beastbreakdown Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Today my two friends and I decieded to take probably our last trip to pki before school is in session again. We arrived at 12, swiftly made our way through the medal detectors and stopped into the Skyline on International Street for lunch. The service was good, and I was happy. After "Skyline time," Action Zone was the next destination, after purchasing a locker for the day. We thought it would be a good idea to start our day off with a bit of an adrenalin rush so we headed for Drop Zone. It was about a 15 minute wait, and as always delivered a rush. Usualy after Drop Zone we would have headed for Son of Beast but as we all know that couldn't happen. So we walked over to Delirum and as we were waiting I saw a SOB train go up the first hill, so I guess they were doing some tests. Leaving Delirum we wandered off towards Coney Mall, but a "$10 special for Sling Shot" caught our attention. The skys were gray and rain started to fall but we waiting in line and soon enough we were next. During the launch of the people infront of us, the springs made a strange noise so maintenance was called and after a 10 minute wait the ride was clear for operation. Right before we were strapped into the seats, Thunder struck the ears. The ride opps decieded to hurry up and launch us anyways and boy did they do that fast. Soon enough we were hurtling towards the heavens, then free falling towards the ground, and bouncing right back. We both glanced to the west and saw the storm that had passed over us quietly but soon erupted after passing. Overall it was worth the 10 dollars. After safly returning to earth we set out for one of the classics, The Racer. Boarding the Backwards Racer quite quickly, we found ourselves doweling the forwards and catching some serious air time. It was a super ride from the some what wet tracks. Whats better to do when you just got off a great coaster? Go on another one! The Beast! As we travel to The Beast we pass by the the new 3-point shot game, it is pretty cool IMO. The Beast was out in full rage today, with wet tracks the ride was faster than ever and truely gave a new and unique ride experience to a ride I have ridden houndreds of times. After leaving The Beast it felt very hot and sticky so we go and pick up our stuff from the lockers and board the train for Boomerang Bay. After the train ride(which I discovered they have new speakers and a new sound track for the train cars which was pretty nice) we quickly changed and found some chairs to put our stuff on. Tazmanian Typhoon was our next heading, on arrival we were informed that 3 can not ride in a raft, it would have to be two and one go seperate, so we decieded to walk away. The three of us walked all the way to Snowy River Rampage, waiting about 10 minutes to get on, and had a super time on the ride. And at this point in the report I get to the one of the things that somewhat annoyed me, the Lazy River. The fact you can only go arround once and have to get off is kinda pathetic, I mean almost every other water park I have been to lets you float along as long as you want but nope not at pki. This was the end of our voyage to the water park, we gathered our things, dried off, and boarded the train to go back to the park. After arrival and listening to some sweet tunes on the train (Land Downunder by Men at Work) we embarked on a short walk to White Water Canyon. While in line two 19 year old guys decieded to light up right next to a clearly posted non-smoking sign, and with 4 young girls behind them. This truely annoyed me, I mean honestly no one wants to smell that, and there is designated areas but I guess they are just to "cool" to abide to the rules. Once we were in our boat/raft the fun began. I started to rethink of "oh wow its cool they fixed all the water canons and updated the shooting areas" because that in return soaked me head to toe. At this point it was about 5:45 so we set off for the Larosas on International Street, and sat down by the fountains and had a nice $14(two slices of pizza, fries, and a sports drink) dinner I guess you could say. Short after that we got another ride on Delrium, returned the key to the Locker rental, and made our way out of the park. over all it was about a 7 hour trip filled with fun, great memories, and a nice way to end summer break. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 we pass by the the new 3-point shot game, it is pretty cool IMO. Oh yeah it is really cool, but mighty exhausting to work, you come by and watch us sometime when we have people going off every 40 seconds and see, if your not in shape working it catches up with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much activeness in the blazing heat. Kudos to those that do. Sounds like a nice trip. Glad you had fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've seen sling shoot down to $5.00 this year twice. At the time I was in a rush so didn't take advantage of it. But next time I see that price, I'll just haft to stop and smell the rush of air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well it doesn't get down to that price very often so when you do see it buy the ticket and come back if you can that same day. The only days that is is like that is on maybe slow rainy mornings or on a day when it has absolutely poured for multiple hours and there is like nobody left in the park.

I Didn't know we could buy tickets, then come back later in the day. Thanks, good to know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 No problem, just make sure that you show the attendant out there your ticket cause they kind of control the line. Also don't lose the ticket cause I don't think you will get your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
