Captain Nemo Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Time for an ultimate TR! On the date of 10/22/05, at about 4:20 PM the best Trip to PKI was to begin. Captain Nemo Met up Legend Rider and his groupie at Rivertown, We sat around talking before taking a walk around the park. The Legend Bought some candy and asked why I didn't buy any. I believe he thought it wasn't Kosher. ANYWAY... Alien seed met up with us while we were looking at a train worth $1000, don't ask. This was about one hour into the trip and still no rides. But we finally got to some rides. First up was Adventure Express. Line was not bad at all. I sat in the last car, front seat. During the ride I noticed some thing working, And it really made the ride a lot more fun. The Arrows that move forward and back before the 1st lift were working and there were new lights in the 3rd tunnel. The last lift (everyones favorite) also had new lights to brighten things up. We walked along the Coney Mall strip when I noticed we were being followed. Dun dun dunn!!! No, it wasn't one of those guys that followed you during fearfest. It was another fellow PKI fan, PKIDelirum (owner of EPKI). Our group was getting larger. We were in front of the FX Theater entrance so we entered the line to ride Circus of Horrors. Scattered throughout the grassy areas of the line were some of our long lost Phantom Theater Characters. It was very strange to walk by our good old Phantom Theater characters but it brought back good memories. The grand part of it was to hear the PT music inside the building. After about a 10 Minute wait for CoH, we entered. The ride itself had many bland parts and IMO I would choose Superstition over this. It was beginning to get dark when we exited the FX building and the fog was beginning to turn our park into FEARFEST! With that, We went through Corn stalkers and headed toward the Festhaus to eat. I ate some salad while the rest had some "Pezza" and they made it apparent that they were making fun of me by calling it "pezza". After they were done eating their pIzza, we headed back to Coney mall to ride... The Vortex! Line was about 20 minutes. Klockster was there and we had a little chat-chit, I sat in the back along with Legend Rider. Alien Seed and PKIDelirium sat in front of us. We got MEGA air time in the back, it left both LR and I in shock after the first drop. It was time to ride The Beast! It was about a 30 Minute wait. We saw The Snapper (WHO-DEY) and Combat stupendous. Combat joined us making the group bigger, and after about a thrilling 30 seconds, he left. There was some natural fog from the river which made the experience so much more thrilling. The ride just keeps on getting better and better. Speaking of something better... We headed to Tomb Raider: The Ride. We sat in the middle row and had a blast. The night was not done yet for it was time to ride Face/Off. With a wait time of 20-30 Minutes it was well worth it. With less that an hour left, we headed to Flight of Fear but sadly I had to leave just before all of us got on. It was great to hang out and see almost all the members from PKIC/EPKI. I can't wait to see the pictures of that night. With this, I end my Trip Report featuring... The Legend, The Captain, The Alien, And Mod.

TheKlockster Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I told you that air in the back of Vortex is great! Best air I have ever had. Well I have had more intense air on Tornado at Stricker's Grove but it sucked cause it was painful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah. CombatStupendous, who was that that checked my bar on The Beast that said they know me? I heard you telling him I post on PKIC. Overall, today was a cold, but fun day at the park for me. (Bummer they closed at 4, but there was absolutely nobody there). I rode almost every major coaster in the two hours I was there today.

Captain Nemo Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 The Trip is not over yet! You haven't heard the trip home from PKI. I leave the park at 12:07 and head home. It is about a 25 minute drive. I was very hungry and looked for a fast food place. I decided to go get something at Wandy's. I went to order my food at the drive-through... A Spicy chicken Sangwich (ketchup only), and fries. I pull up the pay and everything is good when I notice a car pulling into the lot. This guy in the car gets out and starts walking up the the window they hand your food. He walks in front of the car ahead of me a knocks on the window. I don't hear what is being said but I could guess it was about his food. The tone of his voice starts to escalate and soon is cussing and making threats. The manager, who was at the pick-up window closes it. This is when the person outside the window punched it and broke it. The manager says he is calling the police, with that the guy outside the window runs to his car, opens his car window and throws out his food then drives away. The good news is that I got home, and with food! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
