PKIwarrior11 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 If you could remove any roller coaster from PKI which one would it be? Also if you had to replace your removed coaster with a roller coaster from a different park which coaster would you pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pki Fan Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I would only do this becouse of the amount of space by the ride i would take out FoF and replace it with millineum force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster-King Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I would take out Adventure Express and replace it with the Mantis from Cedar Point. We would have to intend the land and space to make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxD3LIRIUMxx Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I would take out The Vortex (It's awesome, but getting old and it kills you the day later) and put in Top Thrill Dragster, that new one at Cedar Point. It goes over 300 feet in the air and falls at a STEEP angle. I would love that. It doesn't take up a horrible amount of horizontal space either, it would fit.

PKIwarrior11 Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think I would take out Adventure Express and Replace it with another great woody like Rampage--Visionland, Shivering Timbers--Michigan's Adventure, or The Raven from Holiday World.

Browntggrr Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 (edited) I hate to see any ride taken out for any reason. PKI did take out KC, but because parts were scarce. Other than that, the park has more than enough room to expand w/o subtracting any rides. Edited January 1, 1970 by browntggrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfan Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 (edited) I going to go with replaceing Vortex with TTD. By the way, it's 420 feet ,120 mph and is completly vertical. Edited January 1, 1970 by coasterfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think someone already said this but, Adventure Express with Mantis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxcar Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 The Raven from Holiday World was fun, wasnt that the roller coaster that someone just flew out of and died last week or the week before that? i could be misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I wouldent take out any ride but I would but a Flying Eagels type attraction, make it a GIANT, and put it in the Action Zone. It would be bigger, faster, and longer. And it will be a Pay-Per-Ride, at $1.00. Just to get the some of the wait down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxD3LIRIUMxx Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I saw a picture of TTD, my cousins live in Sandusky and they have season passes (lucky people) and I live 3hrs away from PKI in Ashland, KY. Well, they said that it was just one hill, and I knew it was huge. They said it was the tallest...idk how true that is. All I know is that some ride at Cedar Point was supposed to be second tallest a few years ago. I don't really follow them that well. Oh yeah, and I get to go to PKI Monday! I am overjoyed!

You must not watch the news, because when it opened; it was on every channel. You guys must get some news channels in Ashland. Am I right; and they do have newspapers right? Also to figure out if it's true look at any coaster site really. We like PKI, not CP! Edited January 1, 1970 by Tanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxD3LIRIUMxx Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I've never been to Cedar Point, nor do I really want to. It's just a big park centered around rollercoasters...I love rollercoasters, but I'm the only one in my family who does. PKI has something for everyone. It has The Racer which is my mom's favorite ride and the only coaster that she rides at will, and the kid's section for my little sis. I hear that CP is nowhere near as diverse.

DanielRadsgrl Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I would do any thing to take out Flight of Fear and replace it with a better ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 You people are insane to take out Flight of Fear, I would take out Top Gun and put in an inverted or flyer and SOB and rebuild it from Intamin with BIGGER trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I agree with the bigger trains for SoB. The ride would not be nearly as rough with different specs for the train size. The question I have is: Do the trains have to be designed this way because of the uniquness of SoB or did PKI go cheap and get smaller trains?

coasterbilly Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 if i had to take a ride out it would be Top Gun and replace it with a nice B&M floorless. By the way xxD3liriumxx, how could you say that about the point? I went 2 years ago and that's so not true about revovling around coasters. It has every single ride you can ask for for the whole family. It is the best Amusement Park in the country and it has a ride or coaster for everyone.

bignathan4403 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I would take out Top Gun or AE and put a Huss Jump Squared and a Crazy Mouse in it's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3224 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Well CP is kinda centered on Coasters. That is why they get a new one every year! Go figure... and PKI goes for more diversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 (edited) Well CP is kinda centered on Coasters. That is why they get a new one every year! Go figure... and PKI goes for more diversity. Cedar Point has the most rollercoasters, AND has the most rides than any other park with 69. Now that is diversity. Another common myth is that they build one every year. 2003- Top Thrill Dragster 2002- Wicked Twister 2000- Millenium Force 1999- Woodstock Express 1995- Mantis 1993- Raptor 6 coaster in 10 years, one is a Intimin Impulse, and Woodstock Express is a children's coaster. Now look at this: Rugrats Reptar- 2001 SoB- 2000 Face-Off- 1999 FoF- 1996 Top Gun- 1993 Does this mean that PKI is centered on coasters as well? It is only one less...

skatefanjeff Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I would take out top gun, and add millennium force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsMasta Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 ok, i'd get rid of topgun. i like it but it just doesn't compare to the others. i'd replace it with chang at SFKK. and how the heck could you get rid of FoF? i love that ride. It used to just be ok to me but after riding it on thursday i think it kicks a$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i think browntggrr has a point. PKI has gotten almost the same amount of coasters as CP the last 10 year. Oh well, who cares, sorry for going off topic. Would Millennium Force actually fit where Top Gun is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DX8706 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 If you were going to take out any ride, why wouldn't it be Adventure Express. KI has enough kiddie coasters with The Beastie and Rugrats ride. Adventure Express is never crowded because its a bad ride. If you have to dump a ride, than give Adventure Express the axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike77 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 (edited) Okay I must be the Cedar Point genius here let's get all straightened out. Top Thrill Dragters is the tallest and fastest coaster in the entire universe at 420 feet and a 120 MPH launch in less then 4 seconds and the hill is 90 degrees. Millennium Force was not the second tallest and fastest a few years ago but the tallest and fastest at 310 feet and 93 MPH, it is also the best ( in almost every poll including golden ticket) roller coaster in the world, and currently the 3rd tellest and 4th fastest (not including Superman at SFMM). Cedar Point does have the most coasters at 16, but also has 53 other rides, with not one but two kids sections, one of which being very new and modern. A park does not get the award for best amusement park for 5 years in a row for just coasters ladies and gentlemen, Cedar Point is your average park on steriods. Every thing there is bigger, better, faster, more thrilling, and more diverse, while still having great mild roller coasters, rides, and family attractions. So any more questions on the Point? Now Back on topic, I would take out Face/Off and replace it with a full B&M inverted coaster elsewhere in the park. After riding Alpengeist, Raptor, and Batman, the coaster does nothing for me, and the capacity is horrendous. Edit: Millennium Force would not fit where Top Gun is, It is only 805 feet shorter then The Beast, with just as big of a footprint.

ebajane Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I'd take out Top Gun (even though it's my favorite coaster, it's WAY too short) and replace with CPs Raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 thank you Mike77, i agree 100% with you, the Point is the perfect park for EVERYONE, not just thrill seekers. MF is the best coaster on the planet, and it has some nice family coasters as well, love that park and i don't think anything will beat it. Again, sorry, back to topic. I heard that Adventure Express was the best Mine Train in the country from other sites i've visited, what's wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike77 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 It is the best mine train in the country, as most would agree, however is there a good Mine Train? I'd say no, but I'm a thrill junkie, they're great for kids and families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
