their wavepool is already huge, yes, its very full, but its still big. i believe when it opened it was one of the [if not the] biggest in the midwest? correct me if im wrong. I doubt theyd add on to, or make a new, wavepool. They will probably add some theming for whatever its theme is, but i doubt there'll be wavepool changes. I'm looking forward to the waterpark even though i hate waterparks This is mainly because i love to see a different view when i come to PKI. Just seeing a bunch of new water additions would be cool, to see something new on the park i know so well.

if people arent getting hurt on the launch on dragster, mean streak at Cedar Point [which sounds horrible when riding and is rougher than sob], X flight with all that flipping [sick], tr:tr when it breaks down and keeps spinning, raging wolf bobs [which is too rough], etc,i dont think theyll get hurt on SOB WHY do you people all complain? It's a fast wooden coaster, it's not that rough really. I love it personally. MAybe if you have a crippled body and get hurt easily you think its rough, or maybe your just weak and need your nice little smooth rides. SOB was its roughest around last year, and now its getting better

there are no six flags reviews because i have been busy redesigning the site. The first design sucked. Honestly. Horrible. And i have only been to 1 six flags park which is WOA, but we just got a new staff member whos been to SFMM, SFKK, SFOG, and some other stuff. But since no sites besides PKIU affilliates can be talked about; just visit it nuff said new design up =wednesday
-
yea i really need one of those too. You could always register an email address it takes like 1 minute www.hotmail.com and its free. i would really like it for clips on some of my sites my email: murph@ownagez.com

ty and i realize it will be deleted , but why not post it anyway!
-
ok i got my new site up =) it doesnt compare with PKIU but i think its descent
-
top thrill dragster was by far my favorite, best 15 seconds ever, but for flat rides Delirium is my fav
-
all their coasters are 99% open except TTD, and TTD is a new ride and has hydrolic contaminent, TR:TR had problems too, and even Delirium had a piece of floor getting stuck. Over the winter it will be fixed. Dont try and diss CP, you cant convince any coaster lover KI is better
-
well, if CF bought PKI i personally think it would own. CF would change it to complete coasters, not family park. Thats good for me
-
Well i guess this is a no brainer......
-
i doubt PKI would sell. CF would have to offer many years worth of KI's profit for them to do anything even possibly. They make money every year, why give it up for 1 payment. Also, all that time and effort and CP would probably have to rename and retheme rides of paramount theme

