Next time someone thinks that my first rider t-shirt means that I was, quite literally, the first ever rider (as if there were shirts that said "SECOND RIDER", "THIRD RIDER", and so on), I'm going to slap them.
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.
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!
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!"
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.
