pki.com changing to visitkingsisland.com?

[PKIVortex]

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.

[Reclaimer]

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 )

to tell you the truth i have barely been on Kings Island official web-site since i found this one

[pkiboy]

Someware Jeff Siebert is crying .

[TOPGUN1993]

Yup LOL!

[The Interpreter]

I doubt it. He's not the kind to make waves over stuff like this...

[flightoffear1996]

Wow what a stupid name.

[PKIVortex]

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.

[pkiboy]

They will what they need is new photos on there sites or link some of the Fanboys websites. GL did that on there website.

[Reclaimer]

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.

[TH13TEEN]

Lets all say good bye to Paramount right now

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?

[Reclaimer]

So, Ryan, is there already a new site design ready to go up or are they just going live with the new domain tonight?

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.

[Reclaimer]

I want to again emphasize that I'm NOT a park spokesperson

When did you leave that position?

LoL... that wasn't for you... that was for those who don't know me.

[PKIVortex]

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.

[King Maple The Tree King]

they should get one of the photographers from this site to do it for them.

[pkiboy]

Actually there is a photo on pki.com. Thats Danes photo.

[BoddaH1994]

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...

[flightoffear1996]

Wow KIC has better photos of the park than the park itsself.

[JacksonPKI]

So, www.pki.com has become www.visitkingsisland.com?

Everyone, Kiss Paramount goodbye.

its always been like that, its a general template for all the former pp, was the same way when it was the paramount template.

Everyone, Kiss Paramount goodbye.

You should have kissed Paramount goodbye back in July of '06.

If you visited the park in July of 06, you'd have never known that Paramount was gone...

[JacksonPKI]

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.

[PKIVortex]

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.

[tigellinus]

The one's I've heard so far are Cincinnati Rush, Cave Spin or Cave Top Spin, Invertigo, and Power Tower
