  1. You would think there would be some sort of announcement over the radio that the train is switching tracks so the drivers should be aware. Notice in the video I posted at about 1:30 that they could have been more aware and paying more attention to the radio and heard the problem.
  2. I never knew that DeLorean Rider! That is funny It was really a group error, everyone could have been taking the necessary precautions but were not. I know it was 2 AM but it is all about the safety.
  3. Fantasmic! is my all time favorite show! The music gives me chills and it is just a great family friendly show! We get to the arena 1 hour before the show starts and get good seats and every time the crowd starts to do the wave and it is a blast! Check out my video.
  4. ^They actually have a very smart system called MAPO and automatically stops the monorail if a train is too close. It is almost like block breaks on a roller coaster. In order to switch tracks the driver must override the MAPO and take the monorail into reverse over the switch track onto the new track. Well everything went bad that could have. Here is a great video explaining what happened and how this easily could have been avoided.
  5. Standing in line waiting for The Beast to re-open after the 4th of July fireworks a women points to the Crypt building and says "Look there is the Flight of Fear!" Not too bad of a mistake but I chuckled.
  6. The deal ended May 31st. Early bird gets the worm.
  7. I'm working the concert Saturday!
  8. Being a ride associate is a very important job that requires a lot of responsibility. It is their job to make sure everything is running smooth and most of all safe. Some associates might find it a tad bit distracting when one person keeps coming back to the same ride and joking around and having fun with them. There are just some times where you must know when to stop so the associates can get back to doing their JOB. Yes part of their job is to guest relate, but not pay attention to just one guest and have fun with them. You have to realize they have a great amount of responsibility to run a brand new coaster that gets thousands of visitors a day. There are times when you can have fun with the associates and hang out and others when they feel that they should be working their hardest. As I said above, being a ride associate requires responsibility and safety, there are sometimes when an employee must be focused.
  9. My avatar looks more entertaining than what the Crypt is now.
  10. Very detailed and sounds like you had an amazing day. Hopefully I can see those crowds when I am up there July 23!
  11. Take it easy, the associate was probably just messing with you.
  12. There are pages and pages of different theories on one of my Disney World forums I belong too. I don't know what to think but I saw a video of the aftermath a guy too in the station right after it happened and it was very scary. They were yelling for the driver, who we now know was killed on impact, which is a very sad thing to think. Our deepest condolences to the loss aboard the Highway in the Sky- The Walt Disney World Monorail.

    No way you beat my record!!!!!! I got 36 rides in one night on Flight Deck. I might just have to try and beat you tonight.
  15. ^Well I'm not going to say it is not crowded but it isn't the crowds that were expected.
  16. Maybe because it's not too crowded, we were expecting huge crowds but I think the rain scared everyone away.
  17. The Kings Island Crypt picture is the same as the Kings Dominion Crypt picture. There are some repeats like that but the facts are awesome when you flip over the cards. Good site. EDIT: Just saw this one. There are pictures of Son of Beast on the details side of The Beast. That kinda annoys me.
  18. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is such an amazing park. I had the best time there and would love to go back. Great pictures! Glad you had fun.
  19. Nope, Flight Deck is!
  20. Just got 50 tonight! I like how the top 4 rides/coasters I've been on this year have counts that are in multiples of 10. Flight Deck=60 Diamondback=50 Drop Tower=20 Beast=10
  21. If it is breaking itself why keep it around?
  22. ^I'm still having trouble deciding what my favorite coaster is in the park. I love Flight Deck so much. I've been on it more than Diamondback this season and just love the forces and speed. I love it's location way back away from everything too.
  23. "Are you guys excited to ride Flight Deck!? We will take you through not one, not two, but zero loops!" That's still my favorite. I heard it during my 36 rides on Flight Deck last night! They have a great crew.
  24. ^Maybe it was an accident. Sheesh. Don't you get a receipt when you pay for the emailed picture?
