I never saw it on TT....but Wild Eagle had it....

having witnessed the selling of 'on-ride' video at the photo booths at Dollywood on Wild Eagle.... I can say that I didn't notice any longer wait....to view photos/video...etc. The monitors were basically just looping the videos just like they do the photos...when people entered the gift shop.

I'd say 40 of my 60 rides have been 'single rider' and I constantly get the far right seat. I actually have a harder time getting the left side.

That's my favorite seat as well. Although the left side...Row 8 is creeping up! I think the drop is killer on the left side...but favor the right the rest of the ride...

Thanks for sharing devarious. I guess I never really thought of it in this context. I'd never lost an article in hundreds of rides....but...2 nights ago...I did (even after 60 Banshee rides) to update that...I checked the lost and found this morning (nothing) - they told me its possible that it could be in the station and was found this morning. So, I went to the Banshee station this morning...and low and behold...they had my cellphone (covered in mud) and my season pass stuck inside the cellphone case (covered in mud) But, I recovered it...and it actually WORKED. It's a miracle after the rain we got that night.... But, it'll teach me to make sure I wear my cargo shorts...and not my gym shorts.

Yeah, I totally understand the 'policy' - I have one of those awesome cases for my iphone... I've thrown my phone (fastball) and still not done an ounce of damage to it.... So, I have hopes it could survive a fall from Banshee....I'm pretty sure it fell out somewhere on the back end of the ride (which is good) it's open back there. If it fell out over the mid-way...then I'm sure some kid got a great condition iphone I just don't think they'll find it tonight in the dark (its a black case) and the rain tonight...will put an end to it anyways... oh well, still got my free upgrade... was just curious...thanks for the reply Hydra

anyone have any experience w/ getting back your loose items that fall out (example: cell phone) ? how often/quickly do they check for the 'items that were claimed as lost' (I filled out the form at about 9:50pm) Curious if they scan the ride/fields after the ride...looking for the items....or do they wait until morning? what exactly is the procedure? If they wait until morning...the storm/eve will pancake my phone. I guess after 60+ rides on her...she was bound to eat my cellphone eventually. That's what I get for wearing loose gym shorts....

anyone have an idea of how things work 'after the race' - Are all runners admitted to the park come 9:30 for ERT (I have a Gold-Pass, so it's irrelevant) or do they have additional privileges?

I enjoy 8-4 and 8-1 the best... Enjoy the front also...but on the outside... whats the big deal about 1-2 and 1-3? Don't believe Ive rode in those spots...just 1-1 and 1-4

what do they recommend....all white? shorts and tee? or at the very least...just a white tee-shirt? I'm not a fan of 'White Shorts' - Then...the whole world gets to see my Scooby Doo Underwear....

ERT was solid this morning...didnt get in until 945 and still got 2 rides in before the mass of GP

I just noticed that one of those listings has six shirts available. Six. It's absolutely ridiculous that one person could get six shirts, just to try to make a buck. I think it's even more ridiculous that people are wanting to sell these items for 50-100$ a pop... Also, I heard multiple reports of the Banshee being an hour/hour and 15 minute wait...if you jumped in line near closing... True? that's not bad if so.. Many of times I'll enter The Beast's line near closing and will surpass that wait-time.

can't always wait 4 hours in line

I'm actually quite jacked up...to marathon the Diamondback this summer. The lines should be alot shorter than we are used to!

Thunderhead has a very LOOSE lapbar...you get flung all over the place.... but, the airtime on that ride is ridiculous!!! And...Tornado is supposed to look like an old bronze/brown...Leaf from a tree...in the back of the park?
