Mr. Coastermania

Glad you had a better return trip.

If anyone sees people cutting in line need to speak up.That's all there is to it.I would think that if more than one person would speak up then maybe the linecutters would get tossed.I know it upsets me to but im not going to let them ruin my day.They do reap what they sow.I had a linecutter get by me one time on the ttd.by fate,i got his seat on my turn and all i can say is thank you for that money you left in your seat.Call it a line jumpers fee.

Give them both a try.You will be glad you did.

At knotts berry farm riding the excellerator the ride op tells everyone"This ride is not as bad as your friends say it is.IT'S WORSE.Remember this aint your daddy's roller coaster"Launch in 5-4 ----opps-3-2-1.

If you dont like it,dont ride it.Yeah it beats you up at times but thats what makes it great.It's big and bad and that's the way thrill seekers like it.

The size of sonny scared me and the hidden beast had me freaked out until one day i said i will try one. The Beast i fell in love with.SOB,i forced myself to try it and im glad i did. Just work your way up and enjoy the rides.

How many members do you think will be there from all the clubs?Will it be way busy?

Standing in line for Diamondback i here 3 kids fight over the name of the ride. No the name is THE BIG RED MACHINE.no it aint it's Diamondback.no way thats in arizona. OH MY GOD someone shoot me please.lol

How bad do you want to ride Diamondback? If you got the mind set and the drive you will make it.I lost 55lbs for more than just my health. I fear the walk of shame and the thought of having to have someone else take care of me because i did not care for myself. Go for it and when your ready to ride d-back i would like to shake your hand and ride with you on d-back. If you need help or support feel free to ask.

Two thoughts: 1. Yuck 2. I agree. There are several people I know that can't have sugar or caffine. What else can they do? Water is about it. Is that your situation too, or do you just like those, and if so, back to #1. It's the 1 thing.Im sure they have other kinds of diet drinks people would like other than those i picked.

Go for it. My goal is to is to ride Diamondback backwards just once.please Hmm would be nice but for real now i just want to get in 50 rides each on Diamondback,beast,Firehawk,fof and sob.

Hit other rides first and give it couple hours before you try Diamondback.The lines should be better by then.Get a gold season pass and get them ert is such great deal. SOB is the same.The Beast seems better to me and yes do get a night ride it is a great. FOF?Did i hear music the last time i rode it or is it just me?

It would be nice if they would add diet sprite or caffine free diet Coke to the menu.

What seats are the best?I hope to get in the front seat one of these days but so far i get row 7 or 8 everytime.I would think the back row would provide more speed but the front row seats would give better air time.

They will use it for bid rides.They will try to raise money for a good cause and allow those people axcess though that line.500 bucks for a front seat ride anybody?

I went friday and lines for Diamondback was not bad at all.I rode it twice in less than 20 mins. Not bad for what i was expecting.When there was a line,it kept moving.Single rider line is ok but at times waiting in the other line would be better.Saturday a 45 min wait in main line and it seemed that the srl moved real slow but it could just be me.

My first buy was powerade zero.That really helped.

I did fit all the rides no problem but on friday after only riding 3 rides i was sick and lightheaded for a while.The park nurse said that heck after losing 50 lbs i might have to slow it down a bit until i adjust. She also asked what i was riding. Racer,Vortex and stunt coaster back to back to back.Plus i guess i should have walked but i felt like a kid again.Again she told me to sit back a while and rest then try Diamondback. Saturday and sunday i was just fine.It might have been i did not eat enough before i went in the park.

ride op,noted.sorry about that.i type to fast plus was a long drive home.

I'm thinking about trying Drop Zone again as well...stationary heights have always been my achilles' heel, but since so many rides nowadays simply don't scare or thrill me at all, DT could be worth a shot. Last year I took a big step feeling like I fully conquered ferris wheels (which used to terrify me), so I think I'm getting closer to Drop Tower. I need to try Holiday World's double-shot again and see what the fright/fun factor is to know where I for sure stand. That one is on my list. I look at it this way. lots of people ride the drop zone or other rides like it and feel about the same as we do about fear but come out ok.Unless you in poor health or dont have panic attacks,you will be ok. Just last year the only two rides that i said i would never ride no way jose was SOB and drop zone.Now i love them.When you try dz enjoy.

glad you all had a blast.

I had been saying for over 2 yrs now there was no way i would touch dropzone but i guess after riding Diamondback and SOB why not.I only wish i rode it sooner. Taking off 50 lbs helped as i fit on all the rides fine. Great crowd for saturday but not over crowded.Sunday was about the same. two line jumpers were blocked from jumping in line.Great job riders.Fight for your right to fair ride times. Vortex looked great with the new coat on it. Beast was running great and faster. Next trip is to knotts berry farm may 19th.

I thought dropzone was 300 plus feet.Am i wrong or is the web site for Kings Island wrong? And from way back in Left Field... Touchdown, who has no idea where this came from. Sorry me bad.I saw jaspers dropzone logo and i thought i drop was higher. Thank you for the info.At 264 feet it is still great.Im glad i rode. Your right,them phones are great.Glad you got it back and in one piece.

The go carts is pretty nice.

TRIp report 4/24-4/26. Diamondback Was great with friday not having much wait time.sat and sunday was more of a wait. Got to ride Firehawk before it went down. DROP ZONE-------I once feared but now i love it.
