Captain Nemo Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I was recently on the main Great America site when I remembered that they had not yet announced their 2006 attraction, so I clicked on their New for 2006 link and like it says, Something great will be announced soon. http://www.pgathrills.com/ Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Whats PGA getting in 06 and PKD? All I know so far is NU for KI and MI stunt show for PCW hopefully more will be announced soon so we can talk in more acronyms. Quote

harvesterofyoursorrow Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 This was also reported in the "In The Loop" podcast today. Rumored to be 500 feet tall rocket with around 135 mph. Quote
SixFlagsMasta Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 the 500ft. coaster rumor is for SFGAm Quote

All I know so far is NU for KI and MI stunt show for PCW hopefully more will be announced soon so we can talk in more acronyms. PKD is getting Italian Job: Stunt Coaster TSIAUIA (to sum it all up in acronyms): PKI: NU PCW: MI PKD: IJ:SC PC: BB PGA: TBA Quote
RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Well since PGA hasnt got any coasters or any darkrides I'd say they will get that spongebob coaster everyone wants on this site. Quote
pkiboy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Looks like the web sites have a new look. http://pki.com/ http://www.carowinds.com/ http://www.pgathrills.com/ http://www.kingsdominion.com/ http://www.canadas-wonderland.com/ Quote
Carowinds2005 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Actually PC and PKI has been "new" since the beginning of Winterfest. The rest of the parks changed today. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Carowinds is getting thier Water Works water park expanded into Boomerang Bay, the only mystery now is what is PGA getting? A strata coaster that towers 500 ft is tottaly out of the question, if it was a major coaster, construction wouldve probably been noticed by now. Quote
Face/OffJZ Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 no way for a Paramounts coaster to get a 500 ft coaster there would deff. be wayyyy more taalk about this Quote
SixFlagsMasta Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 once again.. the rumor for the strata was for six flags great america.. not paramount's Quote
AamieAndShawn Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 This is the only Paramount Park me and the wife have never been to. I remember going to Kings Dominion on a saturday driving at night to go to Carrowinds on a Sunday. 2 parks in one week end is cool. they are about 5 hours apart. Quote
Skippy Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Well since PGA hasnt got any coasters or any darkrides I'd say they will get that spongebob coaster everyone wants on this site. I think your right Too bad for PKI though! Quote
Delirium_Guy Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I believe they will get a dark ride. Seeing as how they are the only park in the chain that lacks the Scooby Doo dark ride, could be a possibility. No doubt it'll be better than the dollar store version that we got at PKI. Secondly, I keep hearing they are getting the same Disko Coaster that PKI is rumored to be receiving. I'd be inclined to say that one is very likely, Paramount seems to purchase in pairs. Quote

Scooby_Doo Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I think Paramount's Great America will get a Spongebob themed dark ride I also have a gut feeling that those spongebob darkrides will start to replace the scooby doo ones at parmount parks. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 ^That sounds like a very good possibility scoob, good point. Quote

Skippy Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Here's some bad things about us receiving Crash Course Boating School as a Scooby replacement: 1) Our darkride count won't get any higher 2) The building housing Scooby isn't really coaster compatible (unless launch)! 3) This will eliminate the only interactive ride in PKI (although it only works half the time) 4) It wouldn't be included as part of the "highly themed "SpongeBob neighborhood! 5) This would eliminate PKI's only haunted house attraction outside of Fearfest... *Keep in mind 5 wouldn't apply if PKI were to get the Addams Family Reunion Coaster* I like Scooby, I find it quite enjoyable when it's working properly From what I hear though, we have the worst of them all because of the ride vehicles, which really is disappointing because they look and run bad when compared to the others as PKI's ominimovers were originally built for a scenic darkride (not a fast paced game). Our Scooby needs not replaced but really only an upgrade and more animatronics instead of wooden cutouts If PKI keeps up tradition, then we should see a replacement (unfortunatly) in the not so distant future, ending Scooby's stay at PKI forever!

Gordon Bombay Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 PKD's scooby is so much better, I dont see why they didnt just re-themed some of the Phantom Theatre animatronics to work with the scooby theme, the carboard looking cut outs are dissapointing. Quote
