Ok. I am an extra large and I really couldn't care less about the avatars. That will probably drive up the cost anyway. I say do it as inexpensively as possible. Polos or T-shirts are fine with me.

A pronto pup is the same thing as a corn dog. I believe that originally, corn dogs were called pronto pups. It may be a regional thing too. Not 100% sure. Hillbilly Hot Dogs are awesome! You'll have to give 'em a try. There are so many different varieties. If you sing the Hillbilly Hot Dogs song, you get a dog for free. The song is listed on their menus.

Scooby, here is the thread discussing the PKIC day. PKIC Day 2007!

Don't know if it's true or not, but some are saying that this is nearly identical to the one dive machine in Florida. Other than it is floorless and seems to have two immelmans instead of one.

^Yeah, I think the Philadelphia Eagles will come back again this year too! Oh, you meant the flying eagles. My bad.

I'm definitely getting the maxx pass. Especially now that PKIC day is going to involve all three Ohio parks. I will probably visit all three separately outside of that trip, so it will be well worth the $124.95.

I don't see any more parks investing in another S&S launched coaster. Dodonpa was the last one built in Japan and that was years ago. I have heard that the launch is the only thing good about it. Too short (length), the drop too small, and the hill painful. Doesn't sound like a good coaster to me. And, it seems that Hypersonic has been down more than Top Thrill Dragster.

^Yeah, they have the best pronto pups! Nice pics by the way.

I don't think that it was so much that he was large, but just could not maintain control of his upper body.

^Wow! How insightful! Sorry folks, I liked King Kobra, but I love Mantis. King Kobra was neat in that it was the first stand-up coaster for me, but, after riding Mantis, I never rode it again. Well, I did ride it once becuase I was with my girlfriend and she had never been on it. I would like to see another stand-up at KI. However, those coasters seem to be a thing of the past. There hasn't been one built in years. I believe that combatstupendous told me that the Georgia Scorcher at SFOG was the last to be built. Either him or Interpreter one. They are both very knowledgeable on the industry and KI.

Yeah! I'm with Avatar. But, we are grumpy old Just kidding!

Hey Avatar, I was thinking that our age group was in the minority here.

I really don't care who I room with. I like the second bus company a little better. They seem to offer a little more for the dollar. So, what would be the minimum number that we need to make this trip happen?

I'm liking the changes so far.

I'm going to definitely get the Maxx pass for next year.

I'm not at all surprised that it will be closed for rest of the season. I just hope the problem is solved over the off-season and it will be running next year. I don't care if I get flamed for this, but, Son of Beast is one of my favorite wooden coasters (ducks behind flame retardant wall).

I was the one who mentioned it first, I believe. I was just joking and now somebody else said the same thing. Too funny.

Avatar, I want to thank you and Reon for looking into this for us. This is shaping up to be something really cool. If your figures are relatively close, then that is a pretty good deal. Like I said in a post earlier, we need to have some kind of no cancellation policy (unless there is some extreme duress) so that we don't have a bunch of now shows. Don't know how you guys feel about that one. I just don't want to send money and then have to get a refund if people start cancelling left and right for any reason. I'd like to hear some other people's thoughts on this. I would be ok with four to a room. However, I refuse to bunk with Ryan.

^I agree Tggr! There probably is more to the story. Could be that she is hooked on some kind of drug and was stealing to feed the habit. I won't say that is what it was for sure, but you never know. If it was some kind of drug problem, then there was fear of being caught, but the need was far outweighing the risk involved.

I've been wanting to visit this park. I just haven't read all that many trip reports for it. Yours was really good. Sounds like a trip to DP & WWK may be on the agenda for next year. Providing that the KIC trip doesn't break me! J/K!

^ I see what you mean, Captain. But, if people have to send money to reserve a spot with no cancellations, then people showing up should not be a problem.

Reon, I'll PM you when I am interested in going. I was thinking about September 9th. Let me know what's happening with marching band and if you can go.

^You gotta be joking. I thought that the ride you posted a pic of was a Topple Tower, not a Jump III.

No, I graduated college about six years ago. I am an old fart. But, I still love coasters. Go Herd! So, any more news on costs?

I am interested and I am from Huntington, WV. Reon, are you attending Marshall?
