KI FANATIC 37

Speaking about record breaking rides, I haven't ridden it but The Smiler looks like it would just about throw me over the edge.... And I would consider myself having a strong stomach.

Almost as bad as the "Knott" fiasco several days ago!

^^^That picture of Don made me laugh. He looks so at peace with the world while also looking like an absolute champion.

More of an exciting death. I wouldn't call that coaster peaceful!

I had never heard of that rollercoaster before. Its very neat but...bizarre in the same way. I don't quite understand why someone would want to design a rollercoaster for the sole purpose of killing them.

It was a very good PTR. I always have respect for people that are able to write those extremely long TR. If you read any of mine it is like I'm a 4th grader.

We need to get off the belief that KI's next woodie will be confused with Son of Beast. Even though SoB was a troubled ride, it was evolutionary in many ways and to many people a fantastic ride. If we had this mindset for everything, we would not progress in any aspects of life. You live and you learn. It's just in this scenario it was a rather expensive lesson.

I would not wait more than an hour and a half on a normal day. The reason I waited 3 and a half hours in Friday was because it was opening day. Some of my best memories are from waiting in line in Diamondback and even Banshee on opening day. I don't know why but I really enjoyed waiting in the temporary queue on the roads behind Banshee.

That's exactly what our group said. Their was absolutely no way that that many people got in front of us. We were very close to the front of the "mob" at 11:00.

One thing for sure is it would probably hinder capacity a small bit. I'm not saying capacity is more important than safety, because it is not.

Thanks Don! Once again great job with Banshee! It really is a remarkable ride!

It was only stuck on the hill Friday for like 3 min. It must just be a little glitch. Has their been any more problems with the brake run since Friday?

Is 8-1 or 8-4 the far right side of row 8?

There is nothing wrong with selling your first rider shirt. It is their shirt and they can do what they want with it.

I was waiting for that post.

For the first time ever I tried my first blue ice cream yesterday. The least I can say is it's very good!

Anyone on here planning on going to the park today?

Drop Tower did not run today.

I think they shouldn't allow Fast Pass for new rides on opening day, that would be a simple solution to several problems. Along with taking multiple shirts, it seemed like the ride ops would always let the Fast Lane people fill up the trains first, and then go to the regular line. This really slowed it down for everyone else. I got in line at 10 PM last night and there was no more Fast Lane. The line went a lot quicker!!

I think the back is where it's at! That first drop is so forceful when in rows 7 and 8!

I'm looking at those dates too! I have to get some Banshee marathoning in!

I agree with you. We got in line right at 10 and got the last ride on the blue train in row 2. It was great with all the lights, but I enjoy the pitch black feel more. On a side note I like the back seat more on Banshee.

Banshee is moving better now. It hasn't had problems in about 35 min. Trains are not stacking as much either.

Have to say I'm getting a little bit perturbed.

Yeah. I'm right by the ride entrance and their are mechanics on the break run.
