Pillsberry123 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Sitting in computer class. There's a conversation across the room right now about how "Diamondback is the tallest coaster in the world".<br><br>EDIT: Now there's someone saying that The Vortex is taller haha<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Saturday while Tom and I were on Voyage's lift at Holiday World, I excitedly yelled that it was my 11th (?) ride of the day. This 10 year old (?) girl in front of us turned around and smugly said "This is my 5,000th ride." My response was a sarcastic "uh huh." kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbfan Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Had a class trip, here is what I heard: Flight of Fear is outside. Son of Beast is closed because people died on it, and now they are going to blow it up. BLSC changed its name becuase the ride was so bad the movie dropped its sponsership. Adventure Express is a bad ride. Invertigo is the best ride in the park. Flight of Fear launches at 120mph. Diamondback is 400ft tall. Drop Tower was where the girl got her legs caught off. Both Racers are forward because they switched it forward for one year, then couldn't get the backwards train back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I haven't heard any good ones recently, however I am always listening for them. Not really something false that people say, but I hear this all the time at Diamondback. "There's no seat belt!" Then you know you have a first timer....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you know you have a first timer....LOL My favorites are when the ride ops are saying push down and pull up on the speakers, but you still have people stuck in the restraint not releasing it correctly. I usally tell them push down and pull up and on occasion helped them out when the gates opened for me to load the train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 "You know, Diamondback was originally supposed to be a 500 foot vertical drop coaster with 20 hills and almost 200mph!" - some random person. What an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 This was posted on a POV of Racer on Youtube. "the reason blue racer doesn't win is because at the begining it doesn't go down all the way so they satrt blue first but red still wins " I'll spare his name.

I would just make the bozos ride again... if they aren't smart enough to follow directions, they need the crap scared out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 This was about May 2008 when the construction area for DB was starting to show up: My friend told me that they were going to expand Nickelodeon Universe to that area. Then look what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainedBeast Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 A few of my personal favorites~ The KI&MVRR isn't a "Real" train. The Crypt is a Roller coaster The Beast is the coaster that is shut down and the Son of Beast is still running. King Cobra will be put back into it's place. (I heard that one last time I was in the park, I tried so hard not to giggle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster_junky Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 i had a dream once that wicked twister did have two trains, in my dream there was a piece of switch track that worked kind of like the "lift" of round about, at freestyle music park, that way there was a "standby" train in case something happened to the other, it was a very weird dream.

The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 See also Batman and Robin: The Chiller, which operated two trains on one track, with switching in the station (not unlike Firehawk)...but was a shuttle coaster. There the entire loaded train swung into the center of the station to connect with the track, while the other train was loaded on the other side...

Pillsberry123 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 On a youtube video comment: SoB is undergoing a $7M~ layout and track reworking. The ride will only be the same up to the top of the lfit hill. Everything after the lift hill (including the first drop) will be torn down and completely redone, this time using higher quality Intamin track, instead of the cheap, prefab Intamin track it used before. The ride will be much smoother, and the new layout will completely eliminate previous problem areas. The coaster is due to reopen summer 2012. ... The italicized part made me laugh the most!
