AgentSoB's awesome weekend and Monday

[AgentSoB]

I figured I would add my madness to all of the trip reports. Although I haven't went through all my photos, I figured I'd still post. (I'll update when I get the rest of my photos)

I will start off by saying that I have attended several events and this is the first time I've really hung out with the crowd. It kind of worked out great, because my girlfriend was sick and I made the trip saturday at 4:00 am alone. It was the perfect opportunity to get to know some people. Also, this is the first drive to KI that I have made solo.

I arrived on time to a smooth check in just like most have reported. The ERT was a fantastic opportunity to ride Backlot as I got 6 rides on it. After this, i decided to seek out a ride on Vortex in seat 5-1. I goofed up and ended up in 5-2. Orgmac and her friend Robin got seat 5-1. So, I reintroduced myself to them and we went our seperate ways. I decided to take a break after the ride due to my shoulder hurting. I dislocated it a few weeks back and Vortex did a number on it. While doing this I snapped some photos of the ride. It was here I got picked up by the KIC group including everyone from JustinM17 to PKIRuler102.

I joined them and gave Vortex another shot. Diamondback was opening and we proceded to go get our rides on that. I am proud to say I was a part of the 22 person ride on DB. Thanks to the DB crew for cooperating and to Avatar for organizing the group. We took a group photo in front of the exit of DB and then proceded to The Crypt. I sat out on Crypt due to being a chicken. However, I had a decent converstion with PKIRulers dad. After this I hung out with Ogrmac and Robin for most of the day.

You all know most of the details from the walkbacks, so I won't bore you with another story. I do have to say thanks to StalkerChick for inviting me to set with her and her friend in the KI Theater. Her pics were awesome... We looked at them while waiting for the presentation to begin.

Also, I have to say that the birthday party for The Beast was a standout for me. I thought it was well done and a great time. Thanks to everyone who helped make that event happen.

I also want to mention that I convinced Ogrmac and Robin to take a night ride on Son of Beast. It inherits a great trait from its daddy... Also, it is a great ride to be going up on during the fireworks. The op even mentioned that to us as we were boarding. Low and behold, all of us had an enjoyable ride. While they still might not be fans they really had a good ride.

DB ERT was after this and we got 11 rides in a row. I retired after 11 because I was ready to fall asleep.

Sunday

This day was a standout for me because my family was coming to the park to spend some time with me. I woke up for RWCW at 6:45 only to get lost on my way from my hotel. I figured hey I missed 71 I know the streets enough to get to the park. I made a wrong turn on Columbia. I stopped to ask for directions and made it to the park at 8:10. This turned out not to be my only problem for the day. (More on that later). ERT was great again and lights on FOF was awesome. I met up with Ogr and Robin again and got rides on All the ERT rides (-Firehawk) along with DB, AE, and Backlot.

After this my family was arriving, and it was time to meet them at the gate. Turns out, I forgot a coupon I had at home for discount admissions at the gate. So, I had to make a trip to the local Meijer quick like to buy tickets. So, I killed an hour off my families trip. I also missed The Racer walkback. Orgmac was nice to send me photos though.

To make a long story short the trip turned out to be great for my family they got two rides on DB and hit up several coasters. We even had our usual Son of Beast ride. The highlight of the night was my grandpa on the Dodgems. He is ruthless... The only other negative thing about the day was my ever growing sunburn.

I still made the SoB tour so I was excited. I am in total awe standing underneath that ride. It makes my love for that ride grow even more. It broke my fear of coasters several years ago and I've liked it ever since. I truely think it is a piece of art.

Now for a couple pictures. (The Racer photos are courtesy of Ogrmac)

Behind the scenes shots are always good!

least they are attempting to race... Blue always gets its butt handed to it.

Here they come...

Can I give it a hug??

I kind of messed this up... we were supposed to be peeling our faces back. I was

just having a good time.

I remember this time as we are the three monkeys... I'm "speak no evil". I came up

with "smell no evil" for the single rider that was paired with Robin.

I'll post more photos once I get them on a disk at work. My card reader at home will not read my 4GB card.

I mention monday in my title because I attended WWE Raw in Columbus. I'm a wrestling fan and that event along with the RWCW made things even better.

AgentSoB, you have upgraded me from Son of Beast hater, LOL. I'll still need to ride it a few more times before I form any more opinions. The fireworks helped me keep my mind off the fact that the lift hill is so huge. Honestly, I think that was part of my disliking of that coaster. If you wanted to hug it, I'd have taken a picture of that too, haha.

Those Diamondback photos are priceless to say the least, even the one where you forgot to pose.

Excellent trip report, i'm glad you had a nice time. You are welcome to hang out with Robin and me anytime!

That night ERT was cool. Too bad the camera stopped working. I did all that posing and only got one photo all weekend.
