italianchef Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Probably the dummest rumor that I heard was that PKI was subsidizing The Beach Water Park to keep them in business. Why would any business spend money to help its competition? That was a dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb rumor. Have a great off season! Italian Chef
flightoffear1996 Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 The worst rumor I have ever heard, was that Kings Island was better than Cedar Point. That isnt a rumor.
HabloRM Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 True, Cedar Point is better than PKI. I agree and disagree on that. When it comes to the rides, Cedar Point kicks ass! But when it comes to the employees, Cedar Point sucks.
holeinone888221 Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 True, Cedar Point is better than PKI. I agree and disagree on that. When it comes to the rides, Cedar Point kicks ass! But when it comes to the employees, Cedar Point sucks. Yeah, most of their employees do suck. On Magnum, I thought I got the worst treatment of all, but on MF, they were interactive and having a good time.
Ben Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Cedar Point has better rides, and a much cleaner park. But their staff does suck.
holeinone888221 Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Cedar Point has better rides, and a much cleaner park. But their staff does suck. ...and better food.
Scooby_Doo Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 But PKI has better Kiddy Lands I love snoopy but PKI just rules at kid themes.
familyman Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 You know there is a message board for that other park. If you don’t like PKI why don’t you go there. Seriously I thought this site was for fans of the park not trash talkers. How about doing something productive on here besides putting a park down. The only negative thing I have ever had to say about CP how cramped it is there. They cram all those rides and customers on that small island. If I wanted to talk about CP I would be on that message board. How about a little respect for those of us who want to get on here and communicate with others who love PKI.
TheKlockster Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 It's not a rumor about PKI - but I heard once that somebody supposedly got stuck upside down in a Arrow Dynamics corkscrew ride! That is totally impossible!
PKIDelirium Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Nope, that was Demon at great America (Chicago) A wheel assembly broke, and jammed the train in the loop. Firefighters were called for evacuation.
Ben Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 familyman, Cedar Point DOES NOT HAVE A SPACE PROBLEM! If Kings Island would just build some big rollercoasters but still maintain the family feeling, it would a much better park and I would enjoy it more.
familyman Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Wasn’t PKI rated #1 recently? Yep sure was. And PKI is gaining on CP when it comes to coasters. I love amusement parks. We are very fortunate to live in a state that has so many of them. What I am saying is if you don’t have anything productive to say then take it somewhere else. We can all tell you love CP. Free world and all I am just getting sick of people bashing my favorite park. Ohoo and by the way here is a link if you don’t already have it to a CP message group. http://www.pointbuzz.com/cpplace.aspx

Ohoo and by the way here is a link if you don’t already have it to a CP message group. http://www.pointbuzz.com/cpplace.aspx http://www.amusementtoday.com/2004gtaParkAndRide.html Kings Island was voted #1 in Best Kids Area. Cedar Point was voted #1 in Best Park. Kings Island will have 13 coasters when IJ:ST opens. Cedar Point has 16. PKI hasn't built a worthy coaster since 2000. Cedar Point has built three record breaking roller coasters since 2000. So if you think PKI is closing in on the coaster count, then you are sadly mistaken. On another note, I have an account at PointBuzz, I post there frequently. Just because I like Cedar Point more than Kings Island, doesn't mean I hate Kings Island.
familyman Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 In terms of attendance, PKI actually topped Cedar Point to take the top spot in amusement park attendance for Ohio. As quoted from another post a little while back. And as far as your comment about PKI not building a worthy coaster since 2000. When was the last well themed ride Cedar Point built? PKI has been busy building an overall theme park much like universal. the IJST will not break any records but CP has nothing that can even come close to it.
TRTR Guy Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Heres the difference between PKI and Cedar Point PKI is a theme park with an emphasize in their kiddy area Cedar Point is a thrill park who is interested in building big rides Both parks decided to go that route because thats what draws people to their repective parks, both parks are good, no need to argue over it.
Smurfs Enchanted Voyage Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I like Universal Studios Orlando more PKI is my home park so I will pick it anyday of the week.
King Bowser Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 PKI is better all around they offer more while CP only has big rides attendence wise PKI was up this year I couldnt tell you about CP.

FOF/Z 4-ever Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I'm sorry, and I dont normally get into these arguements, but this is crazy! This is a PKI site w/ many fans and crew members. If you cant say anything nice, then DONT post. Again, as someone mention, we know that BEN LOVES CP. Give it up Ben and drop the subject.
FOFzySUPer Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I would have to say the worst rumor was that the Ex head sup of FOF in 2003 was leaving. It made me sad, James I miss you.
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Aww, Thanks. Yea, it was true and I miss it still very much. Its a great place to be and everyone who works there is like a big huge family. I would recomend it to everyone. I miss everyone too.
flightoffear1996 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 . Kings Island will have 13 coasters when IJ:ST opens. Cedar Point has 16. PKI hasn't built a worthy coaster since 2000. Cedar Point has built three record breaking roller coasters since 2000. So if you think PKI is closing in on the coaster count, then you are sadly mistaken. Just cause they are big and tall doesnt mean they are all that fun! Like TTD will be nothing in 3 years but however The Beast, Son of Beast and most of PKI's rollercoasters will keep their value over alot more than Cedar Point's does. And Wicked Twister sucks by the way!
RMBryan Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Wicked Twister sucks by the way! I don't like Wicked Twister much either.
familyman Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Enough wasted time and space on this dead issue. Silence is golden. Respect the site and its members.
KIBeast Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Sorry, gotta disagree. Wicked Twister rocks! It is true that the last good coaster at PKI was SOB in 2000. Some may even argue against that. And, believe me, TTD, MF, Raptor, Mantis are all great and will continue to be. And, instead of telling people to leave here, why don't you suggest they visit the community forums where you can discuss Cedar Point and other parks?
BoddaH1994 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Sorry, gotta disagree. Wicked Twister rocks! It is true that the last good coaster at PKI was SOB in 2000. Some may even argue against that. I still think people will be eating their words once they ride IJST.
TheKlockster Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Well put Boddah! If all you like is dropping 300+ feet at a hundred miles per hour, then CP is for you. IJST will be relatively low in G-force (though it will have some good spots). However the expierence will be incredible. I am particularly intrigued at how the cars will actually fishtail around corners and move up and down on the stairs. That will be really cool.
