Quick Sunday Morning 3/31

So I was planning to go to KI on Friday night or for Saturday ERT to get some laps on DB in, but that was scratched when we learned the hard way that my 5 year old has a new allergy. He's ok, but I have to say I love the staff at Cincinnati Children's Hospital - good people!

I then thought about going after getting home from the hospital on Saturday night after kids were in bed, but luckily I checked the radar at 7:30pm

So finally at 9:30 this morning I was walking back to DB.

  • First ride requested row 2 (love it)
  • Second ride was in SRL and was assigned to join a group of 3 ACE members going to row 1 (hate when that happens). DaveStroem joined the row 1 line behind me and thanks to my t-shirt we got to meet
  • Third ride right before the big crowd joined was in row 11 and I saw the most amazing thing. Going over the third hill a cell phone was lost from the front of the train and was floating along with the train as we crested the hill and started down. It was incredible to watch it fly along with the coaster before crashing to the floor of the car in front of us (although it could have been dangerous as coming off the mid course brake, the battery cover almost hit the kid in the row behind me)
Following this I headed to Beast (where due to no lines, I was able to re-ride). Rest of the morning included a 5.1 ride on Vortex (y'all know what you are talking about), a ride on FOF, Flight Deck and my first ever Drop Tower ride (don't know why I've never gotten on before, but wow - what a rush) before heading home for lunch and to spend the rest of the day with the family (they were supposed to join me for the afternoon, but changed their minds). All in all a fun day. I should give kudos to the ride ops throughout the park as well - can't be easy being that charged up early in the day and they had the trains departing the DB and Beast station very quickly.

Also, got a chance to meet Don Helbig on my walk from DB to Beast - very friendly guy and although I'm sure he had something else to do, he was willing to spend a few minutes talking to me and even was willing to respond to some input - I have family members with food allergies and think the park needs to do a better job with their allergy information. He acknowledged this and explained that they had a new person in food service with experience at other parks who was working to compile improved information - good news if you are like my family!
