LOl um, yeah The Vortex restraints DO click, because i remember my girlfriend and i counting how many clicks it took to get us al the way in, and tight, so yeah they click, but not very loudly. don't think seat bults would be nessesary but maybe a belt the connects to the restraint like on Face/Off i would like that, and it would be much differant.

Hey remember everyone this is one tonight at 6 pm!!!!

What was the forum about The Italian Job?
PKICoasterFreek replied to PKICoasterFreek's topic in Coming Attractions
Thanks for the clear up then, i was soooo lost -
I personally like the PGA sign its pretty modern looking and hopefully we won't have to get a new sign anytime soon so lets make it look like it could be in the future. It also looks like it has a movie sorta theme too.

I was reading something yesterday i think it was about a forum that had something to do with the movie Italian Job, i was wondering if i was missing some vidal news or was it just idea. If it was, I think it would a great idea for a coaster, but could someonehelp me fil in this "gap"?
-
Italian Job, wait a second, am i missing something, how did we even get onto the subject of having a rollerocaster named Italian Job? but if there is on, i would have to say that it would be in the Action Zone, because it has to do alot with the movie and there is alot of action in the movie s it would fit very well, the only think it....i don't think there is too much room to squeeze anything else in the AZ.... Coaster Freek

I know for a fact that you could never build a rollercoaster in close to a month, there is no chance, be see what i am talking about it that i think sometime later in the month they are goingto announce a coaster we are goingto recieve for the 2005 season. So i hope it is coming soon!!! The message I mean
-
Well then thanks thats a HUGE plus then, i might actually get to do something with everyone
-
So we are meeting on April 9th correct? If that is the fact, I will be in Florida at my beach house, so I will not be able to attend(not like anyone cares),do you think we could try doing in sometime over the summer? there are some benifit going duringthe summer, warmer weather, Boomerang Bay will be open!!!!! Just a thought

I am so excited, the 2004 season is almost here! The more i read about the top the more i want the season to start, and i know Aaron and the staff put up a few articles recently, which are really cool to read. But I was reading and i read at the bottom of the seation about the article on the main page it says something similar to this, "This has to be the surprise, or at least part of it". So i began to think, about what, i think most of us are hoping for, a coaster of course, but i was wondering more is about when and what they are going to say next. I hope and think things around PKI could start to take off in a couple of weeks,things are booming right now at PKI, no doub on that one, but if there is in fact a coaster or new park attraction coming, i think things are gonna be wild!!! CoasterFreek I hope something is said soon, if anything.......my nerves can't take much more!!!

Hey everone, My screen names are ChaosSoccerGuy07 or HSECoasterGuy814, both i use, so i am looking forward to talking!!!

I would have to say, "yes after my favorite rides", i have never been really that huge of a waterpark fan. I LOVE to swim but just never really picked up on the whole WaterWorks buzz. But with BB coming, i think there might actually be a buzz coming on, it looks really fun from what the picture are showing. So who knows, what do you think?
-
One thing is true, the sign has been there for quite some time....and it does look sorta strange with out a sign there. But, did you ever think about this,...A sign fell down during a bad thunder storm.....good thing it wasn't a ride, then there would be something to conplain about. Though having a ride be destroyed by a thunder storm is unlikey(excluding tornados and severe lightning). I do not know for sure whether of not there was infact a tornado there on that night or early morning, some one else can help you with that, but lets just be glad it was just a sign. Heck, maybe PKI will put up one of the new modern signs that are almost like t.v.'s, YES, expensive, but, hey, it COULD happen. Go to Las Vegas...they have everysign amaginable ! LOL

Geez! I have ridden the Manhatten Express tons of times and it doesn't hurt at all! I don't know the guy but, i think he either was very afraid(the ride extremely tame) or he is a coaster phobe, cause it is not the bad at all, and someone need to wash there mouth out with some stronge soap.If i ever said things like that, i would get slapped up side the head. Manhatten Express is in no reason a bad coaster, and is NOT rough at all. The only thing that might hurt on you after the ride has ended is maybe your shoulder because the hang out upside down for a couple of seconds on the "Twist and Dive" section of the ride, but thats about it. Its really a great ride.
-
PKI from the pictures, is looking really good, i can't wait to actually see the park in real life after a "long" 5 months coming this spring. Though seeing the seats for Delirium sitting on the ground along with about every other car, chair, or gondola ready for resembling made me sorry sad, but anyways yeah. I think it is going to be a great 2004 season! And just think, only a little while more to wait!!!!!

