February 6, 200323 yr I would like to see Stand up as well as Facts about PKI, I think on the rides that you have to wait for 1.5 to 2 hours they should show movies all the way through or at least have what ever they are running last 2 hours with out repeating. You know, so you do not have to watch the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! -adam12
February 6, 200323 yr I think they should throw in some more msuic videos, some more park facts, and some more speakers in every ride that has a long line, so even if you can't see the TV you can hear the sound. Playing the movie Top Gun @ Top Gun would be pretty cool too, if they played the whole thing, all the way through several times daily.
February 6, 200323 yr I think on Top Gun they should play action scenes from Top Gun, mixed with music videos. Son of Beast they should have stand up comedy to relax nervous guests. Delerium should have tornado/bad storm clips with some hard rock music. Drop Zone and Face/Off should have action scenes from those movies. Adventure Express should play Indy Jones scenes from all the movies. Racer could show some 70 and 80's mixed music videos. Beast could show scary movie clips with some spooky music videos. I did all I could think of off my head, I think the system should be more centralized by ride.
February 6, 200323 yr Hi, this is my first time on, so please don't yell too loud if I do something wrong. My imput on this matter is I agree with Teenageninja, each ride should be themed individually to the viewing material. I like the shorter clips so that you don't get so involved and then have to leave to get on the ride and miss the remainder. The park overall needs more work on theming to the areas, don't get me wrong I love the park and will still go without the theming but it really does make a difference. As far as standing in lines there needs to be something there to keep your mind off the wait. I don't want to stray from the subject but I'm sure that the tv programs are pretaped long in advance, but wouldn't it nice to see snow, ice, wind, etc. when you're standing in 100 degree weather? And definitely more water misters!
February 6, 200323 yr I think more Stand-Up Comedy should be on the t.v's and more park facts for tourists and guests coming into the park.
February 6, 200323 yr Author Missdi - This is an open site to any PKI inthusast, where opinions are welcome and flaming is not permitted. So nobody will get mad if you don't share the same opinion. Ok, anyway, althow it would be alot better if the TV showed a more... personalized, I do not see it happening, all the TV's will have to be rewired. But hey, it is a good idea. And yes they do need more speakers.
February 6, 200323 yr The only problem is anything they have to show in line has to be all-age appropiate. Another thing is...I haven't seen Top Gun all the way through (so kill me if you must), I wouldn't want to watch in in line, especially when there is all kinds of outside noise, and the sound isn't loud. One other thing...CHANGE THE VIDEO EVERY MONTH. When July rolls around, the looping video is severely outdated. The music videos are boring, and that Clueless clip gets tedious. GET CREATIVE!
February 15, 200323 yr Not to start a way, but yeah they do need to change the programming through out the year. For those of use who work in locations where you are at most 30ft from that TV all day (Wings, Oktoberfest/Bubba back bar, Festhaus.....) we see the same thing (and hear it too) multiple times a day, everyday. It gets old really quick with us.
February 15, 200323 yr Festhaus could use better projectors or get some big plasma televisions the video quality is not that good in there some of the time you cant see it at all
February 15, 200323 yr I like your idea teenageninja. That would make every ride's line unique from another. Maybe also show different clips every hour from the last hour.
February 16, 200323 yr The same time every day gets old for emloyees... For a while I knew what time I wanted to be on front line or on Patio at festhaus because Island in the Sun would be playing.
February 18, 200323 yr Author Festhaus could use better projectors or get some big plasma televisions the video quality is not that good in there some of the time you cant see it at all I think the projectors in there are already "top of the line." And just think of how much a Plasma TV of that size would cost?!?! Oh I got off topic...
February 18, 200323 yr I think they really need to change that stupid Flight of Fear video before they change any other videos.
February 19, 200323 yr The FOF video was/is actually pretty good... Poor acting, but i think thats part of what they were going for... I like it.
February 19, 200323 yr On FOF, you probably end up watching the video five different times while youre standing in line because its kinda short. I usually dont watch it because im playing pool or tetris on my cell phone. Very handy for crowded days at the park.
February 20, 200323 yr eh... i'd say maybe 2, unless its a really bad day on capacity... like the first time i rode it with lap bars, easter of 2001. Only one train, and it took forever to get through the hangar.
February 20, 200323 yr Author lol That video is a joke. Its funny the first time you see it, err... kinda. But after the 2ed time its horrible. And so on... and so on... and so on...
