Took my son a couple of weekends ago, park looked packed.....so we bought Fast Passes. Needless to say we rode Banshee 12 times.....yes 12 It was amazing.....front ....back....and every seat in between. Such an incredible ride!

So I have never been to KI on opening weekend, but my son and one of his buddies is BEGGING to go......just to ride Banshee I realize it may be a really good idea to get Fast Lane passes. Just didn't know what to expect. I can imagine even the Fast Lane pass line will be HUGE! Thoughts?

When it comes to testing the ride. Do they bring in the KI crew that will be running the ride? How does that all work....esp the training on a new coaster!

Just got back from a great day at KI! What's up with all of the scarecrows though....this thing is going to be HUGE!

Before Diamondback was announced........how spot on were people's predictions as to what kind of coaster (or ride) it would be? It doesn't seem like KI is leaving many clues as last time......maybe it's to early (

Dumb question........what is the difference between Diamondback and Leviathon? I follow KICentral...quite a bit.....and I love all of the speculation! Can't wait to see what we get.......I just don't know a lot about the different types of coasters.

I wonder how long it will take to demolish it? They should have a huge bonfire when it's complete and I'll bring the marshmellows

We go every chance we get!!! We have the season passes but getting those Fast Lane passes was a treat! We will probably go 5 or 6 times this year...if not more

My son Jacob said after about the 10th ride on DB "mom I feel like a superstar!" LOL!

It wasn't on Saturday.

Took my 10 year old to KI this past Saturday. Got there around 11am. This was the first time he was tall enough to ride Diamondback (54 inches). Was told there was a 90 minute wait Bought the Fast Lane passes.........rode DB 10 times and stopped counting on the other rides. I know it is expensive.....but so worth it! It was his birthday for god's sake!!! Mama on the other hand was really feeling it the next day; after 4 times on The Beast......but so worth it!!!

What a beauty http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/coasters/new00/pki_sob/pki_sob_photos.html

Have they done anything to SOB at all maintenance wise? When was the last time they tested?! I loved the ride even though it beat the heck out of you

When was the last time Son of Beast tested? Just curious! I would think that they would have to do some kind of maintenance on it every once in a while. I always loved SOB with the loop and without. Just wish they would decide what they are going to do with it!!

Any pictures? I've seen several questons asked about possible development areas but I've never seen any pictures. Thanks, Maria

any pictures?

Has anyone ever been back there?

I took both of my girls and a couple of their friends 5/15 and the first thing we hit was DB. First time to ride I might add! The girls were in the rows in front of me and I of course rode by myself . But I did ask the single rider that sat next to me if he was a member of KIC forums ( he seemed so knowledgable of the coaster) but he wasn't. I was so hoping it was one of you guys! Maria

That is exactly how it felt! I can't wait to ride it again!! Thanks guys! And sorry for the stupid question Maria

What's a GCII?

I rode it for the first time yesterday and all I can say is wow!!! But maybe it is my short legs; but I noticed a lot of people legs were just hanging. the airtime is awesome!

Back in 1989 my soon to be hubbie decided to raise his arms going into the helix and broke his arm!!(along with some cuts and abrasions) "To be safe to say; he now; when he goes; keeps his arms down! BTW he's 6'4. Also could have been the beverages he was partaking in that day. Maria

Do you think (and this is just a guess) that they will eventually do away with Top Gun (or what ever it's called) and build something back that way and over by SOB? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Maria

I'm taking my girls Friday afternoon after school (we'll get there around 4:30) to get our season passes processed and we were going to stay to ride some rides . What to you guys think the crowds will be like? We really want to get on DB!!!! Maria

Anyone have aerial shots of the park over the years starting from day 1. I would love to see all of the changes. Maria
