the tallest roller coaster i have ever rode is the little bill giggle coaster. j/k it's top thrill oh when did kingda ka get the fourth train?

^didn't they rotate out the third train? like, one year it would be train1 and train2, then the next year train1 and train3, then the next year train2 and train3. and with what all you talked about in that post reminded me of my could the Son of Beast accident been avoided topic

i thought the same thing when i read that terpy, but it would be kinda neat if they added a bunny hop or a quick downward spiral coming off the back of the rosebowl.

i for one don't like the blue ice cream, but i love the vanilla.

wow, that was an amazing video, and i thought it was really cool to see everything being constructed and seeing so much undeveloped land around the first attractions.

i'm with everyone else, if he is willing to ride it, let him, but let him and only him choose to do so or not.

i just turned 16 in december so it's 11-19 for me. and terpy i noticed that you have been posting alot in this forum, but never said your age group.

when did they move the splashdown to before the second launch?

That could be part of it but the chemicals within the water to keep it clean is what eat away at backlot's track and hence the removal. I promise it had nothing to do with the pumps not working in such. So what I'm saying with Diamondback is that chemicals must be watched carefully in order to insure the track being kept in top shape. It's definitely possible to keep it in great shape and I'm sure B&M engineers much better track than premier but still care will need to be taken. the water from backlot's splashdown never touched the track rather than a few drops here and there.

i know it's not in the splashdown, but you can see the tail

the first time i rode maverick in '07 when i was in line it was spitting rain and they closed it and then the next year i rode it in a steady rain , it really didn't make much sense to me.

Yeah your right though they made it seem like the big part of the ride. "85 Feet Tall" well the lift hill and first drop are usually the biggest part of a roller coaster. (or at least ones that have lift hills)

^but on the log flume doesn't the splash down at the end slow the log or boat down?

i remember one time we went to the park and got in an hour early and i wanted to go strait to that, so my mom and dad put me and my sister on it and we rode it once and i went to get off because i hated it and the ride ops insisted on me and my sister riding it again since there was no line, but after two times in a row i didn't want to ride it ever again.

wow, there are so many to choose from (the only parks i have been to are sfkk, Cedar Point, ki, and wdw). i would like to go to islands of adventure for dueling dragons and hulk, then there is holiday world with raven and the voyage, knott's for xcelorator, and sfga for kingda ka, and both bush gardens for their diving coasters. long list but i want to visit them all equally

and for some really weird reason that sound and smell calms me, as did once when some grease got on a pile of wood on our farm and it smelled like the lift hill on The Beast close to the start of the season.

when they had smash factory, what played on the other side? because i remember riding it when i was little and my glasses were shook off my head and i spent the rest of the show trying to figure out why all the characters had two heads.

is there anyway to download the video so it will play on an ipod?

on the auction bid board, is "a k" a k steel?

me too, i don't get to go up until the 25th

they are stickers, and just haven't been added yet.

i noticed in the close up pictures of the trains from sat. in the first row of seats one of the restraints were up.

there is a new blog update: http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest/blog/

^terpy, were you at the kic event? because i really want to put a voice and face to the post you make.

i can't stand odd numbers, i have no idea why but i can't.
