KIBeast Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ummm, taxi jam is still there. It's now called Little Bill's giggle coaster. The antique cars and flying eagles are what was where IJ:ST is located now. Not sure what you are talking about. And, it just ain't gonna happen. It is too new and popular of an installation to just be removed or moved. Too much money involved too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 While the park did lose two classic rides, the Italian Job: Stunt Track went over well with the general public, and was a big sucess. So much so that they installed yet another one at a sister park the next year. Sorry deafmonk, but like PKIBeast said, it aint gonna happen.

Gordon Bombay Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The Antique Cars is what you are trying to say. They are gone and the stunt track will not be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmonk19 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 at least can they relocate the anquete car? and build another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Its a posibility, they have some of the cars stil but not all of them. Cool things can happen though.

tubaman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 how? Like this! "I will not come back until they remove or relocate IJ:ST for the for Top Cats Taxi Jam. I always have fun on that. It took me about 4 hours to find it, but I noticed the stunt track and got angry at PKI! So I refuse to go there. Look at the next topic for PT please. Also, when I was watching the Go-Kart Racing, also known as Days of Thunder, I noticed the 'Tiques in the back of Days of Thunder under tarps." Why does this remind me of that guy who won't go to KI because the don't have a campground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 ^ ^ hahahaha, just means one less person infront of me in line... I personally am a big fan of IJ:ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I do like IJST, but I really miss seeing and riding thee Antique Cars. You would think, they would be relocated, and given a new home with a new track layout. Hay CP has two different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 They have three I think Cadillac Cars (near Raptor) Antique Cars (near Mine ride) Turnpike cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 ^Could be that one of those may wind up at KI some day. I think one of them was removed for Maverick, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Nope that was White Water Landing only ,(Cedar Points Kenton Cove ride). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Umm I think he means the Marathon Turnpike which was in HBL where Nick Theater is now at least thats what came to mind when I read his post. I will admit I strongly dislike stunt crap err track because it was a cheap installtion and its short and not that fun more of a waste of time.

BoddaH1994 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 For the love of Pete! He's talking about Les Taxis, the other side of the 'Tiques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstrwomann Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Relocate the antique cars somewhere else in the park and add a better track. IJST is a great addition to KI and it's very cool with the theming and fire. I love this coaster. It's one of my favorite rides at KI and I ride it every time I visit.

Gordon Bombay Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 ^IJST is not a cheap or crappy attraction by any means, it has great theming and is a great concept and went over very well with the general public! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often you and I disagree on these things Combat but IJST is not a lot to look at and really is not much of a coaster.

Scooter4Ever Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Aside from the fishtail and step effect (which never worked), what is not working on IT? And I doubt they will ever bring the 'Tiques back. When the ride first opened, it was considered a "family" ride. With kids attitudes today, the Antique Cars would barely be a "kiddie" ride. Ten years ago, rides like IT and Maverick would be "thrill" rides. Now they are considered "family" rides. Plus with gas prices going up and down, I doubt the 'tiques make much financial sense to bring back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzarley Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I think IJST is a pretty ok coaster...I enjoy my rides on it. I think it has two main problems: 1) It was way overhyped, and the marketing promised a lot more than it ever had a hope of delivering. Like CDBB and TR:TR before it, the pre-season marketing hyped it like it was the most "fantabulous, incredible, Hollywood-ized attraction in the history of the universe!!!" (I exaggerate, but you get my drift...) Fortunately, the days of outrageous hyperbole appear to be behind us now, so maybe future attractions won't suffer from the same type of promised vs. delivered disappointment. 2) It was placed in a terrible location. Of all the land available for development, they picked the absolute worst place to build it. A lot of what made KI such a pretty park really died the day they ripped out the 'tiques and replaced it with IJST. Of any decision made in the last 15 years at KI, I think the placement of IJST has to be #1 worst... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only worse choice could have been to rip out the Royal Fountain and put it in the middle of International Street. Had Paramount been around much longer, I'm guessing that would have happened.

shadow2k3 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I would tend to agree on IJST's placement. I mean, KI has plenty of land to expand on. They're not "Landlocked" like CP is, and Tiques happened to be quite a different take on the park experience. It was more of a wind-down ride than it was more of a "kiddy ride"; at least that's how it seemed to me. IJ is a decent coaster, as long as the theming works well. If not, it just takes away from the experience that was meant for it. Oh well, we'll see how CF sorts this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKlockster Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 ^IJST is not a cheap or crappy attraction by any means, it has great theming and is a great concept and went over very well with the general public! IJST was definately cheap. I have heard it cost about 3.5 million Canadian dollars - which isn't very much. Even if it cost more than that - it certainly didn't cost any more than Delirium or Tomb Raider - and no where near as much as Maverick. As for the thrill of IJST - that varies from person to person - but in my opinion - the IJST doesn't hold a candle to the 15 year old Adventure Express coaster.
