Aaron Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 OK, listen... there will be no coaster for 2003. If you are looking forward to a coaster, you'll have to wait probably until 2004. I guess it's these dreaded off season days where we're itching to get to PKI make us all start coming up with crazy ideas! Quote
Inraider Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 I never said there would be! geez! I was simply stating a fact that if they WERE to build one and not want tell us, then it could easily be done, and kept under wraps. Quote
Stitch Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Ok do you all think that if PKI did get a wild Mouse coaster seeing as how preatty much all the other P. parks have one, do you think we would get a clone or something new? Quote
pki_guy Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 There is pretty much no way PKI got a wild mouse this year. Next year we will probably get one. It should be something new, not a clone. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 The only way they would hide a ride is by not announcing it. They would not keep all the track and supports anywhere in the park because the paths inside the park are not strong enough (not made of the same material as the parking lot) thus would buckle and warp from constant weight being applied until it is put in place. They wouldn't put them on the access roads because they just aren't wide enough to store track and drive down plus half of them are on the side of a hill going up or down it. If they got a wild mouse I would probably think they would clone Ricochet, but I don't see a wild mouse in our park, at least for a while. Quote
Stitch Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Best Case Scenario In My Opinion, 2003 we just get Delirium, Scooby Doo, and Sponge Bob 3d and then in 2004 we get a B&M speed coaster spanning from Tomb Raider to Son of Beast and a Wild Mouse Coaster where the Laser Tag and Trampolines are.

Beastfreak Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Well you hit 2003 on the nose. That has been known though for a long time. The park has talked to some companies about a new ride for 2004 but haven't made a final decision as of yet. Quote
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 I would really like to see an Intamin AG blast coaster like Volcano at Kings Dominion!!! That would be a ride that I would like to see in PKI. It could also start a new sort of theme or could be put in a Rover Town or if they could find space even in Oktoberfest! Just a suggestion, I think it would be great. Do you? Quote
coasterdime Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Pesonally, I'd love to see an Intamin or B&M. The Intamin hypers I have ridden were smooth, fast, and full of airtime. I wouldn't mind something from B&M along the lines of Nitro. I do like how Beemers sound, look, and ride. I personally think a B&M is a perfect fit for a large park like PKI...a really good high capacity ride is what they need. If PKI goes with B&M, I can follow constuction from the factory....as I live very close to it. Quote
Coasterfan Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 No SOB while never run three trains. The reason, as I've stated before, is that the coaster goes faster than they anticipated. They were expecting it to go 78mph, but it actually tops out at around 85mph which decreases ride time by about a minute. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I could see that 2004 plan happening. A wild mouse and B&M Speed coaster would be a good thing for the park because one is a family ride with decent capacity and one is an adult/teen ride with HIGH capacity. KI needs to get rid of that Laser Tag, I work at a Laser Tag arena and our equipment is better broke than ki's fixed. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Hehe, no Laser Tag. Now theres food for thought. Quote
dr zoidberg Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 yeah that laser tag is a waste of space. it needs to go -zoid Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I never ever did laser tag! it needs to go i never ever see anyone in there anyway! Quote
pki_guy Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I did it once. It was okay, but nothing good enough to not remove. Quote
Stitch Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Well see Laser tag was the sh*$ in it's day because Laser Tage was around before Paintball but now that PB is around LT isn't really thrilling. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Laser Tag is really cool I am a fan of it I plan on finding some new arenas to go to and test out stuff. Anyways, I think that Laser Tag is garbage, I think that our briefing room at Laser Web is bigger than the arena , anyways I could see that being taken out, it's probably not very profittable especially with their bad equipment. Quote
Stitch Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 That spot seems destined to have rewmoved rides Zodiac FC and LT. Hopefully a Wild Mouse Coaster goes there to break the streak. Quote
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 that sopt haasn'e been very lucky has it? Hopefully PKI does put in a wild mouse there is would be a great place for one! Quote
Stitch Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 That be a cool thing to ruch by on Racer or see Racer rush by while being on it. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Unless they take out the euro-bungee along with the lazer tag, you aren't going to see a wild mouse in that spot. Just a little too cramped right there. Now on the other side of The Racer, you can do anything you want, you just have to get there, and removing the Lazer Tag would provide a way to get over there. Quote
Stitch Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I think Pki would just remove Euro Bungee also instead of putting it on the other side of Racer. Quote
Dino2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 i might check out laser tag if its there this season! Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 It would be great for me then i always take a huge bunch of my friends with me! Sounds fun ! i just hope we get a HUGE coaster in 2004! i wonder if they would theme it to The Beast of call it Revenage of The Beast! i dunno something! Quote
StXBomber Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 (edited) I hope its a flying coaster. Doesn't another paramount park have one? Well, thats only is B&M makes the new ride, what I REALLY want to see it a 4D coaster! Those are the best! (I drew a sketch of a 4D coaster a few years before the announcement of X while I was bored in class. I called it a sattelite coaster though... This has been your useless fact of the day) Edited January 1, 1970 by StXBomber Quote
Stitch Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 PGA has a flyer called Stealth but it was not made by B&M. Quote
pki_guy Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 There is a movie called "Broken Arrow" and im watching it right now. Ironically, its about an Air Force pilot who threatens the West with warheads. Of course, like most other Paramount action films, John Travolta is in it. Im about 45 minutes into it now and it is a pretty good movie. Good theme for a flyer. Quote
Stitch Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Yeah I thought that it was a Paramount movie it alsoo has Christian Slater right? Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 I personally think the name ' Sum of All Fears" would be awesome, SOAF in 2004 ! Quote
