Were you working? I asked Nicolette if anyone cool was working SOB and she said they had already left. My bad.

35, added 2 more tonight.

After coming home from seeing UP (I loved it!) I checked the webcam and saw that the line for Diamondback was very short so I dropped everything and headed for the park. I got there at around 5:30ish and see that my crew is working turnstiles today on my day off. I stop and chat with them a little bit. After chatting for a few minutes I decided they should get back to work and I should go ride Diamondback. I got there right in time to see this... I waited for it and I heard from the greeter talking to another guest that they had to replace one of the wheels in the station that help bring the train in and push it out. I decided to wait in this little line and then headed into the single rider line after they opened it back up. Of course I sat in the middle of the train like I always have to. I jumped right back into the single rider line which had gotten a lot bigger and took a couple minutes. After the two rides I headed over towards The Beast and stopped for a photo op. I walked up to The Beast which had no wait. I rode towards to middle of the train and of course was disappointed by the trims but they were no surprise to me so I enjoyed it. As I was leaving the plaza I stopped to take a pic of Diamondback cresting the last bunny hill. I stopped by for a quick ride on Backlot Stunt Coaster which also had no wait. I honestly enjoy this ride. I walked over to Vortex which also had no line and walked right onto 5-1. Gota love the forces on this coaster. Next was Firehawk which didn't have much of a line eaither. At least it is fun to watch while in line... Flight of Fear was next and I walked all the way into the station without waiting. The line for the front seat was only a two train wait so I waited. Has anyone else noticed that in the front on the right seat (might be left also, not sure) the orange thing at the bottom of the restraint smashes your foot while in the down position. Kinda bugged me the whole ride but still fun. Next was Blue Race which was also a walk on and the ride op was nice and left the gates open for me as I walked into the station and I walked all the way to the back seat because only the front was taken on the train. A little rough and we lost big time because our train was so empty. I went all the way down to my beloved Flight Deck next and enjoyed a ride in the very last row. The clouds were starting to roll in by this time but I headed up up to Drop Tower and saw my buds from my old crew! Surprise! I rode 7 times in a row without a line until about 9 when they got a call to shut down because of lightening. I stayed with them as they closed up their ride for the night. Group picture (though Jeremy didn't know I was taking it). They finished cleaning and everything at 9:30 and me and a girl from Drop Tower and a guy from Sky Flyer left to go to Waffel House! I saw my fellow admissions associates again and snapped another picture of us before I left. What a fun night! Just got home at 11:00. Here is the final count for the night. Diamondback: 2 Beast: 1 BLSC: 1 Vortex: 1 Firehawk: 1 Flight of Fear: 1 Blue Racer: 1 Flight Deck: 1 Drop Tower: 7

I probably see you all the time because I am in Admissions. We always see them pass by. 2008 Post Season- SOB/Flight Deck 2009- Admissions

A girl took a nice strategy while taking my groups picture. Right after our group picture she said "Alright, how about all of the girls together" so she took one of them and then one of all of us guys. I thought that was clever.

I got off Diamondback Sunday morning and a guy was in the station holding a cell phone that he caught. It is funny how everyone is catching peoples stuff.

I'm at 33 now! But working almost everyday isn't helping my count exceed.

Didn't someone here on the forums tell their story of how they were escorted down under a theater? That sounds pretty safe and organized to me. I heard the announcement that a storm was in the area. I heard it a couple times and before the announcement each time the intercom would play a beeping noise.

While I was working on opening day a women came up to me and asked if you actually had to ride Diamondback to get the shirt. Are people serious?

Today I learned in line for Blue Racer (Red was not running) that Adventure Express runs backwards. The kid pointed to Red Racer and said that is the one that goes backwards (Even though it was facing forwards in the station). And then his friend corrects him by saying that Adventure Express is the one that goes backwards. I wrote that one down as a note in my phone.

I tried to think of some fun spiels whenever I worked Delirium because that ride always had a portable mic. My personal favorite was, "Welcome back..... gather your lose belongings and exit towards Drop Tower. If you don't know what Drop Tower is, it is the big tower that drops you." At least I thought I was funny.

Son of Beast here. A much more intense ride.

^Was he blond?

There was a guy at The Beast tonight that I though was funny. He kept growling like The Beast and a lot of people thought it was dumb but I thought it was funny.

Hey Lance I saw you go into the park today. I work in the same department as you. Best advice that I can give you is to ask our very nice supervisors when ever you have these questions. They would love to answer your questions and get to know you better.

I worked at turnstiles today so I was lucky to be able to hear them while working. Bohemian Rhapsody was the best.

Tonight was crazy! The rain started and everyone started flooding to the parks exit. The rain was getting harder and harder. Once the tornado warning came over the radio all associates had to go to our tornado locations. Wow crazy night.

My brother and I were watching them near the front gate. My brother loves everything that has to do with planes and flight so he enjoyed them. I have some pictures but they aren't very good and still on my camera.

I can't even start to decide which park I think is the best. I have only been to three Cedar Fair parks so I am going to sit back and enjoy the voting and personally expected arguments.

Those guys are nuts! I have yet to have the chance to ride a ride like SkyScraper. Looks intense though.

Drop Tower! with Monster and Delirium dueling for second place.

That was absolutely horrible. The ride wasn't entertaining what so ever and to top it all off the cycle stopped mid ride and we were brought back down to the bottom of the where we waited for 10 minutes until we were moved back into position so we could exit. I don't know what happened but it almost felt like an E stop because when were being brought down to the bottom of the swing it was real jerky. You won't find me on the Crypt with this new program anytime soon.

Wow. Today was a mad house at the sales windows today. The line was just as long as the season pass processing line. I though it would never end! After work I was planning on heading into the park but I passed that up.

That sounds really awesome. I can't wait to see some stuff tonight.

^Woah really? Like where though? Right when you walk through the front gate or out by the tower?
