HEY! no stealing my ideas! Although if you do, at least get pictures ;) That would be hilarious.

If he does, I'll get a picture of him in his mask and cape and me in my single rider shirt together. :lol:

That'd be cool :D If I can't find a mask I'll wear the sombrero (Spelling?) I bought during spring break in mexico :)

I still have no idea how to go about getting a cape, but if anyone has an idea i'll see if I can give it a shot ;)

I've got a long black one. Try a halloween store?

If you find some cheap material you like, I could easily make you a cape out of it in about ... oh 10 minutes on the sewing machine.

But the question is, will any halloween stores be open this time of year? And a cape would have to be a safety concern on rides like Invertigo. Maybe the ride ops will let me roll it up and sit on it...

Foy's in Fairborn is open year round.

Foy's is the coolest! Me and the wife go there every year, had no idea it was year round.

Mike Foy pretty much owns Fairborn's Main Street. The main store (the original five and dime) is open year round and has a small costume section in the very back. I'm betting they'll have a cape. I think the adult costume store is open year round as well, but I'm not certain.

Have you ever eaten at Foy's Grill? It's next to the main store and they're only open for breakfast and lunch, but it's good cheap food! I love eating there, especially with all the pictures and newspapers on the wall about the history of our very unique town.

The stream of quotes is getting to be quite long, so i'll just make a new post. After checking out Foy's website I wasn't able to find anything that I was looking for. I can probably get ahold of some material for the cape and have Kat sew one up for me, but the mask is questionable.

I can find you a mask. If Foy's doesn't have one, I bet card & party outlet will have one. I'll try to remember to hit up Foy's tomorrow to see if they've got any capes or masks. I'm sure they don't have their entire inventory online.

You're definitely right about that. They didn't have much of an online inventory at all. But if you can find a place that has that kind of mask let me know where and how much and i'll attempt to drive out and get it. I say attempt because i've only had my license since the 11th and I still don't know my way around anywhere except Trenton :)

No,we'll have to try it out next time we are over there. if we are over that way, we usually goup 235 and eat at Mel-O-Dee.

I think it's hilarious that Single Rider Bob is inspiring you to actually wear a cape and mask and do marathon rides on Diamondback! Then again, Diamondback is a great ride.

Lol, it is kind of amusing :) Sorry for hijacking your thread by the way. Me wearing a mask and cape next week is most likely not the kind of discussion you had in mind when you started this thread.

Or maybe Single Rider Kat, since I intend to be there all 3 days of next weekend power-lapping Diamondback in my own bright green single rider shirt! :D:lol:

Sorry to hijack the costume convo ;), but it's good to hear there's at least one person not concerned about the D-back crew seeing our DB loving faces many, many times!! :D

I told the supervisor running the SRL last night that next week I'd wear my single rider shirt. I'm sure she'll be sick of seeing it after a while, but maybe she won't pester me about whether I'm really a single rider or not!

Hey, as long as I'm getting a laugh then it's okay. I checked this thread earlier in the day and it had no responses and I thought no one cared about it. Now it's on its third page. If you go through with this you've GOT to take pictures of yourself! Sorry about the double post.

I saw Single Rider Bob today a few times. I noticed that the top half of the back of his shirt said "Over 1200 Rides Mil. Force 2008." Out of sheer curiosity, did anyone catch what the rest of the back of his shirt said?

I talked to Bob for a bit yesterday, and he seemed pretty cool...the funniest thing is when I was commenting to him about following certain queue rules, he'd always respond, "Do it anyway!" :lol: ya gotta love that!

I don't have a camera of my own (Which is the sole reason for my lack of a TR of yesterday) but if any KIC members happen to see me, feel free to stop me and ask for a picture :)

Don't worry about her too much Kat. Just enjoy all your rides on the marvel that is Diamondback.

If I ever become "Single Rider Dvo," I'm wearing a bandit mask and a cape for sure. :)

If I ever become "Single Rider so and so" I'll wonder what went terribly terribly wrong. I love coasters, don't get me wrong, but once my day consists of one coaster, it's time to move on.

I hate to be the wet dishrag, but wearing a mask in public is illegal in virtually every state, except for little kids at Halloween/Trick or Treat Nights. These laws were passed largely in response to KKK rallies, and in other places after bank robberies. I would not think wearing a mask to KI is a good idea. In fact, the park specifically prohibits adults wearing masks during Halloween Haunt, unless they are employees.
