Dreadlord67 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I swear. I'm going to be first on Diamondback. I want it so badly. Lol. I would like camp out if you were allowed to get on it first. Anyways, I heard a rumor that Diamondback was going to lose the water dip. Is that true? Quote
FOFreak Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 No, it's not going to lose it's splashdown, because they've already laid track down. Why would you think something like that? Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 What? It's gonna Loose it's Splashdown? ROFL!!!!! Quote
CedarPointer Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Diamondback will also be losing its lift hill, because it will save Cedar Fair some nickels. Quote
FOFreak Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Don't forget about the supports! But on a serious note, where did you hear such a thing? Quote
FOFreak Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I heard on Screamscape that they're also going to sell the track on the black market, then use the rest of the money to buy a whole bunch of fudge, put it in a swimming pool, then add it as a ride called "Chocolate Filled Pool!" Quote
CedarPointer Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Maybe Snoopy and Kinzel's Chocolate Pool Adventure! (I can't be the only one who noticed Fort Kinzel at FoF) Quote
corn4ahead Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 i just think it is absolutely hilarious how everyone says that they are goin to be the first to ride when each train on hold 32 people and considering the first rides (by the public) are probably going to be auctioned off for charity like they did for maverick.

(I can't be the only one who noticed Fort Kinzel at FoF) Not only are you not the first or only to notice it, a poster here may in part be responsible for its name...having pointed out many times that its predecessor name honored a former CEO of Paramount Parks, who is now a honcho at Herschend Entertainment. . .

Oh, so it's not self-centeredness rearing its ugly head. (Besides, it must have cost some elusive nickels to repaint it) Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yes, it is in some ways a story about Dick and Jane...a Puff piece, if you will, and many guests never Spot it. Having fun with Dick and Jane yet? Poor Al...he never got a Fort named for HIM! Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Well, in the past, it certainly was NOT named for James Fenimore Cooper! Quote

flightoffear1996 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I wondering if they are going to have an auction thing where you donate money to a good cuase but get to ride Diamondback first like they did for Maverick and various other Cedar Fair coasters. I'll be there opening day hopefully getting two spins on this monster. I am off heading to the park. Quote
Guest TombraiderTy Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Bidding started at $75 for a Maverick seat... you'll have to have a shiny nickel to be a first rider on Diamondback Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Bidding started at $75 for a Maverick seat... you'll have to have a shiny nickel to be a first rider on Diamondback However you can take that off of your taxes! Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Bidding started at $75 for a Maverick seat... you'll have to have a shiny nickel to be a first rider on Diamondback However you can take that off of your taxes! I am advised that is true only to the extent it exceeds the market value of such a ride, and being first at that...When a donor receives something of value for their contribution, the value of the thing received must be deducted from the contribution...and the contribution must in fact be made to an eligible 501 ( c ) 3 organization, and, in some cases, the donor must have a receipt. Even then, some taxpayers will find they cannot deduct 100 percent of their contribution, or cannot deduct it all. There is a reason most organizations say: "Your donation may be tax deductible. Consult your tax adviser." or, even more obliquely: "Your contribution is deductible to the full extent allowed by law." Well, duh! Terpy, who does not recommend that those not in the field give tax advice Quote
joecartoon Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I never even looked up at that! and you call yourself a fofreak Quote
fanofki Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I never even looked up at that! and you call yourself a fofreak You've got a very good point. Quote
FOFreak Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I was so transfixed on beauty of my favorite beast! FOFreak, who may have noticed the sign once in his years, but sadly was erased from his mind while throwimg himself in an adrinaline frenzy on Flight of Fear for the umptenth time... Quote

sora_chan Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Is there an auction? What charity does it go to? How can I bid? This is a good question... but I'm confused about what's going on with that aspect. Depending on the charity I might be up for it. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Yes, charity rides will be auctioned off. No, details are not yet public: http://www.wlwt.com/entertainment/18345701/detail.html Quote
