coasterrz Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 I recall a couple of weeks ago, wround the time that PKi anounced the details of Boomerang Bay that they would eventually be posting an animated video to their website. I think I heard this from Shaggy who said that the video and renderings were done by Badnitus. Anyone know if in fact the renderings were done by Badnitrus and if PKi will be putting the video on their website? I can`t wait to see more of the layout of Boomerang Bay like where Tasmanian Typhoon will be build and where Kookabura Bay will be built. Quote
fyrfyter Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Maybe they are waiting for after the tour on november 2nd to show off the video, as I bet those that go on the tour, will get to see the video. Quote
Beastfreak Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Yes the video was made by Badnitrus... but for professional services the company name is VIP or something like that. They did say the video would be coming out soon on the website. I'm sure they are probably working on compressing it and stuff or how they plan on puttin it up. Its not a small file. I really have no idea but I can only make an assumption that the reason for meeting in the Festhaus for the construction tour is to show the video. Jeff Siebert likes to be heard... plenty of people frequent the Festhaus daily.... there are three large TV screens with which he can show the video on... giving the chance for not only the enthusiasts to see the video but the guests that are there as well. That is just my guess, so if you go and that is not what happens, don't be disappointed. Why else would they meet there then walk across the park rather than meet near the entrance to the waterpark itself? Quote
coasterrz Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 I found it odd that the meeting place is in the Festhaus and not closer to Boomerbang Bay. Maybe they decided that it might be cold and the Festhuas has heat. Or, like you suggested BeastFreak, maybe they will be showing the video. Or Jeff could have something else up his sleeves, that only he klnows about right now. I can`t wait till the 2nd, but that will be a sad day because it will mean the last of PKi for 5 months! Quote
Dane Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 It might be at the Festhouse because everyone knows where the Festhouse is! Quote
fyrfyter Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 It might be at the Festhouse because everyone knows where the Festhouse is! I think this is probably the more likely item. Many people in the summer use the train to get to BB, and not everyone knows where the walkway to there is. I think Festhaus was a good choice, as its a common area of the park, that is easy to find without any problems. Quote
TheRickster Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Its a pki-c day so ill be there. I think the festahuas is gonna double as a press release for it. I think everything will be let out then. Quote
StXBomber Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 I wish I could go, but I have play practice which runs from 1-6 that day! If anyone has a camera (still or video) and is allowed to take pics/videos, please do and post them online for those of us *coughMEcough* who cannot make it to this event. Tell Jeff I said hi! Quote
italianchef Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I look forward to seeing the video. However....I'm more interested in actually GOING to Boomerand Bay next year. Quote
coasterrz Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 Another possible reason for possibly meeting at the Festhaus is that the Festhaus is heated, and based on weather reports for the rest of this week, unless there is a major warm up for the weekend, the Festhaus will be warm! Video or no video, I`m still excited on being given a tour of the construction. Yes, I woul much rather be going there to ride the rides as if it were next season, but we`ll all have to wait a while for that (almost a month after the park is open next year). The rickster, what are you talking about when you say a press release about it? All the information has already been released. It has been stated that Craig Ross has stated there will be additional anouncements, but I highly doubt that there will be any anouncement or press release on Sunday, the 2nd. We might gain some additional information about BB, like locations of attractions, and some new features that are not newsworthy enough for a press release. Quote
TheRickster Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Festhouse also has the big tv's for them to play the video on. It might not even be a actual "tour". Maby just a video tour guided by him talking about it. Quote
coasterrz Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 I highly doubt that the "tour" will consist of the park playing avideo on the Festhaus screens. The quality is not very great, especially when the lights are on. Why would the park encourage people to bring cameras if they weren`t going to take them on an actual tour? Quote
TheRickster Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 He might have graphs and stuff. Im thinking we will be there for a few minutes and he will overview everything from graph's etc then go out for a actual tour. From what i can see tho there isnt much construction going on yet Quote
coasterrz Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 When I rode the Pumpki Patch express last weekend. There was obviously a tractor over by the exit to the Helix. Also, from the parking lot, there was a tractor visable over by Wipeout Beach. I do agree that while construction has begun, i think it is probably just site prepartations, and possibly some footers have been poured. I think the tour will be more like Tasmanian Typhoon`s entrance will be here and the funnel over here by these markings. Obviously, they can`t have much to show so far. Heck, last year, Delirium had footers poured by the 24 of October and they didn`t assemble the ride until January. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I will be in Indianapolis with a skeet and trap team, so if someone wants to help me out and take some pics, I would be greatly appreciative! Quote
Aaron Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Don't worry. We will have plenty of photos along with a video from closing day. Quote
coasterrz Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 (edited) Sounds good Aaron! Let`s just hope the park isn`t swamped with people becuase of the exceptionally warm and beautiful weekend that is shaping up, not to mention all the free tickets the park gave to passholder for use on this weekend.

SixFlagsMasta Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 not to mention all the free tickets the park gave to passholder for use on this weekend. ugh! tell me about it. it'll be WAY too crowded. o well. i'm gonna try to make it out but i have a feeling i won't be able to so someone ride FoF and Vortex for me Quote
fyrfyter Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Sounds good Aaron! Let`s just hope the park isn`t swamped with people becuase of the exceptionally warm and beautiful weekend that is shaping up, not to mention all the free tickets the park gave to passholder for use on this weekend. I don't think it will be too bad, as most of the people that normally pay to get into the park, probably will not show up on the last weekend the park is open. I think it will be a good day all in all, and hopefully as night comes, many people will leave the park, since now it gets dark nice and early. Quote
coasterrz Posted November 3, 2003 Author Posted November 3, 2003 Well, having returned from the Boomerang Bay and 1 ride on The Beast, I can say the park was swamped with people. When pulling in, the lot was almost full and they had brought out the "Park nearing capacity" signs out at the parking lot. As expected, he did show a BB video. Looks awesome and i think everyone in the Festhaus both the GP and all of us enthusiasts were quite impressed by the stunning footage. Quote
