I wasn't overly excited about anything on the poll. I don't like change, I'll go ahead and say it. I don't like things that I have great memories of to be removed. Each visit to PKI is special to me, it's like creating more great fun memories every time, even Flight of Fear, I like the theming and I wouldn't like for it to change. I hate it that PT, the Tiques and FE were removed. I only hope that Paramount realizes that we love these rides and would rather have them stay.

I like SDATHC, but I still prefer PT. There was just something about it.

I think a haunted trail in WWC is a great idea! It would take some of the lines away from the other attractions and RT is the perfect setting.

AZ is Action Zone. I like those pics! The ones of opening day are cool.

I like Rivertown just because of the atmosphere, it's quiet, there are actually trees around and it has fewer guests. I think IJST will kind of take away from RTs charme however, because it seems like more of high tech, quest atracting magnet. I will miss the tiques and the flyers. My second favorite would have to be Coney Mall, especially during Fear Fest! Octoberfest would be third, I liked the band they had there for a while on Saturday nights.

I know this is off topic, but speaking of clips does anybody have a clip of the music that was on the front page of PKIC during Fear Fest?

Can't stop listening to clip!

Me too. It's funny, when it was stll open, I never really gave it a second thought. We rode it and all, but I never realized just how much I liked it until it was gone. Listening to that clip of the music from PT brings back many happy memories.

My first ride is always The Beast. Then we'll probably ride it again, and maybe again...

Yeah, we went almost every day during FF and there was fog every time. I liked the vampires! It was fun to watch them sneak up behind a group of girls!

We waited for about 20 minutes and thought it sucked. It was really a waste since it was the only one we got to get one since the lines were so long for everything else. Which weekend has the shortest lines for the haunted attractions?

OK, I'm sure FoF does launch at different speeds depending on how many people are riding and the weight of the riders and that the average is around 54 or so, after all, what reason would PKI have for lying to us. What bothers me is NUGBOS coming in here and anouncing that The Beast tops out at 52mph. That's crazy. When it first opened its top speed was advertised at 70mph, then, for some reason or another it was scaled back to 65mph. Since the began redoing the track the rebanking to turns in 2001 in has been clocked at faster speeds, around 70mph or so. I'm not saying that is runs this fast all the time, there are hot sticky days when it is going noticably slower. There are even some days(SOME days) that the ride ops do only take it to 52 and I have been there on those days, but, then there are the good cool dry days when it just flies. You can completly deny this if you want to. You can come on here and call me an idiot for all I care but I'm not going to argue with you because I personally know one of the people that repairs/keeps up the ride and is there when they clock it so there is really no point in me arguing over it. I know it's true and has been clocked at these speeds, if you don't want to beleive it, that's your buisiness.

Most if not all major rides are open during FF. The Beast is a must at night especially during FF!

Could they please change the video on The Beast! At least on other rides they play different videos. BTW NINJA, saw you working on Recar Friday. We got on 8 rides in 2 hours! Too bad there weren't more days like that this year.

We just went and renewed our passes and an '04 calendar came with them. It says that PKI is closed every day this week but Friday. The calendar on their web site says they are open every day this week. I believe it also says they are only open until 9 during FF. Just wondering if anyone new which calendar is right.

Yeah, Skylab was cool. My dad and I really liked it.

007 was my favorite. Smash Factory was second. The only thing I liked about 7th Portal was when the saw and snakes came at you you could put your hand through them.

Pass preview night usually isn't crowded. As for opening days some are and some aren't. It really depends on the weather and if people want to go or not.

I think that the pass preview is only on Sunday.?

Why can't they just have a longer wheelbase on the trains? Since sitting over the wheels in what makes it really rough in the first place, why not just extend the wheels out in front and back? Just a thought, but it would work.

1. The Beast 2. Son of Beast 3. Racer(Backwards) 4. Delirium 5. Face/Off 6. Flight of Fear 7. Top Gun 8. Vortex 9. Viking Fury(Very last seat) 10. Drop Zone Now the areas! 1. Rivertown 2. Coney Mall 3. Octoberfest 4. International Street 5. Action Zone 6. Boomerang Bay 7. Hanna-Barbera/Nick

Version 2.0 is my favorite also. I just think it was a really neat layout.

I believe my first coaster was The Beastie. I was three years old so it scared me, as soon as I was tall enough to ride The Beast my dad made me get on and then The Vortex. I said I would never ride either of them again but next time we went to PKI guess what I was riding. I've been hooked ever since.

Congrats on the baby Chef! Hope everything geos well. I'll ride The Beast for you!

What ride will you ride first when you go to PKI? I will, of coarse, ride The Beast! I'll probably try to ride Son of Beast too.
