PKI to give free admission

[KIBeast]

Found the story over on coasterbuzz

This is a very nice thing for them to do. Although, at first I was thinking that these people had much more to worry about then spending a day at PKI. However, it might make at least one day for them to forget about their troubles. Very classy move.

While I take a somewhat cynical approach to the free park offer (see my CB post...), I think the really impressive thing is that Viacom donated $1,000,000 in cash to the Red Cross hurricane relief effort.

Viacom (with the $ and park admissions) is definitely acting as a good corporate citizen.

Yeah, I'm sure that some of these evacuees will use this to their advantage. It's only right that other parks should follow suit. Very good move by Paramount Parks.

I for one am very proud that pki is doinfg this because it might cheer the kids up that have lost everything.

This has to be one of the most noble things I've heard.

I think its good and all but I mean how good is it really with most of the paramount parks being no way near the distar area.

So is it just any day they want to come right?

Don't forget that a lot of the residents of the southern Mississippi and Louisana area are scattered around the country.

I think its any day.

Yea Boddah I guess your right but I dont see alot of people taking advantage of this. They are busy enough trying to keep people from looting what they do have and trying to rebuild their lives.

I agree it is a nice thing for them to do, but still kind of weird.

If anything, it's a good PR move.

I guess there will always be cynics in every group. I personally think this is a nice gesture by Paramount and that's all there is to it. Sure, it may not help that many people and may not be that practicle, but it was meant as a nice gesture to those affected and that's exactly what it is. I'm sure there are alot more people around the Paramount parks relocated than people think. Just in my town of Worthington, a small suburb of Columbus, there are some 10 relocated families according to a newspaper story; so I'm sure that in a city like Cincinnati that is a hundred times larger, there are probably a fair amount of relocated families.
