  1. Night Row was the most obvious hint Terpy has ever given. And most people still never got it.

    I got it. I just haven't said anything. And it was a very revealing hint this time. I think I know what we're getting...or at least, to me, the list of possibilities has been greatly narrowed down. But lest I'm over-interpreting terp, I'll remain ever-so-humbly reserved, keep my musings to myself, and be thought a fool rather than open my mouth and remove all doubt. Because it could just be a diversion, and I'd hate for the rug to be pulled out from under me.

    BTW - all this talk about the MCBRs...let's not forget that Diamondback has some pretty fun hills, a helix, and spashdown after the MCBR.

    You would think someone with nearly 40000 post would be able to be more descriptive.

  2. Pretty sure it's 2.

    Pretty sure it's not.

    From the manual:A6924BC9-8549-4BF4-BD92-D7A532A625DE_zps8269D675-8D4E-4F9D-A5C3-0E1085299E9E_zps

    There are 3 clicks until it is at it's place to be considered closed. Trust me and Ki Man. We've both handled the restraints countless times in operation and in training (I know for my training, we were showed each click and there are 3 before the train can be dispatched). We have been taught to know how the ride works, what it sounds like, what it feels like, what it shouldn't sound like, what it shouldn't feel like, how the restraints operate manually and automatically, how the restraints feel, sound, etc.

    End of this discussion with you.

    To the OP:

    As far as Diamondback seat sizes, they are all exactly the same. There are no differences. When it comes to the test seat, it's the same exact one as what is on the trains. Having experienced this, when you may need help, you are more than likely in between clicks which require the restraint to be brought down to the next click as the restraint isn't locked properly for operation.

    Do you have permission from b&m and ki?

    Can't you get in trouble posting pages of a ride manual on the internet?

  3. With that logic Vortex, Firehawk, FOF would not get any business, yet hold some of the longest wait times in the park.

    Hmmmm

    To quote the crypt: "long lines does not necessarily equal the ride popularity. Fof is up there with Invertigo for capacity.

  4. There is no ride called Deja Vu at neither Six Flags Great America nor California's Great America. Perhaps you mean the ride similar to Wicked Twister located at SFGAm.

    Um, it was at six flags great america in 2006. Nice try crypt.

  5. I don't get the hate on th vekoma flyers, they are very comfortable. I also don't see the hate for Invertigo and the deja vu's. I rode deja vu at mm, great america, and georgia. They had very comfortable restraints. Also hanging on the first spike pressed against the restraint sitting inthe back row was aawsome.

  6. -This topic may reach SOB critical mass in a matter of hours...

    We are not close to that stage yet.

    Yet....... :)

    The SoB topics are so numerous over many years & have so much imagination in their contents, it would be of epic proportions to reach an "SoB topic status".

    I have felt for many years that the KIC community would not be where it's at without SoB to discuss.

    ThrillNetwork used to have lots of posts each day - now it's down to a trickle. Reason = everyone's here! (and we're all a bunch of SOB's - if you know what I mean

    A downfall of thrillnetwor was the arrogance of their administrators. They got cocky and eventually everyone left their site.
