  1. I sadly will not be there tonight :( but will tomorrow! :D

    So anyway, for those going to KI tonight and riding D-back, I'm just curious to know how and if operations have changed at all since last Saturday?

    In particular I'm curious about whether the SRL is used, and if so, are they still using the cards and does it seem like the number of SR cards is more than last weekend and if there's any consistency about waiting for SR cards if none are immediately available?

    I'm also curious as to if they're still assigning seats, and how strict they are about requesting a row if you're waiting in the regular queue?

    Lastly, other operational tidbits would be good too such as how long the line is, if they're running all 3 trains, and how fast the dispatches are?

    The weather tonight should be awesome, and I actually think it's not going to be super busy (hence wondering about not all 3 trains running), and there could be some major riding potential!! I'm skeptical about the 5th hill trim tonight, however, especially if it stays warm until close like it's supposed to.

  2. Speaking of which, I know I've ridden Avatar before, but is it true I could ride that kids suspended coaster even though I'm an adult??

    Yes you sure can, as long as you are above 44" and under 76"

    I believe Little Bills is the only coaster with the must ride with child specification.

    Heh...I think I'm short enough. I guess if the line's ever short enough I might give this a whirl. I've always thought if I was a kid it'd look like a fun coaster! That said, I'm certainly not expecting ANY thrills whatsoever.

  3. Really great TR!! Although, it will be even better when I can actually see the pictures, which are currently firewalled by my work ^_^

    But the best thing about this summer is hopefully going to KI with my fam and friends who haven't been in a few years...I'm going with my younger sister at the end of May and I hope we get along as well as you did! We went to CP in 07 and had an awesome time, but being there for her first D-back ride will be priceless along with everyone else I go with this year! :D

  4. ^^I have to admit...here I am debating about whether or not to go to KI *both* this Sat and Sun or just Sat, and here's some chap saying he can't visit until June?! Wowza!! I mean, worst case scenario in just 3 days I'll be getting my D-back'ing on!! :D

  5. ^^Hmmmm....seems like you've still missed a few things to me!! ;)

    Actally, though, you have! The Dyson hand dryers! I think it would be cool for KI to get a haystacker by WWC as well...Terpy could then dry off from that elephant! :D

  6. Hey Rex, sorry to hear about all the travel obstacles and I hope both you and Beast make it back to KI again real, real soon especially since Diamondback is so unbelievable!!

    All of that said, very ironic how my brother and his g/f were on vacation in Denver and originally flying back to Indianapolis on Saturday morning, but changed their flight to Friday evening, and after a 2 and a half hour delay made it back (I guess my bro said there was a long line for plane de-icing that rivaled D-back's Gold Pass line Saturday morning!!)

    But I guess my question is, was taking any other flight an option? He flew Frontier and his flight left at 7:00 and he arrived in Indy at like 10:00 pm on Friday night, which such time table might have given you better odds?

    Either way, I'm sure having to not be at KI at 6:00 am next time will help a lot too!! :)

  7. The padding on the restraints is weathered, like a Nerf football that has been left out in the elements for a couple of years.

    Ahhh...but aren't they replacing all the restraints one-by-one?

    I actually thought Invertigo was really starting to look bad myself, and this from someone who still thought it was ok last year, but it's becoming undeniable now...
