My uncle took me and Mitch to KI this weekend for Ride Warriors. He didn't take us til' Noon Saturday so We missed All Saturday Morning ERT, and Beast tour. The park was pretty crowded Saturday but I didn't care. We didn't get a whole lot of rides in on Saturday (Minus Dback ERT.) Q&A Was fun, but Beast's Birthday Party wasn't that great so I left it early. At about 9:20pm. I got in Line for Beast. But it closed from 9:50-10:05 because of the fireworks so I didn't get off til' 10:10. I than went to Diamondback ERT. The queue wasn't that full we waited 7 Minutes for Very front. After that ride the line kept getting smaller so we Just kept getting on and alot of times staying on for up to 8 Rides without leaving the station! It was great, at about my 28th. Ride I started to not feel so good. A skunk sprayed in the woods, the on ride photo hurts my eyes, and all those G's were starting to get to me. So I got off on my 31st. Ride (ERT had just ended.) I went back to the hotel and fell asleep. I set my alarm for 6am. but my ride turned it off and woke me up 9 hours later, so I missed all the ERT on Sunday! Luckily the park was dead and I got a walkon on Delirium, Drop Zone, Invertigo, and SOB (Stayed on twice without leaving the train.) But I missed Racer tour by a few minutes. SOB Tour was amazing, loved it! We left around 7:40pm.

I took over 200 Photos, but I'm only posting the more unique ones.

The Hershey machine that, like the other "Hershey" machines in the park, has M & M products in it?

Terpy, who was confusigated by that....

YES! The machines sometimes say Hershey and Have Snickers, Milky Way, M&M's, ect... And a few (I know of one in Drop Tower's queue) Is Mars Brand but I think there is Hershey Products in it.

The funny thing is we were with him when he took that picture of the tree. And we questioned it. I also remember some more of the really random pictures he took as well.

Ha! Yeah Remember me taking photos of the most random things? I'm like that, Just take random photos and see if I like them!

And the Nestle ice cream machines often have pictures of M & M drumstick type cones on the side....I really hope the park isn't soon visited by reps from either Hershey, M & M or Nestle. I doubt they'd be amused...

Now I'm hungry for those M&M Cookie Ice Cream things!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING photographs!!!

Thank you, I'm glad you like them!

Yes and the M&M's machine that is in question right now. He also grabbed a quick picture of that. I also remember a certain "Large Family" that he took pictures of and couldn't stop laughing at. LMAO

I have those photos in my camera still! That family was just so funny I couldn't help but to take photos of them!

Wow I love your photos. What kind of camera do you have. I like the zoom on it. Ihave been looking for a new camera but I want something small wth lots of zoom so I dont have to be bothered about carrying it in the park.

Canon SX110. It has pretty good zoom(10optical, 30x), especially compared to my old camera (3 optical.)

wow.... thats all I can say!! amazing!

Ha, thank you!

Great photos! I agree with the others that you should send that photo into the contest.

When was Slingshot $5? Everytime I saw it this past weekend it was "only" $15 or $20, which is why I haven't ridden it yet...

Thanks, I think I will enter that photo into the contest! And It was at 10:59am. when I bought it but I didn't ride til' about 2pm.

Hmm...I need to walk back by WWC.

Nice shots, but don't try to zoom in so much. Quality of quantity.

Yeah, I love the view of Diamondback you get from back there, Especially when the train comes by! Thanks, and I'm still not used to having such a good camera that I'm obsessed with zooming in on everything.

It usualy $5 in the morning. Also you can buy a $5 ticket in the morning and its good all day. The wait time is horrible on that ride.