How Exactly is a Wooden Coaster Built?( Arch)
PKICoasterFreek replied to PKICoasterFreek's topic in Kings Island
Fisrt of all, Architects and Engineers are pretty much the same thing, ( my dad is an acrhitectural engineer...........) Architects have tons to do with the building and designing of the coaster. What do people, take a piece of wood and a box of bolt and just throw um up......I don't thinks so! There is tons of plannig involved with it, there is excavation, pouring footers, contractors, and a whole bunch of other inportant processes, but what i am looking for are the steps of building and designing a coaster. Thanks for the help! PKICoasterFreek -
How exactly is a wooden Rollercoaster produced? i mean, well, beisde the obvious ( wood and bolts) like what are some of the processes a park has to go though to buy, built, and run, a new coaster. this is for a school project, (design processes class and business project). So your comments will be very helpful! This isn't just for the profect but, i think it will be very cool to know too. I would like to have an architects "point of view", if possible. Thanks for yours help! PKICoasterFreek

Wow, it was long but gave me a ton of cool info to share with my friends tomorrow at school..... anyways! I bet the tour was really cool, sounded cool. I wasn't able to go to PKI today, bummer! But I really am starting to think about what PKI has up their sleaves for next March!!! I personally can't wait!!
-
what ride would you most want to see PKI get?
PKICoasterFreek replied to monkeyman's topic in KI Polls
If i rmember right...LOL ...... Son of Beast is a Full-sized coaster and it is a complete curcuit? Right! I thought So! But you are right PKI is over-due on the new coaster!! Let's hope it's something big and new! -
I really think that is is sorta sad that some person can be called a coaster enthusiest when they try to do something insane......well she succeeded! Not only did she hurt the coaster world but she gave a perfectly good park a death record. NOT GOOD! She obviously wasn't a coaster enthusiest becuase if she was a coaster enthusiest she wouldn't be that stupid and try something that she would have known that it could have gotten herself killed, and once again she did kill herself!! Sadly, yes she did get killed but still , people com'n don't be stupid, Riding coasters is previlage not a right,lol, and it is a battle that you don't even want to start, because G forces steal and wood aremost of the time stronger than a human body, and so is the ground, so JUST DON'T TRY SOMETHING STUPID...THE END!
-
Ok, first of all "better" is an opinion word, it doesn't matter when someone uses " better becuase it wha they think!! See exactly we both have our ideas of would would be cool or "better", an yes you are right, SoB is a great ride, but i must differ with you on the pert where you said" SoB and Beast are almost exacly alike. SoB is a heck off a lot taller, it's faster, and it has more the one helix and the worlds only wooden loop, so I don't exactly think using " alike" in discribing the relationship between SoB and Beast.
-
SoB should definantly have tunnel some where! I has to! You know how most children look pretty alike to the parent? Well, SoB must be adopted, because he doen't look too much like Beast. SoN needs to have some charatureistics of Beast and Tunnels would be the easiest thing to do. Let's Give SoB a piece of the genetic code!! And help him in the heriditary problems!! LOL
-
I really woud like to see some tunnel put on SoN so it ill add some mystery to the ride, becuase it's not as fun if you can see whats comin next on it. The tunnel are one of the best parts on Beast, in my opinion. Some places to put the tunnels, defiantly on he big helixs and at the bottem of the drop and maybe a couple of other places. What do you think?
-
Okay, there is perfect evedience in front of everyone! Next time your at PKI ride SoB and look at ALL of the helixs and turn arounds. Look and tell me what you find on helix. Yep, there are cable attached to the stucture to keep it from moving away when the train passes. The cable go from the center of the helix on the ground to the wooden structure around it to help control the massive amounts of stress the train puts on it. There fore the structure must move becuase they just wouldn't put them there for decoration!! LOL and if they weren't there the track and surrounding structure would crumble and fall over, so good thing they have them!!

Is it going to be fun you think?
PKICoasterFreek replied to PKICoasterFreek's topic in Coming Attractions
