tigellinus Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 ^^Ahhh....'Terpy, you do love your Great Adventures, don't you!? I must say, even I am really missing some Bruna ride-operating myself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'll wait 5 hours for Diamondback. I was going to say that as well....LOL I waited 5 hours to ride SheiKra opening day (they were giving out free bottled water) and by the time i got off the line was down to 2.5 hours so I waited and rode it again. I ended up riding SheiKra 3 times on opening day! Diamondback IS going to be worth a 5 hour wait, I will probably get off, go to the restroom and get a free drink(arm band) and head back for it.

tigellinus Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 ^^Good thing being the capacity monster D-back will be the line will probably never be 5 hours!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare-to-fly Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ^^Good thing being the capacity monster D-back will be the line will probably never be 5 hours!! I hope you're right about that. I'm hoping for a smooth opening that isn't plagued with maintenace issues, and opening bugs of the other variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ^^Well...Behemoth's lift motor burned out only 3 weeks into operation and was down for a week, but I think we'll be ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I waited 7hrs for Firehawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I waited 7hrs for Firehawk. Dont get me wrong Firehawk is a good coaster, but 7 hours. Ive gotta ask afterwards, did you feel it was worth it? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChase Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm going to say I would stand about three hours, or maybe a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sheikra was running 5 trains, and can load and unload 2 trains at a time. I think right at the opening, the line will be quite large. Throughout the day it will not be as big, granted we have no break downs or delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm going to say I would stand about three hours, or maybe a year. I've been waiting for the Cedar Point Cyclone or the Rye Aeroplane or even The Riverview Bobs for a lot longer than that! And, someday, I bet one or more of the three IS rebuilt in a fairly faithful fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 ^Is there a thread on here with your favorite defunct rides/rides you wish you could have ridden? Cause those 3 would be on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sorry not to answer, but ya it was kinda worth it, though going deph on the lift hill was not fun, nor the fact that I was afraid that I would die from falling out.....but other than that ya, I got a teeshirt thoguh!!! but I spilt pop on it when I got home....so ya it was kinda, but not really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippewa&idora4ever Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Son of Beast opening day, wasn't the wait (hours) in the double digits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 No. Son of Beast opened on a Friday evening, after the media event, such as it was. The next morning, a Saturday, it ran less than a dozen trains before shutting down for several weeks for repairs and construction. It also had only one train, both the first two days and when it re-opened. It was four or five more weeks before it ran two trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ha. It ran less then a dozen trains till it closed. Ha. That's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Max time for me is 6 hours. The length of my PSP battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 And to think there was a time when electronic devices were not allowed in the park! And PSPs were unheard of. Much less wireless phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
