Annoying Bouncy Ball
Sometimes basket balls cause minor issues. people may be dribbling in line or when thry are walking and it rolls in front of you. Last month while in line for The Beast, a kid in the kiddie corral stood on his tip-toes and dropped a basketball in the track while a train was pulling in. the ride ops hit the e-brake and one person went to grab it but they let it roll through the tracks. people on the train were like having panic attacks and freaking out. idk why though

The one thing I don't like about Diamondback
You're right about that for sure. The lap bar felt very snug to me on Diamondback and I had my arms up the entire ride. There really is no need for a seatbelt

OMG when did you go on it?! it was squeaking up a storm when i was there around 2ish it was unbearable almost!. And you obviously didn't get over to see poor Top Gun.... if any ride were EVER in need of some tender lovin care.... We rode it at about 3 and it was running beautifully quiet, for an Arrow. The wheels did squeal over the fresh paint, but it wasn't shaking and rattling and sounding like the whole structure was about to collapse like it used to. You're right about the fresh paint, but i believe they also put new wheels on because i noticed they were more white (new wheel color) along the edges and the rims were brighter silver with fresh blue grease

Help!
My friend did that to me too last year but he said he could wait for me until i got off but i wouldn't ask my GF to wait for me to ride. You could either ride rides that she likes or else tell her good things about roller coasters if that helps at all

who did you see from the forums?
I was the kid sitting behind you on the red racer yesterday morning I was wearing a red sweatshirt jacket for thefirst part of the morning then a brown t-shirt and then for the rest of the day i had my Diamondback first rider tee on. Also a dark blue KI hat like the employees wear

Hands Up or Down?
I usually just keep my hands down on OTSR coasters but other than that they are usually up. Especially on SOB
