and we all know it wouldnt be a true event without the one and only chef around! lol... if i have to pick one of those two days, i would have to say the 16th!

hey everybody. i was just wondering why there havent been very many PKIC meething days this year? I was really looking forward to meeting some fellow enthusiasts, but unfortunately i coudl not go on opening day, to beastbuzz or the announcement for 05... i was just wondering if tehre was any planning in progress for a possible PKIC day in the near future...

i sure hope the eagles are relocated... it would really stink to think on my next visit to the park i would no longer be able to enjoy one of the best flats ever!

getting rid of the sweet stand in coney mall for a subway..... BOOO!

has anyone seeen the plans for the new paramount park in japan? i dont ahve time to search for the link right now but its somewhere on coasterbuzz.com. In cluded in the plans for the park was a replica of the paramount logo. A huge themed mountain, and the stars around it were made by a giant ferris wheel with the hub being the peak of the mountain. Drawing looks really cool, i think it would be awesome to see something like this a PKI, but it would have to include a new area and all, since they would have to obvi0usly build a huge mountain... lol

goood point ryan...

if this is indeed a "mummyesque" ride, then i'm beting 06 would be the year. i mean Revenge of the Mummy at Univeral was annoucned in may 03, and opened in may 04. thats a full year (and they already had the building from king kong). i hate to say it, but it would be worth the wait if that is the case.... i'lll take a flat next year and a world class experience in 06. guess we'll all just have to wait till thursday!

well.... looks like no beemer for us again o well... i guess i'll get over it. M@ilman, i was going to make the same coment bout the mini's being made by BMW, but you beat me to it. as for the "premeir", it deffiently looksl ike we will be getting a Premeir coaster themed to the Itailan Job. Not sure i like the themeing too much, but theres not much i can do about it... lol still should be a great ride, and from what i've heard, the mummy is an amazing ride so if its anything like that i can just picture it now. Sudden stops because of cars or armored trucks flying at you, throwing it in reverse to avoid obsticles and awesome burnouts / spinouts the entire time... kinda sounds excting! i hope we have the right idea here, but i'm convicned

300 undeveloped acres is a lot.... lets not forget that. PKI has plenty of room for a new campground on the other side of hte park. i guess we shall just have to wait and see.

i agree. a pass to return any day for the rest of the season is a great deal.... one that is only good on the 29th of august is horrible. 1) because like fof said it would be no mroe than a BAFFD, and 2) because i am most probably going to be in hilton head that week... lol

sounds awesome.... provided i dont have to work that morning, which i may or may not, i will deffinetly try to be there!

well, reports lately have been that the Great Wolf Lodge company is lookign to build a major resort/indoor waterpark on the site of the cuurent campground. speculation, or actually i guess its just suggestion has been to move the campground out towards boomerang bay somewhere so those of us regulars at the campground can still enjoy it. i guess we will jus have to wait and see.

call it a hunch but i'm thinking a launched 4d. there was talks about the development of this ride a fe wmonths back, perhaps S&S is taking arrow's X design to the MAXXX! ya know? l (maximum x) or something like that? i'm not counting on seeing it happen, but its just a thought.

haha cap'n... lol you're right.... sometimes i think people are expecting way to much

she didnt die on the coaster. that is not why it is closed. i havent heard why it is, but that woman died peacefully at her home from what i heard....and it was just worth noteing that she was a coaster enthusiast untill the very end.

i do not think that poster is any indication of what is to come. i have a poster exactly like that one in my room (not as big of course) adn it is from when the movie first came out. the coaster track was on that poster becuase the movie took place in a theme park (PGA) if i'm not mistaken..... hasnt that poster been up for years??? or was the old one for the original beverly hills cop? i can't recall!

not exactly what i expected.... but really cool none the less! i like it!

correct me if i'm wrong, but REBEL YELL at PKD does have an identical layout and very close dimensions... (within a few inches, feet or MPH) In my opinion, that makes Rebel Yell a clone, if not exact, it is stil very similar. and oh yeah, who said anything about The Racer being removed???

Vortex, i beleive the news letter says "the same size, wtih a bigger marquis" so the marquis will be bigger but the actual sign will be roughly the same size. the newsletter also says it will incorporate the gates to the design... i'm excited!

so i'm assuming that all of the speculation prooved to be false and there was no announcment made? Anymore hints dropped about what may be coming next year? hope everyone had fun, wish i could have made it!

actually, this "Frequent Faller" is much like S&S Power's Screaming Squirrel, however the one big difference is the fact that Interactive's Frequent Faller, the seats are open and swing back and forth, kind ofl ike the way you can rock a ferris wheel seat. The Rocking seats should make the ride that much more interesting... i'm all about seein one local, but not necesarily pki. i'm looking for much bigger things in 05!

i heard it on the radio... the competition between BB and the Beach will heat up in the future... now that PKI has a highly marketable waterpark, i think The Beach needs to add more than what they did this year (cant recall exactly what it was, but it isnt much). They need a major expansion and maybe a master blaster or something of that magnitude to keep up. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens... but i think BB is really going to hurt the beach since it is free with park admission and with a season pass.

the cost will be $17.95 i beleive. not bad considering i paid 30 something last time it was in town... lol

i never remember water under The Beast, but i do remember hearing about it. i can see how the standing water would attract insects (mosquito's) most probably, and well, i wouldnt want them all over me while i was in line, so gettin rid of the water was probably in everyones best interest.

experienced them for the first time last night... i really do not think they make much of a difference in the ride at all. they are just there for safty, and as a precaution do to all the accidents lately. no big deal, they dont bother me at all, i dont think they ahve an effect either way.
