The ride is going to be about two minutes long, so I don't see how that is really short.

I think this is a much better thong. Warning: This link contains content that some may find offensive. (Especially Christians)

I want to know, how many people are planning on being there for the opening of the Italian Job: Stunt Track? I have never been to an opening of any coaster and think it would be cool to be there on its' opening day.

"Does Cedar Fair WANT to buy PKI? I'm sure if the deal was offered to them, they'd jump on it like a nine year old on a trampoline." No. They would jump on it like R.Kelly on a nine year old. "PKI will catch Cedar Point in the coaster count eventually. I think that IJ:ST will be successful and will be followed by another coaster within a year or two." You are assuming that PKI is going to build another coaster soon and CP is not. I am willing to bet that CP will build at least two before PKI builds one more.

I think Delirium_Guy has it right about the Gerstlauer Eurofighters for the Addams Family coaster. You can do so much more with the Eurofighters. Personally, I can't wait for the IJ:ST. Even though it is not going to be very high or fast, I think it will be awesome with the effects.

That is a good idea. I wonder if you could put the passes on "hold" and mail in a payment so it won't be charged to your card.

What were your overall thoughts on this season?I think that there was a definite improvement in the employees. So much so, in face, that I now believe that they are on the level of CP employees. (Which CP's emp. attitudes are starting to suck.) Probably by next year, PKI's employees will exceed CP's. What was your favorite attraction this year?I am going to have to say Delirium since this was the first year I rode it. What's the biggest surprise you received from PKI this year?CDBB revamp of the water park. What are you most looking forward to next year?IJ:ST even though it came at the expense of other attractions. What was your best park experience this year?Short lines and a great Beast staff. How could've the 2004 season improve? Refurbish theming in some areas.

I'm not saying that no one enjoyed the Eagles. I have said it many times before. There are several rides over the years that Paramount removed that I loved dearly...i.e. Bayren Curve, Der Spinnin' Keggers, Bavarian Beetle, etc. Yes, I was briefly upset, but now Paramount is finally getting it right to install fantastic new rides in place of the old ones. Get over it. Move on. Life is too short to dwell on something like the removal of a favorite ride.

Yup, Boddah's right. Besides which, parks make decisions based on Return on Investment (ROI), not patterns. Still, basing predictions off patterns is of no use either. It still won't tell you anything. They can make you think you know what is coming next, say a new flat, and then totally throw a monkey wrench into the mix with a BB expansion. Maybe this thread should be more of a wish list than predictions. BTW, here's my prediction for 2005. PKI will in fact install a new ride or attraction of some sort that will make them lots of money with a nice ROI. That's about all there is to know.

Just say it Klockster, you just want to spin 'till you puke.

Why is it that people think there is some kind of pattern in what PKI is installing? There is no pattern. You cannot predict what is coming next based on what they have previously done, just like every other park.

Dude, you're reading the wrong facts. It says the time of ascent(the lift hill) is 15 seconds, not the entire ride. Ride duration is 2 minutes.

No, that is not the screaming squirrel. It is listed as the frequent faller from Interactive Rides. I don't think it looks boring at all. I really don't think you would want the momentum to keep building up considering how the cars swing back and forth. Here's a link to the screaming squirrel from S&S/Arrow.

I, for one, can't wait for this remake of WOTW. I think a flying coaster with custom alien ship style trains would be cool.

I liked the concept for the Addams Family coaster as well. But, I think many people were thinking that the coaster was going to be more on the lines of a Gerstlauer Eurofighter. I can put up a link to the Eurofighter if you like.

Bring on the Monster!

I'm still all for a Nick themed super saturator. Looks like fun.

Read again. I never said that it did not mean alot. I said that there have been just as many other meaningful rides out there that have been removed.

"If they do come back, I'll probably get so excited I'll probably smurf myself!!" lol

I like the default one as well. Thanks Klockster.

I don't really know. I chose PKICentral because I like the new look and I do kind of like PKIUnlimited because threads can sometimes go way off track, but sometimes it's funny too.

Yeah, but is it any more meaningful than King Kobra? Or Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal? Or, any other ride that has been removed? Of course not. There are several defunct rides that I feel should never have removed. But, I didn't start petitioning or whining about it. Move on. Life is too short to be that focused on something that insignificant.

I am predicting no coaster for 2006 unless it is a kiddie coaster.

I agree with all the helpful ways to ride SOB. My only problem with that is, shouldn't you be able to ride a coaster without having to ride it defensively? To me, that takes some of the fun out of it. Not to mention those awful trains that constantly shift back and forth. Also, it would be a good idea to get an MRI done afterwards.

How do you switch skins so I can see the others? Thanks, PKIBeast
