Kings Island Open Friday, April 24th
I'm not sure if I will be there for the ERT. We have to get my husband's season pass processed and I don't know what the line will look like, plus we're having to make a slight detour to pick up a coupon from a friend for $10 off his pass. But, I'll be there shortly after if I'm not there right at 4:30. See everyone there!!

Kings Island Open Friday, April 24th
My husband and I will be there. I'll be wearing my Diamondback First Rider shirt and black capris with black & white Skecher shoes. Pretty much the same outfit I had on last weekend if you saw any of the pics of me in my TR. If it gets cold enough I will put on my KIC hoodie. Wave if you see me!

For those at KI tonight, y'alls better post a TR!
I will be there all night tonight and will try to shoot some video of DB dispatches for you.

The Waterpark
Pretty much all water parks have this rule. It's to prevent scratching the finish on the water slides. And yes, it's incredibly difficult to find shorts without grommets. You can cut the grommets out and make a pair of shorts your dedicated water park shorts. The water park also sells grommet-less shorts, though I don't know what kind of prices they are anymore. When I worked there (6 years ago), they were actually about the same price you'd find outside the park. Last year I had grommets on the front of my shorts but not the back (I wear a pair of nylon shorts over my swim suit) and they let me on the slides, but that was probably because they were being nice rather than they were actually supposed to.

Top five parks
1. Kings Island (my beloved home park) 2. Cedar Point 3. Disney World 4. Six Flags over Georgia 5. Libertyland, only because it's the only other park I've been to.

I have an idea.
Going back to Avatar's idea, I use Twitter from my BlackBerry. If you've got mobile web you can use mobile Twitter. I update my Twitter fairly often when I'm at the park, so anyone who follows me can check to see approximately where I am at any given time. I'm violakat03 on Twitter for anyone that's interested in following me. I love Angie's original idea. Especially with Terpy's addition of putting it on a calendar. Some sites have an event calendar where you can click on a day and see what's going on that day. Something like that where we could add our usernames to the calendar on days we're going would be outstanding.

New Upgrades
Fricker's has those dryers and while you're using them, you can see your skin ripple. Very strong dryers, and probably the best I've used. I hate them. For me, they hurt.

Adventure Express repairs
It's possible that the stop you encountered was not a e-stop, but a setup because the block ahead was full. This is a normal occurrence under 3 train operation of AE. It was most likely an e-stop because when we walked past there at about 10:50, there was a ride op moving a trash can in the way of the entrance and telling everyone it was broken. It stayed that way for the next hour or so.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
Even better, not only did the DDN call it "THE" Diamondback, they also said it has a 215 foot tall first hill.

Diamondback Question
We found the test seat less forgiving than the actual ride. Your best bet is try the test seat - if it turns green, you are definitely good to go. If it's close, wait in line anyway - my theory is you never know until you try and the ride is definitely more forgiving than the test seat.

I guess patience was the answer. Today the new avatar is showing for everyone.

Thrill Biscuit's Small Opening Day PTR
It's in need of a paint job, and it's starting to sound rather creaky.

Giga's Opening Day PTR/VTR
I use 5 hour energy. It always works. Plus there's not much caffeine or sugar in it so you don't crash.

Thrill Biscuit's Small Opening Day PTR
I'd rather have it loud in the bathrooms than loud on the midway. At least there's a purpose to it being loud in the restrooms.

Giga's Opening Day PTR/VTR
I'm just fat and out of shape, lol. I spent all day Sunday sleeping and lazing around, recovering. But the good thing is, days like Saturday will help me lose weight!

Kings Island Open Friday, April 24th
They will direct you once you get there. For opening day, they went down by Scooby Doo, but that's no guarantee that will be the same all season. Just listen to the directions of the park employees, they shouldn't lead you astray.

Giga's Opening Day PTR/VTR
I totally forgot about my napkin swan. That was good fun. I learned that I don't have enough energy to keep up with the giga. She is non-stop energy, I need breaks every now and then!

Dvo's Opening Day
Actually, I was able to choose my seat when I was in the SRL. I think it depends. I think you can say hey I want to go last row or something and they'll stick you with another single rider, but they prefer not to. I rode with someone on my second to last trip that was on his 19th lap of the day. On his 20th ride, they asked him where he wanted to sit and him and another single rider got front seat. People in the main line were complaining that they got to choose their own seat.

Thrill Biscuit's Small Opening Day PTR
I was totally digging the Pink Floyd (they played Comfortably Numb when we were in Action Zone), but yeah, you're right, that isn't the right style of music for a kiddie area. They should have area-appropriate music rather than the same music park wide. Am I the only one who thought the music on I-street was WAY too loud? You had to yell to be heard over it.

Avatar not updating
I uploaded a new photo for my avatar. However, it's not showing up for anyone but me. I told friends to check out my new avatar and they say it's the same one, even after force-refreshing (F5 on PCs). It took several tries to get it to show for me even. I've re-uploaded it and it's still not showing for most people. Help?
