KIC: What Happened?
"Irony- The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: The irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend."

Favorite sound on Diamondback?
I obviously haven't experienced this "roar" yet, either, considering the last time I went to the park was Ride Warrior Weekend. It could just be wear and tear on the wheels, or, as you mentioned markr, new wheels.

Favorite pics You've taken at KI
I like that very much, rotag. It's definentaly one of the more unique pictures of Eiffel Tower that I've seen lately!

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
I believe that the area that Son of Beast occupies is relatively flat, which could make for a very nice sized addition to Action Zone. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&...9&encType=1

Graying out on coasters with high Gs
I often gray out on Invertigo and Voyage's double (or is it triple?) down tunnel.

Before I post, I forewarn you that I really like B&W pictures!

Favorite sound on Diamondback?
For me, it's the sound of not hearing much of anything. The silent lift is very relaxing to me, and the quiet-ness of the rest of the coaster (compared to other B&M's, that is) really gives it the impression of rushing through the woods, especially at night.

2012
Yeah, an X-Base expansion would be nice. Maybe a smaller coaster, like a regular steel looping coaster that has a future theme to it. Maybe like a 150 foot tall, 7 inversion floorless coaster...I really don't know! I'm just hoping for something, since it's the 40th anniversary. I would hope an expansion in X-Base would include some nice flats and restrooms. Then maybe get a neat coaster for the 40th anniversary.

Diamondback Strikes
Pretty good video. I enjoyed watching it.

Little Things You Notice
While in Adventure Express's queue, the soundtrack that is playing says "...for the transmountain run to Outpost 5...". Outpost 5 is also what is painted on the side of Son of Beast's station.

4th of July Festivities
I'll be driving down to Kings Dominion for the 4th of July. I can't wait to see what they do for the 4th in Richmond.

RWCW Photo Contest Winner to Be Announced Today
Interesting. I'm registered both here and at "the other site." Comparing the two topics on the same subject, the negativity here is pretty disappointing. Can we not just put a smile on a congratulate him? His picture is good, and it is obvious that some were better, but instead of being negative about it, why not post positive comments? Be supportive, not negative! This is a good picture Ty. Very different, fresh perspective! Congratulations!

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Wait, how did we get from talking about Diamondback's hammerhead too snow in my hometown? I'm confused.

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Haha, I did! I hope that the do make the splashdown as nice as they made it on the animation. I really like it with the rocks and such surrounding the water.

Diamondback Construction Thread (Updated 3-19-09)
Wow. I just think it's pretty amazing how small Vortex looks when compared next to Diamondback. The ride is really starting to look good.

the PROWLER
That's like asking what in the world makes it a bad ride to you? Some people like the roughness of wooden coasters, especially Son of Beast. I like the roughness aspect of Son of Beast and other wooden coasters. I guess everyone has their own opinions.

Track
Lavender you say? Hmm, I really don't know where that would be going. If it looked more blue-ish, then yes, it probably was Manta track getting ready to head down to Florida.

Track
Do you know what kind of track it is? B&M, Intamin, etc.
