Was anyone else on the Diamondback when it broke early this morning around 12 I think? Me and my girlfreind rode it and they shut us down on the top of the hill.

Did the coaster eventually continue on? Or did they have to evacuate you all?

They had to call in the snake patrol and feed him. Thats why he stoped.

Duh!!

They started us back up after about 20 minutes then ran all 3 trains alone then gave us these passes to come back and ride 0nce in front row. It was fun in front. But i waited to ride Firehawk yesterday and got on, lowerd us and we broke and they took 30 minutes for some maneger to fet there. 20 more for matmince. And 2 hours for them to get us out because we sat in the front row and they opend 1 harnese at a time starting from the back.

OMG... Don't stop me on the FIRST hill... I don't like it... I hafta close my eyes till we get going OVERBOARD, then my eyes are wide open!!!!! still don't care to much about the "airtime", maybe in time will get used to it...

This happens all the time on rides....They go down sometimes, its normal.

I wouldn't care on other rides, this one & FH, (refuse to ride) would be the only ones. Ok, no Drop Tower either...

So it wouldn't bother you to stop at the top of the lift for Son of Beast?

Terpy, seeking first to understand

no because if you stop on SOB then you may go through the ride because of the slant thing

What slant thing? If you stop at the top of the lift, unless the ride has cleared the lift, it isn't going anywhere. How is it any different than the other coasters in the park in this respect? If you mean it has a fake-out first drop, the other coasters, that don't, have a REAL drop right after the lift!

at least you got free passes!! yes it happens i hope i never have to walk off a ride:

I was actually in line in the single rider line when this happened. I felt bad though afterwards because we were all kinda laughing at whoever had to walk up the stairs to talk to you guys because he made the mistake of running up the stairs when he first started so he was worn out before he was halfway to the train. But we all ended up cheering for him when he got back in the station to congratulate him for that.

Off topic but went in the single rider line all day and got 15 rides on Diamondback today alone!

And just think, Don went up those steps for us...and even took pictures...then he came down!

^^^Yeah and I feel sorry for him and anybody that has to walk up those stairs

Many have said that walking down is a lot worse than the walk up. On the way up, the stairs are in front of you...on the way down, the world is...

Terpy, who knows these things first hand on several coasters...at least a couple of them really big ones!

Better to be stuck on the first hill than the second.

...or on the midcourse brake...

I'd love to walk up or down Diamondback's catwalk! You have to have a harness type thing on though, I'm pretty sure...

I just got in line when this happened.I waited like 15 mintues and left and same thing for the Crypt everytime I get in line for that ride it breaks down its happened to me 4 times now 4 times!

Hence: Fear the Four (times)...

Terpy, who is on a roll...(Kaiser?)

Terpy, seeking first to understand

hmmm, Terpy, will hafta think about that one.... But maybe not cause I can look out & about on that one but on DB I tell Jess to tell me when we are there, you know, when we are PLUNGINGGGGGGGGGGG, down.... YEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!

welp, yeah, that is true.. depends on how high it is in the first hill you get stuck.

Always better to be stuck on a hill than in a valley.

Later today around 6:45ish, it stoped closer to the bottom for about 30 secounds then started back up.. anyone care to elaborate on that?? I had no clue what happened..

Always better to be stuck on a hill than in a valley.

Provided said hill has steps or some other evacuation method, and preferably a lift system. Some years back (in 1998), Six Flags Great America's Demon got stuck. In the loop. At the top. With 23 riders upside down. For about three hours! Can you say cherrypicker?

I rode it at about 10:30 and about 5:30 and the ride was running smooth and didn't seem to have any issues when i rode it.

Ahh, but isn't the top of a loop just an inverted valley?

I suppose it is better to be stuck at the top of a loop upside down than at the bottom of a valley upside down!

But what happens when you get stuck on TTD?

Skaterboy who just HAD to..

You wish you were on Kingda Ka, which has kicker tires up there...

Actually on Top Thrill Dragster, a maintenance worker comes out and gives the train a slight push.

It happened last year. For real.
