I wonder if The Beast will be included on the ERT. Since it's so close to Diamondback. Also it being the 30th year anniversary. Just a hunch though.

I know it's been said but we can certainly hope! = )

^^It will be, but not everyday.

Tiggy, who's head is starting to hurt.

That is terrific. *hopes that opening day is one such day*

Thanks Tiggy.

The official answer from the official man in an email to me:

There will not be a walk back to The Beast this season for members of an accredited roller coaster club/organization. Gold and Platinum pass holders will have early access on Diamondback every public operating day, as well as another major roller coaster. Coaster club members that do not have a Gold or Platinum pass will be able to participate in the early rides on Diamondback and second coaster by showing their valid membership card.

One day.... one day you people will learn to trust me....

I missed that because I was reading King Cobra's response and when I had the window open for my post above Tiggy's and then when I posted my response it was on the next page.

Thanks for bringing that one to my attention. I might have missed it otherwise.

I trust you implicitly. I even trust you about the Florence Freedom's team colors.
