I don't think sarcasm should be allowed in the world.

I figure the longer I'm on the 75, the longer I can drive 75-80 MPH. Once off the highway it's a lot of 55 MPH and more chances to be stuck behind slow drivers on the smaller roads. So going North to route 6 seems faster to me.

I used to be kind of the same way as your friend. It's like I'd be going north on 75 for so long that when I'd see that Findlay exit I'd be like, "Yes! Let's finally head west!" Little did I know that though it was nice to head in a different direction and get off the highway; I was making the trip last longer. My first few trips up to the Point I used to take route 4 all the way from Dayton. Ugh, what a horribly long and boring trip.

I'm hoping to make 20 or more. I can see myself showing up early on some days just for some DB ERT and leaving when the line gets too long. Last year I didn't have a pass so I just went twice, but this year I'm going all out.

Longer than it was on July 8th, 2008 at 3:39pm Blast! Foiled by time travel again!!

How long do you guys think the DB wait will be on July 8th, 2010 at 3:39 PM?

I plan on being a public dummy riding DB on April 18th.

Looks like 2 of the trains have been put away after a long hard day of testing.

So is the "Diamondback is rusting" tag line going to stick like "Magnum is sinking"?

Yeah, it's a nice day, they're running pretty much non-stop, and the cam isn't constantly freezing up.

^ Sweet catch. The splash is huge.

Check out this one. Got 2 trains on the track:

If they start showing up with goggles on, then we'll know they're staying. Or would that be gaggles?

That looks pretty permanent to me. The metal ones up closer look temporary.

Is that the word on the International Street?

What kind of direct feed do you have to the cam, raptor?

Oooo, I hope they don't put fish in the splash down. That could get ugly.

How about "poison purple".

Yeah, I'm assuming there are a lot of people hitting it to try and get a view of the splash.

Meh, I don't care if there's music, as long as it flips a lot like it did the last time I rode it. I'd probably actually prefer it to be outside and not themed at all. As long as it gives a good ride, I don't care what I'm listening to.

Okay, that's cool. Thanks for the response.

I'd like to go to Kennywood. I really need to go on a Pennsylvania coaster tour.

That's what I did as well, Tchu. I'm taking my receipt with me as well, just in case anything went screwy.

SOB is the scariest for me too. I don't know what new form of pain I'm going to discover after riding it.

I'd still like to ride some classics like Jack Rabbit, Thunderbolt, Racer (Kennywood), Giant Dipper, Blue Streak (Conneaut Lake) and Leap the Dips.
