2006 PKD.. Italian Job Stunt Track.

You weren't complaining? Saying you have it bad is complaining. I personally get sick of hearing you say negative things about SFA and PKD, you have it good, you are close to more than one theme park.

That's called being selfish.

"Not complaining about it at all..."

Well it certainly sounds like you are. It seems like you have a hard time discussing SFA without mentioning how long its been since the park got a new coaster.

I'm not saying you can't say whatever you want...but at least be honest and admit that you're complaining. I complain about SFMM all the time ;)

But they're DIFFERENT complaints! ;)

SFA *has* the coasters it needs...just not the management team. Hmmmm, maybe your complaints ARE similar after all... ;)

What got me about the whole photo was the deal on season passes!

I thought Carowinds would get the next IJ:ST too.

I know Stealth was moved to PCW last year, (Now named BORG) from PGA...a move I still don't understand, I would've thought one of these parks would get the next coaster in general for the chain.

It seems PCW & PGA are the most forgotten of the five parks. I could be mistaken, but it just seems that way when people have talked in the past.

Since the above statements, I checked RCDB and I guess what fueled my fire above was that as far as adult coasters are concerned, (in other words, no kiddie or family style coasters!), here's what they added at PCW & PGA:

Carowinds

Top Gun: The Jet Coaster - 1999

Vortex - 1992

Great America

Invertigo - 1998

Top Gun - 1993

Vortex - 1991

... I just wanted to clarify why I said what I said ealier. *** Edited 8/9/2005 7:36:44 PM UTC by Floorless Fan***

Now officially a Halloween Haunt Cornstalker for Fall '08! www.freewebs.com/chadmicah

Just to add to the confusion....PCW is normally used for Paramount Canada's Wonderland, not Carowinds...which I tend to abbreviate PCar.

Honestly, ALL the parks in the chain are great IMO....cept for the one in NorCal. ;)

Carowinds was an amazing park and I actually felt some IOA vibes when I was walking through areas of the park. The whole BORG area was really impressive and the flying coaster will probably hold more popularity there than it would have continued to have as Stealth (Carowinds broke 2 million visitors for the first time ever in '05).. And by PGA adding the waterpark, they had a nice little attendance boost as well.

You can have Hypersonic. I'll take Top Gun at PCar anyday.

The funny thing is.... How many of you complaining will actually visit more than 1 paramount park next year and ride Italian Job anyway.

I have been to both PCW and PKI this year, and I rode both Italian Jobs. Both are similar, but have thier own uniqueness as far as proximity to other rides, landscaping etc.

I would wait and ride IJ at PKD (or wherever) too. So what if it is the same ride. At least it is an enjoyable "Clone."

Would you rather have Clones of a crappy hang or Bang or something?

Oh.. in case anyone is wondering... I did prefer IJ at PCW. Something about the open feeling (farther proximity to rides/Que Line/etc)of the ride compared to PKI made the difference for me. Sorry PKI

Guess who's back? Back Again? James K's back. Tell a friend.

How many of you complaining will actually visit more than 1 paramount park next year and ride Italian Job anyway.

And much more importantly, how many of the general "average joe" parkgoer visit more than Paramount park a year?

Answer: very, very, very, very, very, very, very few.

No!

Iffin (if you need to ask, you don't need to know) I move to S.C., I may be further away from my #1 coaster, but I'll be closer to my #2 than I was my #1, and still the same from Top Gun. You can't have it.

"How many of you complaining will actually visit more than 1 paramount park next year and ride Italian Job anyway."

I'm probably going to visit PKD for the first time next year. I won't ride IJ as it won't be any better than PKI's. So no, I won't ride it anyway. And, if I do go to PKD and PKI, I won't ride either IJ. Boring.

Well I'll certainly ride it....I'll try anything new.

And then complain because you didn't like it and it wasn't what you wanted the park to add...

I'll try anything new.

Nah...too easy ;)

Bad Moosh!

If you think is IJ is boring, I wonder if you are a true enthusiast, or one of those people who are only satisfied with the biggest and best. A true enthusiast enjoys every aspect of a coaster, even if it is not the tallest, fastest, steepest, or what have you.

It is statements like yours that separate the Enthusiasts from the Enthusiasses.

Guess who's back? Back Again? James K's back. Tell a friend.

True,how true.

It's like a so called enthusiast refusing to ride a vekoma because they'd prefer a B&M or an Intamin instead.

Batwing, he ment that to you as well, duh.

I think IJ:ST was the most brilliant ride anyone could ahve ever come up with..it's nothing like being in the center of a movie..it's kinda like being at Universal Orlando. PKD's gonna do quite well in 2006. Not a bad choice. Nice way to make up for the the last disaster (*cough*Volcano*cough*). This year was my first year riding Volcano, and I was quite disappointed. Needs lots of improvement.
