Gordon Bombay Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 X flight has not been confirmed or announced by the park.....for all you know it could be a staging area....if the track is there....no photos yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 you're kidding me. there are five eye-sight-witensses saying there is track. The track is THERE. It doesn't matter if the park announces or not... there is track on the lot, track on (1) truck and a skid-loader in the Gold Pass parking area. It's not top secret or they would have deposited it somewhere out of view of 10,000 cars an hour on I-71. Radio a trucker going by... they'll confirm. Say "it's neon green.... can you confirm this sighting?????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I was over at KI and saw the bright neon green metal track in the parking lot by the construction area. Also the guy I spoke with in HR confirmed it to the best of his knowledge. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Getting a little testy, aren't you? All Ronny is saying is that there's been nothing confirmed by the park. We KNOW there's been five people that have seen it...what remains to be seen is an official release from the park, which would then make it official. Until then, anything is game..however unlikely "anything" may be. You just need to hold your horses.

Gordon Bombay Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 ^Exactly, all I said was the park has not announced ANYTHING yet, sure theres track there, but theres also a pipeline coaster thats been sitting in Six Flags America's lot for the past two years and they havent said what theyre doing with it. Everyone relax, be patient, and within the hour I guarantee you PKIC will not dissapoint you with some news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 oh... not testy. just imagine Elmer grabbing the shotgun going after the rabbit. Just kidding, all in good humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaman Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just wanted to let yall know PKIC should have the pics up within a half an hour, and keep in mind your not allowed to tresspass on the park property, not even in the park and ride area. We had permission from the park and should be updating within the hour. From EPKI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 well, and with all due respect, KI is not Six Flags (thankfully). Didn't they have all of the Opryland "relics" in a lot for the supposed Six Flags Indiana for a few years until the announced that it was never going to happen.... and all the coasters went King Cobra on them from exposure? Ronny... I have no idea if that's your name- I know that you're trying to keep the rumor-mill from running rampant... moreso than it already has- and that you are probably one of those "in the know" folks that don't "react" when a mysterious piece of track ventures down the road. Know that my pokes are all in good humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ha. I just read over at http://www.geaugaguide.com : * X-Flight is NOT leaving and those who say it is are rumor mongers and trouble makers. * PKI employees can't be taught to run the ride. It is VERY difficult to run. I know it's true, I read it on the web! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I agree... they are dismantling the coaster to delicately clean it, piece by piece. That is the kind of attention to detail that the Geauga folks do. The park is usually so packed that they get a chance to do that to all the rides between patrons.

It is VERY difficult to run. I know it's true, I read it on the web! That is horrible, how PKI can't run it. I'd just like to add on their forum, theres a little topic called: "Geauga Lake Worker Took Nude Photos Of Co-Workers" Ya, your right. PKI can't run it. http://www.geaugaguide.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Smith Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 What strikes me is the fact that no clue about the new name has leaked out or been deciphered by the coaster enthusiast community. Contrast that to Maverick, which was fairly figured out before principal construction had even begun. Apparently, Cedar Fair has wised up.

The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Or, more likely, Cedar Fair WANTED the Maverick name out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortexdemon05 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 i hope the X-flight station comes too it looks cool just change that X-Flight sign too something cooler. anyways i bet that person who said X-Flight is NOT leaving and those who say it is are rumor mongers and trouble makers. PKI employees can't be taught to run the ride. It is VERY difficult to run. feels stupid now, now that the track is almost completely gone plus now at Kings Island. but you have to remember that was created what in November? I'm just happy we get a coaster for the 2007 season. I'm going to love PKI's 35 anniversary!!!! i never liked CF when they took over Kings Island with all of the rules but seriously now I'm happy for them taking over... GOOD BYE PARAMOUNT (even though i liked what Paramount did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 theres track in the lot and thats official enough for me Just a note...there was track in Geauga Lake's lot, too. And track in a lot at Six Flags Marine World for a very long time (from Paramount's Great America). Eventually, it left. Never installed. From their Schwarzkoph. All in due time.

s10ryan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 yeah but with the cleared land beside FOF,the track setting in the lot and the news reporting on it.......it all fits together like a puzzle. if it doesnt happen, ill be surprised...no need to beat around the bush when the obvioius is right in front of us.

RailRider Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 ^ Havent you heard they cleared the land to put Flying Eagles and Tiques back in. These pics are of the staging area for the X-Flight track to be sent to MiA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
