The Beach Crack on BB?

Recommended Posts

i heard it on the radio... the competition between BB and the Beach will heat up in the future... now that PKI has a highly marketable waterpark, i think The Beach needs to add more than what they did this year (cant recall exactly what it was, but it isnt much). They need a major expansion and maybe a master blaster or something of that magnitude to keep up. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens... but i think BB is really going to hurt the beach since it is free with park admission and with a season pass.

i've been shocked that the beach is still open for a while now, even before bb.

What you have to understand is that the Beach is family owned, so even if it only tured 20,000 of profit net in one year, that's still 20,000 in this family's pocket. They're not trying to please stockholders like Viacom is.

I'm sitting here listening to commercials on MTV and a commercial for the Beach just came on and I could of sworn they said "Don't waste your time at Sea Boring Bay!" Anybody else see this commercial?

You heard right!I was watching Scooby-Doo on Cartoon Network and well the beach commercial came on and thats exactly what it said!

The Beach is adding one major new ride this year, Volcanic Panic, which is a water slide. Aside that, there are also a few small changes. To learn what's new at The Beach this year, please read the article below written by PKIC's most famous freelance travel writer.

I my opinion PKI should drop the water park all together...There is no need for it and The Beach is nice enough for everyone...What should happen is that Viacom should get together with The Beach and work out something so Season pass holders can get into the Beach.

I've been to ALL the other parammont parks this year and let me tell ya...There water parks are horrendous...Small and not clean at all. PKI needs to concentrate on thier coasters and the REAL attractions that bring people to thier park. After riding some of the coasters at other Paramount parks...YOU would NEVER imagine that PKI is their biggest park and draws the most money...With rides like SOB...I mean the only reason people ride this is so they can say they did...I can't imagine why ayone would like this ride...It feels like you just got into a fight with Mike Tyson after you get off of it. and Face Off...I mean as cool as it is...Is nothing after riding a ride like Top Gun @ Carowinds...And how many people you think a flying coaster would bring to PKI...Or how bout a hyper coaster...I belive the water park would be a perfect place for 1 or 2 of these.

After going to the other parks I must say that there are now only 2 coasters I like at PKI now 1. The Beast & 2. The Vortex...All the others are put to shame by the rides in the other parks. I do believe that PKI says they are not in the coaster race because they know there is NO WAY they could compete with some place like Ceader Point...Or any REAL coaster park for that matter.
