pkiboy Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Yea they mean Valentines Day. Great day for the aouncement.
fryler87 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Problem Park? Did anyone else bust out laughing like I did after seeing that?
PKIVortex Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 What does that suspose to mean? Problem Park? Also I think the announcment will still take place on January 26th. Why else would they put in on the calander for that day?
mutedarkness Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 That is a weird story to report on... kinda like what they did with maverick
PKIVortex Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 What I still don't understand, what is the big issue of waiting so long to announce what's coming to KI in 2007? You'd think it would be better to just announce it already.
mutedarkness Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 People forget a lot. you gotta keep that interest rolling I guess. If they do more stories like that it sparks more interest and people would really care what the park is getting.
PKIVortex Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I will really be surprised if it aint X-Flight coming to Kings Island. Hopefully we will find out in a week.
Captain Picard Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 It's almost like they are getting there news from PKI Central.com forums.
Avatar Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 They would have never ran that story if it wasn’t coming news organizations have better things to do with their valuable airtime than speculate on moving coaster rumors. That right there was the long awaited announcement as to is GL X-Flight coming to Kings Island. Now when Kings Island decides to get around to it they can give us the more intricate details about it s arrival and name. But that was the pre announcement to perk interest with the general public, but never the less it was an announcement, for those who can read between the lines.
PREMiERdrum Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Exactly! Working in the newsmedia I can add... No decent news organization would air that if it were not at least "semi-confirmed." While I doubt the KI people called them and said "Hey, tease the public with some XFlight stuff, we'll announce it next week," these media types have a very cryptic way of saying things without actually saying them. That said, I still expect the announcement on the 26th, and I think their "next month" statement was lost in translation.
CoastersNSich Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Directly from WLWT: http://www.wlwt.com/video/10796221/index.html You will have to pass through some other stories, but there is a "fast forward" function available. Problem Park? Did anyone else bust out laughing like I did after seeing that? WTF?! They should have said "New Coaster?" The "Problem Park?" headline apparently got recycled from their past story on that one altercation at Great Wolf Lodge.
Vortex Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 So can we take X-Flight off the rumors page now?
Mr.Son of Beast Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Nah,who really cares?They're just fine where they are.
PhantomTheater Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 It's almost like they are getting there news from PKI Central.com forums. PKI Central, the most trusted source for Kings Island news. Any way this is looking pretty good for X-Flight that its coming to KI, i enjoyed the comment the newscaser made about laying on your back looking into the sun, ain't that the truth.
PREMiERdrum Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 More track is down, horseshoe turn and last turn going into the station. Theres 2 new pics on geaugalaketoday.
UncleHenry Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Didn't you guys know? PKI's new slogan for the 2007 season is... "Paramount's Kings Island; The Problem Park"
WooferBearATL Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Bahhhh! I just spit beer all over my computer screen!
The Interpreter Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I bet in Kinzel's office, the "Problem Park" is where X-Flight is leaving from...
pkiboy Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I know im off topic but this topic is almost 50 pages. This could be the topic of the year. Lets make it 50 pages by Friday.
Reclaimer Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Well, if the announcement is Friday as we seem to be thinking right now...I wouldn't be surprised if we hit that goal.
tubaman Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Heck, if we just got one more picture of Fort Copper we could hit that goal easily. Tubaman - Doing his part to make this thread get to 50 pages
mutedarkness Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 What colors do you think the ride will be?
CoastersNSich Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Well, if the announcement is Friday as we seem to be thinking right now...I wouldn't be surprised if we hit that goal. I think that's likely as ACE's No Coaster Con will be in the Chicago area the next day. IMO they don't look good keeping people, especially enthusiasts, hanging for too long, especially when there's an opportunity to show off your park and new attraction(s).
KIfan73 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I think the area should be themed to the Brady Bunch. FOF would become "Flight of Cheer". The cars would look like the Brady's station wagon, and there would be scenes from the show inside the building. X-Flight would become "Alice's Clothesline: Hung out to Dry".
tubaman Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 What colors do you think the ride will be? Purple and School Hallway White

X-Flight would become "Alice's Clothesline: Hung out to Dry". haha that would amazing What colors do you think the ride will be? Purple and School Hallway White is school hallway white REALLLY white or kinda yellowy?
tycoonrebel7188 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Ok, since we're going with the brady bunch theme here, how about brown supports with orange track, and then they could pad the shoulder restraints with tiedie shag carpet.
RingMaster Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 What colors do you think the ride will be? Purple and School Hallway White is school hallway white REALLLY white or kinda yellowy? Depends on how new/old the school is. 2000-up school? Super white. 1999-back? Smoker's teeth Yellow. ....that should be a new Crayola color, Smoker's Teeth.