SOB goes down the hill, then starts i giant circle helix, then goes down, loops, helix again, over, pretty much. Not that great airtime, just a fast hill and a loop. Now for Dragster: launch to 120 mph on the worlds tallest/fastest coaster and home of the best 15 seconds of my life. Feel like you will derail just from the speed as you go straight up into the sky, look at MF way below and go down. I would rather wait 2 hours for TTD then 20 minutes for SoB. Especially when i rode 4 times in a half hour for TTD =D Rollbacks are your friend Ride backwards and get a free walk on pass for later Also, i think just seeing all the excitement for Dragster and MF, the people cheering as they get off, all of that, the stuff PKI doesnt have, boosts up the fun in CP. When you stand at the entrance 4 hours for Dragster when its closed, and see it make it over the hill the 3rd test, and the whole park which was in the line that made it past the sky ride yelling like mad, you feel happy. Then you ride it. You feel very very happy. Go to KI, and none of that happens. Yes they had world class once, Vortex and Beast were definetly like Dragster and MF in CP. But, nothing like this has happened recently?
-
i dont think theyll be going world class any time soon. And i doubt anything comparing to CP will come soon either. CP hasnt destroyed themselves at all, their rides take up so little space, like Millennium and Dragster, mill. goes over everything and dragster is small. Besides, are you suggesting they shouldnt have built that many coasters? Then what would be special about it and how would they be successful? also PKI's coaster quality isnt half as good as CP's in my opinion. Son of Beast isnt very special, its mostly going in giant circles. Beast is nice, the trim braking hurt it some though, and it still doesnt compete with a major CP coaster. Wicked Twister > Face Off. KI has better flat rides, but they dont attract near as much of a crowd. FoF is ok, still not comparing to raptor. The one ride they have that not many parks have is Vortex. You dont see a regular steel that big [looping]. Still, CP still has Dragster and Millennium and raptor which havent been compared with anything at KI. Even Mantis and Wicked Twister... Cedar Point wants admission from coaster lovers, PKI is the family park. Thats how it is, and you should definetly not say probably worlds best, or even Yep they will for that matter. You dont know anything, and theres absolutely no sign it will happen. They havent dont anything in a while, yes, but just because you want it doesnt mean it iwll happen. I still think theyll build a steel, but an overall descent one, not world class
-
they may be in competition with CP, but CP seems sooo much more crowded. I just got back today from CP, and just dragster has more people then all the ki coaster lines added up...and CP is so much more fun...too bad they wont build a dragster kind of ride, personnally that was the best ride ever by far. And so much excitement around it, even when its broke down theres hundreds who lay there all day [me being one of them]. I wish KI would have that excitement...who knows
-
yes, pki did say in the paper they were losing lots of business and they blame it on the rainy days. But theyve had alot of attendance lately
-
I chose Vortex, adding the length of the line to my opinion. When the park is packed, Vortex is usually 20 minutes or less, and i LOVE the airtime on the corkscrews and if you make your restraints loose the airtime on the first hill.
-
5 1/2 hours for FoF opening day. Nothing much compared to 7 hours for Dragster opening at CP
-
I guess it is possible i just got my foot in there wrong and closed the lapbar and that prevented me from getting it right =/ Probably because ive never had that happen before. As for the make sure ur bar ir tight early, i would agree on rides like FoF. But on Vortex having them slightly loose gives nice airtime on the hill, and it never pushes down.
-
i would have to agree. When i said it was a hypercoaster, that was a mere guess, but when i say it i mean just an overall fast-long ride. Im hoping for a floorless or something like that, but i doubt pki would be up to that. But i definetly dont expect a record breaker. Just an average coaster, agreed. Thats usually what comes from ki
-
why are the lights always on now? Also, WATCH OUT for the right front seat on the trains. Im not exactly sure if its all of them or one, but ive never seen it until now. Theres this bar that doesnt look temporary that is in the way of where your right foot should go on the righthand side. It makes ur foot hurt ... Anyone know about this either?
-
well it was boring but i rode it anyway---i got 4000. The trick is to put ur a finger at a certain angle, cuz, unlike most games, theres not much of a limit to the rate u shoot. So for me u heard like thousands of shots going off constantly. But, i question workers for every possible thing to get rumors and stuff, and one said he'd soon a 6000 and something, thats the highest he has seen.
-
actually, i have a little rumor of my own that i know exactly where the coaster will be. I have been looking for this alot, seeing that most sites say it will be near racer. The area right behind those swinging chairs things are being cleared. There used to be some pay motion simulators there, and the Fearfest maze or whatever. Now the simulators are gone and theres a wall with a door that says "No admittace" which i know is usual. But, i looked closely at it and see workers and occassional people in hard hats going in. Usually its people in suits. Now, i tried peeking in and see alot of dirt and it seems an area is cleared. Theres nothing in construction obviously, but it seems they may be tearing down that barn as well. So, if its supposed to be near racer, that place has a good amount of space and could very well be the spot. Think about it, Millennium Force and Dragster at Cedar Point are sweet, but they take up little space and go over everything. Hypercoasters dont tend to take a large area of land. I'm convinced ones coming next year. They definetly need a tourism boost anyway. ...also if this ends up being the spot i will brag so much lol. www.screamscape.com

ok! ive heard a bunch of rumors that are, as they are called, complete and utter RUMORS. Things people made up completely. Let me explain how smart screamscape is.: A. Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster was announced to me on screamscape a year before it opened, with all its specs, company involved, name of ride, location, and cost. B. Delirium was announced to me a year early as well, with even COLORS told of the ride. ---many others of this sort are announced--- The ppl at this site ask questions to workers at parks all over the country, as well as coaster design companies. There is no rumor this place doesnt have. K.I. is rumored to build a B&M hypercoaster for 2004. Theyre in much connection with B&M on this project. It is supposed to be in Coney Mall, yes. Near racers probably. Ive heard of a REVENGE OF BEAST rumor. Seriously people, do you really think they are gona make ANOTHER beast? Not after the sue and stuff with Son of Beast. They have plenty of those anyway. I was personally hoping for a flying coaster, but seeing that its supposed to be a hyper coaster, it wont unless that rumor is wrong. Unfortunately i dont have the exact link to the PKI rumors, but www.screamscape.com , news & rumors, find PKI Coaster PRoject 2004 near the bottom, and scroll through the paramount parks till pki.
