Indiana Beach 9-5
Well we decided to go to IB yesterday...Its a 4 hour drive from Cincinnati. We left Harrison at around 8:30 and quickly it was 7:30. Today it was me Rob(Nungester) and Rob' buddy Larry. This was a test for my game boy cause it was about an hour total drive to and from so i wanted to see if the batteries would keep up. We arrived at IB around 11am(IB time not EDT) got a parking space in the free lot. We parked paid the 3 bucks and entered. We then went to the ticket boot and got dual ride sessions plus water park POP passes for today and we headed up for Hoosier Hurricane(42) I road near the back. I wasn't impressed with the ride at all. Very little air and boring. Next we did Cornball Express. Now this I liked. We road in the rear and it had great airtime. Very fun ride. After that it was time to try my hand on a Larson flyers. IB has a no snapping rule. and even the slightest jiggle gets a nasty eyeball. They run them to slow for it to be a problem. After that we did the log flume and headed into the main area of the park I was able to ride every adult ride but 2. Chaos was closed and the yoyo swings Could of been done but it was horridly unconfortable. Next on our coaster list was Tig'ger. This ride has no harnesses lapbelts or seatbelts and is a fun little ride. After that we did Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain. This ride makes sob look like a B&M. its bone jarring but hellish fun. We road this about 5 times today. Very fun ride. I recommend forward for the best views. We did there water park. Which isn't much more than a lazy river and some slides and cleaned up lake water. Nice but cant do that too long. After that was Galaxy We also did the double shot which was my 1st S&S ride. Very cool did that around 10 times that day. If you have ridden serpent you road galaxy. its a SDC clone. Den of lost thieves is a great dark ride. I loved it. Frankenstein castle is a walkthough attraction that is pay extra and is well worth it. It puts any fearfest house to shame. Overall had a great day. Drive back was long and boring. But we made it. Got pulled over on cross county for holiday harassment had nothing on us so they trooper didn't get a bonus tongue.gif(reason we were pulled over was a loud muffler which was about to fall off because we hit a huge peice of debirs on the highway and it knocked it almost off but not quite. we knew he was looking for a DUI cause his second question was "did you have anything to drink this evening sirs"? PS just for kicks heres how far we went about 210miles each way. about about 4 hours each way

Now as another source higher up in PP said don't expect them to leave. Expect PKD to get a TRTR like PCW and PCar to get a CDBB Conflicting rumors indeed.

How do you spend your day at PKI?
I start out in AZ always. Gotta get my SOB rides in. Then I head down to the flyers and then beast. Then its random really. I eat at applebees down the road. I don't eat in the par.

Flyers gone
Fresh from my rumor mill here at Gsmasters HQ in lovely Sycamore Township we have some hot rumors. My sources tell me that: Flyers heading to PCW or PCar? Could the flyers head to another paramount park. We know PKD and PGA have em already so that leaves PCW or Pcar? Tiques gone for good. They are not coming back. Guest Services cutbacks in 2005.

Theming - What if?

If New Age Rides Take Over...
We know the cars will be back. KCKC and KC were nightmeres maitance wise. As for PT. I never did like it. Parks cannot live in the past. They have to keep adding new things. Removals are part of that. If you dont have the latest and greatest you will be left behind.

Theming - What if?
Arrow made Kings Mills Log Flume I forget who redid it.

stunt track video
Yeah its the same video they play on IJ:ST site. We had confirmation about 2 weeks ago on the location but thanks!
-
Where will the next coaster be located ?
Alot of us never had the (dis)pleasure of riding that ride. Difference between King Cobra and Vortex is. Arrow's part shop is still open and parts are easlly avalable. Togo went under and was bought by Premier BUT they decided to stop making parts for the standups. Now the sitdown models do have parts avaliable. I think KC was axed to provide parts to the other paramount standup togos at PKD and PCW that are still doing well. While we got the sw33t gaint frisbee.

Could PKI Year Round work?
It would be great cause that area is really dead during the winter. Other than work traffic its really empty. It looks weird when I goto the theater up there and see pki closed. Its like a ghost town with the rides sitting silent. You can see Top Gun though the trees. Its odd.
-
Stop me if you heard this one.....
Not really snapper. There arrows and aarow's part shop still exists. They can get parts rather easilly.
