matt3224 Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 During the slide show in dec. they were doing something to the fountain on the sides and around the fountain. Looks like new pipes or something! Quote
aero11 Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 That was what I was trying to say captain picard. Quote
matt3224 Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 The 2002 PKI Rides Dept Slide Show...In mid December Quote
Beastfreak Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Seeing how not everyone works in ride (food here) then we wouldn't have known. Quote
teenageninja Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 That would be very neat to have a nice fountain. Very romantic to share a first kiss witha girl on-My girlfriend said that. Anyways, I think that the 3rd ride is Sponge Bob, beings as I haven't seen this in a while, and the fountain is getting a big make over. I hope it gets some character. Quote
hausty1983 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I'm glad the park is really stepping up on making a lot of new changes to the fountains because it makes the park look very good. The rating of PKI will get higher and higher by stepping up making the park look nicer on landscaping and other things in the park Quote
Coasterfan Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I still it will be some other giant. Maybe a J2, maybe a Delirium. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 Anyone who is expecting another major thrill ride other than Delirium will be very dissapointed come opening day. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I'm not expecting anything big. A small flat would be welcome, but as the days get closer it looks more and more like Sponge Bob. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I'm glad the park is really stepping up on making a lot of new changes to the fountains because it makes the park look very good. They aren't making "new changes" to the fountain. It will be the same old fountain, just got new pipes and pumps. In the process they had to rip all the old concrete up to replace them. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Those new pipes could make it run better though, we'll find out. A Jump 2 would be welcome though. Quote
fyrfyter Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Jump 2 would be quite awesome and get us closer to that land of the giants. I hope PKie ventually does get one of every giant ride Huss makes, and gives us one complete set of Huss fun. Quote
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Definantly a jump2 would be cool, or even a giant Topple tower, that is if Huss ever invents one, that would be really cool to have!!! A Land of Giants!!! Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Huss did invent it. They wouldn't have showed it off at all if they didn't have it worked out. I see us getting a whole land of the giants by 2007 including Topple Tower. Quote
fyrfyter Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Yeah on the Land of the Giants, but I am guessing that PKI will try to get Huss to build or design a Giant Topple Tower. Instaed of 36 make it hold 72, and make it just a little taller than 53 feet. about 75 or 100 would be perfect. I'm sure Huss coudl do it, if they wanted to. Quote
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 That thing would be so awesome if they did! Putting a Giant Topple Tower in PKI would be really cool, and I think it would be a big hit! A Jump2 would be cool as well. Does anyone agree? If you have mo idea what we are talking about go to www.hussrides.com, and look the mentioned rides up! Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 I doubt Huss could make a Topple Tower any bigger. It's designed to be a specific height and hold so many people. It's a giant tower swinging so it's gotta be tough to pull that off. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 I guess it could be done, but I doubt PKI would do that. Last time Huss made a normal ride Giant for PKI (TR:TR and Skylab) they didn't work totally right, so I don't think with a ride that daring they would mess with it. Quote
Beastfreak Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Do you know that HUSS made those rides giant just for KI or that they were already offered and KI bought them. Every new ride has its bugs. Skylab was just a maintance issue that the park didn't want to deal with. I'm hoping one day they will see that they got better and will buy a new skylab. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 So the loud bang it made when it leveled out was a maintainence issue. I know they weren't made SPECIFICALLY for PKI, but they were the first installed. Quote
EnterTheVortex Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Wouldn't it be cool if they had an underground superman ride like at magic mountain. The station started at The Beast and the tower came up by Son of Beast. Pretty much impossible but i thought it would be a cool idea Quote
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 that would be cool though but I don't think It will happen. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 I wouldn't want that. We have one launched coaster that is indoors we don't need a second. I wouldn't complain about another launcher, but not just up a hill and back. Quote
EnterTheVortex Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Than what about a Hypersonic XLC kinda ride that wouldnt be just up a hill and back down except make it to hills instead of one, that would be unique and it wouldnt be a clone. Quote
Coasterfan Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 How about a S&S air launch where you launch up a 200' hill then it gives you another boost an you go through a 1080 degree helix! All at around 80 to 90 mph. Just a cool thought. Quote
teenageninja Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 ::Barfs:: a 1080 degree helix at 90 you would be so dizzy it wouldn't be funny. I would rather see some sort of Intamin (higher capacity, twisting drops) HydroLaunched. Even though CP has one there's is a one trick pony we could have a really long one with lots of overbanks, hills, and helixs. Quote
EnterTheVortex Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Yeah, pki should get a wicked twister like rollercoaster. Quote
fyrfyter Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Nah, PKI needs a complete circuit cxoaster, not just a Wicked Twister type. We already have Face/Off, and I really think we need a coaster with a bit better capacity, than something like Wicked twister, which only has one train. Quote
Coasterfan Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 How about a Wicked Twister full circut. The tops of the towers could connect so it makes like an oval shaped loop. It could be air launched and stop upside down, launch the other way and reverse the ride. Quote
