The use to be an unofficial gay day at PKI. It was always the first Sunday in June. That's when the red shirt thing went on was the unofficial day. Now the park is always closed for a park sell out the first Sunday in June. I did some research and the first official gay pride night was held in September of 1998. So this year will be the 6th year of having an official gay pride night.

PKI had their first official Pride Night last year. It was the day the sign fell. Umm no last year was not the first official gay night. PKI has been having an official gay night for quite a few years now. I'm not sure when it started Late 90's maybe. But I remember working on gay night in 1999, 2000 and 2001. For along time it was always the 3rd Friday in September. But in 2002 it was in August, the friday before Labor Day. And this year it's October.

The Eiffel Tower is 32 years old. It opened with park in 1972.

I'm sure everyone by now knows that PKI has a newsletter. I'm wondering if anyone entered the contest, to the name the newsletter? If you have what name did you suggest?

I'm curious to know, why they are not any Pic's from Sneak Preview or Season pass day on this site? Not even too much talk about either day.

Top Gun may not be the longest, tallest or even the fastest coaster in the park. But no rollercoaster is a waste. Top Gun delivers a good punch, and I love the way it makes you feel.

I will never forget, in 2002 I was waiting in Line for TR:TR and these girls were spitting Icees thru there straws. Some of it got on my shirt, and boy was I mad. And I let them know it too. I think I scared them, it was kinda funny.

T-shirts or Park memoribilia would be cool.

Anyone ever notice the random picture of drop zone on the site? It looks like the bottom of the tower is bent? Kinda crazy hehehehe.

No, PKI was the only park that had a PT.

On Congo Falls, there's automated speil, that the operator can push that would say "Please remain seated and keep your hands inside the boat until the boat comes to a complete stop inside the station thank you"

LOL, to be honest this was one of my favorite rides at PKI. It would probably show that, knowing the speil and all.

I want to Ride Vortex. Love that ride, been my favorite since day one, back in 1987

In 1999 it was to roate all the way to the top, you would go all the way around twice. Drop Zone has experienced alot of problems with the roating. Sometimes it doesn't roate at all just goes up. So now that's why it only roates once. It's been doing that for atleast the last 2 seasons.
