pkd804 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 http://www.screamscape.com/html/pkd_-_italian_job_0.htm Make sure to press the next buttons at the top to see all the pics... Oh yeah, the reason I think pki is in a better location than pkd is because.... 1. Ohio has a bigger population than Virginia because look how many members are on this forum as pki fans (1,730 members!) 2. Ohians are more "respectful" than Virginians because theres grafetii all over pkd? 3. Virginia is gehtoo and it shows a bad side of pkd as a family park.

jzarley Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Well, you have to admit that it makes sense that most people on this site are PKI fans...it is a PKI fan site after all. While OH has a bigger population than VA, PKD still draws from a larger regional market. (The population of the DC metro area alone is over 5 million...about 50% of the entire population of Ohio in one metro area just 75 miles from PKD...) I will grant you the "respectful" part of of your post...not to put down other parks, but I've always found the crowds at PKI to be very orderly and respectful. There's a few bad eggs in every crowd, but by and large the guests at PKI seem to follow the rules... Joel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 On my trips to PKD it seemed that the PKD population would have a longer drive than the PKI population. I wonder what the attendance was at opening at PKD and how it has changed. PKI has gone up 1.5 mil over the years, what has PKD done? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkd804 Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Like I said. Virginia is a very gehtoo state! You will likely find gehtoo people at pkd everywhere you look. You can't miss them... You should see how gehtoo the schools are in Virginia too. We got people cussin to the teacher beating up teachers, disrespecting all day long. They got so stricked this year and Choas still won't stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think this guy means ghetto :-\ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 If your using ghetto to as a term to refer to African Americans, I take really strong offense to that as I am one and not all of us are as stupid and awful acting as you seem to assume and claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkd804 Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 ^Um, no... Im not racies and will never be a racies. Im saying that like everyone including, blacks, whites, asian, spanish are all ghetto. If you ever go to pkd you will find all diff kinds of people being ghetto, dressed ghetto, acting ghetto. Back on topic... I got mail from pkd like 2 days ago when I opened the mailbox. It's advertising Italian Job: Stunt Coaster so I guess that is 100% the name it will have. Sounds cheasy but oh well... gray track but probally the same layout and ride. Im still hoping its not the same layout and theme. We need a diff one... not 3 of them!!!

Captain Picard Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 So you think pkd is the only park that has all diff kinds of people. As for the need of a diff one, I don't see it because you must not get out much and would never be on one of the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 So you think pkd is the only park that has all diff kinds of people. As for the need of a diff one, I don't see it because you must not get out much and would never be on one of the others. There's no point in having two cloned rides that are relatively close together. I'd much rather make a special trip to PKD if Sunt Coaster was different from Stunt Track than drive all the way to PKD and ride the same ride AGAIN just with a different name and different track colors. That's why I would want to drive 4 hours to PKD just to ride TR: Firefall, because it's a different experience than TR:TR at PKI! And why exactly did PCW get IJ:ST in the first place? Rather, they should have given it to PGA to make up for the loss of Stealth (PC's Borg Assimilator). PCW already built Tomb Raider the year before (even though that's a worthless piece of crap), so they don't need IJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 530 miles pki to pkd is relatively close together. It takes me 8hrs to drive to pkd from 200 miles closer than you. How can you do it in 4 from Mason? I was saying that it would be of no need to be different for pkd804. Pkd804 don't get out much if he thinks pkd is the only place diff people go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 "^Um, no... Im not racies and will never be a racies." I think you mean racist. Did everyone on this board fail basic English and grammar? I'm starting to think a bunch of you did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I was saying that it would be of no need to be different for pkd804. Pkd804 don't get out much if he thinks pkd is the only place diff people go. I don't even think we live in the same Virginia let alone go to the same Kings Dominion... Sure any crowd will have selective "misfits" but this by no means makes all of Virginia ghetto. I know for a fact that Northern Virginia (where I'm from) is a very nice area, so pkd804 must come from one of the not so great areas (aka the 804 area?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The reason PCW probably got IJST this year was its performance. PCW was the number 2 Paramount Park, just a few notches behind PKI. While PGA could have benefitted from the ride, they are in the process of building up their waterpark to attract more families. That being said, I would ot be surprised if within the next couple of years, that all 5 Paramount Parks didn`t have IJST, (although it may be known as slightly different names at each park).

Yeah, sorry about the 4 hours thing. I should have put down 5+ hours instead of 4. Thanks for correcting me, Picard. What's he mean by "different people?" I'm confused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkd804 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Yes, exacaly the 804 area. Look at my username...

Firefall Pkd Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 ^I think I come down and see enough considering I live and go to school in Richmond now, VCU! Different people, yes. Ghetto, no. Sure I'd say Richmond isn't the greatest city on earth, but it's deffinately not the worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
