Young Gunz Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Hey, I just found out about the Flyers going to Carowinds. I heard from a semi-reliable source that the Scrambler is going there too. I know it has been disassembled now, just like it is for every Fearfest, so that's not what it's based off of. Does anyone have any information on this? Quote
ZosoBeast Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 From yesterdays Cincinnati Enquirer..... "The park is not planning to remove any other rides for the new ride, spokeswoman Maureen Kaiser said Monday." So I highly doubt it. Although I would be perfectly happy if they took THAT and put the Eagles in that spot. But oh well. Ever Onward.... Quote
coasterville Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 No cause for alarm, as Carowinds already has a Scrambler "Kaleidoscope" or some such clever name. It's an outdoor machine, depsite what the name might hint. What I m surprised about is as of Oct 2, the Scrambler was only partially disasembled, usually the park has used that area for the House of Darkness line. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 As with last year, the park has dismanteled part of the Scrambler to get a head start on the winter maintenance. It is not leaving PKI. I too find it odd that they had only removed the cars and not any of the supports for the ride and were only using the Scrambler`s queue and not the ride area like last year, for the line for House of Darkness.

BoddaH1994 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 True, usually they remove everything but the base. I don't know why it was done differently this year. Then again, Maurine said, "The park is not planning to remove any other rides for the new ride". So they could remove anything else they wanted in all reality. I'd hate to see the Scrambler go too.

PKIDelirium Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Yeah, I like that Scrambler, and it'l newly painted too! Quote
Delirium13 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 I don't think The Scrambler is going anywhere. Quote
Vortex Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 all the Paramount Parks have a Scrambler so I just think they took it down for the season. Quote
Screwball Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 all the Paramount Parks have a Scrambler so I just think they took it down for the season. I am not sure about the other Paramount Parks, but Paramout Canada's Wonderland does not have a Scrambler. Quote
Vortexlover2 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 yeah... it doesn't! I've been to the website atleast 150 times, so I should know. Quote
Vortex Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 yeah... it doesn't! I've been to the website atleast 150 times, so I should know. The web site does not list all of the rides. Its great you been to the web site but has anyone been to the park? I think PCW had a Scrambler at one time. I don't know myself I have not been to PCW before. Quote

Its great you been to the web site but has anyone been to the park? I think PCW had a Scrambler at one time. I don't know myself I have not been to PCW before. I'm a season passholder at PCW, I am at the park over 20 times per season, and trust me there isn't a scrambler there. Whether there was at some point, not that I remember. I'm 20 now and have been going since my early childhood, and I don't ever recall seeing one at Wonderland. I know SFDL does have one however. Quote
Knoxville Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I don't see it going, but I have been surprised before. Quote
Here_is_Trouble! Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I don't see it going.. But I could be wrong. Quote
Pirate of PKI Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 I don't think the Scrambler will go out soon, but I think it will be one of the rides that will go next, along with Swinging Chairs. They just never seem to get the attention they used to. Quote
fallingspring Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 As with last year, the park has dismanteled part of the Scrambler to get a head start on the winter maintenance. It is not leaving PKI. I too find it odd that they had only removed the cars and not any of the supports for the ride and were only using the Scrambler`s queue and not the ride area like last year, for the line for House of Darkness. The reason they took so much of the scrambler apart last year is because the entire ride got painted, It didnt this year. The ride area was used for the line of the haunted house this year as well. It was in my ride grouping before they shut it down. Quote
italianchef Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I am most certain that the scrambler will return in 2005. Have a great off season! Italian Chef Quote
Alien Seed Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Why get rid of it? Do we want them to bring back Eurobungee or something to replace it? Quote
Pirate of PKI Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I'm sure it will return in 2005 as well but if they are looking to take out another flat ride I would say it would be one of them. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Of course it will be back, they just painted it! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 True, they just painted the Scrambler this season. But remember that they painted King Cobra in 1999 and it was removed after the 2001 season. Although I douobt Scrambler is a maintenance problem like King Cobra was. Quote
pkifreak Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Over the past couple of years, the scrambler has been getting a filled que line. The scrambler attracts many differnt age groups, and is a family fav. So i dont think it will be leaving any time soon. Quote
Darren Mullins Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 The Scrambler isn't going anywhere, in fact, according to one of the owners of Stricker's Grove, the state of Ohio ordered modifications to be made to update all Scramblers in the state. I forget the modifications that were required, but PKI refurbished their scrambler after last season. It isn't going any where. It usually has a pretty decent line and compared to rides like the Eagles and Drop Zone, it is somewhat of a high capacity ride. Quote

CoastersRZ Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I do know that PKI added seatbelts to their Scrambler a couple of years ago after someone was killed on a Scrambler because they stood up and were thrown from their car, and then killed when other cars hit them. However, having worked at Coney island on their Scrambler numerous times this past season, Coney`s does not have seatbelts, and has not had any modifications the entire time I worked at Coney (2002-2004). I`m assuming the seatbelt issue was a PKI decision, probably based on part on insurance, and not a madate by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Rides Safety Division. Quote
KIBeast Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Well, here comes the Save the Scrambler campaign. Who's going to make up the t-shirts? Quote
darkevil13 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah, I like that Scrambler, and it'l newly painted too! you know what the scrambler was a ***** to work at this summer because of the new pant made the sun reflect right in my eyes. if they paint it blue and green or any other color besides yellow.

I dont think its going anywhere but as someone said earlier, take scrambler so we can have the eagles back but o well Quote
HabloRM Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Eagles aren't coming back. Scrambler is staying! Quote
