AZ Kinda Guy

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Tiny you've won a free ride on DOT. Stop by sometime when I'm there to claim your prize.

I know it's not really a ride so to speak but it's still a attraction none the less. My vote goes for WaterMaze in Nick Central...That area would be a nice fit for a Super Saturator. Whoops, I think I've said too much.

Eurobun...Wait, it's gone for good.

Yeah. I try not to use peoples real names on here. Ecspecially employees and more importantly my girls name. Stalkers are bad.

So I worked an open on Saturday and me and my girl decided to ride some rides and just hang out after our shift. So by the time I get out of the office it's roughly 4:30. Surprise surprise theres gondola girl and her hot prom date. First we decide to ride Scooby. I totally kicked my girls butt Then we walked over by TR and we realized hot prom date boy hasn't experienced TR yet so we ride TR and he loved it. Next up was Beast and it was the same ole Beast. One of these days I'm actually going to have to stop and watch the video. I've seen bits and pieces but never the whole thing. After Beast we decide to try Scooters. We get on and I get paired with a 350 pound lady aka gondola girl and find myself unable to snap. I guess a hippopotamus and a 350 pound lady aren't going to be able to snap anyways. Oh well, there's always next time. Trokia looks like fun and we take a ride. I love that ride. Good times. Off of Troika and down Coney we go. We notice some nasty clouds and before you know it, the sky opens up and we dash to the Festhaus. We aren't too wet and we wait it out for a bit. We hang out in Festhaus and finally get bored and hungry so we run to our cars and make a food trip to Bw3's. Back to the park but just me and my girl this time. The rain sis omewhat steady but the rides are open. First we hit up Tower and notice the nice new shiny elevators. And who says we didn't get a new ride that goes high this year? ON top of tower I spot Lake Cleanup but don't see the flag. I'll use the pay thing at the top next time to get a closer look. After we get off Tower we hit up the zone and ride Face/Off up "front" and then do Duhlee. I love Duhlee. It's a great ride. Probably my favorite overall in the entire park. By now me and my hot lady are soaked so we decide on FoF to make an attempt to dry ourselves off. Another great ride on FoF. I noticed the mid-course brakes are actually being used this season. What's with that? Oh well, it really didn't affect the ride much and it hauled arse thru the final inversion. Gondola girl mentioned earlier about metting back up after she dropped her hot prom date off so I called her once I got out of FoF and tell her to meet me and my lady at scooters. I did alot better without that extra 350 pounds in there. Once me and Flyer get off Scooters, Gondola girl meets back up with us but she's brought company. Barnyard and Jenna are now with us so that makes five. I notice there is hella fog over by Beast and I haven't done a night ride in a long while on it so we decide to ride it before we go. By now, the constant rain has drove away most park guests making everything a walk on since we got back from Bw3's so we hop in Beast and off we go. The fog is thick as hell and The Beast is hauling. We decide to stay in the train and ride one more time. The ride is over and we are in the brakes outside the station. We don't go in. Great, it's experiencing technical delays. Oh well, the five of us have fun with it and before you know it, we are back in the station. I must say, I forgot how kick butt The Beast is at night and it definately reminded me. It kicked my butt last night and I'm still sore today. Oh well, it was good times. Me, my hot girlfriend, and gondola girl ended the night watching the fireworks from TR's entrance. All in all, a great time with great friends and most importantly, my great girl. We'll have to do it again sometime.

Well Drew your right about the yellow tape, or paint in Face/Off's case. However, your wrong about the bars. Every coaster will let you dispatch with the bars up or unlocked. The only rides I can think of that will not let you dispatch with the bars up are Tomb Raider and Delirium. Both of which come from the Huss Giant ride lineup.

Want crazy stories? Do a search or go hang out with your returners one night after work. Particularly when they are intoxicated.

Reguarding the Delirium consecutive ride record...Having working there all season last year, there wasn't really a set record. However, a certain crew member rode three times in a row one day and she loved every minute of it!

My first coaster riding memory at PKI goes to The Vortex. I was kinda hesitant to ride it but my Dad convinced me. Once I had, my Dad created a monster.

You want myths? Fine...Express lost it's themeing and TR:TR effects aren't working properly. Oh and of course........HB in 05

The old Smurf ride was taken at a reasonably slow pace so you could take in the scenery. Kinda hard to take in the scenery when your whizzing by Papa Smurf at 40 MPH eh?

You don't know what is going on back behind Racer? How about uhmmm... NOTHING.

Number of posts.

Because they don't feel like it? Seriously, it's not hurting anything. Besides, seriously who cares?

LOL...Completely random and hillairious.

Sure the GR comments are great but a crew doesn't need good GRs to know they rock. As long as the supervisor shows their appreciation and gives good positive feedback, the crew will get in the mindset that they already rock. Long before that good GR came along.

Personally, I love music in the ride lines. As long as it fits in with the theme of the ride though...Here's a list I've compiled that shows what kind of music could accompany the major coasters. Add ideas or comments if you got them... Face/Off- Techno SOB- Rock Top Gun- Soundtrack, duh Adventure Express- The soundtrack that plays now is very nice. Racer- This ride screams classic rock for some reason. FoF- Sci Fi type music Vortex- Techno Beast- Classic Country maybe?

Honestly? The 98 HB expansion. It put our kids area on the map.

Nah, never happened.

Of course my fine lady is the best looking. Although if she wasn't on there you'd be darn sure I'd vote for myself. I'm hot darn it!

Not to get off topic but, all Invertigos are equipped with locking operator booths.

Sheesh people it's not that big of a deal....NO it did NOT valley....Closing

I don't know who closed this but StXBomber is right. Face/Off did recieve new black restraints. Compared to the yellow restraints they once had.

I would if it actually was the best wood coaster I've rode.

And if I'm not mistaken, will NOT be returning.
