June 30, 200917 yr 203 as of tonight. Shut up Adam... Darlene is beating you though! Well Zach now is your cahnce to catch up to me. I wont be at KI for a wile goign on my 6 park tour.
June 30, 200917 yr I'm stuck at 70 and have been for a while. But I've been to Holiday World twice since my last KI visit and am going to Worlds of Fun this afternoon/evening. Mmm Prowler....
July 9, 200917 yr well, i got in three rides last monday in the 2 1/2 hours i was in the park, which brings my abnormally high Diamondback count to nine.
July 9, 200917 yr as of yesterday, I have 115 rides! even though thats nithing compared to some Shut up Matt. I'm at 70.
July 20, 200917 yr Today I marathoned in the SRL at Diamondback. I am now happily sitting at 129 rides to date.
July 20, 200917 yr Today I marathoned in the SRL at Diamondback. I am now happily sitting at 129 rides to date. But don't you kind of wish you'd gotten 20 rides in today and made it to 130?
July 20, 200917 yr I'm at 87 rides.. only 13 more until my 100th! I think a few of my friends are shocked that I don't have more, seeing as how I only live an hour away from Kings Island. I don't get many chances to go to Holiday World or Cedar Point, so I try to get to those parks when I can.

August 8, 200917 yr Bumping this thread - Had a good weekend (so far) with 7 rides last night between 8pm and Close and 13 rides this morning during ERT - including as close to a Zen ride as I think I'll get with only 6 of us on the first train of the day. Total = 89 But, the reason for the bump is some of the groups of people with high numbers I've got to ride with. On the Fireworks ride last night I was riding in row 2 and combined in that first car we had well over 1000 rides (guy named Gary with 660+, pkiboy ~290, me 76), then this morning I rode with several folks who are also well into the 100's: Darlene, Karen, markr, Gary again, a guy I'll call Tie Dye J (if you've seen his first rider t-shirts, you know who I mean). I've got to say one of the best things about Diamondback (beside the airtime) is meeting some neat people with a love of roller coasters.
August 8, 200917 yr How many rides is Darlene up to? Surely this Gary guys didn't pass her up, did he? Also, when I went a few weeks ago I rode with one guy during ERT who had over 225 (that was the last I heard he had, but he was still riding later in the day). Anyways, I have 26 now!

Well I had 290 im at 295 I got 5 rides in last night in 1 hour Gotta love the SRL. I should get 300 by tomorrow or even tonight who knows. As far as Gary he is a great guy so far I think he has the lead. But its not about how many rides you have its about having FUN. Great riding with you KIfan1980 gotta love the front seat.
August 8, 200917 yr I only have 17 , but I'm going the 12th and maybe the 13th. So I will get many rides in then!
August 8, 200917 yr How many rides is Darlene up to? Surely this Gary guys didn't pass her up, did he? I think he did, he said they were riding together one weekend and were close, but she was away for a while and he took the lead. But its not about how many rides you have its about having FUN. Great riding with you KIfan1980 gotta love the front seat. Agree completely about having FUN! As for riding with you, I did enjoy the front seat ride. I'd be willing to stand in line next to you anytime
August 8, 200917 yr Only 60. I want to get atleast 100 ride in this season though. But really I don't ride it alot so I can brag about how many times I've ridden it, I ride it because I like it, and I ride other rides alot too. Quality over quantity.
August 8, 200917 yr But really I don't ride it alot so I can brag about how many times I've ridden it, I ride it because I like it...Quality over quantity. That's the way I feel...I don't want to ride it so much that I get bored with it...God knows it will be quite awhile before Kings Island gets another "big one".

That's the way I feel...I don't want to ride it so much that I get bored with it...God knows it will be quite awhile before Kings Island gets another "big one". Yeah I'd rather enjoy all my rides and have fun than get bored with a ride. On RWCW I rode Diamondback too much and got bored with it and felt sick. And we probably wont get another huge coaster for another 5-10 Years, and as of now We only have 1 cause Son of Beast is closed.
August 8, 200917 yr I'm up to 6 DB rides now! But that's because I live about 3 hrs away and have only made 6 trips this season, one of which we only stayed half the day and another one we spent with the kids in Nick U and Boomerang Bay. So really only 4 solid riding days, 2 of those being quite busy (opening day and memorial day weekend). So far my total ride count is 93 and I'm happy with that except I wish i had gotten more than 2 Firehawk rides. I'm done for the summer, but I'll be back in October and my goal is to double my DB count on a saturday ERT.
August 9, 200917 yr Right now I have 135 rides. I got 10 of those at ERT yesteday.........Did that guy pass darlene? if so. WOW! haha
August 9, 200917 yr Meh, I've sort of lost count but I'd say I'm near 75 or so. I did ride with Violakat on her 100th ride, so that was cool.
August 9, 200917 yr 391. Have fallen way behind in past month as busy taking care of some personal business.
