It is for safety. And about the story someone said about the girl climbing out of the ride, thats proof that the restriction was probably too low. People shouldn't be able to escape a locked restraint. They're made to keep people in them.

You have a special title on a message board.....pat yourself on the back......do you sleep better at night being a dick to people on a message board? If you dont have anything to add to the discussion then just ignore it.

The sad part is, he requested that title, we didn't make it up for him. lol

Seriously, stop the flame war. Show respect to others' opinions on here.

We were yelling a pkiflife guy cause he was insulting ben.......respect others opinions? he didnt, we didnt cause he was being an ass, and Dxrunner had ntohing to do with it. He wasnt respecting anyone.

if the girl was able to escape a locked restraint...i agree should result in increased height restrictions. but they could also like make the restraints so there tighter on the kiddie rides. overall though, i guess it's reasonable b/c by the kids next visit (in being the next season) he most likely would have grown like a weed...making him eligible on the heightened restrictions. to be honest, all kids grow like weeds and one year is not gonna kill him. yea he'll prlly throw a hissy fit, but kids throw fits all the time.

Growing up you always have to wait for things. It’s part of life. Kids get disappointed all the time. I would rater them be upset than hurt! Think about that one.

I totally agree. I don't really understand why everyone is getting so mad about it. PKI is a family amusement park and I think they deserve praise for putting the family first in insuring greater safety. I just wish they would post reasons as to why they raised the height restrictions because there haven't been any accidents that I ever heard of. Maybe it's just because kids are getting hurt on them, but not hurt enough to make it public.
