  1. Honestly though, over half of the time a ride is down, even the ride ops dont know whats wrong. We just tell mantinence what happened and they just tell us to wait untill they call us to open. Please dont be upset with the operators when a ride is down. We cant help it.

    Well, actually, I think saturday was more crowded than sunday was.
  3. I worked with Erica and sandra all last year, i cant decide between the too. Theyre the only girls I really Know.
  4. Days of thunder raceway cause then there would be that land and the land from King Cobra being taken out.
  5. Agreed^ I would probably bring back all of the old cool things KI has taken away like, top gun under the station queue line, winterfest, bring back rides like james bond or Days of thunder in Action theater, Open both sides of the antique cars, paint racer the original red white and blue, top gun the gray and red, add a tunnel to SOB. Fix all the themeing in Adventure Express. Less trim breaks on The Beast, put a sweet show in International showplace, make fearfest like it was the first year, clean up coney and put more themeing on the rides.
  6. yea like it says that Millennium force goes 92 miles per hour but i know that on hot days its been clocked up to around 100. I doubt they would sell somthing like that. One can only hope.
  7. I know a lot of people that make a screenname on PKIU but never really followed up on it.
  8. I think that would be a good idea to kinda transplant some of the smaller trees and such to other areas of the park, especially places with trees that are dead or dying and places that need more trees like SOB, Imagine a bunch of trees in the helixes, that would be cool.
  9. Dude my class got on the internet and we found these recipies for like Cicada smoothies, pies, and all these other food dishes you can make using cicadas and their shells. Talk about weird
  10. Sounds like a good time. I always hear that the people are like acting all crazy and drunk at grad night. Just a rumor but I dont know if its true or not. I called to see if they needed people to come in tonight cause I wanted to work but they told me no, I was actually pretty disapointed. Oh well, Im working tomorrow.
  11. Yea, Grishim said he dropped of paper work in cincinnati just so he could ride Son of Beast, now do you think he has actually ridden it or do you think they just said that for the show. I could believe that its possibe for woody to have ridden The Beast but the Son of Beast is still fairly new. And woody made the comment that he thought that wood coasters were better, isnt it Ironic that his name also happens to be woody, lol. Probably just a stupid coencidence.
  12. Yea but think about it, almost all the land at KI has been turned up, or renovated in the past 17 years, I mean, thats everything from Vortex being put in untill today. Most of KI shouldnt be that bad, the one place that will probably will be terrible is riding The Beast, wow, yea its gonna be Fabio stories all over cause non of that has been disturbed since like 25 yrs ago when The Beast was put in. But other than that they shouldnt be that bad at KI, now the zoo is terrible, that is one place that you really do not want to go.
  13. you know I actually tried to buy one of those but they were all out of them.
  14. The first helix was completely retracked this winter and it really shows. Has anyone else noticed how much smoother it is this year?
  15. Yea, in the preshow, Laura Crofts, father says, "I guess she firgured she would just pop in, grab the treasure, and that would be that," then the rest of the show plays with fire, and tons of dramatic music and such then at the very end, he says, "Famous last words," and thats just as the door opens and you walk in.
  16. Sorry but I am totally obsessed with LaRosas Pizza, I get it almost every time I go on break. Always have, always will. However I will say now and then on skyline day I will occassionally. Its really close. Outside of the park, its a lot easier to go to skyline for me but in the park I'd rather LaRosas.
  17. I like the way that Top Gun playes the Top gun soundtrack in the station. All of the coney and az stuff is all like eighties which I think needs to be updated somewhat.
  18. Hey, in the heat of the day at like 1 or 2 when its like 90, there is nothing better than takin the train to the water park and hangin out till bout 5. Some of the stuff there tho is a little too over rated. Like Tazmanian Typhoon, yea, well it looks awesome but its really kinda dumb. My friend and I road Zanga in Holiday World, (same ride) and its not that great. You just go back and forth, nothing special, other than the look there is almost no point in the top of the funnel being there.
  19. I think its a good idea but at this point maybe a little too hard to enforce. I think that the no smoking in line rule is good cause when ur in line you cant really escape the smoke but just in the park you can kind of walk away. I do however think there should be a lot more emphasis on the none in line rule. It just seems that when people get into a long line, they just think that it will be ok and they wont get in trouble which they usually dont.
  20. While I was working there last year at tiques, I had a chance to walk the south track and there are a lot of places where the metal rail in the middle is broken. The lay of the course to me at least seemed to be better thatn the north side, it just seemed a little more remote. I remember being there while some idiot college kids ditched two cars at the same time and then left the course somewhere, that was interesting when all the cars stopped coming into the station.
  21. LOL, last year they used it for the employee PKI Idol. Good times
  22. The no smoking spiels, ride break down spiels, and handrail spiels at the new coasters are all Jeff Seibert.
  23. Ok for one, there are no major problems with SOB. The Bat did. (oh and for the record, no one EVER, I mean no one ever died on The Bat, the worst anyone got was a crick in their neck) anyway, The Bat had little to no banking on the turns because they thought they could rely on the shocks which had to be replaced weekly. Also The Bat had the pinch breaks and break fins on the bottom of the car. this caused major stress on the body of the train. If u'll notice top gun and every other suspended coaster has the breaks directly under the track which you cant really see cause of all the stuff up there. Here is a picture of this, (lol, notice the lady holding her neck) These are all design flaws that were wrong with the actual stucture. There are no big design flaws with SOB. SOB's not going anywhere.
  24. I swear, do you know what the number one thing that we clean up in lines at the end of the night are?, Cig butts, its terrible. Seriously, Im a nice guy and all but when it comes to other guests health in a family park w/kids everywhere, thats where I draw the line, I ask for the cig out, if it doesn't go out or another one lights up, its time to call security. I just wish it was a lot easier to enforce the rule. We need like queue line mic.s at greeter, lol.
