PKI Homey Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I just heard on a local radio station that they were giving away tickets for PKI for a special preview in April? Does anyone know what this is about? I am assuming Boomerang Bay, but who wants to visit a water park in April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkaf2002 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think the tickets they are giving away is for the gold pass day at PKI. I think it's only the main park i doubt its for the waterpark too. I don't think the water park will be ready till mid may from what i heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have a question for someone who knows. Will the preview be one or two days? I was listening to the radio, and heard the ad for tickets too, and I'm just hoping there won't be insane crowds like last year. I'm not complaining...or even taking the "PKI owes me 'cause I have a pass" stance...I'm just hoping they can find a way to spread out the crowds a little better. From what I understand, the preview day last year became so crowded, because of the unusually warm weather. More passholders decided to make the trek to the park. Just looking forward to going....

Kirkaf2002 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 From what i have heard on the radio they are only advertising for one day, and i believe the day i heard was April 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlefishbigsea Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 They talked about that in another thread, I think. http://www.pkiunlimited.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1668 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB/Gun Steve-O Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I would think that after what happened last year, the only tickets given out will be to the radio stations and to the employees (we always get 4 for dry run day) - not passholders. No way to prove that, though. And in the past the water park has opened Memorial-Day weekend. No way will it be open for dry run day or opening day.

pkifreakhogg Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Pass holders day is April the 4th from 10am to 8pm which is a sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 So, will Dry Run day folks share the day with the radio station ticket holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsMasta Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 probably.. that will give them a chance to work with the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I know April 3rd is supposed to be some sort of training day for rides, so maybe that's when the Preview tickets are for. That's what I'm guessing, because whenever they share, the lines are 3 times as long as they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 April 3rd is dry run day for employees and their families. Additionally, that day is the same day that radio station winners will receive tickets to visit the park. On Sunday, April 4th, as stated above, will be exclusively for season pass holders. The park is doing it this way after the horrendous crowds that emerged on last years preview night. That preview night was from 5 to 10 on a Friday night and all radio station ticket winner, dry run day tickets and pass holders attended the event in the same evening. Unfortunatly the weather was really nice, so the combination resulted in a packed park and extremely long lines. This year the park istrying to make it more enjoyable for all involved.

stephenmayes Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Sounds like it was a great environment for people on their first day of real work! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 While it may have been great for those working, it was a rather poor experience as a guest. While I did grab one of the first rides on Delirium, the line for Scooby when ia arrived at it aroun 6 o`clock was horrendous! The line stretched all the way onto International Street and up towards the Eiffel Tower. I waited about 45 minutes to get on it. The lines for the other attractions were long also, and there was a zoo of people walking around. It wasn`t quite as bad as a Bring a Friend Free Day, but it was worse than a normal weekend.

Ha, I meant that as a negative. I'm sure a busy hostile crowd isn't the best thing for a new employee to work in on their first day Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
