Dane Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Weird fact? Taft broadcasting (the owners before Paramount) bought 1600 acres of land for expansion. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Im the one who got Jason to work at PKI, give him rides to the park, and make sure hes behaving himself (not an easy task). You can thank me later. **Oh and for those of you who know Jason and dont know this, he is recuperating this week from surgury. He had to have dental surgury to get rid of his wisdom teeth. Quote
thejuice26 Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Bryan, where do I see these pictures from dry run day? I must know! Regards, Jason Engelhard Racer '03-'04 Quote
bwware Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 There are links to the pics on home page of the site. If this is the same dude that was running the FORWARD racer on Sunday, you were doing a perfect job at getting both forward and backward trains to race! You were on par perfectly with the girl driving the backwards racers! Even in the cold weather, looked like you guys were having a blast at doing what you were doing! Mad props guys! Bill Quote
carpetarson Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Thats what i love to see, great job to you guys over on The Racer. When the ride ops are having fun the guest have more fun. Quote
beastdude Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 I just remembered a sort of weird fact. PKI had the biggest Christmas tree ever (Winterfest) Quote
0-120 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Wow. That's amazing. I never would've guessed PKI had the biggest. Quote
beastdude Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 It is not there anymore it was just a one time thing. Quote
rugs Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Does anyone know hieght requirements on the costers? Quote
Reptarrunner Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Reptar, Racer, Adventure Express, Ghoster Coaster and Beastie (by yourself): 44" Beast, and I think Top Gun and Vortex: 48" All the rest: 54" Quote
TowerGuy Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Ghoster Coaster is 36" accompianed by, 44" to ride alone. SOB is 48" not 54" those are the only things I saw wrong. Quote
bradb055 Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 PKI used to have the largest hanging plant near the other old cars entrance (the closed down one). Its been quite awhile since I have seen it there but it used to be there. Quote
The Nemesis Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 I migt be new, but i know way to much. The hanging basket is still there. Right after you leave The Vortex heading towards The Beast and Tomb Raider. Another odd Fact, The Brady Bunch taped an episode there and it also guest starred former Cincy Reds cather Johnny Bench. Btw, I've been looking at this site for a while, but just now registered.... go figure. Official Website of the Boogieman Justin Storm Quote
fryler87 Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 The hanging plant is still there? I sure don't remember it being there last season...I remember noticing that it was gone. Quote
DragonLord Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 The park has over 700 acres of land, and we have enough space left that we can double the size of the theme park without a problem. Quote
RMBryan Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Thats what i love to see, great job to you guys over on The Racer. When the ride ops are having fun the guest have more fun. To all you employees who know about Racer's Doc John history this might be a sign for turn around. But really we only have one direction to go but up Quote
