That sounds like the same guy I just wrote about in another thread. I was there tonight in my Atlanta hat and Son of Beast shirt and EKU hoodie

I got 2 from tonight The Diamondback under the water to make the splashdown. AND a speech a guy did to an ride op and eventually Guest Relations. (NOTE I was not a witness at the time, but at midnight he was still yelling this exact stuff to his daughter) Daughter said "I'm sorry I was not tall enough to ride" Dad angry response. "You were tall enough" You were at the line you were tall enough. 9 out of 10 of these high school jerkoffs would of let you ride, but there the 1 guy that has to be a jerk. 1 guy who wants to enforce the rules strictly. He is the guy who wants to be a cop. He just wants to be a jerk. He deserved the abuse I gave him. Guest Relations is next on our list. I'm sorry I embarrased you in front of everyone but that jerkoff needed to be put in his place. You give these high schoolers minimal power and they want to take fun away from people smaller than them. It not your fault it theirs"

I just got back from KI and Firehawk broke at about 9 PM and received a sign out front of the entrance saying "This ride is temporarily closed"

just watched the POV on youtube and seems like Big Bad Wolf kicks Flight Decks butt

I think I heard Fairfield goes back on the 24th

it cool easy to lose info in these big threads

The emphasis on THE is one of the reasons, but that a conversation for a different thread

I agree. It Doesn't look like normal Intamin track. Wait, the rumor is its a giga, but is it an Intamin? I meen the track looks similar but not the same. In a previous pic on this thread it said it was an Intamin Giga. Here is the pic

Best things I have seen is an Ohio State basketball and a UK hat. BTW I STRONGLY DISLIKE those teams

I read from a family relative that Jim got a t-shirt and hat as well as the sign and bragging rights

That sure going to put a damper on the 1 millionth rider. I couldn't resist

CP new coasters from 1999-2009 Woodstock Express in 1999 Millienium Force in 2000 Wicked Twister in 2002 Top Thrill Dragester in 2003 Maverick in 2007 Cost Woodstock Express?

The article says he thought the the door was not safely closed so i guess i thought it launched before he cleared it, but I may be misunderstanding the incident

Or maybe an insider at KD acting as a "fan". Doubtful yes, impossible no

the water it self

It kind of like getting hit in the face with a garden hose

Thank you terpy, i do understand that there are a few people, like you, who understand what I went through.

And even on crowded days, I find that the waits for lines are highly exaggerated. With the high capacity of DB, I would estimate the wait from the beginning near the train would be about an hour which isn't bad for a Saturday. At Firehawk, I have timed the wait from the entrance with both trains running at 1 hr and 15 minutes despite their sign stating 2 hours. If the queues for The Racer were half full, that is still just about a 20 minute wait. Did you not read mine and rotag TR's? Firehawk was almost under the X-Base sign not it own entrance. Diamondback was all the way to the basketball games and an employee was there saying 90 mins. It about an hour just from the start of the sign about, at least it was on opening day omfg.... they do warn you... They have this really big sign out in the parking lot. you know the one with the park name on it. OH! and it lights up and if special groups are there, they make them feel special and it normally flashes Welcome *insert group(s) name here* watch it sometime. I have a few pics of those, when i was there with a group. Thats normally a good warning, if you see a list of names. and ppl aren't "riding you" (i see ppl backing up the park and giving their opinions) And you seem to keep fueling the fire, by repeating yourself or adding more negative comments every time just stating and observation. Oh, and another thing... look at the amount of money companies such as P&G are worth compared to DG, and their employee satisfaction rate. I guarantee P&G's outranks quite a few companies int he US! In fact PG rents out lots of places. They used to do that to Jillian's in Covington when that was around. thw whole thing.... and every month they rented out the banquet hall there. They do quite a few of those. They can afford it. also, lets look at DG's statewide population. I'll use my county as an example, considering its in the bottom 4th of most populated counties and we have at least 2 (i'm thinking or 4 but for this purpose) There's 88 counties times 2 in every county d say at least 20 employees, and this isn't including maybe just over the border in KY or IN, and not even including major cities!!! OH!! and dont forget to factor in spouses or kids. the national average being a family of 4 ppl... Thats a lot of ppl. My mom works for Copeland/Emerson and they have a company picnic there every year.. on a sat.. and the lines were always long, and this was in June. she got 4 tickets free and could purchase more at a discounted rate. Now, also these middle weeks in July are the major vacation weeks for ppl. And the new thing seems to be "stay-cations" so parents take their children local for fun (KI and CP used to be our only family vacations for a good 10 years of my life. maybe throw in a reds game or ohio caverns every other year too So yes a nice day in July on a saturday with nothing better to do... crowds will be there. It's a Sat in July! History has provedthat more than enough times O yeah thanks for warning people after they have already wasted gas to get there, yeah that helpful and nice of them. How is me giving my opinion on my ONE bad park opinion adding fuel to the fire? You guys are telling me that saturdays in July are bad, BUT I have been going on saturdays in every month since 1994 and nobody is believeing me when I say that this was the worst I had ever seen the park. Everyone else can't get it through their heads, even after a few people backed up my claims, that this was n abnormal crowd even for a saturday in July. Again you act like that I thought DG was a small company and wouldn't bring a crowd, NO I never knew it was DG day until we had driven 30 minutes to the park. Again I'm sorry for posting about my ONE BAD PARK EXPERIENCE. It clear I was in the wrong, not sure what I did wrong, but whatever it was I'm sorry. I will stick to facts for now on and leave my apparently worthless opinion out of it

Again I did not mean to start a huge debate, again this site does has the cliques and it is depressing. I was also stating my opinion so why did I get grilled by everyone? I'm not upset or angry, or ****ed off, just slightly disappointed, but you would of thought i was sueing KI the way I got grilled for posting my opinion tonight. I'm sorry for doing that

And even on crowded days, I find that the waits for lines are highly exaggerated. With the high capacity of DB, I would estimate the wait from the beginning near the train would be about an hour which isn't bad for a Saturday. At Firehawk, I have timed the wait from the entrance with both trains running at 1 hr and 15 minutes despite their sign stating 2 hours. If the queues for The Racer were half full, that is still just about a 20 minute wait. Did you not read mine and rotag TR's? Firehawk was almost under the X-Base sign not it own entrance. Diamondback was all the way to the basketball games and an employee was there saying 90 mins. It about an hour just from the start of the sign about, at least it was on opening day

Apparently I am in the wrong here for throwing out my very slight disappointment towards KI. I guess when some of the other more "popular" people say something is wrong in the park it cool, but only those people can. I apologize for stepping out of line apparently, I will just quit for the night.

whenever in row 16 I turn completely around and get soaked in the face and arms and upper chest, it amazing

Wouldn't the company need to know an number to tell KI, to make room for in the picnic area, since it was a picnic?

Again like I have said before it wasnt the crowd but KI had to of known that an abnormal large crowd was going to be at the park, like they do for concerts or other events, they could give a heads up though
