Maureen just e-mailed me with some very interesting news! A new product will be available in PKI stores this weeked. We're talking about Kings Island-opoly! It features silver game tokens which are a carousel horse, coaster car, star, director's clipboard, boomerang, and much more! This retails for the every day low price of $30! Make sure to check it out on your next visit to Winterfest! This is definitely something for any PKI fanatic!

that is really neat, however, I would like a trivial pursuit too...

PKI Trivia would be awesome! Unfortunately, only a few of us would be able to answer most of the questions, and if they dumbed it down, it wouldn't be too fun.

I remember playing the old trivial pursuit, and the only way you learned that history, was if you played it many times... and got the same cards all the time...

you just get them... like Cranium...

Like I say, a roller coaster trivial pursuit game, or a PKI TP game...

which makes me think how funny it would be to TP a park... well, a bad park...

like a Six Flags that has been run down... hmm...

$30 seems about right for a custom board game, especially if its a limited exclusive.

Any bets on what is taking the place of "Boardwalk" for a long time it would have ben, without a doubt, "The Beast", these days I'm not so sure.

And what about "Jail", is that going to be "Caught Linejumping - go directly to Security"

I've already used my Winterfest ticket this year, so I too hope that they sell it this summer. I wonder if PKI has a service like Disney where they will take phone orders for gift shop items.

I paid 25 bucks for my Scooby-Doo Monopoly set 30 bucks is kinda steep for me at least.

Well I paid $40 for the exclusive Disney Theme Park Edition of Monopoly, but only $25 for the regular Disney Edition of Monopoly, so $30 sounds about right wink.gif Also, I paid $30 for Cedar Point-opoly, so maybe their just trying to match the price of competion. From what I can see, the higher price comes with the theme park exclusivity, while the cheaper versions can all be store bought, and PKI is being very reasonably! Sorry if it seems like I'm picking on you Scoob!

Anyways, I can't wait to get this but sadley I can't attend Winterfest and won't be able to pick up one this year sad.gif I really wish PKI had an online store for all their merchandise like Cedar Point's marketplace. I wonder if they'll have any new Nick Universe attractions on this? Maybe this is how they'll announce 2006's plans laugh.gif j/k I'm really excited to see how this turns out but I can only see one problem with this: PKI adds so much attractions every year that they'll constantly have to update it. I'm dieing to see what kind of job PKI's done with this biggrin.gif Can't wait!

TheRickster, maybe the Eiffel Tower will act as hotels in this huh.gif

Oops that was a type-o I ment 35 bucks not 25..but still I'd have to see what Kings Island-opoly looks like before I make up my mind I hope they will be selling this during the 2006 season.

Wow, I remember a mock up of PKI-opoly sitting in the Merchandise Buyer's office for at least two years, perhaps even longer. I am sort of surprised it took them 2 years to get this thing from concept to market, but then I am not the Merch Buyer, and I am sure there is a bunch of licensing issues that need to be solved. It was funny though, the concept board was just created on a computer, and then the printed sheets were taped to a Monopoly Board.

I bet this thing will sell, it is a collector item and draws from many demographics, be it enthusiasts, Monopoly collectors, and people just looking for a a neat souveneir.

It will certainly be interesting to see what attractions they have for the various spaces! I might buy this game, just for the sake of having the game. And it could add an exciting twist to the traditional Monopoly. I have played Cincinnati in a Box, the Cincinnati version of Monopoly. That game features several Cincinnati favorites, such as Parmount`s Kings Island, the Cincinnati Zoo, Coney Island, Aglamesies Bros. ice cream, Skyline Chili, and LaRosa`s among others.

Could you expect anything other than The Beast to be in the Boardwalk position? The Beast is what put Kings Island in the prime time as far as roller coasters go. That ride is still known across the country (Heck, it is still the longest roller coaster in the country, wood or steel).
