Dane Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 PKI.com has redone there site and made it more flash orientated. They have also added fact sheets about most (if not all) or the rides in the park. Also a complete overhaul of checkout scripts. http://www.pki.com Thanks to Reclaimer for pointing this out. Quote
Coney_man Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 And the Police cars are there too!! IJST Update Quote
familyman Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I still can't find anything about the 05 gold pass perks. Anyone have any info? Quote
Reclaimer Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 They'll probably have a flash animation up on the Season Pass page. Carowinds and Kings Dominion both have one up, so I assume it'll only be a matter of time. Even CW has one. Quote
specialk141 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 dont know if its lighting or what.... but in this photo: http://multimedia.pki.com/images/news/Park...0garage_mc4.JPG it appears that The Vortex track has been painted silver or white? i see no signs of orange? can anyone confirm / deny this, or am i just seeing things?

Could just be the way the sun is hitting it. Quote
Skippy Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I only hope they don't remove to many trees to make room fore the IJST's que and that they use the same kind of bricks in the queline as on the path. The path connecting Rivertown and Coney Mall was always the most peaceful spot in the park (except down by Paradise Island), I just hope they don't take too much away from the atmosphere. By the way, construction looks great and is moving along really fast, lets just hope PKI's IJST cars are alright and weren't involved in that fire! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 What was Kings Domoion old site URL cause if it had like pkd.com or something they dropped the paramount. Quote
Dan Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 it appears that The Vortex track has been painted silver or white? i see no signs of orange? can anyone confirm / deny this, or am i just seeing things? I was in the park yesterday, and I can assure you Vortex has not been painted. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 I hope they put the gold pass perks online soon. The site looks nice, except I have a Mac, and several of the flash effects and links don`t work. I can`t click on the Italian Job picture on the main page to go to the Italian Job page. Quote
TRTR Guy Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 it appears that The Vortex track has been painted silver or white? i see no signs of orange? can anyone confirm / deny this, or am i just seeing things? Looks Blue and orange in the pic to me, probably just the angle and sun. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 The progress on IJ:ST looks very very nice almost all of the track appears to be in place and almost all the structure for the themeing and such also seems to be in place. They are working at an amazing pace and I can't wait to ride this coaster, it looks very cool. Quote
Pirate of PKI Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Am I the only one getting the "we are currently offline for scheduled maintenance" page on the PKI main page? Quote
ZosoBeast Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Also says the park "Opens for the season, Friday April 9th, 2005" only thing being is April 9th is a Saturday! Quote
TRTR Guy Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Also when i click the IJST pic in the center of This Page it takes me to a descriptin of Borg Assimilator. Quote
thejoker8388 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Why is there a picture of a B&M invert on the side of the page in the media center? Quote
PKI Punk Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Was Fearfest open in Fridays last year? If not, they plan on it for this season. Quote
TRTR Guy Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Because its probably an image there using on all the Paramount Parks Sites. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Yes, I too have encountered several bugs with the relaunched PKI site, although some of those have to do with me using Safari on my Mac. Yes, that IJST image does take you to a description on Borg Assimilator. No, Fear Fest was not open on Fridays last season. The last time FearFest was open on Friday`s was back in 2002 when it was a seperate fee attraction for pass holders and the gp. Quote
hauntguy Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Hey guys, I was looking at the calender... and in the month of October (my favorite month) PKI is open 3 days in a row now!!! Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays!!! Could Fearfest be three days of fear now? Just curious, what do you guys think? -Hauntguy Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Well yesterday, before the site was updated, it said that they were open from 6-12 on Fridays in October and 10-9 on Sundays. Now after they updated the site, they are open from 5-12 on Fridays, and 10-8 on Sundays. Based on the 8pm closing time I would assume that FearFest will take place only on Fridays and Saturdays (or at least the niightly portions, they may have some of the indoor haunts open on Sunday). Also an interesting note is that the park will also be open Fridays in May this season as well from 5pm to 11pm. I can`t wait until opening day. Does anyone know if they are going to have a Gold Pass holder preview day the weekend before like they did last season? Quote
Skippy Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Did anyone else notice that PGA has now renamed their water park to Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay Beach Club with a flashy new logo?! If not visit pgathrills.com and check it out! Quote
Magic41445 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Since PKi's website doesn't detail the perks for gold pass holders, I checked out the perks from some of the other paramount parks. It seems as if PKD has, by far the best perks out of the entire group, and I'm hoping that we will be fortunate enough to get at least one. Some of the new benefits include, a bring a friend for free ticket after your fourth visit (i wonder if that is one ticket period or one after every subsequent four consecutive visits), and dicounted cup refills that will provide you with a cup for 4.99, and 95 cent refills for the rest of the season. Personally, if I had to choose one over the other, it would have to be the discounted refill perk. Due to how often I visit the park (for usually short durations), I have developed my own policy of always eating and drinking before I enter the gates so as to save money from the high prices that are really more geared for the tourist who have extra money to spend. So especially on those hot summer days it will be nice for me to break my rule every once in a while...95 cents is alot better to stomach than 2.75. Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best....2 out of 2 perks. Quote
Ben Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Though Vortex was not painted, it does look cool in that picture. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 That buy a cup for 4.95 and get refills for 95 cents the rest of the season is a good deal. It beats shelling out $2.75 out for a 20 oz every time! But you do have to lug it around the entire time. Quote
chaotichazard Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 Am I the only one getting the "we are currently offline for scheduled maintenance" page on the PKI main page? No your not the only one i am getting that too. Quote
italianchef Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 HEY!!!! No more videos! I used to watch the films of FoF and AE when I REALLY missed PKI. Now, the updated site doesn't offer any. Quote
