Looking at this ski for some East-Coast riding, mostly park. I know a few guys like Parker White ride this as their primary ski in the park. Anybody ridden these around? Any feedback is welcome.

wrong ski for mostly park dude.... its labeled as a back country twin tip.
First of all, your not going to ski pow that much, which is what this is for.
second, you would be better off with a more park specific ski if your only skiing park... i'd go no higher than the S5.

unless you love a fatter ski for park, then i wouldnt bother...

I used to ride centermounted mosips and arvs, all for specifically park use. I loved it. Fat skis are reall stable on jumps and rails. The only downside in the park is that they are heavier, but for me Im not out there hucking ugly spins, slow and stylie is the way to go.

Go for the S6s you wont be dissapointed.

Have not used these in the park.  FWIW I rode these on a day where the majority of the conditions were groomed and I had zero complaints about these ski's.  Very capable at speed, turned on a dime, and seemed to have a nice pop to them.  Being a demo day didn't bother taking them into the park.  I'm sure these would be a blast in the powder as for park...um yeah I'm sure they could fit the bill.
