PKI AND PGA'S Boomerang Bays
Does anybody else think that they did a better job with PGA's BB, it is thmed and landscaped better. I know ours already exsited but they still could have done a better job they could have added themeing to the older attractions. Also how much do you think it cost total to build PGA's Boomerang Bay, since they had to buy everything new. Look at the pics before answering. http://www.norcalcoasters.net/news.php?id=0601054 -Jake

Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom-5/28
*=The astrix means the paragraphs. I tried to do paragraphs but it didn't work. *We arrived at the park around 11:00am to a almost empyty parking lot. *We decided to ride Hellavator first, it's line was at the entrance but none of the turnstiles were open. Ofcourse one of the sides was not operating. The line moved fairly quickly and when we were almost there it brokedown. The things that pull the cars up did not return. They started to come down very slowly and then they had to do a test run. We were then let on they checked our restrainsts but nothing happened. The ride operator kept on gowing around the tower pressing the buttons. I think the buttons tell the ride that that side is ready? It then started and then just above the breaks it just stopped. We sat for a minute and we were brought back up. They tried it again but we barley got above the tarp that circles the tower. When they brought us odown they told us it was down and we had to leave. *After that we went to Roadrunner Express. It's line was also out to the sign but we were up to the ride in no time. They only had three or four cars running. The ride was good, I just hate all of those breaks, they are turned on so hard and they hurt. *We then went to Greezed' Lightin' it had no wait. I really like this coaster and going backwards thourgh the loop is my favorite part. We rode this this coaster two times. *We then rode the Enterprise, it isn't my favorite ride. I don't mind riding it everynow and then. *We then went to the Thrill Park Theater to ride Stargate. I rode this once before and I did not like it. It is the only simulater that I have to close my eyes on. *Before we crossed the bridge we rode the Rainbow, these rides are great for airtime if you don't want to ride a coaster. *The next ride was Chang, it is my favorite stand up coaster. Today though it was a little rough and instead of my legs hurting it was my head. *The Chaos was actually really fun, where I was riding by myself I flipped tons of times. They were only loading every other car, there were more than enogh people to fill up every car. *T2 has never been as rough and jerky with me riding as it was today. I normally want to ride it more than once, but not today. *Next was going to be Penguin Blizzard but it had a really long line. So we walked the trail to Twisted Twins that has nothing on it but pay per ride dragsters. *Twisted Twins was great we rode the green one time and the pink twice. I don't remeber there names cause the sign that said them is gone. The pink side seems a lot faster and more fun. *Mile High Falls was next and it was great. It get you soaked and is a lot better than Congo Falls at PKI. We rode it four times, three times we rode with theses guys that were trying to get people in the boat so we could have a full boat. The ride operators didn't make us go out of line and get back in it. On the fourth time it broke down and we got an exit pass. *We used our exit pass on Thunder Run it's line was so long. Not only with it having one train, but now they check the seatbelts for the whole train. Then they check the bars, tis makes dispathing like 5 to 7 minutes long. We were really glad we got the exit pass and used it on this. *After that we went to Hellavator and rode it twice, both rides were really good. After that we left it was like 9:30pm they were only open for another 30 minutes. *We left fter a pretty good day at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, I still will take PKI over it anyday though.

New Wood Coaster
If PKI put in a wood coaster next year or in the coming years, which company would you want to design it. Also just for fun what would you want them to name it. -Jake I forgot to put S&S Power, but I don't know how to change it.

5/21
I didn't notice any mist in the tunnel scene this weekend. Also I noticed that the cop cars turn on I guess when the train passes a sensor and then they turn off. I remeber from the video in April they ran continousely. I also got my Gold Pass, since we ordered ares on the internet we got to skip the long line and go down some stairs to some pass picture area. We also got the season pass cupp. This was just some things I for got. -Jake

5/21
I got there around 1:00 for my first trip to PKI this year. When I got in I went straight to Italian Job, it was down. Alos I didn't know you had to have a ride reservation ticket to ride. So I went to The Beast, it had what looked to be a long line. All the turnstiles were open even the ones in the station but we only waited for 30 minutes. It was a good ride, it seemed a little faster than normal. The brakes in the shed eithier were not on or were not on hard. Next I went to Racer but it had a long wait so I skipped it and went to Son of Beast. We had to wait about 2 hours, mainly because they had two trains but were only loading one train for a little while. This was my firt ride on it and it was rough. The begining was great really smooth and then we went into the rose bowl and that is where the pain began. After that I had a little headache, but nothing big. Next we went to Scooby Doo's Haunted Mansion, Igot 1,110 points not my best. Then I went back to Delirium, I love this ride. We got on pretty fast considering we started out in the midway waiting for it. I got to sit in seat 6 a seat I have never been in. My ride was great and I am glad I rode it. Next it was time to ride IJST. We only waited one train load to ride. The launch was a lot more powerful than I was expecting, and though helixes have some powerful forces. The helicopter scene was awsome, it was way better than I was figuring it would be. Also I love the tunnel cause you have no idea where you are going. Overall this ride is one of the best I think. I do wish it was alittle bit longer. They said they will be doing the reservation tickets till June 6, this is to help move the lines along. After that I rode TRTR it was great as usual, I loved it. I might be crazy but I tthink there is an extra flip. I rode IJST again, thi time in the dark. The dark really shows off the helicopter scene, I also love the tail and head lights. Then for my last ride Son of Beast, it was a lot smoother this time. Today PKI was packed, the lines were horribly long. It was busier than some summer days at the park. I can't wait till I go back in a couple weeks. Thank You for reading, Jake ***Also while riding Delirium I noticed the Antique Cars, cars behind Slingshot and besides Delirium. They are in that field next two both of those rides.***

IJST lines won't be long till sometime in June. I was there yesterday and they have it where you have to get a ride reservation ticket. They said it was to make the lines shorter, they said it would end June 6. -Jake

PKI Bracelets
I think PKICentral should make PKI bracelets like the Live Strong bracelets. The could sy "Paramount's Kings Island" It is just an idea, where can you go to get customized bracelets, I have seen schools make them. -Jake
