PKICoasterFreek Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 If you could chang one thing at PKI to make it better what would it be? I would have to say I would probably make the park open later in the summer months and extend the season into the fall with more weekends open closer to the holiday months, or maybe even though the whole year, leaving a two moth period in the late winter period to do maintance on the rides and other parts of the park. Rides: I would like to see a lap bar go in on Vortex, (maybe i am going to be biting my tongue here soon, i am already 6 foot....) but it would be more confortable, though its not bad now. I would try my very best to make SoB back in a wooded area or atleast try to put some larger trees in around SoB. The very easily could find large trees from the surrounding area, not just in the park but from lots people are wanting to build and are going to be cutting then down in neighborhoods around PKI and pick them up and move them. ( Its not nearly as crazy as it sounds. When Disney was building the Epcot in WDW there was a massive oak sitting in the area that would soon be Spaceship Earth or 'the big white golf ball' and they flew it over to the Magic Kingdom by army helicoptor and planted it right by Cinderella's castle, so it is perfectly possible and the trees is still alive today) I have more to change, but right now PKI is fine for me! I'll post more later, give everyone else a chance to talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLorean Rider Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Personally if I could change one thing...I would change the spelling of different in your topic title.... Agreed^ I would probably bring back all of the old cool things KI has taken away like, top gun under the station queue line, winterfest, bring back rides like james bond or Days of thunder in Action theater, Open both sides of the antique cars, paint racer the original red white and blue, top gun the gray and red, add a tunnel to SOB. Fix all the themeing in Adventure Express. Less trim breaks on The Beast, put a sweet show in International showplace, make fearfest like it was the first year, clean up coney and put more themeing on the rides.

Scooby_Doo Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 If I could change one thing hmmm... I would bring back the Classic HB Characters and I would add a kickin coaster and some cool kiddie rides too! kids need to have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 It seems as though they have a lot of fun already. They do get to enjoy the World's Best Kid's Area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Kinda Guy Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 If I could change one thing?... Have Drop Zone ascend the tower much faster for improved capacity. However, if we want the ride to run and not cost an arm and a leg to maintain, we'll have to deal with it's current speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Homey Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I'd make Action Zone more shady. How? No idea. Ever been to Cedar Point? They have great shaded lines on Raptor, Millennium Force and I'm sure there are others. Not only that, they have the misting fans. Why can't PKI install either one of these in AZ? Or anywhere else for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Punk Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Easy question...I would totally redesign SOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airguy06 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I would bring back KC, Charlift, Kentons Canal, smurf's, and the old movies in Action theatre should be like a rotation every week a different "classic" program. Also more theming in The Racer, even though you dont see a lot. I mean, AE would be a lot more boring than it already is without its theming, well the theming that is working. I think thats about it!

PKI_Man Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 i would bring back and restore Screamin' Demon, i will refurbish the whole ride when it first opened. Then bring back my baby (King Cobra) and have the track itself refurbished and make it more comfortable for tall riders and other guests.

dxrunner Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 If i could change one thing about the park....Expand Rivertown and get rid of Topgun...we need more rides than beast TR and the scooters...i mean there is alot of open space out there lets use it... and Topgun in my opinion is just a real tall kiddie coaster since they took out the themed fog and bottom floor of wating in line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastfreak Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'd bring back atmosphere..........KLINGONS! Amen... well not the Klingons so much. Bring back the theming, bring back the fun wardrobe depending on "Area" of the park, just don't go back to the polyester. Bring back all the little things (including employees that don't suck, I know I have a few) that you take for granted that just make your visit enjoyable. Speaking of fun wardrobe... Bubba Gumps wears Bubba shirts everyday instead of the blue Cintas shirts... Now Outback Shack (Sharky's) and all Boomerang Bay employees will be wearing special clothes as well. Can't wait to see how the atmosphere out there will add to the guests day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ride it on a cooler night then there will be some fog during the ride as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 First of all, I don`t consider Top Gun a kiddie coaster, thming or no theming. Also, Rivertown has more than three attractions. Actually it has 5 because the train and White Water Canyon are also parts of RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA RIPPER Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'd change the waterpark hours from 7:00pm to 8:00pm on weekdays. it's not worth going after work if you get off at 5:00pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI_Diana Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 My Standard definition of a ride: Any time you move without your own free will!!! --That includes Train, and also the elevator on my ride! I fully consider all those small things, as well as the water park rides do to the emergency procedures and the "move without your own free will" definition.

I didn't know getting in line for a ride was not your free will. Just kidding, I'll have to ponder this for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
