Am I Too Big To Ride?
I'm 6' 4" and 320 lbs. I have a waist of 46" and wear a 46/34. You'll be more than fine. If you were to have any trouble it would be with Flight of Fear. If you don't want to risk not fitting sit in the back, it has more room. Just like bparrot said, IJST is truly the most comfortable restraint for big guys. Almost impossible to not fit. Trust me on all this, I have the exact same problems that you have, or think you will have. You'll be OK. But if worse comes to worse don't be embarrassed to let the ride attendants push on your restraint. Trust me it's the only way for me to get on a few rides. I have to have all three of my KI friends literally hang on my restraint on DZ to get the seat belt to buckle. Good luck.

WWC Questions
Does anyone know why Tower 1 and its corresponding water element don't operate anymore? Also why don't they use the sprayer in the second tunnel anymore? A small side question, does anyone have any pictures of Whitewater Canyon drained during off-season? I've always been interested in seeing all the pumping mechanisms and all the rapid-generators. Thanks in advance!

SOB TESTING
That seems a bit extreme. Maybe 500 runs, but 5000?

Treasures of days gone by!
Sweet, can't wait to see all this!! BTW, get a Mac.

Going for Slingshot
I appreciate all the input guys! I'm pretty excited to ride it now. I won't be going this weekend though. I'll probably get to do it next week. Woo! ...Sorry

What will SOB trains look like?
Wow. You learn something new every day.

Restraints on Flight Of Fear
I'm in the boat with you. I had to get off FoF yesterday after both of the ride ops were both on top (not kidding) of my bar just trying to get the stupid belt to buckle.

Man XL-200's hurt on the bunny hills. I wouldn't mind the MF lap bars but just use a far longer seatbelt. I can't ride it and TTD because of the seatbelt length.

Going for Slingshot
I've ridden every coaster and thrill ride a KI at least four times. This being said I'm still freaking about getting on Slingshot. It makes me nervous just looking at it. I don't know what it is. I don't have any problem with DZ or any of the other flat rides. But there's just something about Slingshot. I finally made up my mind. I'm going to do it. Especially since it's temporarily $5 every day. I really need to push myself on it. Anyone have any tips or input? I could use a bit of comforting.

Anyone know if these easily accept persons of exceptional size? (Insert awkward laugh) I can't fit into FoF anymore. If these are indeed similar to AE then I'm in luck.

LOL, classic. It's foreign to me that people could be so uninformed. Yeah, I remember that commercial. Seems like Ford, not sure though.

Saw it today too. Six cars, four people to a car. While I'm here I'll rant. I hate stupid people. I was standing someone in line for Firehawk today and she asks me what I think of "The "Son of "The" Beast (grr). I replied with I can't wait 'til it reopens. This was followed by a reaction of "Oh, no, no ,no, they're tearing it down." To which I said they aren't they just got the new trains and have started testing. Then she said, "Well, last I heard they were tearing it down because someone died on it last summer." I then proceeded to explain the cracked vertical timber and that there were many injuries but none fatal. I decided to give up there when she was still adamant that it was being demolished. I didn't want a woman with more armpit hair than me to begin getting ****ed. Where do people hear this stuff? Arg!

Hey, they wanted light.

TR:6/19/07
I guess it was its time. Go out good, not with a death. Yeah, the parts...uh, part seems like crap, sounds like another excuse to me. Maybe it's just me but somehow Togo Stand-ups don't seem safe. I'd way rather ride a B&M Stand-up than a Togo. By the way, look at the difference in the trees surrounding Timberwolf in KIFan's post.

TR:6/19/07
You're kidding, the sound is still off? I went early last week and that was one of the first days of the sound being off. I'm going tomorrow, I'll see if it's on yet. I miss Cobra. That was my very first looping coaster. I'm still uncertain, why was it torn down?

Firehawk on weekdays?
With both stations running on a weekday and the first que block close to full it takes about 45 mins. At least it did last Tuesday.

Favorite Coaster Crew?
It's not a coaster but White Water Canyon's crew is usually really friendly. One OP had a small conversation with me before my boat left. There's something in the water.

Tomb Raider
TR does seem shorter lately. I went last Tuesday and the sound was off. The ride is a lot less enveloping without the sound. The only thing that made the ride good was sitting in the far left seat in the second row. I'm beginning to think that TR:TR is starting to see its last days.

Sandusky Area Restaurants?
Famous Dave's is all you need to know about. Behind Millennium Force and Wildcat outside the park. Best BBQ ever. You will thank me.
