But was the puddle still on the floor?

iChase, your design makes a very nice desktop background.

The long brake shed ruins the ride for me. If the slowing was spread throughout the whole thing, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but the sudden slowdown at the end just seems kind of strange.

If I'm there by myself, then I pretty much need to have my phone with me, otherwise, I would never bring it on a ride with me.

Yesterday was great- 2 Diamondback rides, 4 FoF rides, 4 Beast Rides, basically, I got on every adult coaster except Firehawk- I even gave SoB another chance. The Beast was deserted basically the whole night- it was great!

Even pointing out the walkway and queue area that used to go to the front row didn't help with that argument...

Opening day gems: "Hey, honey, it's Diamondback! *points to Invertigo*" "I waited TWELVE HOURS for Diamond Head!" (I wouldn't wait twelve hours for a waterslide at Worlds of Fun!) "But... but... The Beast was closed all day!" --This kid at my school who thinks he knows EVERYTHING about KI. He seemed shocked when I told him that I rode it right after riding Diamondback. "Someone died on Son of Beast on Saturday." "The Crypt didn't lose a row!"

Exactly, since I saw the gate was closed, I assumed they were going to be opening it later in the day.

I was there during the huge rush in the morning, and I just assumed it was closed. Oh well.

I saw popwar and toastnjelly walking by Adventure Express, a few people in shirts with other assorted KIC iron-ons, and I talked to a few other KICers in the morning before opening, none of whom I can remember their usernames.

I still don't understand how it works, since it didn't seem to be open when I rode. I guess I'll figure it out next week.

The water effects are back- there was a puddle on the ground when I rode.

Three hours from when I got in line. Got a shirt, though.

Seriously! $10 is highway robbery. No wonder it's deserted. It was open?

Got my pass processed today.

How early are you all getting there? I was thinking about 8.

Hey, Meijer is really nice compared to a store that Paris Hilton thinks sells walls.

My dad heard a radio commercial for Diamondback, and immediately called me to let me know about the t-shirts. I haven't heard radio ads for amusement parks before (of course, I've lived in the state that has great faces AND great places for 2.5 years), I guess it could get word out to a different audience. (i.e., people who don't spend multiple hours a day on KIC)

I really like the banners. They did a nice job blending them in, and making them look non-cheesy. An example of cheesy would be this (click).

Action Theater.

I've been on one of those. It's quite fun.

I'd love Son of Beast if it were being used as kindling.

Why not? Sure, Disney typically offers very few discounts, but if you can save money, why not do it? As the old saw goes, a penny saved is a penny earned. However, if you buy tickets at some of these places, you run a risk of buying fake tickets. Many vacations have been destroyed for families that way.
