Mega Trip Report (With Pictures!)- Part 1- NEW PHOTOS
I can't wait to see the USS Alabama pictures, I have not been there yet. I have seen some of the planes that are in the hanger before, I think there is a B-24 can't remember the name though. The people that owned it said they had sold it to a battle ship museum, so I am assuming it is the same one, this has been a while back though. As for my avatar? That is a P-51D converted to a TF-51 by the name of Crazy Horse, you know, what they were going to name Diamondback before they got the crazy idea of a snake. (Ride sally ride!!) The plane holds a very special place in my heart, one that very few people have been able to experience. Here is the web site for the plane. http://www.stallion51.com/aircraft/aircraft-crazyh.aspx You two on the other hand...WOW what a trip of a life time this summer. You know my grandmother told me that you can tell that two people belong together just by looking at them. I saw it with my parents and some say they see it with my wife and I, but I really can see it with this picture: http://www.where2next.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5160 What a great couple. I whish many, many happy days to both. Oh and your avatar? It gives me joy to see yours, I had a boarder collie with miss matched eyes and a white stripe down the nose. I do miss my Ethel so, but am reminded with joy when I see your avatar. Monroe who can't get enough of every ones trip reports, but has a special surprise coming to all in August.

Mega Trip Report (With Pictures!)- Part 1- NEW PHOTOS
Very nice report, loved the Corvette pictures. Did you know that if you park your Hummer in a spot marked Corvette, they will ask you to move it! Boy the stuck up people in this world. (Yes that was sarcasm, before you get your hoochies in a bunch)

Questions of my own...
They have been running some specials at times, but the standard price from Kroger's is $34.95. I do not know if they are running a different promo price right now or not. Best bet is to say $34.95 and hope that there is a special price.
-
Questions of my own...
I think $34.95, there is a Kroger on 741, the same road that all the restaurants are on just down a little further. Parking is $10.00. edit: I hope your trip goes well and stay safe!! edit: thanks to Oldiesman for picking on an old man.

world fastest coaster!
Just an FYI. Fox 19 has an F1 race from the ring on right now, (started at 3). There are a couple of camera angles that show the track of the coaster in front of the new grand stands.

I should have known. I really should have known.
"Mom always says don't play ball in the house!!" (True fans will know what I am talking about.) What does that teach us? Well it says that super glue will not fix a priceless vase, and saving a lot of money will not get you quality. (At times spending a lot of money will not get you quality either but.....)

New Kids on the Block Member Rides Diamondback
OK so I looked up New Kids on the Block........I will stick to enjoying his movie career. (Monroe, happy to have missed that band and a couple of others that popped up in his search.)

world fastest coaster!
If you get a German written sight, just look for the British flag and that will take you to an English mirror site. And yes it will be helpful to know German if you go there, but they do have English speaking hosts to help you find the events and display's that are in English. (But it is pretty self explanatory and easy to find on your own.)

PTR: June 14th.
Yes, and why are some blue berries purple? I still like the pictures and TR, or did I say that already, oh well I will say it again then. I still like the pictures and the TR. (As a matter of fact, I like them enough that I will bump this thread again, and probably a couple more times as the week goes on.)
-
PTR: June 14th.
Well no matter where the stand is, was, or will be, I still like the pictures and the TR. Very good AB.

Diamondback Station Lights
^You should have called me and hopped the fence to the private air strip and I would have picked you up. It would have only cost you a "Silver" plated "Wood" nickel.
-
Diamondback Station Lights
Lights are left on in certain areas for many reasons, some being: cleaning crews, maintenance, and security. Most parks that I have been in and or worked in do not sleep especially during the operating months. As a matter of fact, at this very moment (4:37am) crews are getting ready to inspect the many rides and attractions for your enjoyment.

Beech Bend Park!
See This site at the bottom, they also have a ticket ride program that would be cheaper than an armband. Also there is some other things in the area, like a race track and other touristy things. http://www.beechbend.com/prices.htm http://www.beechbend.com/amusementpark.htm http://www.beechbend.com/

Guests Say The Darnest Things
Sounds like they go to Knott's Berry Farm, you will find the Timber Mountain Log Ride there. Close to Thornberries, but a better theme. I have also seen a lot of Sling Shots called moon shots. I will bet that we will see a lot more of this, CF park goers tend to visit other CF parks just to see what they are missing. On the Ka vs. TTD issue: The Germans do not have a clue when it comes to records. Last visit I spent a good hour on rcdb.com trying to explain the difference because one of them tried to tell me that: "TTD, you know the big green one in NJ wasn't going to be the fastest any more when they finished there coaster". and second: "I rode The Beast, and it wasn't that long or exciting, besides they tore that down a couple of years ago." (Never been to the US, but frequented Australia)

Diamondback's All-Clear horn
^Hahahaha, I was thinking some what of the same thing: "Will you people wait till I get away from the 2 inch hydraulic lines, jees just give me a little time." (well that and a couple of choice words.) Those Ka people were and still are a little impatient.
