Captain Nemo Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Didn't name the first hill in the Diamondback Sierra "Mt. Helbig" for nothin'! I don't see a Mt. Tony or Mt. Tyler anywhere in sight!
Thrill_Biscuit Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Removed bad joke... With Clifford missing from the skyline, DB looked much taller to me this morning.
RailRider Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Thats hillarious. You could do some major damage with one of those bolts
74Gibson Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 That picture cracked me up! Anyone know what the white crane is doing by the Crypt? It keeps turning back and forth but not really doing anything.
CoastersRZ Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Well, there are track and supports that will be placed right by the cave entrance to the Crypt. It could be moving some of these pieces off of flatbed trucks and/or installing some of them.
74Gibson Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 ^ That would make sense but I've seen no trucks, supports tracks etc... Just a crane going back and forth repeatedly. I wondered if they were checking its turn radius since its in such a tight spot. I'm just excited that they might be starting work on the final helix!!!!!
CoastersRZ Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Just because you haven`t seen any from the webcam does not mean that there haven`t been any trucks or pieces being moved around by the crane.
74Gibson Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Your right. I just saw one. And I wasn't saying that they weren't there, just that I hadn't seen them and the crane was repeatedly going back and forth without lowering it's hook (insert proper name).
RailRider Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 A few interesting observations from today. Currently there is a cement truck parked close to Wings Dinner and the station entrance, also looks like the 3rd hill has grown a little larger today and I have noticed quite a few workers working in and around the splash down pond.
Kawana Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I figure this applies, even if it is the CP blog... kinda funny http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm Look at Don rocking that DB shirt. In that last photo, it looks like Don is a guy you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Not even in a flood-lit alley! Dude looks baaaaaad! Move over, Chuck Norris!
markalan Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Nice captions Nemo, but Brandon's park is getting more than just sugar. They're getting a Prowler!
Beast1979 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Which is sweet, like sugar! Man, that was a hilarious blog post. Go Don! Defend what's right!
markalan Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Sweet as suger, and smooth as butter (it's a GCI)
Beast1979 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 .....As far as woods go. They still do have that slight rickety feel all woodies have, just not as much as others.
RailRider Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Don Helbig. Don Helbig counted to infinity - twice. If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Don Helbig. Don Helbig knows where Carmen Sandiego is. TB I think your right Helbig is better than Chuck Norris, move over Chuck...

Exactly! ....Can tie a knot in a cherry stem, with his toes. ....Can go to the moon and back, with no rocket. ....Can program a computer, without touching it. ....Can Ride the DJIA Coaster, with his hands up and eyes open. ....Can Jump off of Diamondback's hill, and not get a scratch. That's all I can think of right now.
teenageninja Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ^^ This is a family forum, inappropriate Just kidding, I like it.
flightoffear1996 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Hey Clifford got it up again That just might be the post of the year award!

Clifford is back up? Cool. More tree-toppage is imminent. Another peak will soon join the Diamondback Sierra.
tubaman Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Don Helbig is the reason why Waldo is hiding. Don Helbig can believe it's not butter. Don Helbig can divide by zero.
JAHill Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Don Helbig has already been to Mars, that's why there are no signs of life there.
clbehymer Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Ok... I'll add to the sillyness. Don Helbig doesn't sleep... he waits. Don Helbig's tears are the cure for cancer... to bad he doesn't cry. When Don Helbig drinks, he doesn't throw up... he throws down.
RailRider Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 You know they really are just as funny with Mr. Helbig's name in place of Chuck Norris. Although Chuck may not think so.
