First off it's whine. I don't "wine". (Dane you should add a "grammar" check) Anyways, something dear got taken away from you? It's not family, it's not your girlfriend (if that's your cup of tea) nor is it your family pet. It's a old ride at PKI. MOVE ON! I only "whine" if I have a good reason, and yes, that would include if something dear was taken away from me. HOWEVER, a ride is not one of them, and if it is for you, I apologize for your sad, simple, and mistaken life. I apologize.

Hello read this WHOLE thread many are like me the flyers were DEAR to them they have certain reasons why they are complaining you worked or work for PKI and thats fine I worked at PKI in 2002 I didn't like it it wasnt my cup of tea as you put it .But the fact is many people are ****ed off because the flyers are gone everytime I was at the park this summer there was a HUGE long line for the flyers which I waited in just to ride a classic fun ride with my nephews in my opinion Paramount is ruining the park move on huh?Nahhh IJ:ST looks fun and all but the fact of the matter is IJ:ST wont be kid friendly thats why I'm complaining I rode that ride when I was little and now my nephews ride it but not anymore what I'm suppose to do? let them stay in HBL & NC all day they don't like doing that. They love Coney Mall (which wont seem like coney without the flyers)

I rode that ride when I was little and now my nephews ride it but not anymore what I'm suppose to do?

You can still ride it all of 2005 with your gold season pass.........just in a different location at Paramount's Carowinds!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day Giggler!

Seriously, folks, it's a done deal. I know it's upsetting, but change happens.

I like them too, yes, but sometimes one has to accept that things will be different in life, and look forward to what is to come.

Eventually, the other memories you make at Kings Island will be incorporated in the memories you have now, and this will not seem as such a big of a deal.

Yep.

It's all good. And it's all LIFE.

your a smart a$$ and Its MR.GigglingGreenGhost to you! not giggler ...There is NOWAY I'm going to Carowinds its outta the question besides I rather spend my summer time off at IOA,Disney World,PKI...and most likely PKD I have my 2005 summer vacation already planned.I agree with PKI_Diana there gone oh well I am sure we can make new memories on IJ:ST!

OH and have a Nice Day

Anyway, Green Ghost, I do feel for you. PKI over the years have taken out many of the flats that I loved as a kid. I said this in an earlier thread. But, never once did I think to try and protest the removal of a ride, even though they removed many of my favorites without replacing them with anything. But, like others have said, you guys need to move on. Enjoy them while they are still there. I guarantee once the Italian Job is operating, you will forget all about the Eagles. I'm sure somewhere down the road more of my favorite rides will be removed, much to my dismay. But, as long as they replace it with something better, I can't really complain.

I found out that Carowinds will not let you snap the Flyers so get you snapping in on the 17th.

WHA? why? PKI let us snap thats the whole point of having fun on the ride.I think carowinds not letting us snap will blow over kinda like when PKI made that rule that you couldn't ride Phantom Theater without a child it wont work out.

Carowinds will place the Flyers in there new childrens area, snapping would scare the hell out of children.

Oh! so are they being rethemed?....do you HAVE to have a child with you to ride the flyers Iam planning a trip late summer 2005 to go there to ride em.

Ha ha...Like I said at that other PKI site, I think its hillairious.

I still fail to see the "hilarity." Any time a park loses a classic flat, it is a reason to take notice. There are some flashy, overpriced rides at the front of the park I'd rather see go.....

Don't count on Carowinds putting them in the kiddy area, this is assumed as the main focus is the kiddy area. However, I am doubting they will be put in the kiddy area. I am betting the Carolina RFD, Carolina Boardwalk, or County Fair. Rumor has it that it will be renamed to "Spirt of Kitty Hawk". Rumor also hs it that I will be there Opening Day flying on BORG and the Eagles almost all day.

There's not a whole lot of fun in the Eagles if you can't snap them RollerNut. Although they are still okay the snapping makes them so much better, so if the rumor is true and Carowinds dosen't allow snapping I don't think the Eagles would be that much fun. Also, when I was at Carowinds I found Top Gun: The Jet Coaster to be a lot more fun than BORG, I don't know a Vekoma flyer just dosen't compare to a B&M flyer.

This whole post is basically :offtopic:

Oh I will have a nice day. At any route Giggler, I was just suggesting for you my friend, you can just as easily go ride Scooters at Carowinds if it is so joyish to your life. So, I was just suggesting that, not being a smartass.

But have a nice day buddy! and everyone else too!

I think something is wrong when the news of the Eagles gets talked about more than the news of getting IJST. If I want to ride a ride that PKI does not have I get in the car and go to a park that has it.

Thank you, Captain Picard. Couldn't have said it better.

Just a thought, but what if we got a group of PKICer's together and took a trip to PC next season to show our love for the ride? Just something to do.

I have never heard of such a Brutal injustice!....that I care nothing about! I never rode the flyers being the coward that Iam I never rode them because I was to scared.Besides come 2005 I'm gonna be having a blast on IJST!

Carowinds will place the Flyers in there new childrens area, snapping would scare the hell out of children.

OK, so? kids get scared of snapping as it is. If i get to PCaro next year, i'm going to snap. I'll probly be the only one doing it though.

And getting kicked off....

One last look back.

dead link dude...

Kicked off? I strongly doubt they would do that.

Probably give you some type of bull crap warning.

I think the entire thing of no snapping is bull. Why would you put a ride that most kids would not ride in a Childrens Area!!!!

Haha I noticed that too. And to add onto what Knoxville said, they can kick you off the ride. I have heard stories of people that have gone to different parks and getting the ride E-Stopped on them.

Flyers

Yeah like GigglingGreenGhost said that link doesn't work.

Well I will be there all day with Bill, I'll see you guys there when you get your cake.

I was there all day at pki (at Duhlee/SS), but I didn't see any pkicer there.

Dane and I spent the ENTIRE day riding the flyers. We left the park for about an hour to grab some Chipotle, but then it was back to the flyers to end the day. I am sure a good size update will be heading to the site soon.
