The Interpreter Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- For most people, challenging a 200 foot roller coaster at California's Great America is a daredevil experience, but for Nik Wallenda, the park's thrill rides are mere child's play. Wallenda, the King of the High Wire, will attempt one of the most daring stunts of the summer as he walks a wire high atop California's Great America on Sunday, June 28, at 1:30pm. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071025/AQTH164LOGO) At 100 feet in the air, Wallenda will attempt to walk 500 feet across the park. Nik will perform this amazing stunt with no safety net, safety wire or harness. Known as the "King of the High Wire", Wallenda currently holds two Guinness World Records, including the longest distance and greatest height ever traveled on a high wire by bicycle, set in October 2008. He is the seventh generation of the Great Wallendas and began his high wire career at the age of four. Observation of this death defying stunt is included with California's Great America admission on Sunday, June 28, 2009. Guest can save big by purchasing their tickets online at Cagreatamerica.com where everyone pays the kids price every Sunday in June (online offer only). California's Great America is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, a publicly traded partnership that is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FUN." In addition to California's Great America, Cedar Fair owns and operates ten other amusement parks, six water parks, one indoor water park resort, and five hotels.

CedarPointer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Cagreatamerica.com? And I thought Visitkingsisland.com was bad! CedarPointer, who still uses pki.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Well, out there http://www.pgathrills.com/ still works. I suspect that neither that nor http://www.pki.com will work much longer, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have a feeling they'll keep those domains until most people stop using them. Many people I know still use pki.com, and some haven't even heard of visitkingsisland.com! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 You assume that continued usage of the p word is allowed for the domains under the acquisition agreement...an assumption that may well not be correct... Terpy, choosing his words very carefully... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 According to http://www.who.is, the pki.com domain registration doesn't expire until August 6th of 2013. However, the pgathrills.com domain registration expires on January 29th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Having a right to use a domain name from the domain name registrar does not necessarily mean that Cedar Fair has the right to continue using it under the terms of their acquisition agreement when they bought Paramount Parks from CBS. They may. They may not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
