italianchef Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 If you could choose to theme PKI's next non-Boomerang Bay ride, which theme would you choose? Quote
KIBeast Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I would have voted for a popular Paramount picture. But, seeing how there aren't any, I voted for Star Trek. Seems to me that everyone just wants a new ride themed after a Paramount movie, popular or not. Maybe 2004 will bring a good Paramount movie. Oh yeah, just another thought. Just because a movie is popular does not make it good nor necessarily a good choice to theme a ride by. Quote
Captain Picard Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Star Trek for the Captain and I think when we asked about a Star Trek theme we was told no to fast. If you guessed what they was going to do you think they would tell you. It is too soon to tell but it looks like that is what Carowinds is going to get. Quote
DanielRadsgrl Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 I said pirates, no real logical reasoning to it. Just that I love pirates. Quote
Mr. Christopher Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 I said pirates, no real logical reasoning to it. Just that I love pirates. lol I also chose pirates. I've recently become fascinated about em. Quote
Coney_man Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Star Trek would be facinating for PKI 'cause we dont have an attraction named after the acclaimed Movie series and tv series. it would be great for a coaster :chef: Quote
italianchef Posted January 1, 2004 Author Posted January 1, 2004 Although Star Trek isn't NEARLY as popular as it used to be, I also vote for Star Trek. The syndicated series ENTERPRISE on UPN has maintained some interest in Star Trek. And it was very recently in 2003 that the most recent STAR TREK was released. And yes......I ACTUALLY LIKE STAR TREK AND AM NOT A NERD. Happy Happy New Year! Italian Chef :guitar: Quote
KIBeast Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Italian Chef Says "And yes......I ACTUALLY LIKE STAR TREK AND AM NOT A NERD." I feel the same way Chef! Quote
Express44 Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 A Star Trek theme would be cool, but didn't Jeff say that people were scared of Star Trek? Quote
Captain Picard Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 A Star Trek theme would be cool, but didn't Jeff say that people were scared of Star Trek? That is what I was talking about in my post he did not want to talk about Star Trek and got off that topic fast. Quote
italianchef Posted January 5, 2004 Author Posted January 5, 2004 Italian Chef Says "And yes......I ACTUALLY LIKE STAR TREK AND AM NOT A NERD." I feel the same way Chef! Amen Brother! :pope: I think it is ridiculous the way Star Trek fans are stereo-typed. Happy New Year! Italian Chef :chef: Quote

italianchef Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 A Star Trek theme would be cool, but didn't Jeff say that people were scared of Star Trek? If I am correct, it was that some children were scared of Klingons. However, I don't see why PKI can't have ordinary cast members dress as human or even Vulcan Star Fleet officers. Additionally, I think that a Star Trek themed coaster or flat ride or motion simulator would augment PKI's motto of "ride the movies at Paramount's Kings Island". Hence, I say PKI please give us some Star Trek. Sincerely, Captain Italian Chef, USS Chef's Ristorante :medieval: :chef: Quote
ThrillHunter Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Well Jeff said that younger guests were scared of the Star Trek characters and they were losing interests in the older guests. Quote
KIBeast Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I guess, Chef, that I am the Ulra-Super Geek. I love Star Wars, Star Trek, D&D, and coasters, What a Combo! But seriously, maybe I have been a little rough on PKI in the past and I do love this park ever so much since I have been attending when I was about 8-10 yrs. old. I feel sometimes that I am overly critical because when I first started going, it was the most amazing park, considering I had only been to Camden Park in my hometown. It seemed so clean and neat and just leading the way in thrills and family fun. It still does accomplish this, but, sadly, the theming is going to pot and maybe I am remembering something better than it was, but I don't ever remember seeing the theming in such a state when I first started going. Anyway, back on topic. I think that a Star Trek themed coaster would fit in nicely over by the FOF area and would keep in line with the space theming. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Get Marina Sirtis to visit Jeff... and he'd change his mind real quick Quote
italianchef Posted January 9, 2004 Author Posted January 9, 2004 Back in the late 1980s I met Marina Sirtis (and Jonathan Frakes) at 2 separate Science Fiction conventions in NYC and got autographed pictures of both of them. I agree that Marina Sirtis might be able to persuade some of PKI's staff that Star Trek would be a good thing. She's got my vote! Live long and prosper.

A Star Trek motion simulator/coaster/ride would fit great by FoF in Coney Mall. It would also make an awesome addition to Paramount's Action Zone. Live long and prosper.

drewbari Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 I voted a Hanna-Barbra theme, but this does not mean it can not be a great roller coster. :thumbsup: Quote
