The-Snapper Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 ^^^ Oh boy....here we go... shut up u dumb a$$ Quote
TheKlockster Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Cool link. I think it is a good improvement for the Flyers. They will get alot more attention down there, and they got a good facelift. I hope to be able to check them out when I am down there sometime. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Please they are gone can we move on to something else yet? Quote
KIBeast Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Obviously, some people have a hard time of letting things go. Wow, the scooters in action; I nearly crapped my pants. Quote
familyman Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 ^ I agree, how many different topics do we need on this ride in another park? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I mean what would you rather have a little ride that goes around in circles or a coaster? Quote
familyman Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 That is my point exactly. If you’re from the other park that received the ride I am happy for you. We have seen it and it’s gone already. Yes many of us are sad but instead of celebrating the addition of some new flats and kiddy rides were about to ride one of the best themed scream machines to hit a park. Spam your own boards with this stuff. Quote

Vortex Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Well if you have a gold pass you can visit the park for free and get a ride on the flyers so its not realy a loss for anyone. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Some of yout tourists just wouldn't understand.... then help me understand.... Well, we've been through this a million times, so I'll just give you a breif rundown. First of all, it's a part of history. It's been in the Cincy area for 70+ years, so I really don't need to give you a speal about its legacy. I've made a lot of good friends in line for the ride. I think a lot of people can relate to this. If it weren't for the eagles, I probably wouldn't have ever reallly known people like The-Snapper, Delirium_Guy, Coasterdime, Toad, Karen, etc... that list can go on forever. Not only was it a great ride, it was a staple of a lot of our friendships. Little known fact -- Dane met ZosoBeast in line for the Eagles, because of that, he asked him to join our Beastbuzz team, which eventually work into him being on our staff. Hell, I don't know if you guys have noticed or not, but he has brought a LOT to the table for you guys, and loosely due to the Eagles, PKIC, as the product that you are looking at today, wouldn't be as good. I guess the main thing is, everyone who says the people just need to let it go really didn't have the opportunity to join is in a Flyer-fest as a nightly event. Every night was a new experience, and every night topped the night before. I really couldn't ask for more in terms of a good time. In saying that "tourists" wouldn't understand, I didn't mean that as being insulting. I'm just saying that for most people, it was a great ride which was collectively part of a selection of great rides. Anyone who didn't go to the park a lot during the season could easily overlook what the ride stood for and meant to us. I mean, it didn't have to be a ride... just think back to when you were younger, or even to what you do now. Isn't there, or wasn't there a place where you and your clique of friends meet or met up every day? I mean, whether it's a Bisch-Rocco Flying Scooters or a statue in the middle of town, the collective spot has a special meaning, or staple, to you personally as well as your friends. You may or may not understand this, but because of all of these experiences, that ride, from the commonly fought over #2 tub to those past couple of feet of queue line that sparked your anticipation, was a sacred place to a lot of us that is now dead and gone.

AZ Kinda Guy Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 I'm not a tourist and I understand just fine...But also, on the same end, it's a machine and nothing to cry and wimper over...The irony? It's now leveld out dirt with nothing left but the fence the surrounded it. Quote

Coasterfan Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 It was special to alot of people, including me. It has been there longer than I have been going to the park. To me, it was the flat of all flats at PKI. I remember the first time I look my little brother on them, he though I was going to kill us! I for one will miss the Flyers. Quote
