Look at Behemoth's queue...it's tiny!! Supposedly completely full it only holds a 2 and a half hour wait including the pathway leading from the main queue to the stairs and in the station. During the construction CW people were saying Behemoth's queue was intentionally built small to dissuade people from standing in line for extended periods of time IF they came by and saw a completely full queue (I mean, it's harder to spend money elsewhere in the park if you're waiting over 3 hours to ride!). Given all this, D-back's queue size is looking exactly the same as Behemoth's and I hope it stays that way!! It's a people enter anyway, and so much so with Behemoth when I stopped to get a Vitamin Water at the machine inside the queue, my g/f and my former spot had already moved up an entire railing!

El Toro lift, anyone!?

^^Which is why you nurse it from the Coke machines to the ramp in MF's queue!! I gotta be honest, I find the frozen bananas across fom Mantis money!! Cheap (well, sort of), refreshing, relatively healthy, and a good time killer in MF's queue! Tip: keep the wrapper on and roll it down little by little...or else you'll be one of those poor souls juggling a melting mess.

I think if my old bid sticks around until April 18th I'm definitely going to do this!!

^^Hopefully this should definitely increase bidding!! That article, that is.

But that Jeff Gramke fella' looks sort of young now to me!? Was he a teen in '79?

Except when it comes to test seat belt length for Millennium Force! Wait...nevermind, as that hasn't matter since Sept 07!!

From the article on KI Insider: Ok, so which one is Terpy?? ;)

I don't think you should worry. In particular, B&Ms typically have "Big Boy" seats set aside, with a little more "room" for the larger patron. Not that you fit that category. I also know from experience that the B&M Hyper seats tend to be quite roomy and IMO very comfy. (I still want a seat to put in my living room to sit in and watch tv, complete with TV Tray restraint LOL) The good news is that there will undoubtedly be a test chair at the queue entrance for larger folks to avoid embarassment, and a wait for nada. Shaggy P.S. My 34" pants are feeling very tight these days... I blame winter too... ;-) Just to add to these sentiments...I think you should be fine!! The one thing I noticed about the Behemoth seats compared to the seats of the other, older, B&M hypers is that they're deeper and the edges come up a little bit more so you're sitting deeper in the seat (only tall people will be touching the floor). But anyway, I've been on both Behemoth and Nitro about 65 times each and have seen ONE 'walk of shame' on Behemoth and about 6 on Nitro with the older seats. The walk of shame on Behemoth was a guy who was very huge...at least a 46" waist, if not bigger. As I've been saying to people, if you can fit on Vortex right now you'll have no probs, and probably even a 44" on D-back should be completely fine. P.S. Do B&M hyper trains have Big Boy seats? I've never noticed or paid enough attention to that?

^^...while you can book the Wynn for under $100 now...WOW!!

^^Doesn't KI sell the frozen banana's like CP??

^^I think ol' Dennis boy should stick to what he knows best...Dive Machine coasters!!

^^Haha...no Fright Fest, and honestly, regarding GAdv...since I only utilize flash pass, I guess my approach is not one fits all!

Didn't 5/3 get bailed out?!?

^^Yeah, I completely know what you're saying... What's funny is most people are packed around large groups of strangers with every ride queue they enter!

^^Actually, I can sympathize with your situation... Last summer I went to Canada's Wonderland for the first time to ride Behemoth, and before the trip I was doing all the re-con, etc., and I talked to a well-known CW fanboy and said I don't care what else I ride, but PLEASE tell me I can ride Behemoth at least 6 times?! Flashforward to my visit...not only did I Behemoth 6 times, I rode it over 20! I probably got 6 rides in the first 2 hours or so there, plus got to easily ride everything else I wanted, including some bad capacity rides. Oh yeah, the park also closed at 8:00 pm that day!! Stick to a weekday and you should be fine. The past two years I've KI nailed to a science about what to ride and when no matter how busy the day (as I have now with CP and GAdv), but obviously D-back will re-write everything, but in a good way!! Btw, I've never been to that whentoride website before, but whenever people posted info or times from that site, I thought the info couldn't have been more wrong!! At least for the parks I frequent...

You do know how ridiculous of a statement this is, right?! What's funny is I can't tell you how many yearS it was until I rode BLSC for this very reason!! Of course, I wasn't a true enthusiast who 'would try new things' until 07. But anyway, I wonder what your lighting settings were for the indoor pics? Oh yeah, that Magnum calendar would look so sweet on the wall right next to my computer at work...so I'm definitely jealous!! Excellent PTR as always!

No, the prices are a bit higher than WaWa, naturally, but not that much. And even the NJ Turnpike gasoline prices are reasonable. Gasoline sells for very low margins in New Jersey. Most of the original Six Flags parks had gasoline stations. A few still survive, and are only open when the parks are! I had always heard the cheaper gas was to persuade the intimidated (such as myself) to get gas in NJ instead of PA...and more short-hand, I'm tellin' you, Terpy, forget KC....TB in Mer-ville!!!

Edit: Nevermind!!

Stick with a weekday and you should be fine...

I'm with Terpy...for the most part now with B&M it's just a math equation...you get it right or don't. Having said, Behemoth's lift motor burned out after only two weeks of operation. Hopefully something can be learned from past mistakes. If there's any question about water/splashdown issues, I think CF will be fully prepared to run dry if need be. More than likely weather will be the biggest factor. If the weather is right, I fully expect to be on one of the first-rider trains at 8:30 or 9:00, depending on how long the ERT is.

^^I hope you buy one!! I'm looking forward to the future 'Show your Diamonback on-ride photo!!' thread poping up around 9:00 am on Sunday, April 18th!

^^Although Mr. Black Hat was claiming bottom of the 2nd hill, which would be very cool if so!

LMAO!!
