According to an article over at
Motoringfile, it seems that the new Paramount King's Island MINI Stunt ride (PKIMSR) is going to be open in April or May! However, this is uncomfirmed as of now.
Here's the thread that started it all.

DISCLAIMER - This is totally seperate from the thread I linked to above. I am on that thread hoping for something to happen, but it seems to have stalled. This thread is for a similar event, but this will be something that MMS (and other groups) have control over. I don't mean to take away from the earlier mentioned thread or take over. This is our own event, with our own contact person. ~Adam
Now - on to the good stuff!
Someone in our local group got in touch with a representative at PKI and we have found out that this person is in charge of organizing an event for the PKIMSR. They are looking for ideas and thoughts as to make it a cool event and pull a decent showing.
Currently I don't know too much, as I just found this out, but I'll be updating you guys as I find out and should be exchanging emails with them very soon.
Here's what is being kicked around so far:
- MINI USA will not be involved, so PKI is promoting this themselves
- They're looking for MINI owners from all over
- There's talk of catered food all day - DUDE!!
- Dedicated parking
- A Rally from Oxford, OH to PKI
- And early rides for us
- For all you running the Dragon - tentative date of June 18
I'll be contacting area clubs after I hear back from PKI about what they want to pull off. This has the potential to be rather large. PKI will be looking for ideas as well, so start brainstorming! Feel free to follow along here and throw out some ideas.
