xThexCrewx Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Those jerks better take good care of that ride. Otherwise they'll be recieving many a blow from my fists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 It is sad that they are gone, it is really my first ride "deconstruction" since the Banshee at holiday world, i liked that, but the swings are fun too. Poor Birdies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkiJake13 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Maybe in the future PKI will get another set of eagles, it just won't be the same though. I think Paramount ought to pull an Aprils Fools Day joke on us, the'll announce the original eagles are staying here and that Carowinds is getting a new set. It would never happen but this would be one huge suprise. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabloRM Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 What would be the differnce of a new set of Eagles or the old one. Would it just be the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 No, PGA has a new scooters and you can't snap the cables... not that there is a rule against it, it's just phyiscally impossible. Don't argue with me, I went there this summer and I worked on our Scooters for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabloRM Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I'm not trying to argue. I'm just not seeing the big deal with the whole, "O my God! Life is over!," thing with Scooters. And don't argue with me about that because I thought first aid had to be called because of grown men crying thier hearts out, and taking leaves from the ride area and putting them in thier pockets.

familyman Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Life goes on, get over it for real. I loved the ride. It was one of my kid’s favorite. But seriously just let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hey my roommate was p*ssed off that PKI took out the scooters as for me I am sad that they are gone because they brought so much joy to so many people but not me I never did ride em I was a chicken.

familyman Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Here’s a polite way to look at this issue. Loosing 2 flat rides….gaining a great themed coaster. I am sure you will see something replacing them when they expand the kids area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Here`s an idea. It probably won`t happen, but this is Paramount we are talking about. The Eagles are being moved into Carowinds Nick themed area. Well, word on the street is that the 2006`s expansion will be in Nick Central. Now I know it is not likely that PKI would invest in a new set of Flyers for their expansion, but you never know. Yes, Eagles and Tiques were classic PKI rides, but sometimes the past has to be removed to make room for the future. Just look at the past. Flying Dutchman for Adventure Express. King Cobra for Delirium, Kenton`s Cove Keelboat Canal for TR:TR, Phantom Theater for Scooby Doo. While I am sad to see the Scooters leave, I am looking forward to the new coaster that replaced them. And at least they did not scrap the Scooters. They will fly on in a new home to thrill new locals and more generations of brave riders.

italianchef Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 As cool as the Flying Eagles were, I fully accept PKI without them. However, if I could bring back Phantom Theater....I surely would. And in my opinion PKI is not as super-duper a park as it would be if Phantom Theater was still there. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The-Snapper Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 even with Phantoms theater its not a super duper park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sorry I made you mad. I just whated to show people that the Flying Eagles are still around and they very close to going back up in a Paramount Park. I am sure the new coaster and other things Paramount has in store for 2005 well make up for the Flyers going. Its not that bad back in the 1980's they took alot of flats out each year.

RollerNut Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I am sure Carowinds will take care of the Flying Eagles, look at Stealth. It is now BORG Assimilator and it runs better at Carowinds than it did at Great America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot more rides in the park that give people joy. Just not Scooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Snapper Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 But Scooters was one of a kind ride where it was always a different ride!!! I loved that ride I probably rode it 400+ times this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Not according to some. Flying Eagles was not a unique ride either. You can find them still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
