PKI

The origins of the "girl X got scalped on ride Y" may have its roots to an unfortunate incident on a ride similar to CP's Matterhorn where a girl's long hair got entangled in the hinges of the car and ripped out some chunks. I wish I could find my references on that, though...

I have also heard a version of it happening to a girl on Millennium Force in the last tunnel.

How is that even possible? People don't think when they speak.

She'd certainly have to have long hair... :)

I spotted Peanuts mechandise this past week . I visited PKI Thur 6/21, then begun a long journey. I visited the candy shop on International street and was taken by suprise how fast peanuts made their way in. A little bit after that I walked in the Animation Station on International street and saw a similar famliar site. Peanuts cartoon movies playing on the TV's.

I expected Peanuts at the new parks, but not a few weeks after the hand over.

I know one improvement over the years....in the old days if it rained, the ride closed due to braking problems. The last time I went was sooooooooo cool. It was just before 10pm so it was the last ride of the day. We saw the fireworks starting as we exited the station. The going up the lift hill, we saw lightning off to the west. About 1/2 way thru the ride, was a mega downpour, but the ride chugged on. At the very end as we were coasting into the station, the fireworks grand finale had just finished, the storm was raging outside....and the operator announced "all clear" as we entered the station. Very cool! Almost like we had a show for us on the ride.

But back on topic.... Hope CF loosens up the trims a bit on this on the Beast. With all the room that KI seems to have nearby, maybe CF can build the mega 500'+ coaster everyones drooling about. Plenty of room there!
