Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ, you're thinking of! I was just about to say...after doing CW and La Ronde last year I'm pretty much done with N. America (no desire for SFM as I really care more about rides than credits). With that said, there are whole big jungle gym's out there in Europe and Asia!! Although I'd probably opt for Asia first as I do have relatives who live in Japan. But Europe with all of its euro fighter goodness and Itamin's is darn tempting as well!!

Couldn't this be said for any good company with tanked stock in this market??

My only fear is that D-back will likely be a black hole for KI higher-up's, potentially resulting in way over-cautious (and drastically slower) operations when 20 extra eye balls (of bosses, no less!) are looking on...I mean, most people work very reservedly when doing so right in front of their boss. But when the tie's are not around, I hope they zip down the train!! While still being safe, of course!

"Let go or die"?? LMAO!! Ummm...not quite!! Someone could also change jobs to another company...that happens, you know!! Plus, based upon what I've heard, Cedar Fair isn't the highest paying company in the world. Not that every company is, but many do pay better...

^^Hopefully cleaning it!! That thing has looked kind of nasty!

It was on Behemoth!! ...particularly being money on the hammerhead!!

^^Isn't it true.... ...for the peeps (such as myself) who renewed their 08 PP for the 09 season that a major "test" of the renewal will be how successful things go when your pass is scanned for parking?? If my renewed 08 PP successfully scans for parking on the 18th then I will definitely feel a lot more optimistic (not that I am not already, but still).

And why I still remain very skeptical about the 5th hill trim and MCBR use and intensity given how much shorter D-back's pre-MCBR course is compared to it's older sisters and brothers, unfortunately...

^^Yeah, I saw that pic. However, it seems there is a certain chain of circumstances that may cause it (like doing a Google search via KIC??), which completely lost me...

Especially based on R&B's podcast, I would say it really does not appear so for opening day.

^^45 mins?? Ouch!! I think, if anything, it's more that people are procrastinators...thus, the early bird getting the worm (of short lines!! )

I still have no idea what this is, how it's caused, and what all you guys are talking about?!? I've never had this problem and don't quite get it either??

^^I want it, I want it, I want it!!! I think next year I'm going to make my own Diamondback wall calendar at Kinko's...one of my co-worker's has a Kinko's made calendar of his fam in his office, and it looks just like a professionally produced calendar you'd buy at those mall kiosks...high res glossy and everything and only for like $35 too!

Also, in that wlwt video, MCBR hardly grabbing at all!! Very reminiscent of Behemoth...so I'm definitely pumped to see how that plays out more!

Video worked perfect for me! Looks sweet!!

Go to the Walmart on Mason-Montgomery and buy a camera, stat!!

^^Haha...that's pretty good!

New blog update from D-back site...peeps, get to KI now and film the test runs on this bad boy!! Sadly, I don't live at the Nantucket apartments anymore or else I totally would be myself with my HD cam no less!!

^^I only skimmed your post, but apparently there will be no Diamondback ERT on opening day. In addition, honestly, I'm doubting the Diamondback first rider shirts. While I'd love to see them, usually that's a gimmick to get people out to the park...no gimmicks needed for Diamondback! Plus, it just seems like an unnecessary waste of $25K to print up these shirts considering all the costs being sunk into D-back...but I hope I'm wrong as I love free shirts!!

^^Along those line... "Protein spill in row 2!!"

"What can I get for my PTC trade-in?"

Actually I believe it's the State and the Manufacturers who set that limit. Isn't the State part more if a ride is containing passengers??

Yeah that is pretty unflattering pic, especially without anything to give you a size comparison. As I've said multiple times before...drive on Perimeter Rd. at CP, get out of the car at the bottom of MF's first drop and look up...honestly, IMO, it doesn't seem to look that high or steep!! It's all about perspective...and you wonder how Hollywood makes movies and Copperfield makes things "disappear"!?

^^Aren't there rain chances tomorrow??

^^And please, KI, no train games!!! I hate it when parks manipulate their lines by taking off trains...I understand when it's legitimately dead, but there is a difference between legitimately dead and "sort of busy". KI isn't a huge offender of this, but on the flip side, how many coasters at KI actually run 3 trains? Vortex and maybe Beast.
