Hey, I'm new to PKI and I was wondering if the games at PKI are rigged at all. There's a small park where I come from and the games are so obviously faked... I mean, if you do the sledgehammer thing like they have at PKI, if a guy goes, he almost never wins, but you can get a 4 year old girl and she'd make it all the way up. I haven't tried the games at PKI yet, but that is one of my favorite things about parks. Are there tricks to any of them?

With the basketball games they are double rimmed, which in essence, hit the rim it will miss 9-10 times, other games its just pure chance, goblet toss for example. they games arnt "rigged" persay, but they dont go out of there way to make it easy. There are nation wide commities these days that will go to parks around the nation sometimes with out prior warning to check games to see if they are rigged. if found rigged by these commities parks can face a fine

True, they can't be "rigged" per se, but it's totally fair to make things look a lot simpler than they really are. I mean, look at Jacob's Ladder next to Adventure. They tell you how to win and even show you, but most people still can't do it. Granted, the associate IS telling you the proper way to win... quite possibly the only way to win, but it's kind of an "easier said than done" situation. These guys have practice. Hope this helps.

I was playing this one game at PKI in Coney Mall, there were white, bule, pink, and green cups and I needed to land a ball on a bule, pink or green cup, well one of the balls, landed in a white cup next to 2 bule cups.

^^ my sister won on that.. so it is possible!

But, VERY hard!

The hardest game in my eyes is the one where you have to trow the ball and get it to stay in the airstream... That might be why I have never seen anyone play it...

i like to try to get the rings around the bottles, it's very hard, and still haven't won, but that one is fun to try.

All of the games are fun. They're worth playing if you feel like it. Some days I decide to play and walk out with all sorts of neat stuff.

Related fact of the day: Did you know that it was common practice for amusement parks to pay children to walk aroud the park with prizes in the past? It would be a cheesy way of promoting the games and show that anyone can win, when in fact the small child was an employee.

^ Dang thats kinda jacked up! I play games in Hanna-Barbera Land.

When i go to PKI i always play the Peach Basket Toss, i think that is what they call it in Coney, and in Rivertown they call it Basket Case, and i always buy 3 balls, and usually get it in. It is an easy game if you know the technique, I read it in a magazine, and i think the park has caught on to people winning, cuz the prizes keeping getting less and less "nice" The game where you have to get the ball in a certain cup is just chance. Me and my brother played it when I was like 7 and he was 10, he had was putting all this technique into and didnt get it in, and my mom gave me a ball i threw it, and it just happened to land in a blue cup.

What is the technique for the cup game?
