Admiral Ackbar Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Park was pretty dead today. I got to ride a bunch of things. Vortex - 4 Rides Shake, Rattle & Roll - 2 Rides Zephyr Flight of Fear - 3 Rides Monster Scrambler Racer Forward Racer Backward - 2 Rides Adventure Express Delirium Son of Beast - 2 Rides Top Gun Italian Job: Stunt Track Tomb Raider I did all this plus BSed with some friends all in five hours. I couldn't believe how light the traffic was. Man where was everyone? Oh yeah - it was GE day - it was closed to the General Public... Good thing I have some friends who work for GE! Guess you guys will have to wait till October... Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubaman Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Is there anyway to find out what company is renting the park? My youth leader wanted to go on a trip up there. I told her it would probly be closed, but she said "Oh, they would'nt rent out on the weekends." Well its gonna be closed that day. Anyways my mom and her friends went to PKI oneday when it had been rented out without looking at the calender, but managed to ge tickets to the event by a person who felt sorry for her and her friends. Is it possible to get tickets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Probably not real likely you'll get any sympathy tickets during September. It's one of those things that they plaster over everything: The park is closed during September. If it was some random day or weekend over the summer, when the park is usually open during that time, then it may be more likely you'd get a sympathy ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Snapper Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Yeah i noticed it wastn very crowded today at WWC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well this upcoming weekend, Procter & Gamble has rented out the park. These companies must pay some big bucks to rent out the park. (Even at Coney Island this past weekend, we were closed to the public on Saturday, and only open to Children`s Hospital employees and their families (all 11,000 of them, which is not fun at a park the size of Coney!)).

Admiral Ackbar Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Yeah thats a lot of people to stuff into Coney Island. Even at SFKK, 11K is a healthy number. The trick is to have some friends that work for some of these companies that rent out the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 It's not worth it to try to get into the park in September unless you are with the companies that bought it out. It's a sellout and it's posted everywhere that it's closed to the public, so there really is no excuse to showing up. Even the marquee out side says "Park Closed Today, Private Event". Did you happen to see the sky diver on 9-11? It was pretty cool. The park played Lee Greenwood and the guy jumped out of the plan with a big red smoke trail following him and he unravlled the flag and landed behind the Tower. It was really neat to see.

HaUsTy83 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Procter & Gamble day was very crowded last year just like a crowded weekend in the summer on Saturday would be. Waits were about hour to hour half almost. I got there around noon last year and that was proably my problem. I'm looking forward to going this Saturday got tickets from my mom. Another visit free I get to enjoy this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I didn`t think it was crowded last year. A little more busy than a typical summer weekday, but not quite as busy as a weekend (certainly nowhere near the crowds that will be in the park in October).

The Interpreter Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah thats a lot of people to stuff into Coney Island. Even at SFKK, 11K is a healthy number.... These days, 11k at Ed Hart & Co.'s New Kentucky Kingdom would be cause for joyous dancing in the streets of both Louisville and Frankfort. Unless you mean $11,000 revenue for the day. (By all accounts, several Kentucky State Fair days didn't even produce that). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Holy thread bump Batman. I opened this up and saw where the OP stated he rode the backwards Racer twice and nearly crapped myself seeing if I could get a 2nd job with GE next season. They wouldn't even half to pay me, just let me relive my youth a bit. But alas, I see the date, no such luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
