ask me. In the end Paramount will be the best!

I had a look see at that spinning coaster that someone called a wild mouse ride on steroids. I have to say with great themeing that could work out well. Every time you ride it you will see something different due to the cars spinning.

Nobody on here has the to get one and take a picture..lol.. Someone come up with some stakes or challenge someone. This is some funny stuff.

A gold season pass card will live up to it's color this year with early ride times and walk on weekends for sure. I can already feal the eyes burning into the back of my neck as I pass the entire cue line to get on one of the best themed coasters on the planet.

Man I hope they do not decide to build it at another park.

I was referring to the fly over pictures. I am also talking about CP taking away from the wetlands in the middle of the park to build more attractions. Other than the parking lots the park is locked. All the other space around it is either hotels or camping and more parking. Trust me I love CP. That was the park of choice for my family when I was growing up. I just do not like making the 21/2 drive from Columbus. When I was old enough to drive PKI became my park of choice. -

There has to b reason for the extra restraints. I like FOF the way it is now. The old restraints were very painful. Your neck and head took a beating. The new ones give you so much more freedom and lets your experience the ride in a new way. -
I know everyone will want to ride it as the construction updates drive us crazy. Wait until they begin testing it. Either way the lines are going to be bad.

I used to like the free coupon books they gave out a few years ago. They had a ton of great deals in them. I agree about BAFFD jamming the park. I like bringing friends and family for free on those days but the lines are really bad.

Look at it this way, Cedar Point is landlocked. They had no other choice but to add a flat. Other than expanding out into the parking lot or tearing down other attractions the park is maxed out. PKI on the other hand has a ton of room from what I have learned from people on this board. We have a new themed coaster this summer. and you know the commercial for it will blow the socks off CP's copy of Delirium. CP's last 2 coasters have been minimum space attractions. Look at the land PKI used for the IJ. -

Well it is a great ride. Not to mention Cedar Point is landlocked and running out of space in a bad way. -
What do you think is the best PKI Gold card perk? My favorite by far is the gold pass only days to preview the new attractions. The other has to be walk on weekends!
-
lol. I guess that would make sense. Doesnt mean it doesnt happen. But I am sure getting smacked in the melon with a camera someone let would irk me a little.

Adams Family car ride. I kind of like it. Of course Halloween is my favorite holiday hands down. The only draw back is the cars are a family ride. To make the themeing work it would need to be good. And when I say good I mean perhaps a little too good for young kids. Some of the talk on here is that PKI hsa been looking to get rid of them for years due to the $ cost to maintain them. Not to mention the long wait. Interesting though.
-
I think PKI has done a killer job with themeing. Look at Tomb Raider, what other park close to us has a ride that well themed? One of my favorite rides is FOF. From the time you approach the building you are looking at some great theming. The IJ will blow us away I think.

I am sure gold passs holders will get a prievew day. That has been the trend in years past. I usually pack the family up and make a weekend out of it.
-
Man that is so wrong. Someone is going to burn for that one.
-
Very very kool indeed! Thanks for the photos. Leads me to believe that PKI should be at or near this point.
-
Was there concept art done of the Adams Family ride? I would like to see it.
-
Come on spill it! At least give us a suspense date. Something, anything, we'll beg!
-
The concept of the coaster looks fun. I wish we could get an exact track layout to see how long it will be. The water feature looks neat but do the cars go through the water or is it something sprayed? I thought the movie was lame and could not believe they based an attraction on it. Like most of you I would have given my left arm for the Adams Family coaster. A dark roller coaster would have rocked. Could you imagine the t-shirts for the ride?

Thats too bad everyone is having problems with it. I was really looking forward to playing it.
