KI FANATIC 37

Don put on Twitter that it is set to reach 10 million sometime this month.

It seems as though that would defeat the purpose of getting people to go to the park!

^Probably because they don't get a large profit off of it!

Took me a second to catch what you did there!

Probably some stuff from Diamondback's gift shop and a poster that says 10 millionth rider.

Don do you have a ride count for Banshee?

Yesterday was not empty. It wasn't crowded, but it sure wasn't empty. In the afternoon Diamondback had a full queue and The Bats line was as long as opening day.

Congrats! Can't believe its already given one million rides!

I want to make sure I'm not making myself sound pampered because I'm a diabetic. Not only should that not happen to me, but it shouldn't happen to anyone. I could have easily told the ride op and pushed it down myself. They were just very insistent. I do think this is a very important conversation to be had, and I hope a park official sees this and has a discussion with park employees.

I think the right approach is a happy medium, much like everything else in life. This 30 second garbage should be gone, but the ride ops should work hard to have a good hourly capacity but with the comfort of guests in mind.

Banshee was doing somewhat of a Power Hour today. All afternoon all I heard was " This train will be leaving in 30 seconds. Do not walk across the seats. If you do we will lock your restraint and you will not be able to ride." I'm all for efficiency but when I have my sensor (for reading my blood sugar) in my leg I would like to push down my own restraint to make sure it isn't right on top of it.

Banshee is now about a 15 minute wait.

Yeah it's weird today. All rides except Banshee are about 20 minutes or less. Banshee is about 40 minutes.

I'm going tomorrow. I may have to slip Don a Franklin to allow for some leeway.... I'm just kidding of course.

Good lord that is terrible! Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I just think Diamondbacks capacity is down this year. The line moves a lot slower which makes it look like more people like it.

Makes me jealous!

What sort of guest behaviors are we talking about? PDA?

I don't see them moving any rides. It's far to expensive for a little change at the park.

From the webcams it look like Banshee's queue is about half full. I'd say its about a 35 min wait.

I was there as well! Sorry we missed each other! Great report, and glad you had a good day.

It's not uncommon at all for the park to be crowded and Banshee to be a 10-20 minute wait. The crews do a great job getting the trains dispatched!

What also upsets me is when a kid is to young/small to ride and their parents make them wait in line with them and then sit in the corner in the station while they ride it! Have they heard of parenting?? I feel like going up to these kids and giving them hugs!

I don't like "thug looking" teenagers walking around like they own the place.
