You may want to call the park and ask guest relations. I'm not sure if there's any kind of official announced date.

"We also never found a ride with "Witch" in it... I kepted seeing the name, but never found the ride." What you were looking for was the Witches Wheel, which is an enterprise type of ride. I rode it once and it was good. You did miss a good ride in Chaos, I have had lots of fun riding that one.

I'd rather buy a video like the coasters of Cedar Point video, except PKI style. If on-ride photos are $10.00 and up, I can imagine that a vid will be even more.

I wouldn't say never....

Well, I'm 5'11" and have no problem with my knees banging.

They are talking about just dropping Paramount from the name, which is fine with me. I have never called it Paramount's King's Island and if they re-name it CBS's King's Island or MTV's King's Island (another suggestion made in the survey), I'll still just call it King's Island.

I always start at the back of the park as most people head straight for Action Zone.

I think that they should focus on putting in a hotel that is near the entrance gates, so that it becomes a resort destination. And no, Great Wolf Lodge doesn't count because PKI will not own it. And the prices are a bit steep.

Holiday World will not beat Son of Beast's records. I believe that Six Flags Great Adventure will be the one going for that next year with the Intamin plug-n-play woodie. To me, since HW's is going to be a hybrid, then it can't take away The Beast's record.

This has been discussed, however, I'm not sure we knew what the company names would be. It really doesn't affect PKI one way or the other.

My unlce has some 8MM on-ride footage of The Racers. You know, long before that kind of thing was outlawed. My guess would be early '80's.

^I don't see anyone marathoning IJ.

A hybrid woodie is steel supports with wooden track.

"Ben, no offense, but if you are willing to wait 3 hrs for TTD, a 15 SECOND RIDE! over an hr wait for a 1+ minute ride, you are a fool. I dont mean to offend you, but comeon dude, use your head! I dont care if you have to wear space suits to ride it, there is no way in hell I am waiting 3 hrs or even 1 hr for something that runs for 15 seconds and then tries to pass for a decent ride." I completely understand what he is saying. I would rather wait three hours for TTD, which is short, but very thrilling as opposed to a one hour wait for a mediocre coaster with little to no thrills. He also mentioned Millennium Force which is not short at all and much more thrilling than IJ:ST.

I don't see the point in closing this topic. If you read the thread, you can clearly see we are not discussing accidents at PKI.

Yeah, what is the retro flowrider?

"Agreed as well, But I dont think it is best to speak of these things." Why? Wouldn't you like to know ahead of time if a smaller park is not up to safety standards? Or would you rather just go and be thrown from one of their rides? "exactly, yes those people got injured badly and yes i feel bad for them but think of all the other people who were on those rides before them and left without a scratch." That doesn't mean it was safe before someone was thrown from the ride. It just means that several other people were lucky that they were not injured.

Yeah, the new coaster Italian Job:Stunt Track is what is different. I usually start at the back of the park and work forward.

My favies were Bayern Curve, Rotor, and Bavarian Beetle.

"Not what this poll is about." Yeah, I know that, genius. What I was really getting at is there are always tons of polls about best coaster crews, why not one about other crews?

^Sounds like another white substance.

I think I wouldn't wait more than 20 mins. The best parts to me are the helix and launch after the helicopter.

^How come they don't have best Eiffel Tower Crew or best flat ride crew?

Other than special events like Boddah mentioned, the weekdays are usually slower.

I voted for The Beast crew when in all reality, all of them are great. My experiences with the employees this year has convinced me that they have the best park employees anywhere, bar none.
