pkiboy Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 i have a feeling that rivertown will be very crowded on the 20th . so if i get to go i might wait a while before i go over there. And I have a feeling that the whole park may have a crowd on the 20th. Who knows we will all find out on the 20th . Oh and a little bird told me that some of the rides will be testing soon. Quote
ZosoBeast Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 your birdie is a little late with that info since we have pics on the site of a ride already testing! Quote
Beast1979 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 ^True that, can't wait! OMG I can't wait. I will DEFINATELY spend at least 30 minutes taking Photo's in Rivertown. Quote
pkiboy Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 your birdie is a little late with that info since we have pics on the site of a ride already testing! I ment Coasters not Kiddie rides Jeeze . Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 You have a problem with people who like kiddie rides, (pki)boy? Terpy, known for riding kiddie whips and even kiddie wooden coasters....without a kiddie even... Quote
Beast1979 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I love Kiddie Rides! They're great escapes from the real thrills, (which enjoy also ) Quote
KIBeast Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 And I STILL Never understand any of you're little hints. Can you give me a better one, or PM a REALLY obvious one? In a word...no. There is a reason those who may know things do....it's called keeping things in confidence and having credibility. Keep your enthusiasm, though! Too bad Lance from Screamscape doesn't know a whole lot about credibility or keeping things in confidence. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I submit that Screamscape has its own role to play in this process. Sometimes parks want something on the street....and sometimes they have even been known to float trial balloons. Were it not for Screamscape and other similar sites, several changes might well have been made to numerous parks that eventually were not. There is a reason. And just because Screamscape says something is about to happen, then it does not, does NOT mean Screamscape was wrong in the first place. Things change. Budgets change. Second thoughts happen. Reactions are heard. It's not as simple as Roller Coaster Tycoon. Not even close. Quote
Vortex Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 The Coney midway's looking like my dad's driveway: hope they resurface it soon... [edit] the midway~dad can resurface his own driveway Where is Cinnabon being built? Yeah Coney Mall midway has been looking bad from 1989 to now. Yes I know it would cost a lot to fix it and replant all the flowers and trees. The new coaster will have to wow me before I get a 2009 season pass. Quote
KIBeast Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 You think he was smart in releasing the layout of Maverick before CP made the announcement? They were pretty upset from what I understand. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Nope...I agree....that wasn't exactly a move in his long term best interest...unless, of course, the park feigned its displeasure, which I highly doubt. Quote

Boy, the world is cruel!!! Quote
KIBeast Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I do agree about the confidence thing though. I'm sure parks would like to just throw ideas out there to get reactions. My only problem with that being that I would think the majority of readers of that site would be coaster enthusiasts...meaning they are not in the majority. Unless I'm wrong about who his readers are. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 You think he was smart in releasing the layout of Maverick before CP made the announcement? They were pretty upset from what I understand. I'd have to disagree. I think that it was very prudent for him to release the layout. He had access to the information and posted it. I think that it was further proof that Screamscape is a valuable source of information for park enthusiasts. Quote
OriginolleY Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I Have never been to opening day and i was wondering how crowded is it usually? I will be there on the 20th this year, and i keep telling my boss about it, and he laughs at me becasue of how much i talk about KI. I love the park, and i cant wait till the 20th!! Hope to see you all there!! I'm so stoaked! Quote

When you take several shots at several fish in the proverbial barrel, you tend to hit one now and again. IMO, it barely raises his credibility, if there was any to begin with. Quote

When They have that kind of information, unless told not to I say go ahead and let the world know! I think it's wonderful to have knowladge in rumors, even if they are, Just Rumors! Quote
marcia Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Dear friends Can't wait for the the new season to come soon I wish it would come sooner. Take dare God bless see you at the park Marcia Quote
DropZone99 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I want every thing new at the park (construction, paint jobs, ect...) to be a surprise to me so ill stop getting on KIC for a week or two once it comes to April 19th. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I don't know how smart an idea that is...things come up at the last minute that could greatly affect your enjoyment of the park. Plus, it is unlikely anything of great import that you won't find out about before the park opens anyway will leak until April 19...the day of the private event.... Quote

Well, seems he only has a credibility issue with very vocal few. Seems to have quite a following from what I can tell. Even the folk that like to complain about Screamscape seem to check it out.

Even the folk that like to complain about Screamscape seem to check it out. We also would read JacksonPKI's posts... And I don't have to go into detail about what that meant. Seriously though, what Lance did by posting the info on Maverick was nothing different than the employee that hopped a fence and took pics of the construction of Swan Lake. They both new that the information was privledged, but chose to post it anyway. Quote

Some folk were just brutal to him/her! Quote
DropZone99 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I think he died. Just kidding, maybe he was banned? I don't know. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 How many folk are banned or suspended? I'm sure there have to be a few. We've had a few real jerks in here from time to time. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Heyyo... Don was kind enough to send me some photos of The Racer, having had some track work done. Check 'em out: http://www.KICentral.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=214 Quote
DropZone99 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Awesome pics! Any work about Recar being turned forwards? Quote
derek9312 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 recaR at this point will not be turned forward Quote
