FOF/Z 4-ever Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 I dont know if this goes here or not and if it does not, I am sorry. Anyway, while i was searching for PKI's history, I came across this site. It lists all the accidents that we reported, not only at PKI, but in other parks too! It lists them from 1998 to present. In the address bar, you need to change the year to go to the next year or click the link at the bottom of each page to take you to the home page. I thought it was pretty interesting and you find out about some things that was never released to the public. Thought I would share! Have fun!
athf_S3 Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 nice find even thought i couldn't see anything about PKI but i will look again.
Jasper Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 You must have to look real hard. They dont have very many years.
pyrocoasterkid Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Well I was looking at ride accidents yesterday too, on the CoasterForce page, and a few things were interesting...I knew about The Beast incident. I knew a boy fell out of the Drop Zone at PGA, but did a man fall out of PKI's??? According to this page, there was (scroll to August 1999): Accidents Also, interesting was the fact that I don't see the accident where Top Gun hit the cherry picker or whatever. Whatever came of this? and what was found out about what happened?
Great America Guy Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 No-one ever fell out of PKI's Drop Zone. After the PGA incident, all Drop Zones in all Paramount Parks were closed until the PGA accident was investigated. Same with the accident on Shockwave at PKD, where the man fell out of the ride. When that happened, Paramount ordered King Cobra and Sky Rider(PCW) to close until investigation proved that the accident was not the fault of the ride.
kong fu guy Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 LOL they didnt put that Son of Beast got stuck on it helix.. and they didnt put that Vortex was stop right at the brakes before the corkscrew because all the OSTR were 1 click away from opening(may be 2) and they didnt put that TR:TR held riders upside down for 2 hrs. Im done lol.
Gordon Bombay Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 where do you have evidence of those claims? Particuarly The Vortex one where the OTSR's were "clicks" away from opening.
kong fu guy Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 O yes I know Vortex was 1 click away because they stop us and got me off and alot of other people because down the first drop al OSTR went up 3clicks you could hear it. And Son of Beast there was a photo of it in the last site but I couldnt find it. And TR:TR we all know that it got stuck upside down for 2hrs.
matth Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 ...Vortex was stop right at the brakes before the corkscrew because all the OSTR were 1 click away from opening(may be 2)... Here is another one of those engineers who knows how everything works; please explain how this works, can't do it? didn't think so. ..matt
kong fu guy Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 ^Poor kid..Thinks he knows every thing Its a shame.(You look weird to)
Gordon Bombay Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 ^Hes a mechanic at PKI and most employees on this site can vouch for that too. So Kong fu guy was probably jsut exaggerating about his time on Vortex, he tends to make stupid posts.
kong fu guy Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 OK..OK.. No I was really saying my prayers when it came to the loop.
Dolt932 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) Im with matt.. Where do you people come up with some of this stuff? Admin: Watch your language. Edited April 17, 2005 by Dane
kong fu guy Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 OMG Im telling the truth. I wish I had the photo of Son of Beast stuck in the helix and we all know that TR:TR got stuck up side down for 2hrs. Vortex did have to be stop because the OSTR were 1 or 2 click away from opening.
kong fu guy Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 well TR:TR happen after 2 weeks its been out and Vortex one happen in 2000 and SOB happen in 2003 or 2002
