This TR froze my computer twice, then gave it the blue screen of death....then froze it AGAIN! Try resizing the pictures so they aren't MASSIVE on the screen before KIC does the automatic resizing thumbnails, it'd help a LOT.

Oh! I forgot about that! Dx

Yeah, but I've taken that shot a bunch of times before. I want to put in something that's original. It's down between the: -Diamondback night shot with the train going down the hill. -Son of Beast picture that's looking through the track to the lift hill with the sun peeking through.

I haven't picked one yet! Haha...it's so hard.

Hmm...I need to walk back by WWC. Nice shots, but don't try to zoom in so much. Quality of quantity.

Almost forgot Kawana! Nice seeing you!

I don't feel like adding comments since internet crashed as i was about to post last time. </a>

I don't think any park will be getting a massive Intamin rocket coaster in the future!

Incase you forgot where we were.. Second airtime hill that's like, 190ft. Insane. Ohh hey! where'd you get that?! I want one! How much did it cost you, fella? x1000 Annoying. I hardly wore mine at all. This is where you can find Ryan and Dane. Interesting... He would later appear at The Beast Party/Junior High dance. Beast cake and old souvineer cups.....with our already unlimited drinks. From Beast entrance Around the helix... Cresting the hill on a beautiful blue night Photo entry? Fireworks starting...interesting shape. It's fine to shake the camera in the dark. Oooooooohhhhh....ahhhhhh Oh no, Vortex isn't sinking....IT'S MELTING! Always a nice display... My group waiting for the front. Splashdown area and Rivertown. Pretty. Heading out to the lift. Day or night....awesome. How was your ride? Mike (in the orange) after his midnight ride. More to come for Sunday

^Hahaha, that was too funnny! It was nice seeing you throughout the day. Now I can put a face to the name! Yeah, that would be Mike in the orange, he's on Theme Park Review (which is my main theme park site) and I'm not sure about a girl with red hair...must have been someone just behind/infront of us. I'm trying to recall....bu there were so many single rider rides! -Zach

I need to go there =(

^And we did have a ride on Reptar! Thanks for the comments everyone, I can't say it enough. I actually do photography for a semi-pro paintball team. I've sent emails to a few parks where I've taken pictures, gotten compliments from B&M on my photos...but no luck. I really wish I could actually do photos for a park exclusively. If I had a whole day to go the park and focus soley on photos...I'm sure my pictures would be 1000x better. This is just in between my rides. Not trying to brag anything....but I just see things, find angles, and....click! I'm planning on taking classes down at Xavier this fall. Maybe a major in marketing and minor in photography? Thanks everyone. -Zach

Oooohhhhhhh okay, nevermind then! My bad! I don't think I was really introduced. Thanks for the comment, everyone! If you see yourself on the train, feel free to download!

^ Sorry dude, I don't know you, or what you look like. When I get around to it, I'll post the full versions.

^Dude....that's a guy. Hey Gary! It was nice seeing you at ERT, too! I had a feeling I might see you there. I think I got about 30 rides in on DB during the weekend...I'm up to 60-65, haha! I know! I had walk ons for my rows: 4, 7, 8, and I waited for the front and back. Such awesome stuff! Here's some more pics.. Nice first drop...good... Blow a bubble! Possible photo entry #2? Uppp....and downnnn Possible photo entry #3? Hey Ted! First drop MadNesSSSsSsssSS Back of the train... B&M is good at this. Bottoming out.... Happy riders... Someone looks ....like crying? I'm feeling better now? Another shot Speedy... Oh so pretty! Fourth hill. Here's a series of Angie, Justin, Kitty, her husband, Tom, and...a few others on Diamondback! Feel free to download these, guys. More to come later. -Zach

* Whoever said that the braking on the ride is minimal and has no effect on the ride, I beg to differ. The 3rd hill brake was grabbin significantly last night and killed what would have been a wonderful hill. Braking on the midcourse absolutely kills the second half, and the helix is probably one of the lamest I've encountered with little force or much of anything happening. Just brining this up again...

^Dude, I have her, Kitty, Rach, and a bunch more on the whole ride. Don't worry. I've got to sift through a BUNCH of pics. Are you ready for SHEER TERROR?!!? Some eyes rolling into the back of the head madness?!?!? ....then you're ready for..... ..... ... ... .

RWW was pretty good. Good surprises: -Free photos -Unltd. Drinks -Exxxxxtra Diamondback ERT Bad: -Trim brake right before MCBR D:< I'm not sure how many Diamondback rides I got this weekend...maybe 30 or so? Prob. It was fun meeting up with everyone (well, mostly everyone) that I ran into, or visa versa. As always, I took some pictures. I'm not going to go in depth about the whole event because there will be others that do that. I don't do boring details and pictures, duh. Check 'em out. Don't steal. -Zach Oh, row seven and eight FTW. Let's not get too carried away, Beast. Ground perspective is nice. Wayyyy too many people. Hurry, run them over while they're taking pictures! lolwut Sums up the ride if you ask me. A little smile, but meh. I'd love to ride the old Beast, though. Look out for the trim! My mom tells me I'm a gangster. So throw up a peace, yo, bro. Didn't forget ya, girls. This would make a GREAT prop for the Down Home Country...show thing. Weee...first airtime hill on the return. Oh cray-up Just about when you starting being ejected from the seat. Property! We aren't slaves to you, B&M! .....um, dude...we sold our soul so we could do those 30,000 test runs before the opening. .............oh yeah. Fair enough. Ohhh....Vortex. Lookin' good. Just....give me a few gray crayons. I'll help out. All smiles. Hey! What's everyone so shocked and amazed and surprised about??!?!!? Oh, lulz. Who are you, mystery orange rope/wire?!?!?!? Getting all nice and warmed up for us.... Airtime all over.... Interesting transition. More to come.

a. If you mean Nick Universe, it too closes during electrical storms. b. If you mean kittyland, is that where kittenpooh is? Epic post =)

wow.

Ouch, I remember holding that pose for....well, I don't know how long...but at least two trains went by!

B&Ms have a lot of proximities. Those are the things along the ride that tell the contorl system where the train is at all times. IF one were to fail, the system would lose control of the ride...that means there could be a train dropping off the lift and a train coming up to the MCBR, because the system didn't know where the other train was! Solution? The ride shuts itself down to prevent a lot of things. I know that's one things I hear people talk about B&Ms and their down time. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Also, Diamondback runs in the rain. Not a hard rain, just rain....and it shuts down when lightning/storms are in the area. It runs two trains in the rain, from what I've seen being there in the rain. Probably to give more space between the trains.

I updated my avatar so I'm not dead, haha. It should be a bit easier now!

If some dude has a biiiig camera and a penguin hat on. Bahaha.

Fun talking and riding with ya, Angie! Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else at RWW! -Zach
