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.

I think you nailed it there, DXRunner.

I think a lot of what makes a park enjoyable is escapism. You are completely getting away from your everyday life. Some people consider themselves adrenaline junkies for the fact that they love coasters. It's kind of like taking your life in your own hands, but not really.

"You cant punish the whole crowd for like 2 bad people, it just doesnt work like that." Actually, it does work that way. It was a lesson learned in the first grade for me. I believe my teacher said it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. I can't count the number of times that some jerk in class acting up wound up getting everyone in trouble.

"Sorry to qoute the whole post but I just wanted to point out that apparently we have Cedar Fair's accountant as an active member of the PKIC community" Funny Stuff! Not to mention that Cedar Fair would have to view this purchase as something that will create a ROI. CF does not have the money Viacom has and if CF were to purchase PKI and its' properties, there would still need to be money there for capital expenditures.

It's funny that someone said that PKI really didn't have enough space for a hyper or giga...bullcrap. They probably have at least twice the space as Cedar Point, yet they have a giga, hyper, and strata coaster. Believe me, if one thing PKI is not lacking, it's space. It's a non-issue. Now, whether or not they want to spend the kind of money to build one, you might have a valid point there. Except, I'm not really sure how much PKI is spending on IJ:ST, so that may be a non-valid arguement as well.

I really don't think that there will be a complete ban. But, there will be designated smoking areas like Holiday World. I personally don't care if anyone wants to smoke out in the midway areas. Just keep it out of restaurants and queue lines.

Cedar Fair does seem to have it going on.

Oh. Is is newbie wannabe moderators?

"Hey buddy, thats highly debatable as to who is #1, thats your opinion, not everyone elses and dont get off topic starting an argument about it" It's not debatable since they are voted the #1 amusement park in the world every year by the amusement industry.

It is least crowded when there are the least amount of people in the park. Nothing else is certain.

I am getting a vision. Yes, yes, it is all becoming clear to me now. PKI will definitely get a new ride for next year. There you have it folks!

maXair is not really in there tight. The camera angles are doing it no justice.

They have been trying for years to get a hyper built there. Maybe now that CF operates it, the new coaster will happen.

I just don't see how people think that keeping a chain and lift hill maintained could possibly be cheaper than that lifting mechanism. I'm no expert, but I have to say, no way.

Can I make a request here? I want mine to say PKI Pimp.

Well, other than pointing out the community forums, does anyone think it would be a good idea?

I agree, Boddah. Old schoolers here have been jumping on every newbie about where they are posting. The community forums have not been around that long. We need to give people a break and kindly point them in the right direction instead of belittling them and flaming them.

I was wondering if PKIC has considered having a links page somewhere to roller coaster manufacuters?

I haven't heard anything. If I remember correctly, after Draster was topped off, there was a ton of electrical work still to be done as well as the station. I imagine that is what they are doing now on Ka.

^ Sounds like a load of crap to me. And, I even believe in the supernatural. As far as your first story goes, it could have been any employee not in uniform that just happened to be drunk running around. And, about your second story, did you actually see the camera footage of the alleged person that walked by and no one saw? I sincerely hope that you do not believe everything you hear. The security guard could have just been pulling your leg.

Honestly, who gives a crap about the colors? And yes, maXair will rotate in the opposite direciton of Delirium. I have a feeling that the ride will seem like an exact duplicate, no better, no worse.

I took the survey yesterday. I like both of the Top Gun coasters. Maybe they will remove the current TG and replace it with a better one. Not saying I don't like TG, I'm just speculating.

Nice new photos.

"What I am getting at here is Premier builds great rides and Ithink even better than B&M and Intmain." I couldn't disagree more. B&M and Intamin are the industry leaders. Premier is just going the route of heavy theming instead of pushing the limits on thrills. The fact that we have Face/Off and Top Gun have nothing to do with getting a B&M inverted. Like was said earlier, CP has Iron Dragon, Raptor and Wicked Twister; all inverted coasters. Also, Top Gun is lame compared to the Raptor.
