Goliath at LaRonde

I'm up to 60 after my 5 frozen rides last night.

My cousin, her sister, and I arrived at the park around 3pm. This was my cousin's sisters first trip to KI this year, and she showed it. We rode BLSC and she was scared. So, me and my cousin told her she could wait while we rode other rides. We went and rode DB, row 1 and row 16. Well, after this my cousin's sis was tired of waiting so we told her she could ride AE with us. We told her it was really small and smooth. Rode AE, scared her to death. She then said she wouldn't ride anything else. So, my cousin and I rode The Racer. We then rode The Beast and BLSC. Then it was time for dinner. After eating, it was starting to get dark. The fog was starting to cover the park and my cousin's sis was freaking out. We went and rode AE and Racer again. By now, it was completely dark, so we headed to DB. It was broke down so we rode Beast. Got to the station and they were taking a train off to make it 2 train operation. Waited about 20 minutes which was the longest wait we had all day. When we got off, we heard DB's all clear horn, so we headed over. We rode 3 times, twice in row 2 and once in row 16. I am now up to 60 rides on DB this season. After DB, we decided to just walk around. My cousin and her sis ended up riding dodgems. Then, my cousin and I rode BLSC and Racer. We made our last ride of the night on AE in the very back row. Very fun. Ended up being a fun day.

My favorite memories of this 2009 season would have to be... KIC Glam Rock Meet-Up. It was my first time meeting anyone from KIC and even though my day was cut short, it was great to meet you guys. Diamondback. The first coaster that I was actually excited about and couldn't wait for. Its pretty bad that 3 months before opening day you have a countdown on your desktop. Theres probably a few more but I have too many things on my mind to think of any more.

I was long awaiting this trip for over two months and did not end the way I expected. My cousin, her son(little cousin) and I left my house around 9:45. Got to the park at around 10:40. Since my little cousin was just over the 48" mark, we headed straight to The Beast. Great ride as always but a little chilly. We then headed over to BLSC since my little cousin had never rode it before. He absolutely loved it. We were going to head to Vortex but it was still closed(apparently, it was too cold) so we went to The Racer. Rode twice in a row. Headed our way to AZ but found nothing open. My cousin decided she needed to stop to smoke and so we sat outside festhaus. While sitting, we overheard the rides were about to start running. So we headed to fFlight Deck. My little cousin wanted to ride with me so we rode 1:1, 7:1, and 4:1 without having to wait for any seat. On our way back to the back of the park, we rode AE without any wait for any seat. After that, we headed back to Vortex since it was running. Me and my little cousin rode in 5:1 and his mom rode in 4:2. We then headed to lunch. After coming back from BK, we decided to go to NU, but every ride had a decent line. We decided to ride RR since its the only one I can really ride comfortably. After Reptar, we decided to ride KI&MVRR so I could get some pics of DB. I then decided to head up the Crypt's exit so I could get some more. My cousin and her son then went and got their pastel portrait done. After getting my little cousin done, me and him went and rode The Beast. Rode in 1:1 and he loved it. We then went to The Racer and rode. At this time it was around 6:30. We went and got a bite to eat. The fog started at 7 and then the monsters came out. My little cousin got scared and we left the park at 7:05. Not the ending I want but better than nothing. And now....the pictures...

I'm hoping the crowds will be down tomorrow. Going for what will most likely be my last trip of the season and I need at least 20 rides on DB

Most likely won't make it tomorrow, or anytime this weekend for that matter. Hopefully next weekend.

I believe the green train's restraints are a little tighter than the others. I can ride without being stapled on both the red and brown, but have to be stapled on the green so I can ride.

I believe new trains would make a huge improvement. The trains we have now were not designed for the ride.

The only thing I've ever lost was a cell phone on Firehawk. The worst part is they were in a zipper pocket that was zipped up.

I used to be able to ride DB nonstop 10-12 times. But during my last trip, I barely made it to 4. I don't know what happened but I think it might have been the 2 month dry spell without a coaster.

I would also have to say that Mean Streak is the worst coaster I've ever road. Besides the trims, its been an extremely rough ride every time I've rode.

And here are the pics. It was dead when we got there. It was dead all day Justin on his horsey. Shirley and Justin on the train

This turned out to be a very fun day. I don't have the chance to upload the pics yet but I will as soon as I get a chance. Me and my friend Shirley(need_for_speed) left wilmington at around 8:10 AM. After stopping for snacks and energy drinks, we made it to the park at around 9:00. Justin(justin_M17) was going to meet us at the park, but had car issues and couldn't make it. We went to DB ERT and got 4 rides in and I finally got my 50th in. After ERT, I was feeling really sick, so we decided to text justin to see if we wanted to come pick him up. We left the park around 10:15 and arrived back around 11:15. We went and rode DB another time. Then we started heading around the park. We rode The Beast, then met up with another KIC'er. I'm not that good with names so I cannot remember what his name was. Then the 4 of us rode Vortex, FoF, Racer, A.E., Delirium, and Invertigo. We then decided to ride Drop Tower. This is my least favorite ride in the park, and didn't want to ride. I did anyway but barely fit into the seat, I actually had to have help from the attendent. I ended up screaming like a little girl the whole drop down. Then we went over and rode F.D. By now, I wasn't feeling well again, so we decided to go up in the E.T. for some pics. When we got back down, we thought it would be fun to ride the carousel. After that, we decided to hit up BLSC because the line was very short. It was starting to rain, so we headed over to KI&MVRR. It started raining really hard as soon as we got on but stopped by the time we got back. We wanted to go ride DB some more, so we rode another 3 times. By now, we were all tired and I was feeling ill again, so we left, took Justin home, and headed home ourselves.

I had to vote for KI's woodies because I have yet to go to HW.

I still haven't done skyflyer, but I seriously want to. I just won't do it alone and anytime I'm at the park, my group is full of chickens who won't do it with me.

That would be wicked.

I have gotten airtime on them, but I was in row 2. last year when I rode in the middle of the train, I stayed in my seat.

My vote goes to DB. I've only rode MF and Magnum once a piece this year. MF was ok and Magnum was painful. So DB all the way.

I wanna try skyscraper sometime while I'm up there. But no one I go with will ride and I don't really want to do it alone.

I get dizzy on any flat that spins except for Delirium. I won't go near Monster or Shake Rattle and Roll. I did Avatar and my body didn't like me after that one.

I am as well

Sounds like you guys had a great time. Maybe next time I'll be able to make it.

100% as well. A few lucky guesses
