PKIVortex Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 If you go to visitkingsisland.com it also works to get on Kings Island's Website. Also if you call 1-800-288-0808 they still say pki.com on the opening greeting, but if you go to season pass information by pressing 2 or ticket prices/park hours of operation by pressing 3 is says to visit our website at visitkingsisland.com. I guess we won't hear pki.com for very much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Wow! Great find! (I also used this opportunity to hear Jeff Siebert's voice, and his spiel for the 2005 season at "Paramount's Kings Island, Where the best of Hollywood entertainment is now playing!" Oh boy! 2005 sounds like a blast! ) edit: It's probably been like this for awhile, but I've never clicked the link as I've never been interested in anything Group Sales, but I just accidentally clicked the Group Sales link on the main page and was surprised to see a completely different looking site. Check it out http://www2.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/grou...es/default.html ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 The group sales page as looked like that all season pretty much. Maybe more pages like that may be in store? They need to completely redo all of the old Paramount Park pages anyway. But they probably won't cause of $$$ issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiboy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 They will what they need is new photos on there sites or link some of the Fanboys websites. GL did that on there website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Honestly, we probably will be seeing a redesign this off-season. There is a Facebook group called "Making Cedar Fair's Websites Just a Bit Better" at http://bsu.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14514930513 Basically, the web designer, Jeff, is looking for input on what people want to see on Cedar Fair's sites.

I guess we won't hear pki.com for very much longer. ha... I was wondering how long it would be before this got out. The official changeover isn't until tonight. PKI.com will forward to VisitKingsIsland.com for several years, however make sure you change any Kings Island email addresses to @visitKingsIsland.com in your address books, because the email will only forward to the new addresses for a few months. PKIVortex, how did you hear about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 So, Ryan, is there already a new site design ready to go up or are they just going live with the new domain tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to again emphasize that I'm NOT a park spokesperson, but from what I understand, the layout won't be changing tonight. I'm not sure of that, but that's what I've heard.

PKIVortex Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I found out by calling 1-800-288-0808, I was wondering when they were going to update the phone line system, I'm such a KI dork I call from time to time to listen to the recordings. I was hoping they would update when the park would open in 2008, but no such luck yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 There's a story behind that... Way back a year ago when Kings Island first decided to remove Son of Beast's loop, Kings Island's marketing communications manager at the time, and my very good friend, Maureen Kaiser (now Richmond) called me and said that KI didn't have any photos of Son of Beast that didn't have the loop in them, and asked to use some photos on KIC for PKI.com (now visitKingsisland.com). I told her sure. I never said it was a good story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacksonPKI Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 If you Visited the Park NOW, the only hint would be the Missing sign and Cedar Fair Trash Cans. $20 says Next year half the rides will have new names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Flight Deck anyone? Hollywood Stunt Track perhaps too. I have no idea if these names will be used, but these are a few I've heard thrown around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The one's I've heard so far are Cincinnati Rush, Cave Spin or Cave Top Spin, Invertigo, and Power Tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
