Flight Commander....Boddah will have to agree with me on that

Someone is going to kill me for saying this...saying im heartless and other stuff, and that I dont post on here much...but anyways...here it goes.. WORST MOVIE FOR PKI TO MAKE A RIDE AFTER: Schindlers List.

LOL...i just wish it was more light out so we could see more of them. I also wanted more light for the old Flight Commander station, but alas...its fall and the lights go out early.. ...and now we wait.... PLEASE, Opening Day, Come soon!!! m@ilman

I had alot of fun meeting all of you... That was one of the best trips I have ever had to PKI before, just because I was with people who are as enthusiastic about Coasters and PKI as I am. It was alot of fun to "talk shop" with a few people. m@ilman

yeah, im just not up for the holding my arms up on any ride. Dane hit his hand on racer exit bridge, just holding his arms up for fun, trying to see if he could hit it. Whereas in my case, i wouldnt be trying to see if I could hit it...i would be trying to see if I could hi 5 the person on the exit bridge. BTW, PKI-C day 2 rocked. I had alot of fun, and now (honeslty) im really depressed that its over, PKI is CLOSED for the season, and I have to wait to meet all of you in person again . Fun, fun times... oh well, back to my IT Programming hell....lol m@ilman

I know i dont post much here, but im glad to see this topic. I was a fan of Flight commander ever since PKI, well KI at the time, had the ride installed. The first time I rode FC was on opening day, and it was CROWDED (obviously). The que line started on the left hand side of where the "Launch Pad" is today. As stated in a previous post, the "enterance" to the ride was really cool, it ran Under the concrete platform there is today. There were certain rows that you would stand on, and there were green gates that kept you from going up the ramps durning ride operation. After the accident, the ride was closed for a season..i still remember it like yesterday, the ride sitting there with the army green covers on all the cars. Im not sure if it was one, or 2 seasons that it was closed for , but i remember visiting it the next season, and it was opened..with the new features. I remember also, that the new features added to the ride, was in the car was a Joystick, and that was what you used to controll your pod during operation. Part of the flaw that resulted in Mrs. Taylors death was that you could flip the car upsidedown, and it would stay there untill you moved the joystick again. This was fixed by a timer on the ride to automatically flip you back up again. A few visits ago, Therickster and I went to the Launch Pad, Schmoozed up the ride op a bit (since no one was there) and she let us look around at the ride, the old que and the like). Now, you can only see the old poles from the queline, and there is very little left of the "underground station" because they have filled it in with concrete. Again, i was stupid during this time period (since i was 12) and didnt even THINK to take pictures. and I should of when i was able to see the old ques and stuff. oh well, we can probably see it at PKI-C day this weekend m@ilman

I will be happy to when we get to Delerium.....since I cant ride it... lol im too tall!!! maximum height for Delerium is 6ft 4. Unfortunetly, i am 6ft 8, hence i cannot enjoy this ride i so desperatly want to ride. oh well, see you this weekend m@ilman

Ill be there, with TheRickster. hopefully my PKI-C stuff will be in by then

eh..me too...lol m@ilman
