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.

"PKI (or Carowinds, since it's on their list) = (Awesome) Theme Park" Most of the general public, including reporters, don't think of PKI as a theme park. Disney and Universal are what they are talking about. PKI is still an amusement park with a few themed rides. Six Flags has as many themes as PKI and they are still an amusement park. So PKI & CP = Amusement Park Disney, MGM, Universal = Theme Parks There's a HUGE difference.

Ummmm, no. Quit trying to tell me what to do. Now, I'll say it nice-ly, F off! Maybe I find you annoying. But I don't point it out to you. I love how the topic is your experience on IJ and I can't give my opinion. What is this, Nazi Germany? "What's saying ours isn't better than theirs?" It's an exact clone. That's what says it. And, I don't care that you like IJ. 10,000 post of praise aren't necessary either. You guys sound like a broken record. If you don't want everyone's opinions, then don't start a topic asking.

Brilliant post! You must make your parents proud.

"Quit crying whinny baby." Sorry Hitler, but the last time I checked, it's a free country and we have a little thing called freedom of speech. You really do think a lot of yourself, don't you?

I agree except about the train. It's really just to get people from the park to the water park and back. It serves its' purpose.

Learn to spell, illiterate.

"And the sad thing is, you are probably one of the ones who had to go on it in order to decide it sucks." How is that sad? What is sad is someone who doesn't ride a coaster and then claims it sucks. How stupid would that be? How else can you decide if a coaster sucks or not if you never rode it. THINK! Also, Kat Employee, I'll give you the same advice I told certain other members. Quit trying to tell me what to do. You're not my mother or father. And quit putting words in my mouth. Not once did I say PKI sucks. I said Italian Job Stunt Crap sucks. Try reading instead of skimming over people's post before you open your mouth and put your foot in it. Gulliver, nobody cares if YOU don't want a hyper coaster. A lot of other people do. So take your own advice and quit repeating yourself. And as I said before, PKI has ALWAYS catered to families.

And you assume by reading a couple of paragraphs that you know everything about me. Like I said before, get over yourself.

I see heywood jeblome is back. I don't care what you think. You are nobody to me.

I never said I don't like what they have, I just don't like their lastest choice. And, quit trying to tell me what to do, Dad, I'm grown and can make my own decisions. I love how everyone's answer is don't go any more and don't complain. It is my right to complain, just as it was other people's right to complain to the park when they removed the scooters. Get over yourself.

I appreciate your efforts, Ryan. Honestly, I can't read some people's thoughts because they all run together.

It's always been a FAMILY AMUSEMENT PARK. Wake up! Over the years, I have seen way more families than lone teenagers and coaster enthusiasts. So, now they say they want to cater to a demographic that they have been catering to for years. Duh! They've always done just that. Sorry, IJ:Stunt Crap doesn't cut it as a coaster, family or not. My point was, you don't have to build crappy family coasters like Italian Job because families were already riding the coasters that they already have. Case closed!

When it was yellow, it was the Scooby Doo. Rode it many times.

Since the 70's, my family and I have spent plenty of money there, so I can complain if I want. Funny, back in those days, we didn't need highly themed kids' coasters to have a good time as a family. There were lots of other rides for that like Bayern Curve, Tumble Bug, Der Spinnin' Keggers, Zodiac, Bumper Cars, WWC, KCKC, The Racers, The Beast, (my grandparents rode both Racers and Beast)I could go on. What they fail to realize is that they have had plenty of family rides over the years, they just chose to remove them and not replace them.

"It says it's the most exciting, thrilling mini cooper stunt ride and as far as I'm aware it is the most exciting mini cooper stunt ride, so it was and is very correct and honest about what it is." That's because, it's the ONLY mini cooper stunt ride, so it would have to be the most exciting one out there.

I never said my money was going to make or break PKI, so shove it. Ben is right. They don't spend all of their money on family attractions. Don't see grandpa riding Delirium. IJ:ST is a great kids coaster, but that's about it.

I have heard it will. It's rumored they want to hollywoodize everything. We'll have to wait and see.

Well, if IJ:ST is the best they can come up with, they can keep it. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

You can theme hyper coasters. You can theme any coaster. Look at Superman:Ride of Steel, the Batman B&M inverts, the Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Alpengeist, etc. A hyper would fit in at PKI. I have seen people of all different ages riding Magnum XL200, so you can't say it wouldn't fit in the family image. "I would like a big hyper at PKI (preferebly a B&M because CP already has an Intiman). But facing the facts, we probably won't see one for some time." Cedar Point's hyper is an Arrow, not Intamin. Their giga and strata coasters are Intamin. "Uhm, well If I recall correctly, there was no track beneath the airplanes in Top Gun" Well, if I remember correctly, I don't remember any giant top spins in Tomb Raider, so what is your point?

But, thrill seeking coaster enthusiasts are not the only ones that want these things built. Truthfully, many in the teens group are interested in that kind of thing. If I wanted theming, I'd go to a theme park, not PKI. BGW comes to mind or USF.

I wouldn't want another woodie. I think four is enough. I a hyper would be a nice addition. I think you'd be surprised how many people would come to ride it, as long as it's designed well.

Yeah, I know that not every attraction will please everyone. All I'm saying is, if this is all we are going to get are IJ-like attractions (all theming and zero thirlls), I have no reason to keep going back every year. I'm growing tired of the coasters that have been there forever and unless they do put in something thrilling, I'm going to spend my money elsewhere. It seems that CP is adding the attractions I like.

Well, I guess Cedar Point will be my new homepark then. I'm certainly not going to waste any more three hour trips to ride 40mph coasters. I'm not even saying I want a TTD like coaster here. I'm not insinuating that every coaster has to go 120mph to be thrilling either. Look at Magnum XL200, Superman:Ride of Steel, Nitro, and many more that go about 70mph and are highly thrilling not due to the speed, but the great designs with the bunny hops and airtime hills. Even Wildcat at CP is more thrilling than IJ. At least it has some nice dips and turns.

Well, whatever it is, I hope it's more exciting than IJ:ST.
