No its definitley boobzilla

We have other Intamin's, such as White Water Canyon.

When was the last time you saw ship full? I have not seen it full.... EVER so uh yea Ok one more thing. Ship can hold 84 people, and it constantly has full ships every single day from about 1130-130. On busy days...it does a full ship almost every cycle until close. On average...during peak time where you are sending full ships..the wait is about 15 minutes...especially for the higher seats. so uh yea

AE is definitley in octoberfest, and has been rated the number one mine train in america next to Disney Worlds mine train ride. It is consistently the most ridden ride every year...so what is so bad about it?

Excuse me, but you are wrong. There was QTV in the queue's down by top gun on poles. They were removed at some point...i believe after the first season, that i am not positive on. Go out to the queues and look you can see where they filled in the cement holes. And who do you think you are anyway saying I'm wrong??? How much do you know about that ride? There is a picture of this floating around somewhere...if someone finds it..post it or provide a link. (ie sobrider or azkindaguy - i know you guys are full of pictures)

Yes they did but they were removed after the first operating season.

If memory serves me right (as Monroe would say) i believe the name of the color was trademarked, Eiffel Tower Blue or Eiffel Tower Green.

Nono thats bad guest relating.

^ They are.

The yellow tape is there to help simplify the final visual check given by the ride operator, considering the bars are black and the seats are usually. EVERY single coaster will not let you dispatch a train until the bars are locked, wood coasters are no different. Every single ride with electronicaly controlled lap bars is the same way to the best of my knowledge.

So i cant snap, leave me alone

Haha, see im really a nice guy.

I agree.

hAPPY bIRTHDAY pAT

Before PKI he worked for Americana/Lesourdsville lake.

Guys this is ridiculous. The restraints are safe. Never failed. Ok? lol

No matter how much permission you get to promote the park, the bottom line is that there is no exception to a safety rule. NEVER. So to clear things up, it was still wrong and breaking rules to bring the camera onto the ride and use it.

lol

^Haha yea, thats what i was looking for

Even before gold pass existed, mothers day has always been a BFFD. Its never that crowded. The 65,000 day was a saturday in june.

Yea derbeast said everything that needed to be said, along with tiny. I'm done, if i try to explain myself again you'll just read it and misinterpret it as you have just done.

^ yea what he said. He posted while i was typing mine...and he's darn right.

OK stop the presses. This forum has turned into the stereotypical Cedar Point vs. pki, more specifically, their style vs. our style. And i would like to point out the ridiculous statements you have made. First of all, when i hit the 'quote' button to quote you, i planned on selecting one sentence, becuase i had not read the whole thing yet, and that one sentance made me mad enough. Then i read the whole thing, and when i tried to delete some your post so i wouldnt quote the thing in its massive completness i realized that i cannot do so. It is impossible, for the whole thing needs to be addressed and in its entirety it is a mouth load of crap. First of all im probably not as old as you, but in my memory i cannot thing of a time that pki was 'cutting edge' with coasters. It seems that in my mind we have always been family oriented, with a big thrill or coaster ride every 3-5 years. There isnt a single period in pki's history where they have gone on a coaster binge, except if you count the opening of Action Zone with sob, face off and dropzone. And if thats the only one you need to stop complaining becuase that was only 5 years ago...they're probably still recovering from the money spent for the Action Zone implementation. Now explain to me how they are going to 'carve themselves out of competition'. Let me remind you that Cedar Point in the past 3 years has opened up Millinium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, and Wicked Twister, three of the most insane rides in the world. What have we done??? We have done an HB expansion, two awesome flat rides, and a water park. And you want to know what?? our attendance has not slipped in comparison to theirs one bit. I am too lazy to find the link again, but in another one of these cp vs. pki threads i provided you guys with a link to the top 50 parks and their attendance for last year. The first 25 or something like that were all parks opened year round. The first park not open year-round on the list was the ever popular Cedar Point. The second on the list was PKI. And when you compared the figures of attendance between the two parks, they were so close that it doesnt even matter. i dont remember the exact numbers, but it was something like 3.4 million vs. 3.3 million or something. So my point is (and ive said this before) that they build a 27 million dollar erector set that sends people higher and faster than god ever intended, while we spend a much much lesser amount and obtain practically the same amount of people. "Coasters draw the crowds". That is not the dumbest statement, but the most ignorant. You have got to get out of this site, the acer/coaster freak world, and realize that those people account for like less than 5% of the attendance at the park....why would they appeal to them when the family oriented people make up most of the attendance. Why do i say they make up most of the attandence??? Becuase pki is not stupid, they are a business, they want to make money, and they wouldnt be all family oriented if they were not making money that way. You realize all the marketing surveys, and stats they take in??? You are crazy if you think they sit at a huge table and say "Well we would make tons more money if we built a huge coaster, but instead lets add on to HB". No they dont say that!!!!! They know how to make money, and they are doing fine. Trust me, if they could make more money building huge coasters, they'd be doing it. On to kids loving coasters. I agree, but do you realize all the kids under 48 inches that cannot get on most of them??? And trust me thats a lot of people. Now speaking from expierence (3 years), i know that you are wrong when you say: "theres tons and tons of kids on beast and Son of Beast". Have you ever walked through HB on a saturday. On most days, scooby doo and beastie have a longer line than Son of Beast. no i'm not joking. I wont even begin to comment on how you say their family base has matured. What do you think, that all the family kids and stuff they appealed to 10 years ago havent been replaced??? Are you not aware that people are born everyday completing a never ending cycle of new kids for pki to entertain?? As for kids being different now, i want some proof. I think half of it has to do with the fact that when we were kids the biggest coaster was Vortex and beast. and for you mommabeast it was probably racer (which was at one point the tallest fastest and blah blah). So you hafta remember that maybe if those rides were around we might have ridden them. For my parents to say "Wow the biggest ride i rode when i was a kid was The Racer" cannot be used as an example, becuase that was the biggest thing then. You have to forget that the market for people who want thrill rides isnt as big as you think. And just for sake of arguement, i agree with you. I pray for that day too when jeff comes up to a microphone and says that they're building a 500 ft coaster. darn i wish for that every freaking day. But i understand why they're not doing it.

Nope i offer no proof. Just something you have to choose whether or not to believe, and i could care either way which one you choose I found this out about 6 years prior to me working there though, i can tell you that. so i heard it about 10 years ago.

^^^ lol there ya go tiny!!! you're getting it! i'm so proud of you haha.
