Kawana Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'm at 16 right now but for me, it's not about the numbers. It's about having fun and enjoying the newest member of the KI family. Wow I only have 7 I can't convince my sister to just ride Diamondback over and over again! well thats no fun. you can actually get (extremely) wet on Diamondback if you try. i did it by (a very stupid) accident. not sure if youre supposed to though... I actually got wet in row 16 of the red train Sunday. I had my hands straight up and it still got me. I was told that the red train will more often than not get you wet. I don't remember which train it was on, but on Friday, I got soaked in the right side of row 16. Absolutely soaked. That one knocked my arm forward quite a bit. I was actually trying to get wet on that one though. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 My ride count was at 20 on Saturday. That was before today when Kat randomly IMed me and said I should go to the park with her. Now I'm at 24. Quote

I was actually trying to get wet on that one though. thats exactly where i got wet. red train. if you put any part of your body out just slightly back, you'll get wet. i started by accidentely putting my hear back there, and next thing i know, my hair is wet and my face is soaked Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I have been really behind this year, I got 1 on opening day, 1 on the 26th, and 4 yesterday, bringing me to 6 total. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 On my second ride yesterday, I was in row 16 on the left side. The guy next to me decided to turn around to look at the splashback, and got soaked. My left armpit got a little damp from the spray. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I have four total. 2 on Opening Day, and 2 on the 25. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I've only ridden it once (on opening day). Haven't had a chance to get back to the park since. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I was in the second seat from the back yesterday. I turned around to look at the splashdown.. WOW. You don't realize how big it is until it's practically in your face. Quote
gad198 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Right at 25. This has been discussed before but night rides are much better, not only for the visuals but because the ride is faster. We sat in the very back row and we were still catching air on the "up" part of the second and third hills. We even got some fantastic floater air over every hill in the middle of the train! Quote
Braves0511 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Marathoned in the SRL today. It was great. That may have been you that I kept meeting in line ...I was wearing a Danville baseball shirt... Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Marathoned in the SRL today. It was great. That may have been you that I kept meeting in line ...I was wearing a Danville baseball shirt... There were quite a few people doing that, though. Quote
tigellinus Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Due to being idle from KI this whole weekend my ride count remains at 32. However, obviously next weekend should get that total above 50! Quote

Skywriter Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I have not rode it yet I have tired soo many times though. Quote
rotag Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 i got in 6 on opening day and 14 on 4/25 making a total of 20. plan on adding many more to the list. Quote
Braves0511 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Marathoned in the SRL today. It was great. That may have been you that I kept meeting in line ...I was wearing a Danville baseball shirt... There were quite a few people doing that, though. Were you wearing orange rimmed sunglasses and had just come from work? If not then it was just a random guy marathon-ing, however the conversations we had in line were pleasant... Quote
MillenniumBeast Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 My 7 seems so small >_< But the next time I go back down with my sister we should get in 10 or more rides Quote
Braves0511 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Don't feel bad, I was feeling pretty good about my 10 last night until previously mentioned man in orange sunglasses mentioned his 40 laps he got that day, and then the guy behind us said he had 107...I quit Quote
KIfan1980 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I'm still in the single digits, but on Saturday afternoon rode with someone who has been marathoning Diamondback and was on ride 73 (he was hoping to be over 100 by the end of Sunday). I hope to hit 100 sometime this season. Quote
HTCO Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hopefully, during the ERT on Diamondback, I want to get around... 50? 50-22=28 Rides on DB this weekend.. I think I can do it Quote
CoasterFreak45 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Sadly, one. But I hope to exceed that number. 30+ would be nice. Quote
Fear the Four Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 7 But I'm going with a friend saturday that has only rode it once so we will ride it like 10 times. Quote
goofywdw Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I have 22! Maybe more this weekend but I don't know for sure seeing that it is Mother's Day, my mom's birthday and I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We shall see. Quote
markr Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I'm still in the single digits, but on Saturday afternoon rode with someone who has been marathoning Diamondback and was on ride 73 (he was hoping to be over 100 by the end of Sunday). I hope to hit 100 sometime this season. That might have been me. Was at KI Saturday afternoon for just a few hours and rode rides 71-75 that day. Would have had more but had Bat Mitzvah to attend in the morning and a dinner at night. Quote

HTCO Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I was in the very back on friday, and I turned around on the splashdown, and boy is it amazing! Its like god striking the water right in front of you! Quote
corn4ahead Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 i have had a lowly 3 2 in the back and one in the 2nd car 1st row Quote
