coasterbilly Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 amen to that PKIBeast, i have ridden both kinds of flyers, the B&M and the Vekoma, and i do say they are both pretty cool experiences. I prefer the B&M version because the restraints don't crush your chest like the Vekoma versions do, and they are much smoother. I think the B&M version is worth 1 1/2 hour wait at the longest, they are pretty good.
flightoffear1996 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I have not been on either of them but the Vekmoa looks more excting too me cause it has the better layout and the Veritcal loop which I heard is the most extreme element on any flier. Plus B&M's look too slow.
Grunts Rock Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 The Vekoma flying dutchman may have a vertical loop, but a B&M can have a pretzel loop, which is much much better. They have a lot better seating as well.
coasterbilly Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 matt is dead on and he hasn't even been on one (how'd you do that? lol). The B&M trains have much much more comfortable seats, you wouldn't believe, and the Pretzel is probably the most intense and most amazing element out there.
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 I dont know about any of that BUT I would love to see PKI get The Addams Family Coaster BUT which one would they theme the coaster to the old tv show or base it on the movies verison I CANT figure that OUT!
RollerCoasterUSA Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 it's not like there's much difference between the two (movie or show).. um.. i heard something about an announcment in late june so within a few weeks we might here something (don't quote me on that) as far as the flyers go.. i'd vote for B&M because that pretzel loop it something else.. it's hard to explain so if you haven't been on S:UF get on one!!! it's an incredible element. those trains are SOO comfy too!
King Bowser Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Well the whats different about the movie verison is that the mansion was somewhat bigger and the mansion was isolated with no neighborhood near. The TV show had the mansion in the burbs and the front gates werent that big like they were in the movie.Plus in the tv show they had a pet lion named Kitty you dont ever see Kitty in the movies. So more than likely if PKI goes with the Addams Family concept it will be based on the Movies.
spongebobrules Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Since they only own rights to the movies, that is all they can do.
coasterbilly Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 yeah it'd be a cool theme to recieve, i hope they get that being a flyer or a dive machine.
Reality15 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I'm going to say that I don't think PKI will get a flier, because with Geauga Lake having a flier and Cedar Point and Kentucky Kingdom rumored to get a flier, it's just not likely that they would go with one too. I think they would do something unique again like they did with SoB. My two cents. Once you translate that to American money it's worth less than a stray hair in an ash tray. :cowboy:
KIBeast Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 I have not heard about SFKK getting a Flying coaster at all. Where did you hear this? Anyway, as long as the layouts of these are unique, I couldn't care less if all of the parks in Ohio have a flyer. Nobody says this when it comes to wood coasters... "Geez, I hope PKI doesn't get a wood coaster cause CP, GL, and SFKK have one."
Reality15 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 The KK kingdom rumor I heard from a guy on Cedar Fair Online.
King Bowser Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Well I was talking to a friend and I hear SFKK is looking to install a Haunted House like PT.
coasterbilly Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 haha a SFKK flyer rumor from a different park chain of CF, guess that one won't fall through. But anyway, i do agree with Reality15's post though, why would PKI get a flyer also, CP is supposed to get a record breaking one soon, so it would be logical if PKI went for something different.
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I dont really care for CP that much I never go up there its too long of a drive so I hope PKI gets a flyer that would be cool.
King Bowser Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Since they only own rights to the movies, that is all they can do. Well what about the TV show? they play it all the time on NICK AT NITE? They Should have the rights for both!
Browntggrr Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Well what about the TV show? they play it all the time on NICK AT NITE? They Should have the rights for both! Nick replays the TV show in syndicate, that does not give Paramount the rights to the likeness OF the TV show.
PKIDelirium Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 ya, just like SciFi showing Star Trek, and Spike TV showing Star Trek:TNG and Star Trek:DS9
King Bowser Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Bluh! I really cant stand Sci-fi network! But I DO LOVE SPIKETV but I dont watch Star Trek ewww...I was confused thanks BrownTggrr.
coasterbilly Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 yuck i agree, i can't stand Star Trek, it's soooooo boring!!!
