Dane Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I was thinking, the Train ride theming has gone really downhill season by season. Well since Boomerang Bay will be going in, that will make the trains popularity go up. So my idea is, since Boomerang Bay will make the train busier, do you think part of the 04 construction will be the improvement of the Train?

PKIDelirium Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 hopefully! I mean, it looks BAD now with all the old rotting themeing stuff. I think they should do something at the turn past WaterWorks so you can't see the PARKING LOT form the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars1825 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 One word: Money. That's the reason why they took everything out in the first place. That's also the reason why they won't bring it back. When a park gets cheap, a park gets cheap and it won't go back to the way it once was. The days where PKI really cared about their theming are over and most likely won't come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express44 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I agree with mars that it's all about money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 PKI is first and foremost a business. If revenues don't exceed expenditures, PKI will cease to exist. So, let's be understanding. Have a groovy day! Italian Chef :chef: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Not to say you are wrong The Rickster, but where did you hear that they are re-themeing Top Gun? I have not heard that one yet. I did hear about AE, but not TG. And, I also agree with mars1825 that the days of nice themeing are over with at PKI. They couldn't seem to care less unless it's a new ride. But then again, the themeing for the newer rides will rot like all the others leaving an eyesore, but what do they care as long as they sell season passes. To me, if it's not nice to look at, I'm more apt to go somewhere else that looks better. That's another reason I go to CP more often even though it is a longer drive for me.

JIMMY JAMZ Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Well,the train ride is primarily transportation back n forth to the waterpark.Back in the old days when it was a "ride" I can understand them mataining the theming.But just because they havent kept up with it all of a sudden the park is cheap?Come on now they spend millions on new rides and improvements everyear.Why dont you just go to CP all the time,and then that will be one less person in line in front of me.

KIBeast Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I never said that I would not go to PKI, just not as much as I used to. Someone always has to be a smart a** and can only come back with, well, just go on to CP and I won't have to stand in line behind you. If you really cared for the park, then you would want them to keep up with maintenance and themeing. And, if more and more people start thinking like I do, then eventually attendance will drop and there will be no more PKI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars1825 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 ^ then whats up with tomb raider and bubba gumps? and them possible rethemeing top gun and ae? You'll see what happens to TR:TR and Bubba Gumps. TR:TR has already showed signs of deterioration. PKI doesn't really look into maintaining their theming.

BoddaH1994 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 lol.. you guys really need to defuse. Don't let this get blown out of proportion. We're all friends here! The train ride themeing was probably taken out because of the fact that WW was built and it took up a lot of the land. Also, since most people do in fact use the train simply as transportation, they probably chose to put their money elsewhere. I'm sure the impressions of cowboys and indians weren't exactly PC anymore as well. The rest of the themeing was probably left up just so the train ride isn't blatantly bland. I realize that it hasn't been kept up, but that's probably on the park's long list of needed improvements. I don't see anything necessarily new going in there because it would be hard to advertise that as a new attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMMY JAMZ Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 It just annoys me when people complain even though they spend millions a year in park improvements.Yeah I agree maybe they should fix up this and add that.But I'm grateful that they try to keep the place looking nice.You kinda remind me of my x-wife I kept giving and giving but she still wanted more....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider19 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 i personally don't really see the deterioration on tr:tr, besides, it's supposed to be ruins anyway, but they could keep the little area under the que line inside a little cleaner!
