first 10000 riders

[ftskatie]

how long do you think it's going to take for 10,000 people to ride Diamondback?

if i get in line in the mid-afternoon, will i get a shirt?

Depends on the hourly capacity. Most likely though.

[violakat03]

Hourly capacity is 1600 riders. That's a little over 6 hours. So as long as you ride before 2, you should definitely get one.

Hourly capacity is 1600 riders.

1620........

Jackson, who can't help it, he lost a poster because of that!

1620 is maximum. I would expect the crew tomorrow to be somewhere around 1000-1200, not knocking the crew at all, just the way it works out. So honestly if you ride at all tomorrow, you'll prolly get one.

All the same i'm still going there as soon as the ERT begins. I'd rather get it out of the way early and spend the rest of the day riding the other rides.

Once you see this thing operate you'd see how much more realistic 1620 is than 1000. It operates like none other. As soon as a train leaves the station another is pulling in. None of that waiting around stuff that you get with other rides.

getting there early for ERT would be ideal,

but one of the people i go with is gold passless

and i don't want to make him be alone, so we're just going to wait

i'm hoping it will be SO worth it

so basically boddah, there wont be any waiting in one spot for 15 min thing, like on the Firehawk?

So you basically always keep walking!!! awesome.

B & M hypercoasters are capacity monsters. I'd not bet money they won't be at capacity very quickly. Restraints are ergonomic, riders catch on quickly...the only possible hitch is the seating arrangement, and I doubt that detracts from capacity much, if at all.

[kiruler102]

so you can pretty much guarantee a short amount of time in the station waiting to leave... going by all of this i bet the line will not exceed more than 3 hrs. ( i hope). how long do you think it would take to ride if the line only exceeded to the end of the quele not onto the blacktop?

Does anybody have an idea? just wanted to know!!!
