coaster_junky

six flag's great adventure's bizarro looks amazing. i really want to go ride it.

i'm pretty sure that all of the monorail cars are at jungle jim's, with two setting out front of the store and the rest over at the loading station

this is great to hear, i'm going to st. louis over the summer and really want to go there insted of set at my sisters softball games.

oh, sorry i thought you were looking at the ride in the background of the picture of the second half of mantis (fourth picture from bottom), you are looking at wicked twister. http://www.cedarpoint.com/_includes/flash/...;videoWidth=320

http://www.cedarpoint.com/_includes/flash/...;videoWidth=320 ^that is a link to mantis in action, but i think you are talking about top thrill which has a link below http://www.cedarpoint.com/_includes/flash/...;videoWidth=320

but, they still have the cars for it, you can see them by the fence when going through the employee entrance.

^well wasn't it suppost to be bubba gumps again this year? maybe the went ahead and ordered stuff like they went on and put it on the park map

^^my dog enjoyed his first trip to Kings Island, that was until he was left at his "hotel"

i think he had a coin stuck to it close to the begining of the brake run.

^yea, the other day a kid in my class was talking about how his piece of gum has been stuck on the wall for the last 3 seasons

so did they try to run it with three trains, sorta like x-flight?

as of friday at math and science day 6, on 4-25 i got 2 rides; on 5-10 i got 3; and on 5-15 i got 1, i'm not going to leave my group just to ride Diamondback.

i still would like to see it without the building, and would it be possible to make modifications to make it able to run in the elements?

in the video that plays in the line, doesn't it say that the single rider line is only a standby line?

I only wish SoB currently ran with a capacity of 1000 pph... fondly remembering 3 trains, loops, and fast moving lines. Last time I checked it (last season), capacity was well less than 500 Edit: Corrected typo, capacity # should have said less than 500 Son of Beast never ran three trains, and to me it seems like the same amount of time waiting in line.

you get it at the entrance of the ride. edit: i was beat to it.

and speaking of the door being replaced with a gate reminds me of my first trip to Kings Island last year, i was standing in line for the crypt all exicted about the new program, when the door slid open and then the gondola came swinging by. then the door slid closed, but it was kinda weird.

i don't, mainly because of the reasons that will have led to it's removal, but then again the did move x-flight to ki.

i do have one request, if they do decide to remove the ride, i want to see it fully constructed without the garage. mainly because i want to see it's true height compared to the other things in rivertown.

i almost rode it today and i must say that if this is true, i want to cry because i loved the new program for last season. i wish they would just take out the giant top spin and replace it with a regular one.

does the track to wooden coasters swell when it rains, because if it does i could sorta understand the bumping down to one train each on them? and i have never seen The Racer or The Beast run only one train.

i unfortunatly have only rode Diamondback twice, once in row 16 and once in row 3, and i must say that i got twice as much air time in row 3 than row 16. but i still think it is a very good ride.

the cars for the trains remind me of the cars that they put on haunted house rides.
