Congrats on the weight loss.. Let me know when you are at the park so you can show me your better eating habits, that I proabbly need to pick up within the next few years.

I am 28. Most days I feel 18, but some days a lot older than 28!

I am not to big on the word "goal" for that seems like something I have to do for work, but I plan on getting to KI as much as possible this summer. I would like to get to Holiday World, but never seem to make it each year. That new water ride looks like fun!

What a bummer, I hope things work out for the best for you!

It sounds like you are worried track practice is going to interfere with your KI time?

As annoyed as I am about the installation of 3-point shootout where the Flying Eagles were, you have to admit, that game is a massive money maker for the park. $10 a pop and a small percentage of people who play it actually win anything, let alone one of the 'top' prizes (a jersey that you could probably buy off-site for $10). I still find it amazing how many people waste their money on that game, because you have to be pretty good to be able to win. I agree there is always a crowd there and probably makes a lot of money. I know I always stop for a few minutes at that game when walking by to see how the person is doing, and I never play those games. I am there for the rides not games. I can do that at home which is 120 miles away. It just bugs me when you are standing in the queue line like "The Beast" for instance, where there is a wood floor and someone is bouncing a basketball in there. Maybe I am getting to old and set in my ways?

I had another DB dream. It was to be April 18th, and DB was not located in Rivertown at all, and it didn't look like KI either? I was in the queue for awhile and finally got on. When we took off the ride was great on the first hill, then after that it got all weird. The ride sort of turned into Avatar. We would go back and fourth on that style of track like 2 times and then then go to another set of track that had different sized hills. There were like four of these Avatar tracks that we went on before returning to the station. They were fun, but not thrilling. Everyone got off the ride and said it was not what they expected?

For now though, it will praobbly get a new game that you win a blown up basetball that everyone wants to bounce while wating in the queue lines!

Don't let us stop you...

Webcam shot of Vortex paint job, looks nice!

Another article about Bizarro from Coasternews.net Clcik Here!

Looks like they still have a lot of rocks to place if you notice the pile up by the storage platform. http://www.kiDiamondback.com/public/latest...ge&chip=556

Found a site that has some queue line art for Manta. Click here!

True, that queue is very nice. These look like the same ones from The Crypt?

Looks like shade tarps are being installed in DB queue. (Upper right corner)

Was it really 2002? Dosen't seem that long ago!

I remember in October during haunt they were painting the train storage area roof as you started up the stairs, but did not think they would repaint the whole track this year for it just got painted like 2 to 3 years back did it not? Edit: I might be thinking of the supports not the track?

Was a nice thought though. I guess we will take the free (for those of us with passes) Ride Warrior's weekend!!

Terpy, shouldn't that be www.KICentral.com, where else?

I loved the DB splashdown pics. I hope some grass grows back in soon, that will make DB look really nice!

No threats Terpy! Although, have you ever been gone? Back on topic though, I think they would have only replaced restrains that need replacing. So I would say there might be a few more new ones, but not all of them.

Here is a POV for CC I found that was posted by CoasterNews on Twitter. http://www.heraldonline.com/includes/vmix/...GENRES=00001643

Yes, it has gone fast. I just hope the summer does not go so fast that I don't make it to the park as much as I want. See ya in a few weeks!

I don't see how that promise can be kept. No matter how well maintained something is, it is bound to break down from time to time.

I was watching the parade with my mother when this happened. I got up and was flipping out because of how funny I thought it was. Then I had to explain to my mother what a "Rick Roll" was. What happened to the red hair? I thought it was a gag not the real Alfred.
