Personally, I would love to see the Addams Family coaster installed at PKI. The concept description sounded really cool.

Did you guys read the article? It says that there won't be any delays in the opening of the IJ:ST coaster.

No, a couple is two, several is more. In fact, only one person was injured. Go back to school familyman. It's not bitterness, retard. There's no point in calling Japanese people stupid when it's not necessary or true. They are very strict when it comes to safety and they are very superstitious as well. Here's a link to the discussion on coasterbuzz. Steel Dragon 2000

"Stupid Japanese refuse to reopen it because of the problem it had." First off, the Japanese are not stupid. They are very superstitious and that is why it remains closed. "The wheels broke off and injured several people. It was in 2003." No,it only injured one or two people, not several. Get your facts straight. This is how stupid rumors get started.

And, to add to that TRTR guy, not only would someone have to come out with coaster paint, it would also have to be worth the cost, which it would not when they can and will go with cheaper paint.

You still sound like an idiot. Do me a favor. Go over to Pointbuzz.com, create an account, and then post about CP running out of room and see how many people rip you a new one and they will prove to you that CP is not running out of space. But, I know you won't because you're scared. BTW, the topic is about maXair and Delirium, not CP running out of room.

Yes, but you are posting about CP and that is totally not related to PKI at all. No one is on a high horse. You need to get over yourself and post something worth reading instead of repeating yourself over and over like a broken record.

I'm not saying that your comments were directed at anyone, family man. But, I come here to read discussions and it gets real old real quick when you keep posting the same thing over and over. If you don't have something new to contribute, then don't post. You're wasting space on these boards. Ok. We get it. You think CP is running out of space. Move on to something new.

SOB TOM, cost is a huge issue with KK and TTD. Those coasters run in the range of 25 million as they are without any length to the ride. The price tag would be even more ridiculous if they were to make them longer.

No, it really was not funny family man. What it is, is ridiculous. Apparently, we need to start a topic in the community forums so you and others can post your drivel about CP running out of space. Maybe then you can get it out of your system. Like I have said, it was only mildly amusing to begin with and after 10,000 similar posts, it's just not funny any more. Back on topic, I like the colors of Delirium better. I don't think either one will be better than the other.

I agree family man, that smokers should have to pay a higher premium. Not sure if that is in effect now or not.

"It is of course their right to decide whether people smoke or not, just like they can tell us that we can't run around naked in public or do illicit drugs." But, people do illicit drugs, whether the government says it's legal or not. They are not really looking out for you, but themselves. If you overdose, you can't pay your taxes and that's less money to line politician's pockets. And, the whole running around naked stuff is crap. We are the most @ssbackwards country when it comes to this kind of stuff. As a nation, we are a bunch of prudes when you compare us to the rest of the world.

^I wasn't saying that it was the exact same people, just the same company, which you said is true.

"The people who built The Beast are a lot more skilled than those who built SOB." If I'm not mistaken, and I could be, the same company built both so it's the same skill.

I'm not comparing restaurants to amusement parks. I believe kenban was the one who mentioned it. I was just giving another POV. Don't know if you guys have heard, but the government wants to ban salt as it is not good for you either. How do you feel about that one? "I know how bars and even some restaurants are hurting but it’s the right thing to do. The health and well being of our society is the winner on this deal." True enough that it might be for the best, but that isn't up for the government to decide for me. Crap! I'm sounding like a smoker over here! I am a non-smoker and now I'm taking up for them! Why? Because, it should not be the government's decision on whether or not people smoke or where they smoke, especially in the open air.

Well, according to PKIfan73, Cedar Fair is apparently in the running as well. So, it is not as far fetched as some here would believe. And family man, you're still not funny or moderately amusing.

Kenban, I don't doubt what you are saying. However, it does not always work that way. I live in Huntington, WV and there is a smoking ban in restaurants that has forced some out of business. Others are still hanging on, but business has dropped significantly.

Yes, yes, you had to say it, didn't you? Well, it's not funny after 10,000 times it has been posted here. You guys need some new material.

Yeah, the same people whom built The Beast were the ones who did Son of Beast. Obviously, they are not as skilled at it as they would like to believe. People also forget, hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure when PKI announced they would be building the world's tallest, fastest, and only looping wooden coaster, there was a lot of buzz about it. It wasn't until afterwards that coaster lovers have realized that bigger does not always equal better.

Funny thing is, when I used to go with my family years ago, we always wanted to ride the tram. It seemed like our first ride of the day. Now, I couldn't care less about riding the tram as I can get to the gate faster.

^The check is in the mail. By the way, how much of a percentage of ownership do I get?

Why would the prices go up if CF buys King's Island? Look at what they did with GL. Gate prices went down. Do you think they would change the name back to King's Island or Cedar Fair's King's Island.

I agree, DXRunner, that smoking should not be banned. My real wish is that they would enforce the no smoking in line policy and not worry about the rest. There's no need to ban open air smoking. I see where you are going with the government thing too. Slowly but surely over the next 20 years or less, we will have less and less personal freedoms. There is an interesting thread over at coasterbuzz about the same thing. Although the topic gets way off track and out of hand on the last page, the first three pages have legitimate arguements on both sides. I post there as coasterbuzzer if you want to know my opinion on the subject. Here's the link to coasterbuzz PKI Smoking Ban I really see no need to ban smoking all together. I have friends that smoke and even though I am not a smoker, I allow people to smoke in my car, my apartment, or wherever. It's not my thing, but I am not going to stop anyone else. I think it is funny when people ask permission to smoke in my car or apartment. But, at least they respect me enough to ask. I guess some people really make a big deal of it, but I couldn't care less. I have also noticed on some ebay auctions in the descriptions it will state that the item came from a smoke free home. Now really, does it matter that much? You are correct Boddah, people would buy $8.00/pack cigarettes. Ever been to Canada? That is about what they cost up there. My only complaint is I believe if you are going to smoke, your insurance should be higher.

I don't believe that they have started testing it yet. But, opening day is not too far away, so I think we will see some testing soon.

Whoa! What's with the name callin'? Completely childish. Anyway, stealing money and smoking when you shouldn't are two totally different things. That is not a fair comparison.
